Restoring warnings
Just a heads up - editors can remove warnings from their own talk pages per WP:BLANKING. --NeilN talk to me 16:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I thought it might be seen as an attempt to rewrite history and pretend it never happened. If another editor comes along to issue a warning, it would certainly be important that they can see a person has been warned before and why. CodeCat (talk) 16:47, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with you it'd be easier but those are the policies (I think we do that because editors shouldn't have to have "dark clouds" displaying on their talk pages forever). That's why I usually check the talk page history if I have concerns. --NeilN talk to me 16:58, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

The Civility Barnstar |
| Thanks for jumping in on the bazzillionth "Bose invented the Higgs boson" comment. At least this one did the right thing in coming to the talk page first. Woz2 (talk) 00:27, 7 July 2012 (UTC) |
- Thank you! I've been watching boson and Satyendra Nath Bose as well, where similar edits have been made and reverted. CodeCat (talk) 00:36, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- I was coming here to give you a barnstar for the same edit but Woz2 beat me to it! Well done on that particularly good explanation! --NeilN talk to me 00:55, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Missing source
Hey, you added a reference to the Nasal infix article, using last name, year, and page ranges, as is appropriate when the rest or the information of the source is supplied in a bibliography, but there's no bibliography and the information isn't provided. Could you provide that information? (Partly I am interested since I don't quite understand how stand is supposed to have resulted from nasal infixation.) — Eru·tuon 02:13, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean. I just copied the citation from the other citations in the article.
- Ringe's book mentions that the root steh2- "to stand" was somehow extended to stād- or stāþ- in Germanic, and a nasal infix present sta-n-d- was then formed from that root. CodeCat (talk) 11:53, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
