Template:Scan/Symbol

edit

What are you actually trying to do? because this template is generating a LOT of malformed HTML. You can't nest DIV's inside of SPAN elements, even if you change them to inline-blocks in CSS, and it seems overly complex for what you want to do. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:55, 19 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for asking. I believe a template for scansion is necessary because the present method of manually aligning symbols in a monospace block behaves poorly on small screens. I started with one line of scansion symbols, tested that version on various browsers, and found it worked fine. I thought adding a second line would simply involve nesting two ruby elements over eachother. This worked in all browsers, except IE. I then found that, bizarrely, IE would align the second rb element correctly only if the inner ruby element was wrapped in a block, wrapped again in an inline-block. This solution caused further problems that I found other problematic means to fix. To be honest, it has become a mess and it would be more productive to return it to representing one line of symbols when I have time. There are also some divs inside the rbs for aligning the symbols, but those should be easily replaced with spans. I should have kept it within the userspace until I tested multiple lines. If you can see any alternatives to ruby charcters for this issue, please tell me. --small jars tc 21:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for adding Extended Katakana

edit

Thank you for adding the Extended Katakana table to Katakana. It adds so many useful additional pronunciations to the Japanese language that many people didn't know. I think it should also be on the Japanese page ja:片仮名 or is there an other page with that? There are more Extended Katakana on the German article. Those could be added. -Artanisen (talk) 06:49, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please be aware that it is not my own work, but was copied from Hepburn romanisation, where it was apparently developed by several editors over the years. All I did was move it into a more prominent place. If you extend it with content from the German article, please update the version there too. Maybe a template would be appropriate in this situation? small jars tc 16:04, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Borrowed scenery, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chinese. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Chivalry of a Failed Knight

edit

Please refrain from editing that section of the page, there's a dispute form for it open, that you'd have seen since you commented near where it was mentioned in the talk page, and all that does is potentially force it to take longer with the overseeing mod wondering whether you were dragged here by one of the users in the dispute to edit on their behalf. If you see a page has a dispute open, don't go editing the section, just put what you have to say regarding the matter in either the talk page or the form if applicable.

Rashad Hashim archive article

edit

Hey! The archived article was a really interesting find which, imo, throws more confusion on the question than clarity. I can't find a reference of it anywhere else (the original site is now password-protected), couldn't find that in Internet Archive based on various search terms, nothing on WorldCat under names in English or Arabic, etc. The way Momtaza Mehri described both poets also seems, from the content on the English wiki, discordant with their biographies as we have them. I'm not trying to discredit Mehri but one person saying they have read an author does not existence prove. Kazamzam (talk) 01:07, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

AFDs

Hello, SmallJarsWithGreenLabels,

Please remember to sign all of your comments that you make in AFD discussions. I had to look at the page history in one to find out that you made an argument to Keep an article. Just remember four tildes and your signature will be applied. It wouldn't hurt for you to go back to those you commented upon and sign any that you didn't originally sign. Thank you for your contributions. Liz Read! Talk! 07:02, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

  It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large.

Scottywong case opened

edit

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Scottywong. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Scottywong/Evidence. Please add your evidence by June 21, 2023, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Scottywong/Workshop.

Hi SJwGL. We've both opined on this case evidence phase. You wrote, "Scottywong is close to a person whose native language is not written in Latin script. Barring utter foolishness, he must then have had some idea of what xenophobic effect his comments could have had regardless of intent." Just noting (in private, for you to consider, rather than too much peanut gallery talk on the case pages) that I have a name that is in Latin script but requires nonstandard characters (diacriticals), am close to people whose native language is not written in Latin script, and am still befuddled why Scottywong's Mr Squiggles remark is being interpreted xenophobically at all, by anyone (i.e., "xenophobic effect"). I wouldn't express myself that way, since I find it (and more of the comment) unncessarily belittling in general, but on reading it no language/ethnic/cultural animus occurred to me. Perhaps that is since people I know with names in nonLatin script (or with diacriticals like myself) tend to uncontroversially Latinize them in English-speaking contexts, so in the general context of Maldanach's behaviour, I would have tended to assume their use of nonLatin characters without alternatives in their signature was probably trolling or attention seeking behaviour rather than an expression of cultural identity. Of course, had I also read their user: page (and the fact this turns out to be an LTA who has been trolling all of us, apparently, makes this all bizarre), I would have contemplated that possibility as more likely, but absent that it would not have been my default. Martinp (talk) 11:30, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have no experience being anywhere near to the receiving end of this kind of thing (I've never known anyone on a personal level IRL whose first script wasn't Latin). So, my assumption that it would be utterly obvious to anyone who had been (which SW made out that he had) that it could be taken as having xenophobic intent, was based mainly on the sheer number of people in the community who have already seen it in that exact light, and due to the assumption also sounding plausible to me on a logical level. On reflection, I shouldn't have been so confident that this assumption applies universally, as you have given yourself as an example of where it might not, so I have softened the wording. BTW, by "xenophobic effect" I mean two possible things:
  1. Giving the person the impression that you really do have xenophobic intent towards them
  2. Even if you seem to have a different intent, giving the person the sense that attributes that clearly relate to ethnicity/culture make them inherently less valuable
I still think SW's comments at least do the second. small jars tc 13:59, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
