AIM name?

Hello, I'm Jordan; you remember me as the one who offered some controversial suggestions to the International Phonetic Alphabet for English and "cot-caught" merger articles. I was wondering if you had an AIM screen name so we could continue our linguistic conversations.

See Wikipedia:Instant Messaging Wikipedians. Also, please feel free to create an account. You can read about why that's a good idea at wikipedia:why create an account?. Nohat 05:13, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

USF seal

Thanks for fixing that picture for me! The seal was atop a building and I was at ground level; I'm afraid I didn't know how to fix it myself. Again, thank you. Mike H 08:18, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

Corrected perspective

Thanks for correcting the perspective on architectural images. I'm not the only one who appreciates it, though I might be the only one to tip you a note! --Wetman 09:23, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! It's kind of fun, although I wish I had higher-resolution photos to work with. If you can point me to other photos that need it, I'll be glad to oblige, eventually. Nohat 09:27, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia Logo

You actually made the Wikipedia logo?! That's so cool! Great Job! What program did you use to make it?

Syntactic saturation

Hi, Nohat! I understand from your profile that you are interested in linguistics. "Syntactic saturation" is a long-time article request that seems to be unfillable. I can't find anything useful about it on Google, otherwise I'd write a stub myself; I would greatly appreciate it if you or any of the other linguists on Wikipedia might be able to help. -- The Anome 10:50, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

California English

When I added the link to California English, the article existed! It doesn't anymore; it must have been speedily deleted. But why? It was actually a pretty good article, I thought. Do you have any idea what happened? --Angr 08:20, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Californian Accent. RickK 08:31, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

If underlined links are annoying you, you can click preferences at the top of the page, then click "Misc settings", and then uncheck the box marked "underline links". --Angr 19:07, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Typeface for the Arabic logo

Ahlan Nohat:

Elian referred me to you as I was enquiring about the name of the typeface used in creating the Arabic version of the logo. I originally wanted to create some banners and buttons, and now I'm interested in designing a leaflet and a high resolution version of the Arabic logo. Also, before I downloaded your high resolution Photoshop version, I had wondered if there is a vector format version of the globe.

I was also reading about the history of I must say that I prefer the current one to all the previous phases. --Alif 19:02, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I appreciate your reply.

I can see that the version currently in Wikipedia is different than the one :currently in use. Do you have any idea when did this happen or why?

Is the font file usable on Windows systems? Is it possible/legal for you to give me a copy of it?

Any other suggestions regarding this issue would be great.

And, regarding a scalable format, recently Adobe have incorporated 3D capabilities in Illustrator. I have no clue what/if it is useful for this case. --Alif 00:04, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Vowel sound samples

I noticed you uploaded sound samples for the vowel articles, but it appears that the sounds for Close-mid central unrounded vowel (Media:Vow-011a.wav) and Open-mid central rounded vowel (Media:Vow-019a.wav) are missing. Could you either upload these sounds or provide a link to where you got them? I need all the samples because I plan to add plots of their power spectral densities to the respective vowels articles (to see the different formants).

Swedish speakers

At RfC I listed:

• Talk:Rikssvenska, Talk:Swedish language, Talk:Swedish phonology, Talk:Voiceless dorso-palatal velar fricative, and most probably soon in more related articles, souring relations between contributors with conflicting attitudes and personalities (likely related, among other things, to the status of Finland-Swedish and the Mandatory Swedish education in Finland)

I guess this is a field where you can weight in as a moderating force.

Regards!

Dr Zen enforcement / stricken portions

Thanks for removing those - I was going to do so when putting that there, but must've forgotten to do so. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 00:50, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)

Sandbox

I saw you clean out the Sandbox... would you prefer the Sandbot to clean the sandbox more often or less often? -- AllyUnion (talk) 09:16, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Macedonian Wikipedia

I have seen that you have posted on some discussions on the macedonian wikipedia ( www.mk.wikipedia.org ) regarding the logo of the macedonian wikipedia. Are you somehow involved in the making of the national logos? Because there is a little mistake with our wikipedia logo (Vikipedija: Slobodnata Encikopedija - Википедија - Слободната Енциклопедија)... although it is gramatically correct, it is unusual to use the -ta article in macedonian(it has a somewhat a bulgarian spirit in when it's put in that way)... so could you please change the picture and replace it with Vikipedija: Slobodna Enciklopedija (Википедија: Слободна Енциклопедија)... without 'TA'... our logo should be exactly as the Serbian one... although our languages differ much. However if you're not in the logo business, could you please instruct me how it is possible to change it? :) thank you for reading.

Syllabification

Thanks for catching the misuse. You're right about that. Poor attempt at irony, I guess.

Nice SPUI diagram

Thanks for making the diagram - looks good. --SPUI (talk) 10:00, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
