- Notes to self: EN help desk archive; Archive.org page for EN re-upload as fair use. -- John of Reading (talk) 19:36, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- (Years later) The same recording was uploaded again in 2014 by another user as File:Wilhelm Scream.ogg. In 2016 this was challenged at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wilhelm Scream.ogg and confirmed as {{PD-ineligible}} -- John of Reading (talk) 21:01, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- (More years later) In 2024 the recording appeared on the front page as Media of the day. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:38, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
File:Waheed The Legend.jpg
[edit]I have corrected the date of photo shoot. The photo is 50 years old. So I highly appreciate if you remove the speedy deletion tag. Thank you. File Uploader (talk) 18:58, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- The tag says "Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed" - it's not a speedy deletion tag. -- John of Reading (talk) 12:27, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Help:IPA
[edit]I was looking for a user like you! You have recently edited some Help:IPA pages and talks, and given your name IPA should be your thing. I would like to ask your opinion about this: in Spanish and Italian Help:IPA pages, the phoneme [ŋ] (a mere allophone of /n/ before velar consonants /k/ and /g/) has got its own place in the phonemes list; on the contrary, the phoneme [ɱ] (a mere allophone of /n/ before labiodental consonants /f/ and /v/) has been de-listed and substituted by [m] with a note in brackets. What do you honestly think about this? On my opinion this distinguishment is pointless, unjustified and confusing, but I would like to hear an expert's opinion. Let me know, thank you in advance ^_^ -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phetamineam (talk • contribs) 14:33, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
