User talk:Long-live-ALOPUS

Hey there! I’m Long-live-ALOPUS! I like adding links to pages, removing vandalism and correcting grammar and spelling. I love creating CONLANGS, and I’m currently creating one for my fictional country! If you have any suggestions for my conlang (like a unique grammatical rule, phoneme or anything), do let me know in this talk page! Thanks! Have a great day!

A cup of tea for you!

thank you for your contributions!! :) (PS: I also love conlangs!) xRozuRozu (t • c) 21:04, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much!

Enjoyed the tea! 😋 Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 09:38, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

BTW, have you made any conlang? Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 13:14, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome! And yes, I made one for artistic purposes (songs/poems/etc) and I'm also learning Viossa at the moment :) xRozuRozu (t • c) 23:39, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh! I hope you have a good journey! I’m making my first proper conlang, inspired by Russian, Siberian and Alaskan languages. I hope you like grammatical cases, cause my conlang has 10! I’m currently on formality distinctions and pragmatics, and I completed semantic shift, syntax and most of the hard grammar! Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 09:27, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

That's very impressive! Are you planning to use it for anything? xRozuRozu (t • c) 05:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

It’s a language for a project I’ve been making since I was a kid! It’s a classical language for my fictional country Testimonia, an island nation (about the size of Ireland, but bigger) located in the Bering Sea between Alaska and Russia. This language is vulnerable, as most of it’s speakers have shifted to Testimonia (another HORRIBLE conlang I made, literally a rip off of Russian and English). Otherwise, I just like making it as a hobby! Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 09:16, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

That's really cool :) I hope you have a great journey too! xRozuRozu (t • c) 17:30, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Does your conlang have any weird quirks? Like, even though mine is located in the Bering Sea, it has a ‘dental click’. Also, if the phoneme ‘z’ is followed by ‘voiceless labial-velar fricative’, ‘dra (trilled d)’ and ‘ɲ’, it becomes trilled (like ‘zr’ but you trill it, ie you vibrate it). There are other weird quirks, like even during ellipsis, SVO word order has to be visually maintained. Also, mine has a ‘Nihilum tense’, to show that an action occurred during a time of chaos, anarchy, sadness, sorrow, loneliness, abandonment, desolation et cetera... I made this tense when I was sad, BTW... Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 01:51, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Mine doesn't really have any rules, I just make up random words haha. Yours seems very interesting and complex! xRozuRozu (t • c) 05:57, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

If you’re ever interested in making the grammar for your conlang, do tell me! Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 09:36, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Isn't ripping off already existing languages the core basic of conlanging? SomeCatOnTheInternet (talk) 05:19, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

😅😅 Yeah, Testimonia was a flop. It literally was English, written with a modified Cyrillic script! Now, I’m trying to do an original conlang, that hopefully has some depth. Speaking about grammar, yes, I do like going deep into grammar (even though I’m a minimalist)! Would you like some advice? Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 09:15, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

I really appriciate it, but I am fine, thank you. My conlangs all already got what I would call "good grammar". Still working on the one with the very unique grammar though. SomeCatOnTheInternet (talk) 12:15, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Good for you! You can ask linguists how to make it. I usually watch Artifexian or Biblaridion if I have a doubt, or ask ChatGPT. Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 01:40, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Personally, I always turn to latin if I need some help, because there's really good guides when it comes to grammar. SomeCatOnTheInternet (talk) 04:54, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

I see, someone is a fan of creating rather grammatically complex languages. I usually keep it down to four to five, maybe six for simplicity, but respect if you can keep track. (I couldn't, especially because I already have 11 more or less finished conlangs and two more in the making.) SomeCatOnTheInternet (talk) 05:18, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I would send you a brownie, but I don’t know how to! I can’t find that heart button (WikiLove)! Anyways, thanks a lot! Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 13:51, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Mine is near the upper right corner, next to the star ("add to watchlist"), but some templates can be found here! xRozuRozu (t • c) 01:13, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

About the Desolate Case

Hi there, Danyunsik. Actually, the ‘desolate case’ is a case, that can be found in some Siberian and Northern Caucasian languages. Also, this case is used in multiple constructed languages (conlangs). Even I was confused, but when I looked it up, I saw that languages like Udi use this case. Other than that, I couldn’t find anything more about it. All I do know is that it is used to show a noun turning into/existing in a state of desolation, abandonment, emotional/physical emptiness and stuff like that. For example, in ‘The ruins were abandoned’, the Desolate Case market will be given to ‘ruins’. This is an example ChatGPT gave. I hope this clears your doubt! Thank you!

WP:PIA

Hi Long-live-ALOPUS! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict, including discussing articles on talk pages, unless you are logged into an account and that account is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.

The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.

As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:

Sorry for that! But, the UN, The ICJ, the ICC and multiple other human rights watch groups have called this a genocide. And, I’m not sure what people mean by this topic being “complex/contentious”! It’s an invasion of a country and the denying of basic human rights, nothing else. Sorry, again! Hope you understand. Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 16:13, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

No problem. I understand. It's designated as contentiousness in the sense that there's constant conflict between editors over content. Sean.hoyland (talk) 16:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. I’ll try not to do that again... Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 16:22, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

happy birthday! :) x RozuRozu • teacups 07:42, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

OMG Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind gesture. Thanks again! 😄😄😄 Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 08:27, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

If you don’t mind me asking, what is the petition in your home page about? Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 08:55, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

In July, ANI filed a lawsuit against the WMF for "defamation" and wanted them to disclose information about the editors. The petition protested against that, but they did it anyway so it's closed now. I'm keeping it concise, but you can read more about it here and here. x RozuRozu • ^tea_cups 09:37, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Oh! Well, I actually live in Delhi! What exactly did the editors do? Long-live-ALOPUS (talk) 09:39, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

From the ANI article:

At the time of the suit's filing, the Wikipedia article about ANI said the news agency had, "been accused of having served as a propaganda tool for the incumbent central government, distributing materials from a vast network of fake news websites, and misreporting events on multiple occasions". The filing accused Wikipedia of publishing, "false and defamatory content with the malicious intent of tarnishing the news agency's reputation, and aimed to discredit its goodwill".
