I was trying out some new designs for the tables, if you were wondering. Waahlis.png Waahlis 01:47, 30 July 2012 (EST)

I approve Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 02:03, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Declension √tt - first (father)
Patientative Agentative Instrumental Locative
Collective atta attau attan attei
Singular attam attum attaya attea
Plural atita atitau atitan atitei

Something like this? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 02:05, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Me gusta =) Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 02:08, 30 July 2012 (EST)

I'll work on a few more designs. Though blue will be the primary nuance. --Waahlis.png Waahlis 02:09, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Umbrean

Quick question, how do you mark or form possessive clauses in Umbrean? Waahlis.png Waahlis 03:53, 30 July 2012 (EST)

How do you mean? Like "The queens crown"? Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 04:06, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Uhhh, Yeah, I suppose that'll do? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 04:08, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Considering you say "Suppose" Which did you mean otherwise?

For that hting you use the constructive state of nouns. Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 04:11, 30 July 2012 (EST)

No, no, the example was juste very unexpected... Can I see an example? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 04:16, 30 July 2012 (EST)

I can't give an example though look up arabic and its similar.

Though technicly it has 2 posessives.

Alienable uses the construction state where the posessed is put into construction state of the same case as the posessor. "My computer broke" would be like "I computer-con broke"

Inalienable both nouns are places in their basic form. "My arm broke" would simply be "I arm broke"

Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 04:20, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Very well, thank you but I solved the problem I was working on. Waahlis.png Waahlis 04:24, 30 July 2012 (EST)

May I ask why you desired this information? Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 04:27, 30 July 2012 (EST)

I was considering ways of expressing possession in Attian. --Waahlis.png Waahlis 04:41, 30 July 2012 (EST)

adposition, clitic, state, case overlap or verb are the usual ones I am aware of. Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 04:42, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Template:Classing --Waahlis.png Waahlis 05:38, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Good start, but isnt typology redudant with what we have? Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 05:55, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Well, what I wanted to show off, was the new table style. There are three new ones. --Waahlis.png Waahlis 06:01, 30 July 2012 (EST)

Hellou! Do you think you could make a switch in this template so that the top 5 rows only appear if you write something in them? :) --Waahlis.png Waahlis 20:51, 31 July 2012 (EST)

Individually or as a group? Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 22:19, 31 July 2012 (EST)

I am not sure, ah, what the hell - take them all! --Waahlis.png Waahlis 22:43, 31 July 2012 (EST)

Ban

Why are you banned on Wikia? PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 00:27, 2 August 2012 (EST)

Hahaa, yeah, I forgot to tell you about that. Out of the air, Wikia decided to block him based upon his previous misdemeanour. Quite humorous if you ask me. Waahlis.png Waahlis 00:30, 2 August 2012 (EST)

How strange, what was the specific reason they gave? PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 00:31, 2 August 2012 (EST)

Oh, please, "reason"? That's for rebels and agitators... Waahlis.png Waahlis 00:33, 2 August 2012 (EST)

I placed a warning on the welcome message that anything added will be kept there ragardless of their consent after it has been added. Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 00:55, 2 August 2012 (EST)

6 months is a bit harsh, not that you use Wikia anymore so it's not a great shame I don't suppose. PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 00:59, 2 August 2012 (EST)

It is WIKIA, they are assholes so of course htey would do 6 months, they have yet to respond to any form of reasoning. Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 01:00, 2 August 2012 (EST)

On valency

If you ever want to get a totally neutral reaction out of a linguist (typologists excluded), ask them about valency. If you (yes, you) divided up the world into those that care about valence-changing operations and those that don't and pitted the two groups against each other in a deadly game of dodgeball played with spiked metal balls rather than rubber ones, then at the end of the day, there'd no longer be anyone alive who cared about valence-changing operations—myself included (though I'd put up a hell of a fight!).

- David J. Petersen

Thought it suited you quite well! --Waahlis.png Waahlis 05:33, 4 August 2012 (EST)

Might be due to my tired state but I have no clue what it is meant for Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 15:15, 4 August 2012 (EST)

No, it just seems like you like valency and transitivity a lot. If not, well... Waahlis.png Waahlis 15:56, 4 August 2012 (EST)

I think little of those :P But they do serve their purposes.Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 16:10, 4 August 2012 (EST)

I've created a Template:Vowelchart. Would it be possible for you to make the cells disappear, if they are not used? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 16:14, 4 August 2012 (EST)

there is no input method there Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 16:44, 4 August 2012 (EST)

What? I intend to make it our standard vowel chart for our languages? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 16:49, 4 August 2012 (EST)

yes but without input it cannot be changed Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 16:51, 4 August 2012 (EST)

So you're saying that one would need to enter "no" instead of nothing to make the cells disappear? Waahlis.png Waahlis 16:54, 4 August 2012 (EST)

You can have nothing or no as the input, but you need input variables like {{{1|}}} or {{{Closemidround|}}} or whatever within the template Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 17:06, 4 August 2012 (EST)

I know that! I just asked if it would be possible for you to fix those switches? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 19:17, 4 August 2012 (EST)

Yes Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 19:31, 4 August 2012 (EST)

It was mostly a rhetorical question. If I want to create these variables, that is if I want a Close central rounded vowel, ʉ, by inputting "yes", how would it look? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 19:42, 4 August 2012 (EST)

{{#if:{{{CCRV|}}}|ʉ|}} is how it would be Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 20:58, 4 August 2012 (EST)

On Rostov

Apparently Rostov's playing nice now. Good for him. His recruiting seems to go well. --Waahlis.png Waahlis 04:40, 5 August 2012 (EST)

Don't know, don't care for that asshole Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 04:57, 5 August 2012 (EST)

Thumbs up Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 04:35, 7 August 2012 (EST)

I discovered a major fallacy, when the box didn't distinguish object or subject personal agreement, nor gender. Both cases happened to be vital to my lang.... :p --Waahlis.png Waahlis 04:37, 7 August 2012 (EST)

Elaboirate what you mean Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 04:40, 7 August 2012 (EST)

Would it be possible for you to make a working template out of Template:Vowelchart? So that if you write "yes" on Nc-Nf-uR you get the near-close near-front unrounded vowel (ɪ)? Same thing about the rounded one (ʏ) but including the dot (·), so that you "know" it is rounded? And if neither of the vowels in a pair are selected, the cell disappears? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 23:23, 8 August 2012 (EST)

I can but I suggested a better coding system than Nc-Nf-uR first, which I don't know. It just is crummy Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 00:45, 9 August 2012 (EST)

Yeah, whatever abbreviation you prefer the most. Waahlis.png Waahlis 01:03, 9 August 2012 (EST)

You come with the abbreviation, I will fix that after Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 01:17, 9 August 2012 (EST)

I'm not sure I know any better versions? NCNFUR? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 01:21, 9 August 2012 (EST)

Me neither, ask the mobster Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 01:22, 9 August 2012 (EST)

On deletion

So I don't think I'll be getting around to editing my Shadish page in a very long time. Can I just take it off the site, or should I just let the inactivity policy be carried out? --OlykoekSlayer 13:58, 15 August 2012 (EST)

If you want we can delete it for you, or if you want time to think on things you can tell us how much time you need and we will leave it be that long before doing anything. Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 17:34, 15 August 2012 (EST)

On pagebox

Why doesn't the image for the box work!? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 00:49, 19 August 2012 (EST)

id info


I dont know, I will have to look into it when I get back from my vacation more closely Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 03:32, 19 August 2012 (EST)

Oh, you're on vacation! How nice! Be sure not to stress then. Waahlis.png Waahlis 08:05, 19 August 2012 (EST)

Return

Welcome back! :) Waahlis.png Waahlis 19:38, 26 August 2012 (EST)

Still in England :) I am back tomorrow fully Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 20:08, 26 August 2012 (EST)

Oh. Jolly good then! ;) Waahlis.png Waahlis 20:11, 26 August 2012 (EST)

Indeed jolly old champ! :D I miss the cities of the land of the swedes

On article style

A few stylistic mistakes which were repeated throughout the text, and you might ought to remember:

  • Do not capitalise anything else but proper names in texts.
  • Only the first initial in headers are capitalised.
  • Headers are never in an oblique or bold style.
  • Headers are never links.
  • English capitalises all adjectivised proper names.
  • Abbreviations should be avoided.
  • Words such as "pros" and "cons" are subjective and should be avoided.

Nothing personal, of course. Waahlis.png Waahlis 05:08, 1 September 2012 (EST)

I know, nothing personal, I am not the most fantastic with style and such, that is why I like having you around to fix my mistakes.

Though "Pros" and "Cons" can be objective, these ones are more obejctive and hence why I included them for things for people to consider. Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 05:13, 1 September 2012 (EST)

I think "characteristics" is a more neutral and objective choice, and nevertheless, they should be blended with text. Waahlis.png Waahlis 05:19, 1 September 2012 (EST)

I can accept that if you wish to put it like that. Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 05:21, 1 September 2012 (EST)

I will fix a more considered alternative when I have completed my prioritations. --Waahlis.png Waahlis 05:23, 1 September 2012 (EST)

Voting

You think you could make a voting template where they would add there name into the "vote" input(or whatever), seprating names by a comma, they would then put a semicolon and then the language name/insoles. you would somehow check if the user is real(probably by adding "User:" to the beginning of it) and checking to see if they already voted. I know it's a big task, but it's for the wikis good. :) (at least to make it easier to vote:\)

MP3s

Do you know how to add MP3 files to articles? I can't even upload load one to the wiki. PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 20:42, 9 September 2012 (EST)

I don't think Wikkii allows MP3 files at all. It doesn't allow vector files, for example. What language? :) Waahlis.png Waahlis 20:50, 9 September 2012 (EST)

I have a reading of the Lord's Prayer in Kihā́mmic that I recorded last night, it's not great quite a lot of the phonology is off but it's good enough I think. I suppose I could upload it to YouTube with a "lyrics video" and embed that? PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 21:06, 9 September 2012 (EST)

Yeah, I know that works. I just don't like my things on youtube... Waahlis.png Waahlis 21:08, 9 September 2012 (EST)

You can't sadly, we need to grow suffiently large to be able to get our own codesn ad such to do taht first, but youtube is uspported. Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 21:13, 9 September 2012 (EST)

I'm not overly keen on having them on YouTube either but if I make it private I think that should be fine. Now to make a video then.

Ah, okay, ah well YouTube will have to suffice. PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 21:15, 9 September 2012 (EST)

Nyheter

Det tog lång tid innan Wikkii hämtade sig där. Vet du vad som hände?

De absolut senaste nyheterna är att jag blivit blockade på den gamla wikin, annars intet nytt. Waahlis.png Waahlis 19:23, 15 September 2012 (EST)

Varför blev du blockad?

och nej jag vet inte varför Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 20:30, 15 September 2012 (EST)

Det verkar som om det var planerat. Både blockningen och uppehållet på Wikkii... Jag vill ju få hit Fauxlosophe för att tala med honom, han verkade väldigt trevlig och engagerad, vilket resulterade i att vår vän blev sur och sa till dem på Wikia att jag marknadsförde vår wiki. Nåväl. Jag löser det. Waahlis.png Waahlis 21:18, 15 September 2012 (EST)

Hahaha, han är en idiot och wikia är också idioter, jag är glad vi stack därifrån =) Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 21:57, 15 September 2012 (EST)

Featured

In my opinion, we're getting quite close to get the voting started:

Waahlis.png Waahlis 02:54, 17 September 2012 (EST)

Looks fine to me Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 04:05, 17 September 2012 (EST)

On the main page

We need to get that party started. Please give me your opinion on it; improvements, criticism, anything concrete. Then hopefully, October'll be the month of the first official featured voting! Waahlis.png Waahlis 22:24, 26 September 2012 (EST)

Huh? --Waahlis.png Waahlis 02:39, 30 September 2012 (EST)

For example where it says "<editcount-total>" it should say "Percentage" or something similar. PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 02:43, 30 September 2012 (EST)

Ehm, no it does not. Not on my smartphone, nor on the computer. Sorry, it must be you... :/ Waahlis.png Waahlis 03:19, 30 September 2012 (EST)

Odd, I'll try in on other browsers. PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 03:27, 30 September 2012 (EST)

It displays fine on Firefox and IE, must be a problem with Chrome or my settings. PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 03:33, 30 September 2012 (EST)

Works fine on my Chrome as well... Odd. Waahlis.png Waahlis 03:35, 30 September 2012 (EST)

It also displays on Chrome fine in incognito mode; it might be AdBlock messing something up. PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 03:36, 30 September 2012 (EST)

On the new (old by now) classing template

Zelos, would it be possible for you to recalculate the meters on the classing template, into showing percentage instead? It is for my experimental classing template. Also there seems to be something wrong when displaying the declension/conjugation additions to the table. Your area of expertise, I figured. Waahlis.png Waahlis 05:05, 12 October 2012 (EST)

It does already do percentage technicly Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 06:06, 12 October 2012 (EST)

I got that too, actually... I meant if you could make it display numbers instead of a bar? Waahlis.png Waahlis 06:10, 12 October 2012 (EST)

ah yes though that is more ugly on left/right one but if you mean completeness then it is as easy as pi to four decimals Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 06:18, 12 October 2012 (EST)

3.1416......? Couldn't you make a function that transforms the percentage into the text "left", "mix" or "right" then? Waahlis.png Waahlis 06:25, 12 October 2012 (EST)

yes Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 06:37, 12 October 2012 (EST)

Excellent! Could you make an experimental template page with the same nomenclature as the ones I already have? (User:Waahlis/Template:Waa[...]) Waahlis.png Waahlis 06:45, 12 October 2012 (EST)

As I said, your templates aren't feeling very well... Waahlis.png Waahlis 04:54, 13 October 2012 (EST)

I can't even see that you ahve used my templates there Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 06:02, 13 October 2012 (EST)

It doesn't seem to have worked... Now they don't form rows... :( Waahlis.png Waahlis 21:55, 14 October 2012 (EST)

Operation Factura

Dear administrator and friend, I hereby invite you to Operation Factura, where the Featured language contest shall be commenced and terminated by the end of October. In my view, there is only one matter of importance left - the voting time frame. Since you and MOB had a vivid discussion on it, I'd appreciate if it reached a conclusion. Sincerely, Waahlis.png Waahlis 01:50, 15 October 2012 (EST)

Vill du vara snäll och se min och MOB:s diskussion på hans diskussionssida? Kontrollera att vi förstått din inställning rätt! :D Waahlis.png Waahlis 02:04, 16 October 2012 (EST)

Voting and Coding

Hello, Zelos, sorry for interupting your day to day activities, but I want you to look at this code, the voting template draft.

Here is an overview of what it is supose to do: purpose.


File:CircleConlang.jpgCLtɔk ˈpeɪdʒ/ 05:01, 16 October 2012 (EST)

P.S. sorry for my bad spelling, I usually have spell check. :/ (I'm more of of a speaking person than writing)

whats the purpose for it? count votes? Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 05:36, 16 October 2012 (EST)

Well, You would probably write it like this

{{Voting|
Language's name:|
:User who wants to vote for the language|
:User 2 who wants to vote for the lanuage|
Language 2's name|
:User who wants to vote for language 2|
:User 2 who wants to vote for the lanuage 2|
etc.
}}

It would count them up for each language and put it like this:

Language's name: 2
Language 2's name: 2


File:CircleConlang.jpgCLtɔk ˈpeɪdʒ/ 05:48, 16 October 2012 (EST)

thats a highly ineffient method, could be done much simpler. If you want i'll fix it Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 06:21, 16 October 2012 (EST)

Fix it as in make it more effient? If so, yes, please fix it, otherwise, please tell me the more effient way. :)

Hi Zelos!

Do you think you could manage to fix this, because I am quite sure that's not how it's supposed to look. :/ Waahlis.png Waahlis 00:57, 21 October 2012 (EST)

whats suppsoed to be on it? Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 01:24, 21 October 2012 (EST)

The "Contemporary Caucasus > 1,000 Mkhedruli Attno-Themian languages" bit is supposed to be a few rows, and not jammed up in the header... :/ Waahlis.png Waahlis 04:33, 21 October 2012 (EST)

I'll see what I can do Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 15:28, 21 October 2012 (EST)

Tadaa!

I am the import God! (After you, of course :p ) However, if you could make the Navs collapsible, it'd be appreciated! Waahlis.png Waahlis 06:10, 22 October 2012 (EST)

like this? Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 06:49, 22 October 2012 (EST)

No, I meant making the Navframe collapsed - it requires fiddling with the MediaWiki, which I don't know enough about... :/ --Waahlis.png Waahlis 06:51, 22 October 2012 (EST)

common.css? Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 06:51, 22 October 2012 (EST)

Both that and the .js I believe. We need to specify for the Navframe to be collapsible as well, I think. --Waahlis.png Waahlis 06:53, 22 October 2012 (EST)

thats the part of the coding I am least familiar with Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 06:55, 22 October 2012 (EST)

Yay... Well, we'll have to survive then... :/ Thanks nevertheless! Waahlis.png Waahlis 06:57, 22 October 2012 (EST)

I'll fix it once I get around to it, I am usually rather well suited in understanding it. The issue is usually my interest must be triggered and when that happens, I do not know. Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 07:10, 22 October 2012 (EST)
