Hey man im josh (talk) 04:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You have removed my addition to the text on the Brandsbutt Stone Page at Brandsbutt Stone.

I wrote "The Ogham script spells ‘Iratadd o Arens’. From modern Welsh into English it translates to 'Irritated of kidney/ blood'. It can therefore be assumed, due to the snake image, that this could refer to someone who may have been poisoned by a snake (adder/viper)."

This is a straight translation from modern Welsh along with a statement clearly forwarded as conjecture - "this could" and "may have been". I do not understand the need for a citation or how a citation can be used. Would a Welsh dictionary reference be acceptable?

Elements of the following statement found upon the same page do not offer citations/references for - The Newton Stone (IDDARRNNN) and The Scoonie Stone (EDDARRNONN).

"Other examples of the name Ethernan being preserved on Pictish stones include, in Ogham, The Newton Stone (IDDARRNNN), Rodney's Stone (EDDARRNON) and The Scoonie Stone (EDDARRNONN), and, in Latin script, The Fordoun Stone (PIDARNOIN)."

I have the following reference but as of yet unsure as to how to configure it in wiki:

Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru / A Dictionary of the Welsh Language www.geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html Published 1982 iradedd [irad +-edd] Eg. Ansawdd neu gyflwr galarus, galarusrwydd, gresyni, trueni: The quality or state of mourning, regret, pity: Ruefulness, grievousness, wretchedness. [1783] W d.g. ruefulness. 1803 P, iradedd, ruefulness, grievousness. iradedd o aren iratat o arens

Update: 22:59 16/02/24 I think I managed to configure references correctly and have re-presented the contribution.

Hey could you please remove the warnings all of that infomation was facts and true

please unban me thanks Adasdaddadafgwqgjkahguajk (talk) 19:11, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You aren't banned. Do you expect to be?   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:29, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're not banned. And even if you were, I can't unblock you. Only administrators can block and unblock.

Do you have a reliable source backing up your claims? My Pants Metal (talk) 20:41, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Going back and looking at your edits, I will admit giving you a final warning for this edit seems a bit harsh and probably some bad faith on my end, even if your edit was unsourced. However, your edits such as this one and this one are vandalism and were rightly reverted.

As a compromise, I'll remove the level 4 warning from your talk page, but I'll keep the level 3 warning. Just be careful editing going forward. One or two more bad faith edits, and you will be blocked. My Pants Metal (talk) 20:48, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the heads up. I have added references, the majority of my edits come from a single large source of information. If you notice any incited information I can go back and find the reference 2001:1970:4AE5:A300:5447:C8DA:5C49:E5A8 (talk) 15:48, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just because Jessica Alba has distant Mayan ancestry does not mean that she is a good fit to represent Maya Americans. Indigenous American identity is much more about maintaining links with an indigenous community, maintaining links to an indigenous culture, and perhaps speaking an indigenous language than ancestry alone (especially distant ancestry). Jessica Alba does not meet the criteria for any of that. Please read the "Talk" section for Maya Americans. 67.6.128.161 (talk) 04:13, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
