New distribution of English map
@M.Bitton: at the map project has made a very nice replacement map for Template:English official language clickable map, here: User:M.Bitton/sandbox.
Question: what should our criteria for inclusion be? E.g. we don't link to the BIOT, but do link to South Georgia, which also has no permanent population. With a map that's labeled rather than having invisible clickable links, it's now more apparent where the inconsistencies are. Maybe add Languages of the Gambia, Tuvalu#Languages and Seychelles#Languages, but there's also Xmas Is., Cocos/Keeling, the US possessions in the Pacific, Pitcairn, etc. I don't want to repeatedly ask M.Bitton to revise the map, so could we maybe get some consensus here to present?

Kaitag language needs arbitration
Apologize if this is not the appropriate place for this, but I need some advice regarding Kaitag language. In short, the current version references Ethnologue page that was updated, and hence the Wiki article statements are inaccurate as of 2022. I've made my points on the article's discussion page, but the second editor doesn't seem to be willing to engage into a talk. Alkaitagi (talk) 14:41, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- I deleted the dated statements and also updated the population. — kwami (talk) 00:36, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Greater Toronto English needs expansion and improvement
I don't know if this is the right place to be putting this topic on here but, I need some help and advice on how this article can be improved and worked on, because as of right now this article barely has any in-depth topic information about the history, vocabularies and grammar. Also, Greater Toronto English has very strong similarities to Multicultural London English, regardless of having a different accent, few different slangs, etc. But overall this topic barely even gets mentioned on Google about its origin of history, and vocabularies, and I don't know how this wiki article is gonna get improved. So if anybody has any suggestions on what I can do or if y'all can help the article, I would appreciate it, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ninjamaster1099 (talk • contribs) 14:30, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
Example texts for languages (redirected from the Teahouse)
Hi everyone, earlier today I asked a question at the Teahouse here regarding whether there are any rules, policies, or guidelines regarding the selection of certain texts as examples of certain languages (e.g. Lord's Prayer, Article 1 of the UDHR). Cullen328 suggested that I ask here, so here I am :)
(I will admit, in hindsight, I didn't word the question at the Teahouse very well – my bad.)

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)
and turns it into something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Old Polish assessment and feedback request
Hello! I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask but I recently made some rather big changes to the article Old Polish. Of course it is far from complete compared to what I could still add with the sources I have, but it took me quite some time to work through all this and now I need a break esp. since I have some test at the university coming.
The phonology is probably the most complete section. In the spelling section there was another spelling reform proposal in 1513 but I think this makes it Middle Polish so I didn’t add it. The morphology is missing a lot. The nouns are the most complete but still missing some info, like some details on the development and reassignement of Proto-Slavic declension types, as well as leveling, esp. the consonantal stems of which most were leveled. Also there is info missing about some special types of masculine inflection. The verb morphology is summarized and that’s it. No info about the syntax at all. Also a part about dialects could be added.
I’d greatly appreciate any feedback, corrections and suggestions concerning my input into the article. One very obvious improvement would be adding the exact pages of the works I cite Oxford-style, shortened footnotes which I have plans to do. Also if you think that the quality of the article has improved enough to up the assessment to C I’d greatly appreciate that. Cheers! MichaelTheSlav (talk) 20:06, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
