addition of pronunciation tag

[edit]

re this, it's easy enough to google "Gingolx pronunciation" and find it; I don't see an IPA but at least one of those results has a pronunciation audio file; there's various approximations in English non-IPA spellings; what I do know is the 'x' is 'ch' like in "loch". As with so many instances of editors cruising by an article and adding "go find this templates" (be it a pronunciation or an actual ref in need) there seems to be too much of a habit of people doing little more than templates asking other people to do things they can easily do themselves, if they weren't in a hurry to move onto another article to drop yet another template to "delegate" someone else to do what they couldn't be bothered to do themselves. This isn't an issue of WP:AGF about another editor's activity, but a comment on the whole scope and attitude of Wikipedia user-dom; why not improve the article yourself, and learn something in the process, instead of "patrolling" for missing refs/pronunciations/whatever. I don't have the time today myself, and am at the moment doing research on several other FN pages in need of expanding/citation...... but I'm constantly amazed at how easy it is to find what is asked for, and amazed at how few other regular editors actually go get it and put it in t he article themselves instead of expecting others to do it for them. And people wonder why I"m bitchy, sheesh....Skookum1 (talk) 23:29, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
