Hello, I'm Devopam. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to Talk:Oriya language. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. I will appreciate if you avoid direct attacks and not repeatedly try to bully your point of view , being a seasoned editor. Devopam (talk) 18:06, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What you said was blatantly false ("the language has always been called Odiya only"). It's not a personal attack to point out you're making false statements, and I made no personal comment about you whatsoever. — kwami (talk) 18:16, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid I won't go by what someone has put something on Internet to prove otherwise while ground reality is far from it. They call themselves Odia (more like Udia in phonetics) and I have got to respect that. Sad, could not understand how you would use strong words and still insist that make no personal comment but I leave it to you for good. For me this topic is buried , got better things to do in life Devopam (talk) 04:03, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are way past 3RR on that article, and not for the first time. Take a break. NOW. All Rows4 (talk) 04:21, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The edit you're referring to was restoring a cleanup tag because the claim fails verification. Edits like that don't count against 3RR. — kwami (talk) 04:23, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they do. There are 7 exemptions to 3RR, this is not one of them, Read Wikipedia:3RRNO. Try it once more and you'll be at the notice board, for the second time today. I'm serious. All Rows4 (talk) 04:26, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is an edit warrior at Valencian (with no activity at other articles), who insists on removing that it is a variety of Catalan from the first sentence, instead calling it "a language spoken in ..." and saying it is a "glossonym for the Catalan of the area" (whatever that is supposed to mean). He refuses to take it to the talk page and just keeps on reverting. What do you think of it? --JorisvS (talk) 19:01, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, they have "the language spoken in", not "a language", which in my idiolect means they're not claiming it's a distinct language. In some ways it seems to be an improvement. "Glossonym" is inappropriate jargon, though. I reverted; hopefully they can come up with a nice compromise on the talk page.

BTW, the edit-warrior at Modern Hebrew has now started exaggerating the population at Hebrew language as well, if you care to look. It took me a long time to find an actual figure for native speakers, from 2012, and she's replaced it with the "more recent" Ethnologue figure from 1998 that isn't even for native speakers, as well as adding a world-wide figure of 9M from a newspaper article (not a RS) that does not give their source. (They cite stats further down for other figures, but AFAICT not for the 9M.) — kwami (talk) 19:50, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It could be easily read like that it claims it's a distinct language (although it need not mean that). IMO, it is best to say it differently to avoid any such ambiguity.

I've also taken a look at the Hebrew issue. --JorisvS (talk) 09:30, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look at this. Visite fortuitement prolongée (talk) 19:49, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect the defs might have been taken from SIL. — kwami (talk) 19:54, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Visite fortuitement prolongée (talk) 21:39, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Kwami,

I wrote you some time ago about a common issue we had about user Mjbmr. Now that he's blocked, there's still some of his nuisance left such as here [1]. Are you waiting before reverting this or? Please let me know ;)

No, just wasn't online. Thanks. — kwami (talk) 05:08, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Talk:Internment of Japanese Americans/Archive 9. Since you had some involvement with the Talk:Internment of Japanese Americans/Archive 9 redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

As me and another user were puzzled by your reference in the infobox of German language: "L2 speaker: 28 million including the prestige variety of high franconian" I removed that statement from the article. Could you elaborate on what you meant with this? --37ophiuchi (talk) 16:57, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
