Hello.

As you see, in the sentence I created, I gave an example of how a ᅀ turns into a ㅈ. The example word of how a ᅀ turns into a ㅈ is in fact from the word 것ᄫᅡᅀᅵ〮 . This is according to Wiktionary and the attestation within the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447. In that book the word was attested as Middle Korean 것ᄫᅡᅀᅵ〮 (Yale: kèsWàzí). The intermediary Middle Korean form 거ᇫ워ᅀᅵ (Yale: kezwezi) is attested in the later fifteenth century. The first /z/ was regularly deleted sometime in the sixteenth century, while the second underwent an irregular fortition to /ts/, producing the Early Modern forms 거어지 (geo'eoji) and 거워지 (geowoji). I believe this is a good enough example of how a ᅀ turns into a ㅈ. But I'm not good at sourcing, so how would I go about adding this edit into the page? 奎章閣大提學兼弘文館大提學藝文館大提學知成均館事Blahhmosh (talk). 05:14, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Can't cite Wiktionary, also can't analyze changes on your own. You need to find some scholarly source that makes that claim. grapesurgeon (talk) 05:24, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

OK fine, but what about at least attestations of each word within actual historical texts? I see this being done for tons of Wikipedia pages for historical figures like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, etc. 奎章閣大提學兼弘文館大提學藝文館大提學知成均館事Blahhmosh (talk). 02:28, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yes allowed but primary sources we discourage in general. A few is probably ok grapesurgeon (talk) 02:36, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your reversion comment, I basically gathered that that was the intended meaning of the original wording, which you have restored, but that wording sounds dumb, frankly. My main intention was to change the text to something that makes better sense in good, written English. I recommend you try to change it again to something that says what you want it to say, but in better English. Maybe I'll tweak again after you do that. Tbh I think the way I worded it was perfectly good enough. It did not say, or imply, that he is well known in Korea, but the idea that his expertise is well regarded in the West is, I think, implicit in simply saying simply that he is regarded as an expert.

Don't directly insult others on Wikipedia. You sure you want to keep calling my writing dumb? grapesurgeon (talk) 03:20, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I think the way I worded it is fine, not "dumb". Reread your comment; dripping with avoidable condescension. Don't treat others like this. grapesurgeon (talk) 03:40, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Think this is ready? CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 02:49, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No, her notability is almost all from the band imo. grapesurgeon (talk) 03:32, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 17:25, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:1980 disestablishments in South Korea indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:34, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing the proposed article on Nevada Creek Dam. I don't understand your comment "sourcing doesn't make me confident". I would have thought the first two sources (Montana Dept of Natural Resources publication and the National Inventory of Dams) would be sufficient to establish credibility. Am I missing the point?

Nevada Creek, which the dam impounds, is a major tributary to the Blackfoot River (Montana), and has had millions of dollars spent on stream restoration to improve fish habitat and for endangered species protection. Should this article be absorbed into a new article on Nevada Creek? There are numerous external references to the Blackfoot River and related stream restoration projects. Should the article on the Blackfoot River be expanded to discuss its major tributaries, and reference an article on Nevada Creek, which then references the article on Nevada Creek Dam? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NotSambo (talk • contribs) 04:23, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, when creating new articles what we look for is proving notability, which is different from reliability. To prove notability, we typically look for at least 3 pieces of WP:SECONDARY coverage, often newspapers or academic articles. The sources in that draft are largely from the US government, in some sense WP:PRIMARY sources.

If you're unable to find new secondary sources, the dam article can indeed be merged into some other article about some natural feature. See WP:NBUILDING, which provides guidance on that (second bullet).

Please let me know if you have other questions grapesurgeon (talk) 05:02, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, hope you are doing well! You have reviewed my Draft:Sung Jin-woo and mentioned some formatting errors, but as far I am not able to figure out what you mean, if I have misinterpreted, let me know. PhantomVorteX (Talk) 10:52, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

My fault, I should have been clearer but was reviewing a bunch of drafts quickly at the time. I just fixed some of them for you. grapesurgeon (talk) 10:57, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, can you suggest me what are reliable source in fields of anime and manga I will try to find their article on my subject to establish notability. PhantomVorteX (Talk) 15:13, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Online reliable sources list here grapesurgeon (talk) 15:18, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for mentioning. I have some of sources through, feels like it will meet GNG now. PhantomVorteX (Talk) 10:33, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Have added some more independent sources of her information - not saying its complete just yet - but its building. Also - whats the treatment for sources that may be behind a paywall? - are they useable, or should news sites be 'free' and available ? Ytekcor (talk) 12:30, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

We prefer no paywall, but if you gotta use a paywall source that's ok. grapesurgeon (talk) 12:49, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
