Thank you for unblocking me on en:wikt. Actually I noticed that I was blocked just by chance, because I looked at my [user page]... as you may guess, usually I work on the Italian projects. Thanks again! --.mau. ✉ 07:38, 22 April 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by .mau. (talk • contribs)

Hello Angr! [ˈɔɹeɪndʒ] is correct or wrong? Fête Phung (talk) 21:08, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- It's wrong. I'd transcribe it [ˈɔɹɪndʒ] for General American. Other accents will transcribe the first vowel differently, but I don't think any accent has /eɪ/ in the second syllable. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 14:34, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Angr! [ˈɔɹəndʒ] is correct too? Fête Phung (talk) 22:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- Yes. A lot of accents don't distinguish between ɪ and ə in unstressed syllables. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 11:50, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

thank you (pronunciation)
Hello Mr. Angr! It's correct to pronounce [ˈθæŋkʰ | jʉː] with a break? Fête Phung (talk) 13:46, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- Well, it isn't exactly incorrect, but it would certainly be unusual. It's normally run together like a single word (and the [k] isn't aspirated anyway). —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:50, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Angr! I've heard [ˈwɪɫsɐ̃n] at that dictionary, this pronunciation is correct or wrong? Fête Phung (talk) 14:33, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- I guess as a very narrow phonetic transcription, but the phonemic transcription suitable for a dictionary or encyclopedia would be /ˈwɪlsən/. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 15:33, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- But I've heard /ˈwɪlsʌn/. Fête Phung (talk) 15:38, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- There's barely any difference between /ə/ and /ʌ/; we use the former in unstressed syllables and the latter in stressed syllables. Some dictionaries (e.g. Merriam-Webster) don't even bother with the distinction and use /ə/ in both stressed and unstressed syllables. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 17:30, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- But I've heard /ˈwɪlsʌn/. Fête Phung (talk) 15:38, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

- A computer-generated voice. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:47, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- In fact, have you heard [ˈwɪɫsɐ̃n]? Fête Phung (talk) 18:56, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- I would have transcribed it /ˈwɪlˌsʌn/, but the point is that isn't a human native speaker of English, so it can't be used as a reference point. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 19:59, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Happy Birthday
Cathach of St Columba
Hi,
I deleted the references to the "Old Gaelic" rubrics in Cathach as it is bullocks, I checked "them" today, to discover they are in Latin. See talk page of the corresponding Wiki article for more details. Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.51.73.120 (talk) 13:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Wikisource
Hi. Can you tell me what's happened to the index on cy-wiki-source please? Seems to have gone astray. There's an error message on the link. Thanks! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 19:12, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know, but it may have something to do with the fact that Welsh Wikisource apparently now has two namespaces called Indecs: as well as two namespaces called Tudalen:. I haven't been there in ages, so I don't know how that happened, nor do I know whom to report it to. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 19:58, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Morgan's Wonderland
Your controbution to Morgan's Wonderland lacks source material citation. Citations need to be add to the article or the material may be challenged and removed. Wikipedia's Verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space. If you are the contributor of the article pleas reed Wikipedia:Citing sources. Wikipedia takes citations violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Druid85 (talk) 02:10, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Druid85: This is my only contribution to the article in question. Basically all I did was change "a 25 acres accessible amusement park" to "a 25-acre accessible amusement park", a purely stylistic change that doesn't need source material citation. Please check people's contributions before scolding them for them. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:03, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Request to review Syntactic Structures
Hello, I have been working on the article on and off for a long time now. I would be happy if you took some time to read the article and gave me some feedback so that I can improve it in terms of content, language, tone, neutrality, precision, concision, etc. Thanks in advance. Zaheen (talk) 22:33, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Zaheen: Sorry, this is really beyond both my level of expertise and my time limitations at the moment. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:16, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi Angr.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
