KS[edit]
Thanks for starting a list of changes. I have made corrections for precision. -- Evertype·✆ 12:54, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
- As far as 2013 is concerned... there is a list of faults. In KS we have implemented remedies to those faults. One might implement other remedies. But there must be remedies. And if there aren't remedies... -- Evertype·✆ 18:43, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
KK[edit]
A recent edit of yours deleted lots of content from the KK article. Was that intentional? -- Evertype·✆ 18:49, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I removed it (and similar information from the SWF article) in accordance with the guidelines on Wikipedia's WP:NOT page, specifically the parts about not being a directory, a complete exposition of all possible details, a manual/textbook, and an indiscriminate collection of information. --Kernoweger (talk) 21:47, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- I would like the phonology of KS to appear on the KS page. It will be endlessly controversial (will it not?) to have it all only on the main Cornish language page. Lots of languages and orthography articles have phonetic detail detailed. Of course the problem with KK is that it posits a phonology which isn't used, but I am not sure that a discussion of its putative phonology is not appropriate for the article. (With criticism.) -- Evertype·✆ 22:10, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- How about an article on Cornish phonology, like other languages? Since the phonology is largely universal, the article can be a cross-orthography article instead of essentially duplicating the same information across multiple articles. If you think a discussion of KK's phonology would be notable on the KK page, then I think it would be probably better as prose. WP:NOT would seem to allow inclusion of notable discussion about the subject, rather than just describing it. --Kernoweger (talk) 22:19, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- In the short term I think that might be difficult. That's why it seems to me reasonable to develop the material on the pages of the different phonologies. But I think your edit to KK should be reverted at least for the time being. -- Evertype·✆ 07:21, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- How is it difficult? Cornish phonology is pretty much the same for everyone, apart from KK's unused phonology. --Kernoweger (talk) 14:18, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- KK posits a phonology which is not used, but which they either claim is used or claim should be used. A description of the claimed phonology can't exist anywhere but the KK page, but your major deletion prevents a full discussion, doesn't it? -- Evertype·✆ 01:04, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, I thought you meant it would be difficult to create a Cornish phonology article. If you want to put KK's phonology on the KK article, then go ahead, but since 99.9% of Cornish speakers use the same phonology there shouldn't be any problem creating a Cornish phonology article that is descriptive. --Kernoweger (talk) 20:01, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
- Actually I think you should undo your deletion of that material from the KK article. -- Evertype·✆ 21:29, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
- Erm... I know? --Kernoweger (talk) 01:17, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
