Translation

Hello! Strange request here, but an article about me and my Wikipedia work has been promoted to Good article status at English Wikipedia and nominated for similar status at Spanish Wikipedia. I'm curious if you have any interest in translating the entry for other Wikipedia projects?

Figured I'd ask since your profile suggests you do translation work. Either way, happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:49, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

@Another Believer: hi there! Sure, I’ll gladly do some translation work when I get a spare moment for it. :) 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 16:56, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Like Wow, thanks so much! I appreciate your willingness to help. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:31, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi again! I'm curious if you might have time to revisit this request for Italian Wikipedia and/or Lombard Wikipedia. There's certainly no rush here, just wanted to ask again before this section is archived. Thanks again and take care for now! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:03, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Yep! I definitely did not forget about it, I’ve just been too busy for massive work like translation. But I will as soon as I can, I promise! 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 19:46, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

@Another Believer: it took me a few months, but I finally managed to translate the article to itwiki. Hope I did I good job! 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 13:16, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Wow, thank you so much, I will take a look later today. Much appreciated, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:24, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

@Another Believer: apparently all this served to nothing; an admin has already nominated it for deletion. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 13:26, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry to see (and hope your time wasn't wasted), but perhaps the entry will be kept. Interesting how an entry can be Good at some Wikipedia projects and deleted at others. We shall see what happens, but thanks again for trying. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:28, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Don’t worry, after all it actually only took me a few hours; but in all honesty I was a bit worried this would happen, having past experience with the different criteria used in the two wikis. As you said, we shall see. All the best! 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 13:34, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

WP:BRD

I have reverted your repeated introduction of the "Respell" gadget into Isengard to the status quo ante. Per policy, if you have been reverted, you either accept the reversion, or start a discussion. You should never try to force something that has been reverted into an article, it is not acceptable, specially from an experienced editor. Many thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:41, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

@Chiswick Chap: I am aware and I’m sorry. Considering your argument for the revert I just thought making my point more clear in my following edit summary would be enough. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 16:48, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

"Lombardéa"

I find this spelling weird, because the stressed vowel is in an open syllable, don't you? In this way every single Latin I would come to /e/... maybe it's because it creates a diphthong with ending /a/? --Stévan (talk) 21:28, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

@Stévan: you may not be wrong. I have seen it being used consistently on the Lombard Wikipedia and checking more thoroughly it does seem to be a variant; not sure what we should ascribe it to though. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 21:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

@IvanScrooge98, unfortunately I got a lot of bad experience with all these transcriptions, and that's why I'm so boring in asking for sources.

For example, on it.wiki there was a period of fascination for laghée dialect (obviously because of Van De Sfroos), during which the mood was to change every single i in e, every u in o, and every ü in ö, without proper criteria, just to make it sound more laghée and different.

But reality is that there's no literature about this dialect, and existing literature says that these features are not so systematic and are limited to a very specific area of the Lake, while the rest tends simply to agree with comasco, lecchese or valtellinese; so I got a long working for cleaning up all these invented contents. Stévan (talk) 11:36, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

@Stévan: I completely understand and actually I am often just lazy when it comes to sourcing, my fault.

(Oh and by the way, regarding Western IPA transcriptions, I have been a bit busy in the past couple months but in a week or two I think I should get enough time to adjust the whole thing as we agreed.) Cheers! 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 11:47, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

@IvanScrooge98, BTW: at the time of that talk I got something to send you about distinctivity of [h] and [s] in some Eastern varieties... I found you on TLG but forgot to send it, and now I can't find you anymore.

Should I search better or did you quit? Stévan (talk) 18:19, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

@Stévan: hi there! Not sure what you refer to by TLG, do you mean Telegram? Because I’ve never been there to begin with. Btw sorry again for taking so long to adjust the whole IPA thing; too many things going on. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 18:25, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

@IvanScrooge98 Yes, I thought it was that.... you got such as the same nickname, or similar.

No problem with IPA, it's not an urgency. Stévan (talk) 20:18, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

@Stévan: uhm, it worries me that there was (is?) someone with the same nickname elsewhere, since I had trouble with a stalker earlier on. Hope that’s nothing to do with this. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 21:45, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

@IvanScrooge98 But consider I might even be wrong (that was months ago)... or maybe I just saw it somewhere else. Stévan (talk) 14:41, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

@IvanScrooge98 Anyway, this is the part of Sanga's Dialettologia lombarda, that I mentioned but couldn't recall exactly at that time, in which he tells about a couple cases of distincitivity between [s] and [h]: https://ibb.co/T2H7d5F. Stévan (talk) 14:56, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

@Stévan: that’s interesting – I referenced parts of this very work for my graduation thesis – but this particular case may be a bit too specific to be relevant enough for Help:IPA/Lombard, if this was your idea. Great input though! Actually I think we could and should use Sanga’s helpful phonological work to expand the relative sections at Eastern Lombard, Western Lombard and Lombard language (the latter two definitely need improvement). 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 15:17, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

@IvanScrooge98 It's totally irrelevant... I'm linking it just because you asked about what and where it was. Stévan (talk) 15:35, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Italian IPA request

Hello, You recently provided Italian IPA for the article I created, Bruno Fanciullacci. Would you please provide here the IPA of the names "Tosca Bucarelli Martini" and "Elio Chianesi"?

Festucalex: talk • contribs 17:46, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

@Festucalex: hi there! The names are pronounced [ˈtoska bukaˈrɛlli marˈtiːni, ˈtɔs-] and Italian pronunciation: [ˈɛːljo kjaˈneːzi, -eːsi]. Keep up the good work! 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 11:16, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Ferdinand Magellan and Vitus Bering

Hi. Regarding [1], there is no lenition after nasal vowels in Portuguese. The correct European Portuguese transcription of Fernão de Magalhães is [fɨɾˈnɐ̃w dɨ mɐɣɐˈʎɐ̃jʃ]. Imagine if the Spanish name were Hernán de Magallanes (which is not far-fetched; Hernán is etymologically related to Fernando): the final /n/ would have the same effect on the initial /d/ of de, blocking lenition: [eɾˈnan de maɣaˈʎanes].

Regarding [2], there is no ⟨ɪ⟩ in Help:IPA/Danish. The syllabic vowels in Bering are the same: [ˈpe̝(ː)ɐ̯e̝ŋ]. [ɪ] is the usual pronunciation of the underlying /jə/ - see Danish phonology#Schwa-assimilation for more information. Sol505000 (talk) 03:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

@Sol505000: my bad, made the edits too lightheartedly.

Doing it right away! And don’t even mention it :) 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 07:47, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Egyptian Arabic pronunciation

Hi. Please, notice that your edit in Koshari introduced the wrong open vowel for an Egyptian Arabic word notated in IPA for the Egyptian Arabic pronunciation, not any other language. In the Egyptian Arabic phonology, the rules for the front versus the back open vowel is unexpected for non-natives and there is no rule that says all R's get the back variant. Many words can have either depending on the lexeme or only have one variant. It seems you've learned some Arabic, but that doesn't seem to be quite close to anything resembling Egyptian Arabic, if you thought the choice of the back vowel was correct. I was the one who created the pronunciation notation in the first place as a native speaker to explain to non-natives how it is properly pronounced in Egyptian Arabic. Thanks. --Esperfulmo (talk) 03:19, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Oh gosh. Thanks a lot!

Speedy tagging

You tagged Draft:Eurovision 2024 Possible Entries as WP:G2, and it was declined. You then re-tagged it, which is a violation of policy and disruptive. I reverted the tag. Don't do it again.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:52, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

2024 eurovision

Is this : https://escxtra.com/2023/06/13/only-three-swedish-cities-bid-to-host-eurovision-2024/ source reliable enough to say that Malmö bid on hosting esc 2024? Ropesman (talk) 15:57, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

@Ropesman: this is the one that had been used earlier in the article but it has been challenged since it sources an unofficial Twitter account that does not seem very accurate. SVT has not yet reported so I think we should just wait for more reliable sources.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://europazzia.com/le-scorse-edizioni/esc-turin-2022/calendario-esc-2022/esc-2022-selezioni-nazionali-processo-di-selezione/esc-2022-selezioni-nazionali-1a-semi-finale/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2024

Hey, mind explaining the recent revert of my edit? What in that edit made it necessarily worthy of being reverted? Is there some new consensus on national final tables, formats? Why delete the links to the participants in the semi-finals section? Agwjkl (talk) 17:24, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Oof I’m sorry, the automatic edit comparison made it look messy. I just wanted to keep the tables more consistent with each other through the various ESC 2024 articles I’m editing. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 17:31, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Silia Kapsis

Hello Thank you for taking the time to contribute to Silia's Wikipedia page, it's much appreciated. However you reverted my edit which you should not have done. I have edited it back to what it should be, so please do not change it again. Silia's full birth name is Vasiliki Silia Kapsis (this is on her birth certificate and this is the name she was baptised with). You also reverted my edit regarding Claremont College. (Silia was awarded the award at the Claremont College which is located in NSW Sydney Australia and not the Claremnont College in Tasmania). And once again, I do appreciate your time in contributing to Silia's page, but please make sure the facts are correct. Thank you for your understanding. Becca05 (talk) 05:46, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

I understand, but you need a citation to demonstrate that this is her full name. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 08:34, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

It is in the first citation https://eurovisionfun.com/en/2023/09/cyprus-silia-kapsis-will-represent-the-country-in-malmo-with-a-song-by-dimitris-kontopoulos/ - It states Vasiliki (Silia) Kapsis in the article.

I am her mother, please stop reverting my edit.

Thank you 1.141.146.225 (talk) 10:26, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Exactly. It’s in parentheses, which means it’s a nickname, not her second name. How am I supposed to just believe you are her mother? ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 10:36, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Silia, is in parenthesis because this is what they call her, but her actual birth name is Vasiliki Silia Kapsis. I know I gave birth to her :) I must say, I am so glad you are thorough and that you have contributed to Silia's Wiki page, I appreciate it and it makes me feel very comfortable that you are diligent in your work, bravo. Happy to show you somehow I am her mum, not sure how that would work, let me know? Pluto160168 (talk) 10:43, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

If it was meant to be the second name, I doubt they would put it in brackets. In any case, the only thing you can do is citing an independent source clearly stating that. Your identity and alleged personal relation to the subject is unfortunately meaningless here on Wikipedia. See WP:VERIFY. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 10:58, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Ok thank you, I didn't realise that by having Silia's name in brackets would be a problem. I actually provided her name to the reporter that way. It was put in brackets to show that this is the name that people call her and not her full birth name. In any case, thank you for letting me know.

Could I ask you another question since you are on top of things. How would I add Silia's photo on Wikipedia? Can you please advise? I would appreciate your knowledge. Thank you Pluto160168 (talk) 11:06, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

You’re welcome. Sorry for being a bit harsh, you actually seem goodwilled. You can upload a picture here on Wikipedia (at Wikipedia:File upload wizard) if it’s not free and someone owns rights to it; or, if the image is free or you own its rights and decide to make the file free to use, on the dedicated platform for free files Commons. Make sure to provide all the info required when uploading. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 11:17, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

It's ok, I totally understand. You are being cautious and I appreciate it. In any case, I'll see if I can get it fixed somehow.

Regarding the image- Thank you for replying, it's much appreciated!

Have a wonderful day :) Pluto160168 (talk) 11:23, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, have a great day too! ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 11:29, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

I found a source where for each song the writers' complete names are listed. I think it could work ;) ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 10:24, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you looking into this and updating the birth name. You are wonderful! Have a lovely day! Pluto160168 (talk) 13:27, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

No problem really! Let me know if you have any doubts for the file upload :) ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 13:37, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello again

I hope all is well. I have just added a citation (6) and I am unsure if I have added it correctly. Would you be so kind as to check it? I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Pluto160168 (talk) 04:15, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

 Done! ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 10:32, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! Pluto160168 (talk) 22:17, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

One last question, at the top of Silia Kapsis's Wiki page, there is a template message. If you think it should be removed, please feel free to do so. I'm not sure if it still should be there or not. Thank you so much Pluto160168 (talk) 02:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

I haven’t dared to remove it so far since I wasn’t the one who added it but I think you’re right, it looks like there’s enough refs now. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 09:27, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! If you think it is ok to remove it and you think there are enough refs, please do so. I don't think I can remove it because of the conflict of interest (as per the Wiki rules) Pluto160168 (talk) 09:34, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

You’re welcome! And thank you for all your kind words. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 09:36, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Wow! You did it already, absolutely amazing, thank you once again. Pluto160168 (talk) 09:40, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Eurovision Articles

I wrote this kind in ALL of the articles, why did you reverted it? Please return it back. 009988aaabbbccc (talk) 18:39, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I was going to get to you to explain. Some of the changes were originally made by User:Grk1011 at Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024; shortly after, I created the section in the other 2024 articles accordingly. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 18:44, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Every article that has been expanded to a higher rating (WP:GA for example) has the opening sentence describing where and when the contest took place. I find it odd to omit that. More recently, related to the edit Ivan noticed, I adjusted the typical second sentence that starts with "According to Eurovision rules"; honestly, it's just not necessary to say according to the rules. To me, it's sort of like well, obviously. Overall though, I think we need to pay attention to and address things that are habit as opposed to requirement. And @009988aaabbbccc: I'm sorry that you went through the effort of making those changes only for them to be reverted, but once again, this is the result of you doing mass edits without asking anyone if there would be a problem with it. I've mentioned that to you several times over the last few years and those warnings are still visible on your talk page. Grk1011 (talk) 19:39, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Aiko (Czech singer) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Aiko (Czech singer). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs reliable, independent sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, IvanScrooge98: Please note that this page was not moved to the draft space because of copyright violations. Rather, it was moved because all of the sources on the page are directly related to the subject. As noted in the message I provided, the page needs reliable, independent sources to establish notability. Please click the links to see which types of sources help establish notability for musicians according to Wikipedia's guidelines. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 18:49, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I only see one source among those that is particularly close to the subject – i.e. the one from her personal website, for which I’ll be looking for an independent one. The others are third party-sources. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 19:00, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Eurovisionfun

Hi, from looking at various ESC edit history pages I've noticed that you have often cited Eurovisionfun. I'm of the opinion that Eurovisionfun is generally not a reliable source for ESC news other than those related to Greece and Cyprus, and it also often engages with sensationalist reporting. If you can, I suggest citing more trustworthy sources, preferably the originating articles. Pdhadam (talk) 17:23, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I see your point. I often use it as a source for the simple reason it is often the quickest to report news, but I will try to cite more reputable websites when I can. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 17:25, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
