{{blockquote|It is a mortifying circumstance, which greatly perplexes many a painstaking philosopher, that nature often refuses to second his most profound and elaborate efforts; so that often after having invented one of the most ingenious and natural theories imaginable, she will have the perverseness to act directly in the teeth of his system, and flatly contradict his most favorite positions. This is a manifest and unmerited grievance, since it throws the censure of the vulgar and unlearned entirely upon the philosopher; whereas the fault is not to be ascribed to his theory, which is unquestionably correct, but to the waywardness of Dame Nature, who, with the proverbial fickleness of her sex, is continually indulging in coquetries and caprices, and seems really to take pleasure in violating all philosophic rules, and jilting the most learned and indefatigable of her adorers. [...] The philosophers took this in very ill part, and it is thought they would never have pardoned the slight and affront which they conceived put upon them by the world had not a good-natured professor kindly officiated as a mediator between the parties, and effected a reconciliation. Finding the world would not accommodate itself to the theory, he wisely determined to accommodate the theory to the world.|Washington Irving, Knickerbocker's History of New York}}

Avok language

When I was adding sources to the Avok language article; I was considering just tagging and moving along. Though, going through page history, I found it was previously tagged, then you added information and removed the tag. I found it weird that you added a source but didn’t make it a footnote; it fooled me and I nearly retagged it. Could you explain your reasoning for this? Roast (talk) 06:53, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:it was incorrectly tagged as having no refs when it had two. i always delete tags like that. it also had a footnote at the time, generated b the info box, though those have since been disabled. — kwami (talk) 07:04, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Discussion for consensus at Akan language, Bono dialect and Central Tano

It seems almost over until you have suddenly started your unsupported edit again. As you know already, I forwarded the case to DRN which you bowed out because the sources were clear and the reasons known to you. The result was bold change to reflect the source. If you want to revert, discuss first at the articles talk page as suggested by the moderator, then we can take it from there.

:it said to follow Wikipedia:Be bold. that means you do not edit-war when reverted. — kwami (talk) 20:47, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

::Just like it was stated by the moderator, refer to the talk pages of the various articles for discussion. You do not need to revert my edits, that engages you in edit warring Bosomba Amosah (talk) 23:07, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

:::read the policy — kwami (talk) 04:11, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

::::You are rather not following those policies. Refer to the various articles talk pages for discussion as suggested by the moderator since you have reverted my edits.

Discussion about WP:DIALECT

There is an ongoing discussion about the future of the WP:DIALECT naming convention, that is, the naming of articles about dialects and language varieties. Since you are the [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pageinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Naming%20conventions%20%28languages%29 major contributor] to the page in terms of edits and added text and the editor of this specific convention, we invite you to join the discussion and provide your valuable feedback! – Aca (talk) 08:55, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

Parentheses in IPA

Hi, I noticed you added content to the IPA article, but didn't add a corresponding inline citation. Please add one at your earliest convenience. For reference, see Wikipedia's policy on verifiability.

Also, I'd like to remind you again to please write edit summaries. Even something short is better than nothing, like in this case, say, {{tq|+ inventory charts for parens}} (short for "Added content about inventory charts regarding parentheses").

Nevertheless, thanks for contributing to the knowledge base :) — W.andrea (talk) 22:59, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Reminder: Please use edit summaries. I see you edited the IPA article and I don't want to have to read each diff to know what you changed. Thank you. — W.andrea (talk) 15:39, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Instruction to click "disable"

In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States&diff=prev&oldid=1245460787] you wrote: For an expanded static flat table, click "disable" at top left. You later changed the wording [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States&diff=prev&oldid=1245610485] which is still at Historical rankings of presidents of the United States#Scholar survey summary. I see no "disable" in any of the tested circumstances. Do you still see it? Is it also there if you log out? Does "top left" refer to the table, window or what? Could it be a feature of your own browser or a browser extension to disable JavaScript or something like that? PrimeHunter (talk) 02:10, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

:it's a wp thing -- you should see it if you increase your font size or decrease your window size until you get a left-right scroll bar — kwami (talk) 09:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

::Thanks. I see it now in a very narrow desktop window. It's unrelated to left-right scrolling. A preview test also showed it for a super-narrow one-column table. If few desktop users see it then I don't think we should give instructions for it. If we do give instructions then they should make it clear that the link may not be there. And maybe make a template for it so it's standardized, and the template might omit instructions if it can detect that the link isn't there. I don't know whether that's currently possible.

:::For the record, I noticed the iOS Wikipedia app crashes on your talk page. It's now the subject of a bug report at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#App crash on talk page and phab:T397477. PrimeHunter (talk) 19:13, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

::::thanks for filing that

::::i see the 'disable' button and i use a laptop with a large screen

::::it might be all the 'helpful' crud on the sides of the page that narrows the text to the point that it shows up — kwami (talk) 22:09, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
