A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	For diligent investigation into the history of the Theban alphabet, culminating in your discovery (at the Library of Congress!) of a black-and-red chart of that alphabet from the earliest known source, the 1518 Polygraphia, and following its changes through subsequent published versions. This helps the first-mentioned article tremendously. – •Raven  .talk 11:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

RFC on the underlying definition of alphabet at WP:NCWS

There is now an RFC on the WP:NCWS alphabet definition topic. – _•Raven  ^.talk 05:04, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Revision notice: I had that link go to WP; it is now corrected to WT. – _•Raven  ^.talk 17:25, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

The things I come across while working for you...

There's an old coarse joke about Star Trek, that the starship Enterprise wipes out Klingons around... well, you've heard it. Now take a close look at this pic of the planetary symbol of Uranus: How did those ancient symbol-makers know? – .Raven  ^.talk 07:31, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

@.Raven: LOL, that's amazing. It's also interesting that that graphic is currently in use on exactly 2 articles: Planets in astrology and Kazakhstan Tennis Federation! Nosferattus (talk) 16:22, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

"U ran us ... off the court"? – .Raven  ^.talk 17:44, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

BTW...

kwami first *templated* me on my talkpage – for editing an article with an ongoing page move request  (is that even a rule?) – then (when I responded on his talkpage) reported me to WP:ANI for "harassment", quotha. I finish responding to that, check my watchlist, and oh joy, he's reverted my edit on N'Ko script, thus deleting an RS citation, with the comment: "rv: this is an ongoing discussion -- wait for the result". But the "ongoing discussion" was the page move request, which doesn't affect the article text at all. – .Raven  ^.talk 18:00, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Magical alphabets

@Nosferattus: I just started the talkpage with two overall templates, four subtemplates. Would you please look that over to see whether I did it right, and whether you like the choices I made? I very much hope you will change it to your liking, especially since you started the page! – .Raven  ^.talk 22:54, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Geoffroy's tamarin

Hi When you replace a high quality image that has been in the infobox for several years, it is not a good practice to just delete it. The image you removed is of much higher quality and, here, shows the head much better than your image, so you should have moved it to somewhere else in the article. I actually think mine is more encyclopaedic and better for the info box, but I am not going to edit war. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:05, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp: My apologies! I've restored your image to the infobox of the article. Nosferattus (talk) 23:41, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

RM at the article you started

Without intending to WP:CANVASS, I think it's fair to advise you of the RM at Talk:Magical alphabet. – .Raven  .talk 19:11, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Featured picture scheduled for POTD

Hi Nosferattus,

This is to let you know that File:Heliconius charithonia_2021.jpg, a featured picture you uploaded, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for October 22, 2023. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2023-10-22. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!  — Amakuru (talk) 12:51, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Heliconius charithonia, commonly known as the zebra longwing or zebra heliconian, is a species of butterfly belonging to the family Nymphalidae. It is distributed across South and Central America and the U.S. states of Texas and Florida, with some migrations further north in the warmer months. Adult butterflies are monomorphic of medium size with long wings. On the dorsal side, the wings are black with narrow white and yellow stripes, with a similar pattern on the ventral side, but paler and with red spots. The wingspan ranges from 72 to 100 mm (2.8 to 3.9 in). The caterpillars are white with black spots and have numerous black spikes along their body. Adults roost in groups of up to 60 individuals on a nightly basis, returning to the same roost every night. These roosts provide protection to adults, the large groups deterring predators and retaining warmth. This H. charithonia butterfly was photographed in Hendry County, Florida.

Hi, I found a recent discussion between you and Horse Eye's Back about WION. There is a discussion tangentially related to WION on this talk page. You don't have to join, but it can be good to receive inputs from editors not involved in the past. Vacosea (talk) 23:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
