Mohawk language Wikipedia is at Incubator

Hello Oosting, we now have a Mohawk language Wikipedia at Incubator. It's wide open for you to help get it up and running. If you can get your neighbors interested, we could make a wonderful encyclopedia available for the kids.

A question for you: is this dictionary in the current orthography?

Inuit-Metis

Hi Oosking, I have reverted your move of Inuit-Metis, and replied as to why on the talk page Talk:Inuit-Metis. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 20:46, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

NunatuKavut people

Oosting, I've again reverted your moves, but I have gone ahead and adopted your terminology (NunatuKavut people) rather than the previous (Inuit-Metis) in light of the sources you provided. I'm trying not to get into an edit war with you, but help you out.

I'm glad you did that that work digging up these sources. I defer to your new sources on the ancestry question. Please don't think that I have an "agenda" trying to "prove" that NunatuKavut "just Metis" and "not really Inuit". I am not interested in doing any such thing. I hope that likewise your main goal is simply spreading information, and not trying to "prove" any case.

Here's where I'm having an issue. I don't understand is why insetead of adding your sources to my new article (on the people) you tried to delete it by the backdoor by merging back to the original article (on the territory). Why are you against having this seperation. You wrote an article about a proposed territory that doesn't even exist in law. I'm trying to broaden the scope to the whole history and culture of the people. I can tell by your quick access to sources that you are clearly quite knowledgable on the topic. Help me on this!

And it's not that I'm picking on the NunatuKavut. All topics of this type are split this way on WP. See Irish people vs. Ireland, Ukrainian people vs. Ukraine, Innu people vs. Nitassinan. See also my comments on Talk:Pimicikamak for a related question. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 20:43, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/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 Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina 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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:47, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pecan truffle, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Castanea and Georgia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
