One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few

A Grammar of Vai

Hello! The A Grammar of Vai article had existed but was redirected to Vai language, which is why the existing book cover image was deleted. I restored it after citing some book reviews examining the book in detail. I don't know which book cover image it was, but Im hoping to have it restored.

Sorry for the link break.

Sorry for breaking the link on Luxgen U7. Cooldudeseven7 (Discuss over a cup of tea?) 15:32, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, happens all the time with the several scripts we have that do not protect file names from being "corrected". In this case the file names on Commons are really unusual with those trailing spaces. Best, Sam Sailor 15:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
