External links modified edit

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Bardi people. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Merge edit

I looked for, but didn't notice this, while in the meantime writing Baada. Anyway, all the information here is over at the other article, which I will develop on the basis of new sources. I suggest this be merged or deleted.Nishidani (talk) 15:41, 13 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Being WP:BOLD and doing it, as discussed on my talk page. Stephen! Coming... 11:08, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Nishidani: I've merged the article into the section Merged Text, but have not trimmed it further. Could you please check what's been brought in, delete duplicate text and move other information about as appropriate? (Don't forget to use Edit Summary ;-) ) Once you've done that, I'll see about asking at the Help Desk for an experienced Merge Editor to have a look to see if we've done this ok. Stephen! Coming... 11:20, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, Stephen. very good of you.Nishidani (talk) 11:40, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Nishidani: No worries, but there is still work to be done, I think. I have just gone through and corrected all the redirects (have a look at my recent contributions, but on a lot of those pages there are still references to Bardi in some way or another. I would recommend you going through those articles and checking that the correct terminology is used consistently. I would do it, but I know next to nothing about this topic, so I think it is up to you. Incidentally, I have posted a question on the help desk to check whether or not the merge was carried out ok. So don't be surprised if someone pops by and starts changing things about! Stephen! Coming... 16:50, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Well done, Stephen. I am in your debt. I've corrected several as I came across them, but I have another 450 articles to do, and can't allow myself the time, to attend to every detail. I think the redirects will help. I find about 10 errors to correct on every page, and each error, with research takes from 5 minutes to, today, two or three hours. I've made notes on all the articles listed here for example, to include lots of new matter into the text, but haven't had the time yet. Things will work out.Nishidani (talk) 17:35, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Not a problem; I'm here to help. As for making other changes, I can see it will take a while" I (and I am sure future readers of these articles) appreciate the effort you are putting into researching and correcting. Stephen! Coming... 11:18, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Page move? edit

Requested move 8 November 2019 edit

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Page moved. (non-admin closure) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:17, 12 November 2019 (UTC)Reply



BaadaBardi, or Bardi people – Having encountered a lot of references to the "Bardi" and "Bardi Jawa" people when needing to add a link from another page and finding this one, it seemed evident to me that the common spelling of these people is Bardi - so I started editing the article in preparation for a simple move. However have run into problems because of the Bardi DAB page and because of the previous "Bardi people" merge. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:26, 8 November 2019 (UTC) Tagging Nishidani (talk · contribs) and Stephen as you have previously been involved in this. Will come back to it later - no time right now - but it seems to me that Bardi is currently the commonly used term, by and for these people. Is there a good reason why the article shouldn't be Bardi? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:26, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Are you aware that in Australian usage 'bardi' is a homophone that conjures up images of a rather unattractive grub, Trictena atripalpis? That lay behind my reasoning in writing the stub (I still haven't got round to adding all the material I have collated from Worms (whose name unfortunately reminded me of the irony, two types of grub sounds murmuring in the subtextual music) about them). You are nonetheless correct and if a technical and shift this round to Bardi/Bardi people, I for one will have no objections.Nishidani (talk) 09:53, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Ha ha, no, I wasn't, Nishidani - another one for the DAB page! Did you mean this Worms? Thanks for your input. I'll request a technical move, as I think it does need to be untangled, and also a redirect from Bardi Jawa added and the terminology explained in both articles. The reason for suggesting "Bardi people" rather than just "Bardi" is because of the DAB page. I see that most of the articles about Indigenous peoples do not have "people" after them, with the odd exception (such as Arrernte), but I don't suppose it matters too much? Another alternative would be to move the DAB Bardi to Bardi (disambiguation)? I don't know which would be preferable in MOS terms. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:23, 9 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
I'll just add that one has to be very careful about these changes. The older transcriptions often conserve phonetic values ignored by contemporary usage. 'Dj' in Djaui is quite a different sound than the 'j' in Jawi, and probably while the Jawi themselves retain the 'dj' pronunciation while writing 'Jawi', no white reader will know that.Nishidani (talk) 10:21, 11 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
The moves, done. No one objects. The bot keeps insisting that a discussion takes place per the norm that bots are morons that think with the speed of light. Can it be turned off for this page. I hate useless tags, redink etc, blotting plain text.Nishidani (talk) 15:48, 11 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sorry Nishidani - I haven't done this often enough to remember the procedure. I got a bit bogged down in checking all of the links to the three moved pages yesterday and forgot to come back to this. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:17, 12 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Pronunciation edit

I meant to add above before closing it, yes I understand and it's a pity about the different sounds being disguised by the modern spellings, and perhaps it's useful to add a note about this in the Jawi language article? I think the rules are clear re naming the article though, about using the commonly used names (even if 99.9% of people reading the article won't know about the difference in pronunciation). I would think that this applies to other languages too, especially the traditionally spoken ones, when they are transcribed or translated into English versions. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:46, 12 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

I really don't worry about this either way. My observation is that (a) common names can refer to self-descriptors now (b) what reporters transcribe in newspaper articles (c) the standard term used in the uptodate anthropo-linguistic literature. It's correct that formally we should have a phonetic gloss on the words in line 1, but (I) you need a source for that, which is often difficult to find. There's no easy solution. Thanks for your work on these articles.Nishidani (talk) 09:18, 12 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
