Pinochet
editHi there. In a couple of recent edits [1], [2], you have made changes about the name Pinochet. All the references I have seen indicate that, while the name is originally from France, it has been nativized in Spanish and was pronounced with a Spanish-style pronunciation /pinotʃet/. Since you're from Chile, I respect your difference of opinion here, but
- it's bad form to change claims that are supported by references. If you have references that claim the opposite, then add them and let the user judge between the competing claims. If necessary, go to the talk page.
- you marked both changes as "minor". Minor changes are supposed to be for things like grammar, spelling or format fixes, not for substantive changes in articles.
Cheers. Grover cleveland (talk) 22:08, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
- I see some more "minor" changes that aren't minor: e.g. [3]. Here's the official guidelines on what is, and isn't, a minor edit: Help:Minor edit. Hope this helps. Grover cleveland (talk) 22:48, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Buxtehude
editHallo and thanks for helping people to pronounce the name Dieterich Buxtehude. But I confess that I probably know too little about IPA, the symbols given would not help me. I don't find the middle syllable of the first name and would expect the "t" after the x (ks) the same sound as in the middle of the first name, the last d (hude) the same as the first letter of the first name. Where would I find more info, please? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:26, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. The pronounciation is of course correct for Danish. But I understand that even though he may have been born in Denmark (nobody knows) he lived and worked in Germany for most of his adult life and is considered a German composer. His German name is Dieterich according to the latest studies (compare de-WP, article and long discussion). How about supplying both Danish and German IPA in this case? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:49, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Invitation to take part in a pilot study
editI am a Wikipedian, who is studying the phenomenon on Wikipedia. I need your help to conduct my research on about understanding "Motivation of Wikipedia contributors." I would like to invite you to a short survey. Please give me your valuable time, which estimates only 5 minutes. cooldenny (talk) 19:58, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
editHi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:04, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
