Tagalog

Hi Chris,

The infobox assertion which cites this source and this source in support is "Total speakers: First language: 24 million, Second language: more than 65 million". I was unable to verify that assertion from either of those two sources. Perhaps I missed something? -- Boracay Bill (talk) 23:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

(the following snippet was copied from my talk page 23:31, 12 January 2008 (UTC). I have this talk page on my watchlist at present, and will keep it there for a while. Let's do any further changes here, OK?

--begin snippet

I am going to discard the US Census link for now, but I am going to put 20M and 2000 census but the mother tongue statistics aren't available online. For the 53.7M figure I cited, I'll put the source I labeled above. Is this acceptable? --Chris S. (talk) 01:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

PS.. Btw, I thought you put the failed verification tag because there was no mention at all in the source. There is a mention, but just an inflated number that should be actually 12M speakers lower. --Chris S. (talk) 01:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I hope you see this here, Chris. I'll post on your talk page if I don't get a response, but bouncing back and forth between talk pages gives me a headache. IMO, a source cited in support of assertion X should support assertion X. Sources available online are better for me than paper sources (from Boracay I'm pretty much limited to online sources), but I don't have a problem assuming good faith if a publicly-available credible-sounding source not available to me is cited (a NBS publication, say, cited by title, publication date, publisher, and giving specifics of page number, table title, etc. where the data supporting the assertion is located). I'm not selectively nitpicking here— your addition of the 24M and 65M figures to the infobox caused the article to pop up on my watchlist; I saw supporting sources cited, checked them, and placed the tags when I couldn't verify the assertion from the cited supporting sources. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 02:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Source for Phil. etymologies

Hey Chris, Can you convert "Tracing your Philippine Ancestors written by Lee W. Vance" to a Template:Cite book format? We'll use it as a "Further Reading" or even a reference for List of Philippine provincial name etymologies. Once properly referenced, the article has a chance to become a featured list like List of U.S. state name etymologies.--Lenticel ^(talk) 13:26, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I happen to currently have this talk page on my watchlist, and saw this. Since I'm here, I did this.

{{Cite book |title=Tracing Your Philippine Ancestors |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=C-toAQAACAAJ |author=Lee W. Vance |coauthors=Violeta C. Canon |year=1980 |publisher=Stevenson's Genealogical Center |isbn=0960852808}}

-- Boracay Bill (talk) 00:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank's Bill, I'll add it to the article.--Lenticel ^(talk) 05:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, thanks, Bill. Sorry, Lenticel dumeretso ako sa kama nang umuwi ako (galing sa trabaho). hehe. --Chris S. (talk) 06:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Help with "unlapi"

Hi, we recently discussed the translation of taxonomy terms in tl wiki. However, we don't know how to translate "infra", "sub" or "micro" to Tagalog so we can use infraorder or subspecies etc. Perhaps you can help us in translating these terms.--Lenticel ^(talk) 12:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

This isn't really my domain, so I cannot help. Sorry. --Chris S. (talk) 03:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

It's okay. Guess we'll just have to be creative then--Lenticel ^(talk) 05:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

hi

Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Badlysmall.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Badlysmall.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. - AWeenieMan (talk) 01:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Lots of thanks

I have read your Salita blog about Tagalog verbs, and it has been very useful for me to understand archaic Tagalog conjugations found in Florante at Laura since I have been writing a wikibook about it here: b:tl:Florante at Laura. Thanks! Do you have any idea what mupo, ipamintakasi or ninitang means? -- Felipe Aira 11:50, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey! Thanks, again!

I found mupo in this sentence: Di mamakailang mupo ng panimdim sa puno ng manggang naraanan natin;. It looks like its used as a noun.

Ikaw na bulaklak niring dilidili, Selyang sagisag mo'y ang M.A.R. sa Birheng mag-ina'y ipamintakasi ang tapat mong lingkod na si F.B.

nagdaang panaho'y inaalaala, sa iyong larawa'y ninitang ginhawa

Replaceable fair use Image:Celine galipeau.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Celine galipeau.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs (talk) 13:44, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Pierce logo.gif

Thank you for uploading Image:Pierce logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 21:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello Washington-user!! What do you think of this category?
Either on a scale of 1-10 or with commentary.
Let me know through the "Special:EmailUser/" section. #TTiT# 12:58, 14 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by The-Traveller-in-Tacoma (talk • contribs)

Acabo de graduarme de la universidad, con BA en espanol con enfasis en la linguistica... Quisiera hacer una maestria u obtener mi doctorado en algo pero no se en que campo todavia. Por ahora estoy trabajando como traductor en una compania de software educacional pero quiero cambiar de trabajo, no me interesa tanto la traduccion, muchas veces los documentos que tengo que traducir son muy largos y bastante aburridos y siento como si estuviera atrapado en la cabeza del escritor original, obligado a re escribir el texto entero palabra por pinchi palabra. Pero el sueldo es bastante bueno, o sea que a lo mejor me quedo con este trabajo por un tiempo.

Que weno que sabes escribir chabacano, yo lo entiendo pero no se escribirlo muy bien. Has escuchado esta rolita: [1] es super padre, no?

File source problem with File:Katagalugan.png

Thank you for uploading File:Katagalugan.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:34, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

I tagged it as I assumed (I may be wrong) that you added only the green sections to an existing map - the intricacy of the main map does not suggest "home made". Thus the question was for the source of the original background map.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:08, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the info - I've added an image information box with the data to the image page. That ties up any loose ends.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 12:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
