Manx lessons--83.237.187.88 13:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


Hi thanks for the welcome! I hope to start contributing properly to the gv:wiki once I've learnt some more Manx. So far all I've written here is the article on Irish, and I'm not sure it's entirely grammatical at that! Conor O Bradaigh 13:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I speak Irish fluently, which is very like Manx. Both she and t'eh mean "he is". She is used to say that one thing is another thing (like in this case where GW Bush is the president). T'eh is used for adjectives (e.g. "he is small" T'eh beg.) and with certain verb forms (e.g. "he is going" T'eh goll). This blog is written by a native speaker, and shows the different places where she and t'eh are used. Conor O Bradaigh 19:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I unfortunately don't know how to make tables or upload images etc. You're right that we need more people on the project! Do you know of any online communities (bulletin boards, email lists) related to the Manx language? Maybe we can find more people to help out there. Conor O Bradaigh 10:55, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
There's a Manx forum at [1], an online community at [2] and a list of contacts at [3]. Tigershrike 19:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sysop

Hi, Norrin Strange. This wiki lacks sysops at all. Please speak with the other active members of the gv.wiki community and elect (at least one, but better two or three) sysops. That would help you to work faster and more effectively and it would improve the project I think. (I write this text to several active users.) Greetings, --Thogo 18:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC) (m:SWMT)

Hm, what about Tigershrike and Spaircí? Are they inactive now? If yes, you could just request for a 3 months temporary sysop status on Meta (m:Requests for permissions) I see you already requested for permanent sysop status. That is opposed by the stewards because there seem to be other active users here (Tigershrike and Spaircí maybe). But for requesting a temporary sysop flag an election is not neccessary, you can just do. :o) You should choose the Temp sysop section on m:RfP. (direct Link). Grtx, --Thogo 18:19, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
You had an answer, Shanel refused the request, but I requested temp sysop status for you now, so probably you have the admin buttons soon. :o) (I spoke with some stewards on the IRC channel and they said it is no problem.) --Thogo 18:42, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
You should be sysop now. [4] Congrats. --Thogo 19:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spurious page

I'm not really sure how else to point this out. Much structure seems to be missing and unfortunately I don't have any Manx to add it. As you're the only sysop, I'll put it here. Sorry if this isn't the place you'd prefer it. Galego seems to have been added as somebody's sandbox. As such, it should probably be deleted. (I'm not sure what "Galego" would be in Manx, nor can I even find an Irish equivalent that could be borrowed.) Hope this is even a little helpful. —Leftmostcat 07:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
