Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Spino-Soar-Us was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I recommend you trying to improve Tungusic languages#Proto-Tungusic as there isn't enough here for a standalone article.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Proto-Tungusic language and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

@Spino-Soar-Us Indeed the coverage at Tungusic languages#Proto-Tungusic is very poor, partly because it relies on English-language sources when most of the relevant literature is in Russian. I was hoping that creating a stub article might attract attention from knowledgeable editors to start adding detail, but probably that isn't the way. Stockhausenfan (talk) 06:15, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree with you that creating a stub article would not help. I don't think personally that having Russian sources as I just translate the page and then read the article. I would recommend using the content of Tungusic languages as a template where you could add more to it after. You could also use the Japanese Wikipedia article that looks like its a pretty good article. If you need help, feel free to contact me again and please add the url to the books you are referencing or other ways to access the book online. Spino-Soar-Us (talk) 06:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't consider the pronunciation "dialectal" myself, at least to me, fully pronouncing the N there sounds like someone took that "pronounced as written" thing that people repeat a bit too seriously. There is, of course, still an underlying /n/ there, and I would have changed it to a phonemic transcription (with slashes instead of square brackets) but the template doesn't seem to allow that. -- Kapulakone (talk) 12:29, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kapulakone I think a lot of Finns would pronounce this as something like [køhniø̃j̃jærvi], with a nasal vowel. To me there's a significant difference between that and [køhniøjjærvi] with no trace of the N at all, which is of course a possible pronunciation but I don't think it would qualify as "Standard Finnish" if you follow what I'm saying. So I would personally go for the broad transcription of just leaving the [n] in there, with the understanding that it can be realized as a nasal vowel (something that should probably be detailed on the Finnish phonology page). But let me know what you think; it's not a major issue to me so I don't mind what is decided. Stockhausenfan (talk) 12:36, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Using a broad transcription would be the best option, and I didn't even consider nasalization at first. The article on Finnish phonology would indeed need some info on that. Personally I don't think I nasalize the [øj] there, but I would pronounce "minä lähdin" as something close to [minæˑlæhiĩ].

Of course this whole thing is very minor, I just sometimes think about little things a bit too much. -- Kapulakone (talk) 13:14, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your second edit on User:Otterballs3/sandbox. The G4 criterion only applies if it has been deleted by a deletion discussion, like at WP:MFD, not by a CSD. Techie3 (talk) 10:32, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Techie3 Hi, thanks for letting me know. I'd intended to draw attention to the fact that Otterballs3 recreated the page after they went to deletion review and didn't get their way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2025_July_21#21_July_2025

What would you suggest? This is clearly disruptive, but it doesn't feel important enough for ANI. Stockhausenfan (talk) 10:42, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Inform the original deleting admin, Explicit, and let him work it out. Techie3 (talk) 10:50, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, done! Stockhausenfan (talk) 10:58, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also WP:AN exists. Techie3 (talk) 10:53, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think you managed to PROD it during the few minutes that I was typing out the AfD rationale, and it unfortunately didn't warn me when I hit submit. We'll see whether it gets speedied or if the AfD plays out; either way, I appreciate the PROD! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:30, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted this edit that you made to said article. The standard translation of "imageboard" in Finnish is kuvafoorumi, not kuvalauta. The word lauta refers exclusively to the lumber product and does not cover any other meanings of the English word "board". 193.210.193.109 (talk) 07:59, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@193.210.193.109 Hi, this makes sense but there are other words such as "šakkilauta", "lumilauta" which translated to English become "chessboard", "snowboard" respectively. Since image board is already an established term in English, it makes more sense to me that the intended translation here would be "board" by analogy of these other terms. Stockhausenfan (talk) 08:07, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point, actually. Maybe both translations could be included? My own (admittedly anecdotal) experience is that some Finnish imageboards have leaned on the "plank" meaning for humorous purposes. 193.210.193.109 (talk) 08:30, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that seems like a good idea! Stockhausenfan (talk) 11:31, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Stockhausenfan, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Confidentialtea/sandbox, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not a blatant misuse of Wikipedia as a webhost. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 11:56, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Re your question on if that was the right place - short answer - no, technically it might have been one of the worst places to ask for RevDel as it's a very visible forum.

The fastest and most quiet space is WP:IRC - specifically #wikipedia-en-revdel ^connect channel, where you can get an admin to take a look without it being more publicly seen. WP:REVDELREQUEST has some other options, such as pinging an Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests.

Hope this helps, happy editing and thanks for helping keep Wikipedia clear of disruptive edits. :) Raladic (talk) 19:04, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response, yes very helpful! :) Stockhausenfan (talk) 19:05, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Stockhausenfan. This message concerns the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Proto-Tungusic language".

Drafts that go unedited for six months are eligible for deletion, in accordance with our draftspace policy, and this one has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply , and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

Hello, Stockhausenfan. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! Cabayi (talk) 12:31, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the Suppression requests. You would have found all of the edits if you had TAIV. I've granted you access for a month. If you find it useful and want it permanently, let me know, or make a request and it can be extended. Regards, Cabayi (talk) 12:31, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, much appreciated :) Stockhausenfan (talk) 01:32, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
