Whatcha think for a starter? [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 17:21, 24 May 2013 (CEST)
I'd consider two points; Maybe expand the range of the article to include definite as well, since there are strong parallels and a conlang could hypothetically work with some inbetween or by blending some of the distinction between definite and indefinite for more obscure cases if they attach context or a grammatic rule. Which, although it would be more research, it might be worth our time to create a chart of languages to show how these distinctions can be blended and which are often left distinct.
Possibly if there are notable examples of indefinite or definite articles also being used for different things in some of these example languages, then we might also include a link to that detangling in the footnotes.
The latter is pretty ambitious but could be considered a long term goal and something we encourage people to leave in the footnotes.

I agree we should include more, I just got the indefinate first cause its fresh in my mind. There is a differens between indefinate in this case and indefinate articles XD
Indefinate article simply means "not definate"/"not known to the speaker" while indefinate in the article means "An unspecific entity"
But I agree it needs to be expanded. [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 19:13, 24 May 2013 (CEST)
I see, do we need to focus on that though? I'm thinking we'll want to hone in on pretty fundamental aspects of language; cases/adpositions, articles, auxiliary verbs (though that would be more origins/meanings of auxiliary verbs in other languages) which it is easy to fall back on English or another European language for. Other things are important but could be covered by suggesting people check out wiktionary when translating and consider carefully how many of the subdefinitions they want to include with their words.

I think we can include everything as time progresses, the more we help the better :) But thats for time [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 03:08, 25 May 2013 (CEST)
==Congratulations!==
Congratulations! You language [[Fén Ghír]] was voted featured! A truly wonderful language!
Please put the <nowiki>{{Template:Medal/featured|language=Fén Ghír}}</nowiki> on your user page to show of your achievement!
Sincerely, [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  09:03, 30 May 2013 (CEST)
Thanks! I'm a bit disappointed I didn't run up against some of the admins, Attian really should have been nominated at least. So I feel a little wierd about how it landslided towards me, I expected I'd get it maybe on the third or fourth go after I had done some more work on it.
Eitherway, the badge up now and I am pretty happy about it.
-Cheers, [[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 17:45, 30 May 2013 (CEST)
No, reason to thank me, after all I abstained from voting! And don't say that, I really need to brush that language off when the summer comes. Well, to be honest, your language was by far the most documented one, and the voting participation wasn't what we expected. For a first-timer, I Think it turned out pretty well, though!
Congrats, again! [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  20:27, 30 May 2013 (CEST)
I meant thank you for the message of congraduations! I'm still sort of surprised how well I did all the same. I am curious though; you said you wanted to vote for both Fén Ghír and another one but you didn't say whether the other was Aarlaansk or Kihā́mmic. I feel like PMoB's absense would make his victory sort of a hollow one but it's definitely a strong and well thought out language while Aarlansk is interesting and would have had my vote it if wouldn't have been a vote against myself.
I think the deadline and announcement helped bring people out, maybe next time we should keep up the banner during the whole election period [barring more important announcements]. Otherwise, it wasn't bad for a first go. It might have helped if admins chipped two and maybe if we could vote for multiple languages? To avoid people abstaining due to an inability to pick one?
Oh, and a side note, you notice the Fén main page update? It's a bit of a cheap joke but humour seemed the best way to avoid getting too self referential.
-Cheers, [[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 23:16, 30 May 2013 (CEST)
Good! I didn't? Oh, well, I meant for it to say Aarlaansk. Well, yes, but we couldn't take Kihā́mmic of the list because of his absence, the procedure is possible without the author. I for one was sure you'd win.
Well, voting on more than one language probably isn't the best solution. We shall be more involved next time though, and get it started earlier!
Oh, yeah, you mean featuring English? Yes, I noticed, I liked it a lot! Normally we want the translated main pages to be mirror pages, but since yours is featured, we'll make an exception. On another note, would you like to write a small description of the language to put on the main page, including the translation banner? Leave it at my wall and I'll add it there!

Hey, Faux, I've seen your language has won :) Congratulation even from me! It's a great "Celtic" idea!!! XD :)  [[File:Llyn.png|35px|link=User:Llyn]] '''[[User talk:Llyn|<span style="color: Green;">Llyn</span>]]'''  14:50, 17 June 2013 (CET)
Hey, Llyn, thanks for the message. I had a great time making it and messing around with things, so it's nice to see all that goofing off rewarded. Sorry for the delayed response! I finally get featured and I'm not around to enjoy it, but I do check here [I saw this a week ago but I wasn't able to reply due to busyness followed by a vacation with friends, but if any of you guys want to leave a message here, I'll see it within 48 hours [and make an effort to acknowledge it in the future]. It's kind of been a busy month so I'm feeling the drain both in terms of creativity and time but once things clear up, I'll be back. Once I am, I'll give another peak and Aarlaansk & Brytho-Hellenic.
-Thanks again, [[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 04:17, 2 July 2013 (CEST)
== Your spreadsheet ==
Were you the one who used Google Drive to store your spreadsheet and Chrys was the one who used dropbox? Or do I have that the other way around? If so, do you prefer editing directly on the Drive, or do you edit it on your computer and then upload the new version to the Drive? Also could you send me the link to it, I'd like to see how it's organized! :) --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 03:35, 21 July 2013 (CEST)
On Google Drive you directly edit it on the web, and it's saved automatically. :) [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  12:34, 21 July 2013 (CEST)
Waahlis has it right. I use Google Drive and I believe Chrys mentioned using dropbox; I usually edit directly online since it prevents redundant copy from kicking around on my computer [which used to be a huge problem for me]. [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgkXyjEqNVNVdFdGcC12UVR0UGVsY3VzR2JwWlFZQ0E#gid=0%5D%5D Here's the link to the word list]. There's a few other notes I should probably put up but I'll leave it at this for now.

Hi there! Is everything okay? I just wanted to tell you that I'm continuing my Brytho-Hellenic: I've finally begun the verb section :) I would like it so much if you glanced at it and told me what you think of it :)
