@split grail article idea: people with wikipedia pages that have at some point chosen a toki pona name for themselves

#

so far i can only remember sam from wendover

#

but maybe others can think of more

split grail
#

a

#

Sonja Lang

#

if you count like

#

Esperanto Wikipedia

golden rock
#

i personally wouldn't but like sure

split grail
#

there's many tokiponists in Esperanto Wikipedia like Marek Blahuš and

#

Vacily something

#

terrible with names

#

and something Khusavona

golden rock
split grail
#

omg.

#

soweli Maja?????????? florshed

split grail
#

she's basically fluent

golden rock
#

true

#

anyway this idea was obviously triggered by rob words adopting jan Waputo as a name but unfortunately he does not seem to have a wikipedia page

split grail
#

sadge

#

this of course means that we have to get more tokiponists on Wikipedia

#

the only people that I can think of that have a Wikipedia are what I already said

#

Sonja + see [[etoso]]

They might not always fall under the label of Tokiponists.

i’m just asking random people who i talk to (and recently these “conversations” are mostly edit wars)

split grail
#

aa

#

safe stag
#

no because they shouldn't be on the page for not being name glyphs
they're not personal, or my name, or at all reflective of any way i would write my name
this is a drawing of my avatar

the closest thing to a name glyph for me, which i am providing as an example of a thing that is not a name glyph but as something still nearer than this glyph, would be the star pentagon alt for mun (i.e. 5 sided intersecting shape, the easiest way to hand draw a 5 pointed star). i have signed my name with that as my head noun before, as opposed to the usual crescent mun

split grail
#

no because they shouldn't be on the page for not being name glyphs
they are glyphs for a name,. using in writing

safe stag
#

again, the glyph isn't a name
it has a ligature that uses my name to be presented on the screen
the resultant glyph is not a name

split grail
#

hm

safe stag
#

i do not agree with the classification and i am increasingly unhappy with the glyph being assigned to me

#

if you insist that they should still be on the page, i would use something like the following wording for at least the first:
"Represents his avatar with a thumbs-up. Used in the cheat sheet by lipamanka (though no version of linja lipamanka has the glyph available). This glyph was not created or suggested by jan Kekan San, and he does not use it for a name or signature, nor identify it as a name glyph due to it not being personal and it being representative of his avatar instead of his name."

#

you may vary this wording or shorten it but all of this information is important to me

split grail
#

yeah

#

I want to include it as it was used on something

#

and if people ask others can point to this page

#

and show 'hey don't use this actually'

safe stag
#

that's fine by me

#

i am quite preferentially attached to my name in sitelen pona, aha

split grail
#

it's alright

#

I understand

#

(though no version of linja lipamanka has the glyph available)
o

safe stag
#

i should clarify that is my Understanding

split grail
#

ah I see

#

mi tawer toky lipamankers

safe stag
#

i asked lipamanka about it once a few months ago bc i was surprised i couldn't find the glyph in a ligature or in the glyph sheet

safe stag
safe stag
#

no worries

vague aspen

#

i will soon but i actually had a Lot of mentions to catch up on and i am still doing so, aha

split grail
#

just to get the whole point accross

#
  • mun li kepeken sitelen ni ala
  • mun li wile ala e ni: jan ante li kepeken sitelen ni
#

[...], due to it being a representation of his avatar instead of his name.
maybe adding this

#

for kekantesantakalu, it's also a joke glyph

#

big ass text

safe stag
split grail
#

aaaa

safe stag
#

due to it representing his avatar instead of his name*
even shorter

#

i think this wording is clear that it's fine to Use, in General
just not as a name glyph
which is how the cheat sheet presents it
but maybe this wording says it can't be used at all
idk
i don't think one compressed ish paragraph on the wiki can fully convey that detail lol

#

link this conversation, make wiki readers read every word of this conversation, that'd how wikis work

split grail
#

[...] however, this glyph was not created or is used by jan Kekan San himself, and he does not wish for it to be used as name glyph due to it representing his avatar instead of his name.

#

??¿¿¿¿???¿??

safe stag
#

"was not created or is used" grammatical error i was trying to correct

split grail
#

o

#

is that grammatically incorrect what

safe stag
#

one is past and the other is present so you need a new verb noh

#

they can't just mix for reasons

split grail
#

to me it sounded fine,.

#

burden of being non-native

#

okay so

safe stag
#

you could say "was not created, suggested, or used"
presenting the usage bit as past is a teensy bit incorrect but the following sentence corrects thr potential misunderstanding

#

i keep adding suggested because many name glyphs were not created by their users, but instead were described to somebody else who created them

split grail
#

I mean

#

they kinda are created

safe stag
#

see: lipamanka font thread

split grail
#

in my opinion

safe stag
#

no

or even, describing it in text, is that not creation

going insane trying to word this wasa

safe stag
#

i found the quote but decided it doesn't matter enough

split grail
#

so I will just not.

safe stag
#

i find it important for myself that the glyph is not attributed to me

#

but like, i have already complained enough about like, 3 sentences on one minor page of a wiki for the nichest possible topic, a minimalist conlang

# split grail or even, describing it in text, is that not creation

i would say no but that line is blurry
if i describe a space laser to John Billionaire and he goes on to pay thousands of engineers to create a space laser, i did not invent the space laser, i had the idea and John Billionaire~~'s team~~ invented the space laser

but also like that's an invention, as opposed to a name

Reduplication is repeating a word exactly or almost exactly to form a new word or phrase. In English, it occurs in words like "bye-bye" and "zigzag", in contrastive focus reduplication, and with "schm-".
Reduplication has often been suggested for Toki Pona, generally as an intensifier (for example, suwi suwi for "really cute"). However, it is no...

sona pona

pin't is a common nasin that avoids the phrasal-modifier-grouping particle pi.
To most users, pin't involves restructuring sentences to compensate for the loss of pi, so it generally does not change Toki Pona grammar.

pi is a particle used for regrouping modifiers. The resulting phrase that follows it is called a pi phrase.

Should we have a general page on conlangs to handle misconceptions about those

luka pona came way after and I'm mostly using these hands because it's convenient (there's no better images for handshapes that are all coherrent)

I'm also not making them because I had a small anxiety attack and ended up destroying all my nails so that'll have to wait

@split grail pls stop moving the resources without talking to me

so then

outer stirrup
#

i want them at the top because they're a better starting point if you want to learn rather than the sort of shortened summary in the wiki

split grail
#

I put them at the bottom bc

  • it's more common for wikis, and our other pages
  • the info is in a different method (learning-focused vs. grammar-focused)
#

and the pages are bigger, at least, trying to collect the info that I can

#

(sadly without videos, yet)

split grail
#

the sona pona article is not great for learning, but I don't think it has to be, more about giving you information or learning about something

#

if you go to the Wikipedia page for, Turkish idk, you won't be able to learn it very well, but you will understand that ah this is a language it has this syntax this morphology blah blah blah

#

I like sona pona also bc it gives me the chance to write articles not focused primarily on learning like this

hi juwan. tepo is upset because luka pona is kinda like viossa in that you can be spoiled by looking at this wiki page. the best way to learn (as tepo did) is to go through the blog posts in toki pona taso and not get spoiled by seeing the grammar summarized in english. by not havibg the resources at the top of the page, you may inevitably make it so that some people who would have learned it via toki pona taso can no longer do it. learning via tpt is such a triumph. so far lp is the only language you can learn using toki pona taso. ive seen 'spoiler' warnings on fandom wikis before. is it possible that something similar can be implemented here

#

ofc theres absolutely nothing wrong with people learning through english. for example, it makes it more accessible to Deaf people. but preserving the option would be wonderful if its feasible

upbeat summit
#

We could add a notice that speakers encourage learning it through the TPT lessons or similar

rugged torrent
#

that would be amazing. i could help draft that notice
