Non-free rationale for File:Revivalistics BackCover.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Revivalistics BackCover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ghil'ad Zuckermann connection?[edit]

Welcome back. Since you returned four days ago, I notice that you have been adding content referencing Ghil'ad Zuckermann's recent book on "Revivalistics" all over the place, including at False cognate, Natural semantic metalanguage, Translation, an entry at a disambig page, Spelling, another disambig page, these two images, German Academic Exchange Service, Presbyterianism, Commonly misspelled English words, and perhaps others. In fact, with few exceptions, all of your edits since then are related to this. I also looked at the article on the book, and it reads like a hagiography. I've tagged it for too much use of primary sources, but other than that, I've left it alone for the moment.

Do you have some connection to Ghil'ad Zuckermann? Please read Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest, and if you do have a connection, please follow the instructions at WP:DISCLOSE. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 09:13, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I met Professor Ghil’ad Zuckermann 5 years ago. I listened to a lecture he delivered in Sydney. No connection or relation. I am currently reading and re-reading his new book “Revivalistics: From the Genesis of Israeli to Language Reclamation in Australia and Beyond (Oxford University Press), which is impressive. Are you saying that I should not write about it?!? And I have written about many other things too, such as other Jews and kibbutzim in Israel. I hope it is ok to cover Jewish topics. SuzieMillen (talk) 11:48, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not saying you shouldn't write about Zuckermann or his book. You may write about any topic you choose. There was a possible WP:COI issue I inquired about, and instead of laying an impersonal template on your page (Template:uw-coi is the usual choice) I thought I'd just ask you. Now you've answered, and you're fine.

By the way, it was only by chance that I noticed your response here while I was looking for something else. Normally, when you respond to someone on your Talk page (or on an article talk page) they won't know you responded and may never get back to you, unless you alert them to your reply. There are several ways to do this, starting with {{reply}}, and {{ping}}. See WP:NOTIF for details. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 22:16, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @SuzieMillen:, cc @Mathglot:. I am jumping into this dicussion because I have flagged the Revivalistics article as WP:PROMOTION. The article is written in a promotional, non-neutral tone. I also consider the article to fall short of the Wikipedia:Notability criteria. I appreciate that SuzieMillen has clarified her potential WP:COI issue. I also note that she has been reading and enjoying the book. However, the Revivalistics article in my view should be nominated for deletion. I intend to do this. Thanks for your attention, Sunjaifriþas (talk) 23:02, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

False cognate[edit]

Can you provide excerpts from pages 91, and 96, of references 18 and 19 at False cognate that you used to source the assertion about he:דַּל and en:dull, and about he:דיבוב and en:dub, in section #False cognates used in the coinage of new words of the article? An excerpt which contains the expression false cognate from the book on each of those pages would be especially useful for verifiability of this section. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 09:54, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When Zuckermann explains what phono-semantic matching is, he makes a clear distinction between etymologically-unrelated (in other words: “false cognates“) phonetically-similar pairs and “incestuous“ (i.e. “etymologically-related) pairs. Zuckermann explains that dal and dull are etymologically unrelated (in other words, they are false cognates) and got matched with each other only within the Modern Hebrew en rega dal. The same applies to dibúv and dubbing. I hope it helps. Given your edit, please delete “see above” within the False Cognate item. SuzieMillen (talk) 11:57, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also: please change the item name: it should be False Cognates in the plural, see False Friends. Thank you. SuzieMillen (talk) 12:11, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
