= Unprecedented Kind of Phrase-Book =

I have this idea of making a suitable kind of phrase-book by travellers, for travellers in the style of LonelyPlanet (and giving away the basic starting points is just an ordinary act of meta-physical dedication/imagination, anyway). --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 09:53, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

= What is the word for the number 7? =

I just rolled back an edit of Hat to Shat, but I realize Shat could be right. Which one is correct? Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:33, 18 January 2022 (UTC)


 * That IP edit looks like vandalism to me, as an alternate form of "sh*t". The edit summary of "fixed typo" is a common thing that vandals use to get their edit under the radar. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 06:44, 18 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I thought so, too. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:48, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Special:Diff/4371071 is definitely not a typo.... SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 08:03, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No, but I don't know which word is correct. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:30, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Both are correct. 4 (sair/sari), 7 (hat/shat). -ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ (talk) 20:45, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Confusion
Hi, does Sylheti phrasebook has a "good article" badge? I'm a bit confused. I don't see any badges in the article or any discussion for a good article on the talk page. Can anybody tell. Sorry for disturbing. Thanks. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 19:31, 23 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Sylheti phrasebook is a guide article, the second highest in our classification of articles, when it is "essentially complete". Articles can be Outline, Usable, Guide or Star. Also see Phrasebook status. There are centralised discussions of promoting articles to star, but a discussion isn't required for the other promotions (it sometimes happens for guide).

 * Yes, we're not Wikipedia to have "good articles". -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 05:47, 24 November 2023 (UTC)


 * [edit conflict] The status is seen in the template at the bottom of the article, which says it has "guide" status. Usually anybody who sees that an article fulfils the relevant criteria (see Phrasebook status) can change the status (except for star). The status was changed to guide in 2012. The article doesn't follow the standard format and the criteria have changed since 2012, so there should probably be a discussion. –LPfi (talk) 21:55, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
