List of common phrases in various languages
By the way... your writing, whether it be at e2 or wikipedia rules... :) -- [[User:Dragon Dave|Dragon Dave]] (The Cow @ [[everything2]]):

----
Are you like amazingly smart? U seem to know something about everything.

:That's my problem. I know a little bit about a lot of subjects, but I don't really know much in depth that's 1. within the scope of an encyclopedia and 2. not already covered in Wikipedia. --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

----
I'm curious as to where you got the information about the [[Atari Jaguar]]s cache issues. I know the Jaguar has a reputation for being a pain to program (much like the original PS) but I think the phrasing of your latest addition seems to imply it was a major factor in the Jaguars demise. Just curious. [[User:Alex|Alex]]

:Clarified, with a link to the /. article where I found it.  If programmers can't easily get what they want out of a machine after several tries, they may just delete the feature in frustration.  Besides, the last few [[Super NES]] games were as good as what was coming out on the Jag. --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

----
Hey man. Looks like you have the same problem with the table on your user page that I had in table in the [[Beryllium]] article (probably because I used your table as one of the examples I looked at to create the Beryllium table -- *grin). Don't know why this rendering error happened all of the sudden -- I think Jimbo has been playing around with the wiki software lately. Anyway, someone far better at HTML coding than me, already fixed the table I made, so you can take a look at what they did to fix yours. Cheers! --[[User:maveric149]]

:What they did was disallow nested tables. Fixed. --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

''The lack of backup exemption means that Nintendo can go after sites that carry ROM dumps copyright 1991 or later (Super NES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy)'' Should this now read 1992? [[User:Dragon Dave]], aka [[User:Dave McKee]]

:[[Mask work copyright]]: Fixed. Tell me if there are any others that need updating. --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

----
I made some edits to [[Mask work copyright]], but you really ought to rename it.  Mask work protection isn't copyright (see my edits) --Dave "Novalis" Turner (I don't think I have a login here).
  : fixed. --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

----
Damian, could you explain somewhere how you created the picture on [[Sierpinski triangle]]? This would be good from a [[GFDL]] perspective so that people can easily modify the work, and it would also be nice as an example for people to follow in creating graphics. [[user:AxelBoldt|AxelBoldt]]
:I used [[GIMP]] to draw one 6x6 pixel unit (three triangles); then I cut'n'pasted it; then I cut'n'pasted <em>that</em>, until it was as big as I wanted.  Should I write a short C program that reproduces this?  --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]
::Well, you don't have to, I was just interested. Isn't there also a way to write GIMP scripts? That would be a nice illustration to be added to our [[GIMP]] article as well. Another possibility would be a recursive C program using the GD library. [[user:AxelBoldt|AxelBoldt]]
::: [[Sierpinski triangle/Image credits]] --[[user:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]
:::: Added text-mode perl version at the bottom. --[[user:Novalis|Novalis]]

---

I think we need the Menger sponge. I have one on my website - www.fractal-landscapes.co.uk/graphics/pictures/menger_640.jpg , but
I think that you are probably a better person to write the article. - [[user:The Ostrich|The Ostrich]]

-----

Damian, please read the talk before deleting whole articles.

The two Green Party articles were up for a reason, and your redirect went in the wrong direction.  The newer complete article that contained the complete text of "Green Party" was in "Green Parties", and "green party" (generic) had yet to be defined.  

Now it is, sorry this wasn't done before, but please check the talk when you find something you think is a bug or major redundancy.

:Should "Check the Talk" be written in naming conventions?  Or should I just stay off Wikipedia for a few days?  Am I about to be banned?  Or am I reading too much into this?

Another example of this type of situation is the "Gaia theory" created by Lovelock which is different from the specific "Gaia Theory" of Lynn Margulis

:Would those be better as [[Lovelock Gaia theory]] vs. [[Margulis Gaia Theory]]?
::No.  Lovelock is associated with the (first) Gaia Hypothesis, Margulis with the (later and current) Gaia Theory, and the development of theory in general related to these, and the less scientific forms of theory around them both, is Gaia theory.  The entries as they stand are right.

capitals matter.

Thanks.

:For the first few days after the conversion to the PHP script, Wikipedia was case insensitive.  I wonder why it was switched back.
-----

Because case insensitive is wrong too e.g. "libertarian" and "Libertarian" are two different things.  What's needed is two distinct entries that appear in the user interface and indices as two distinct entries.

Sorry about the long line, I didn't realize it wouldn't wrap.

-----

Really.

Putting ''goat'' as a summary on [[anus]] is just begging for lots of hits. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Putting goatse.cx would have been a lot more informative.

(please note: this is tongue-in-cheek...)

[[user:Dragon Dave]]
-----
perhaps we need a "fun:" space in which hacked up definitions, i.e. "Devil's Dictionary" style, is encouraged, even required.

We could all have fun defining each other into existence...
----
Thanks for your help with changing the old "KQ" links.  :-)  [[user:Koyaanis Qatsi|Koyaanis Qatsi]]

Damian -- don't know if you saw my response on [[talk:Conrad Celtes]], but thought i would mention that I had responded.  Lifting from a PD source without attribution isn't a copyright infringement, but it can be plagiarism, especially when passed off as one's own work. [[user:JHK|JHK]]

[[Slovene language]] -- QUOTE Western proper nouns or toponyms are not translated in full, as they are in Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, such as Russian or Serbian./QUOTE -- Good guess, but sorry, look at the http://www.medijaklub.cg.yu/kultura/arhiva/11-00/7-11.htm for example of "Njutn".
Not only Cyrillic-script Serbian, but Croatian, Bosnian etc. So I changed the paragraph. -- [[user:Vassili Nikolaev]]

:oops. --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

Hello Damian Yerrick,

[[Britannica Public Domain]] has been pretty much left behind by [[Wikipedia:1911 Encyclopedia Britannica]] and [[1911 Encyclopedia Britannica]].  Could you take a look at those and see if you find problems?  [[User:Ortolan88|Ortolan88]] 13:38 Sep 2, 2002 (PDT)

:fixed, except for one problem: I feel hesitant to make a change until the ae vs. e problem settles out. --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]
----
Hey Damian, love your articles --
I'm curious if you know anything about the Portuguese/Japanese connection I brought up in the [[Talk:False cognate]].  You seem to be the "authority"...
:it's a loanword. --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]
----
Damian, are you interested in working on a [[Wikipedia:Guide for Everything2 noders]]? I managed to prompt an [[h2g2]] participant to put together [[Wikipedia:Guide for h2g2 Researchers]], and thought E2 noders might feel left out. :) If you're interested, some of your material at [[Everything2]] would be ideal in the guide. -- [[User:Stephen Gilbert|Stephen Gilbert]] 04:00 Feb 21, 2003 (UTC)
:[[Wikipedia:Guide for Everything2 noders|how do you like it?]] --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]
::Nice work! Now for a massive [[evangelism]] effort. :-) -- [[User:Stephen Gilbert|Stephen Gilbert]] 17:21 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)

Dude, if you think HyperCard bears any relation to the WWW, you must know basically zero about either. Geez, WWW has exactly _one_ feature in common with HyperCard, the use of the term "hyper".
:Pretty much anything in HC except for scripted painting (SVG is looking to change that in a way), is reimplemented in the Web. HC fields have become textareas in forms. Backgrounds have become CSS and server-side templates. Buttons in HC stacks could act as hyperlinks to other pages called "cards" in the stack; WWW does hyperlinks with anchor elements. Scripting has changed from proprietary HyperTalk to ECMA+DOM but retained much the same functionality. --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

I thought you might be interested in the opinion poll going on now at [[Talk:Clitoris]].  [[User:Mbecker|MB]] 18:07 9 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hi :) Could you clarify what FFPA stands for at [[Permutation]]? Thanks a lot :)[[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]] 07:01, 10 Sep 2003 (UTC)
*Don't worry, I'll reword. [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]] 06:55, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)
*Must have been a Roseism. Used an apparently more accepted term "cycle notation" instead. --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]]

----
Damian, I think you're right to have qualms about the IPs in [[BayTSP]].  We don't list IPs for any other company (I think) and our doing so here is both unencyclopedic and (as you astutely observe) could be considered incitement.  I'd vote in favour of removing 'em (although the rest of the article is fine). -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] 02:23, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)
----
Did you have any specific natural languages in mind when you wrote 
: Some languages, such as [[Toki Pona language|Toki Pona]], classify proper names as [[adjective]]s that modify a generic noun. 
(If we can't come up with another example, i'm inclined to think the whole sentence should be deleted.) --[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]] 00:53, 2004 Feb 15 (UTC)

Nice job on the images at [[Puyo Puyo]]. I thought you might like to know that, the way grid #9 in the chains section is set up, only a 4 chain will result. After the Cs clear, the rest of the fourth column from the left will drop, clearing the As and Bs at the same time as an 8 combo. To make a 5 chain, one of the Bs in the fifth column should be moved on top of the B in the fourth column. [[User:CHz|CHz]] 04:20, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
: Fixed, I think. --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]] 23:06, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)



==[[Audio timescale-pitch modification]]==

(''Following a single voice's fundamental is straightforward; put a note in [[user talk:Damian Yerrick|Damian's talk page]] if you want more information.'')

:Can you just add some info about it?  Perhaps linking to other articles to point the reader in the right direction?  And then take this note out.  It doesn't really apply when the content is copied to other sites, paper, etc. - [[User:Omegatron|Omegatron]] 16:11, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)

::Fixtus. --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]] 02:05, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Category_talk:Data_management|Data Management Wiki Committee]]===

Thank you for your contribution to one, or more, articles that are now organized under [[Data management]].

Because of your previous intrest, you are recieving an invitation to become a founding member of the [[Category_talk:Data_management|Data Management Wiki Committee]].

The members, of course, will form and solidify the purpose, rules, officers, etc. but my idea (to kick things off) is to establish a group of us who will take responsiblity to see that the ideas of [[Data management]] are promoted and well represented in Wikipedia articles.

If you are willing to join the committee, please go to [[Category_talk:Data_management]] and indicate your acceptance of this invitation by placing your three tilde characters in the list.

[[User:KeyStroke|KeyStroke]] 01:02, 2004 Sep 25 (UTC)

== Your GBA image ==

You seem to have got [[Talk:Game Boy Advance|a few]] [[Image talk:Gba.jpg|people]] rather curious with your [[:Image:Gba.jpg|picture of a Game Boy Advance showing a Wikipedia logo]]. Personally, I just assumed you'd [[Photoshop]]ped it (or rather [[GIMP]]ed it, going by other comments nearby) as a kind of joke; but others think maybe you really got a GBA displaying the logo. Now that I see that you're a CS graduate, and note that the GBA has a RS-232 compatible, bootstrappable, serial port, I'm starting to wonder if maybe you really did; so now I'm curious, too. Perhaps you could put a little explanatory note on the image description page, one way or the other... - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 00:25, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
: It's not a Photoshop trick; it's an actual GBA. I answered in [[Image talk:Gba.jpg]].

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike  (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public domain]] if they prefer.  The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles.  Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 1000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles.  Over 90% of people asked have agreed.  For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]].  The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".  If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too.  ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.  It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.  -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]]

==Main namespace cleanup==
Heya, I've moved [[Damian Yerrick/Contributions]]  to [[User:Damian Yerrick/old-Contributions]]. There's some edit history, so perhaps you want to keep it. Otherwise just delete it (or ask an admin to do so). [[User:Fvw|&#0xfeff;]]--[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|<SMALL><FONT COLOR="green">*</FONT></SMALL>]] 19:37, 2004 Dec 14 (UTC)

==GNAA==
I am a GNAA member, and have never heard that the name is an allusion to RIAA and MPAA. This may be true, but if so, it should be in the Trivia section, and only if a source can be found. --[[User:SPUI|SPUI]] ([[User talk:SPUI|talk]]) 22:24, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Fixed. --[[User:Damian Yerrick|Damian Yerrick]] 06:01, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Not sure about any official denial - I'm just a peon. You should probably still find a source for "some critics". --[[User:SPUI|SPUI]] ([[User talk:SPUI|talk]]) 07:22, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)When you are in a country whose language you do not understand it is possible to get along with a surprisingly short list of phrases, combined with pointing, miming, and writing down numbers on paper.  Here is such a list.

Please add to this list, either by adding a row for a language you know or by adding a column for a word or phrase that you think is one of the essentials for survival.  Please use the minimum number of words that would be understandable and put the pronunciation in slashes as shown (separate syllables with dashes and use English words that sound like the syllables if possible).

The order of the languages is as in [[Language families and languages]] (so that similar languages are close together)

<sup>1</sup>No word directly corresponds to the word please.  The concept of politeness in a request is express in various ways.

<sup>2</sup>''ten'' /ten/, ''ta'' /tuh/, ''to'' /toh/ [depends on word gender]

<sup>3</sup>or ''&eacute;sa'' /ay-sah/ [for a feminine object]

<sup>4</sup>This actually means "it is" and can only be used in an answer to a question with the verb "to be".  Languages like Irish, Welsh, and Chinese do not have words for "yes" or "no".  Instead you repeat the main verb of the question in your answer.

<sup>5</sup>This actually means "it is not.  See note 4 above.

<sup>6</sup> this is the feminine form. The Masculine form is 'hwnnw' HOO-noo.

<sup>7</sup> Greetings in Swahili are an incredibly complex affair and are a crucial aspect of Swahili culture; it is not uncommon for a conversation to last five minutes before it actually moves beyond saying "Hello". There is no generic word for "Hello" in the language, rather there are numerous options depending on the relative ages and/or race of the people involved, as well as singular and plural forms. A non-comprehensive list would include "hujambo" (reply "sijambo") for two people of similar age and race, "jambo" (reply "jambo") for between white and black people, "Shikamoo" (reply "Marahaba") for a young person to an elderly person, "Hodi" (reply "Karibu") when in the doorway of a house. There are additionally numerous informal greetings such as "Mambo", "Safi", and many more. Curiously, farewells are abrupt or even non-existent.

<sup>8</sup> This is ''good morning''; ''selamat siang'' is used around midday and in the early afternoon, ''selamat sore'' in the late afternoon, ''selamat malam'' after dark.

<sup>9</sup> The person leaving says ''selamat tinggal'', the person staying ''selamat jalan''.
