Is that you, Mark? - Haukur Þorgeirsson

Mark, Mark who? He he, only kidding. Yes it is me.

I mainly created this account to move a page to a correct title, but because I'm a new member it wouldn't let me. Now that I have returned after a week, I can't for the life of me remember the page name. It probably still wouldn't let me move the page now, because of my _{very low} edit count. It now lets me move pages, so edit count is unimportant, very cool. Marco79 15:06, 25 November 2005 (UTC) 15:20, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Okay, sorry. Your vote is fine then since you've been around for a while. See you around. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 15:10, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] IPA chart for English

First of all, please see WP:3RR.

I accept that you have a point, although I also think there's a strong case for having the various transcriptions there. One way forward might be to create a page with a table with the alternative transcriptions, with a clear link from the chart page there.

[edit] Union Flag

Please see my comments at Talk:Union Flag. I am a bit bothered that you reverted the move before participating in the discussion, without responding to the reasons provided, and based on misconceptions about Wikipedia procedure. I wonder what makes you sure that your interpretation of policy is correct - have you got much experience working with naming conventions here? -GTBacchus^(talk) 05:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

see Talk:Union Flag for reply. – Marco79 13:42, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vowel tables

I seem to be stepping on your toes a bit. To clarify my edits, there's no reason to merge the cells for two different dialects if there are two different example words, according to Australian English phonology and New Zealand English the vowel in nurse is [ɘ] for AUE and [ɵ] for NZE, and there's no writing system for paici so there's no reason to unmerge the cells. For more information, see the guidelines for these tables here. Ƶ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]} 07:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

No, I know where you're coming from but you're not following the table format.

1. In this edit you argue that it's perfectly all right to represent [ɘ] as [ɜ̝] but looking at the link you provided, that vowel is so high that it's in the close-mid space and so is better represented in the central close-mid page.
2. In this edit you summarize it by saying that they have the same vowel for "car and cart" but the AuE example is a different word than the NZE example. If they truly are the same and the same word can be illustrative for both dialects (which, I believe cart would do in this case) then pick a word and use it once.
3. Likewise, in this edit you revert it because you don't know what you're doing wrong. It's one example per dialect/language and if there's a word for both that applies... well you get the point.

I'm taking this way too seriously. Take a look at the table guidelines and if you figure this all out then more power to you. If not, there's always tomorrow. Ƶ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]} 08:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't really think it's original research. If you read AUE phonology you'll see that the symbol in question is so new that any literature older than ten years wouldn't use the <ɘ>. The page itself says that this is more convention than accuracy. The IPA changes and one can use common sense to figure out what the phonetic character of a sound is without a source having to explicitely use that symbol. One of the sources for Russian phonology for example is so old that palatalization is indicated with an underhook rather than a superscript j. As such, arguing that the backwards epsilon, by being used commonly by linguists, is more accurate or better actually goes against some previous agreements on the vowel pages. Take a look at Talk:Near-open central vowel, Talk:Open-mid back unrounded vowel.

But this is pretty much the last time I'll be on Wikipedia for the next month so I'll see if I can remember to get back on this when I get back. Ƶ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]} 13:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
