'''Share your experience in this survey'''
Hi {{PAGENAME}},
There are only a few weeks left to take the Community Insights Survey! We are 30% towards our goal for participation. If you have not already taken the survey, you can help us reach our goal!
With this poll, the Wikimedia Foundation gathers feedback on how well we support your work on wiki. It only takes 15-25 minutes to complete, and it has a direct impact on the support we provide.
Please take 15 to 25 minutes to '''[https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0pSrrkJAKVRXPpj?Target=CI2019List(other,act5) give your feedback through this survey]'''. It is available in various languages.
This survey is hosted by a third-party and [https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Insights_2019_Survey_Privacy_Statement governed by this privacy statement] (in English).
Find [[m:Community Insights/Frequent questions|more information about this project]]. [mailto:surveys@wikimedia.org Email us] if you have any questions, or if you don't want to receive future messages about taking this survey.
Sincerely,

The entry looks good, but I am not happy with L&SJ with regards to the naming of the organism. In contemporary English sources [[Paul's betony]] is ''[[Veronica officinalis]]'' (syn. ''[[Stachys betonica]]''). In taxonomic sources ''[[Sideritis purpurea]]'' is ''[[Sideritis romana subsp. purpurea]]''. English vernacular names for ''[[Sideritis]]'' spp. are [[ironwort]], [[mountain tea]], [[shepherd's tea]]. Unfortunately this kind of thing often happens with vernacular names of taxa, especially in older languages, like Hebrew, Greek, Latin, etc. I don't know how to proceed, except perhaps put this information on the talk page for the entry.

== Surnames ==
Hi. Where can I search the 2010 United States Census? I want to see why our [[Sahakyan]] is 97.18% Hispanic/Latino. Also, {{template|R:en:DAFN}} is for referencing the ''Dictionary of American Family Names'' (DAFN). If the entry is not found in DAFN, obviously it should not be cited. --[[User:Vahagn Petrosyan|Vahag]] ([[User talk:Vahagn Petrosyan|talk]]) 20:40, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
:Sorry, it was my mistake: clearly 97.18% of White people hold this surname. Anyway, you can download the list of United States surnames occuring 100 or more times in the United States Census Bureau site, you just need to search Names_2010 Census. Hope it might help you.

::I found the list, thanks. [[User:Vahagn Petrosyan|Vahag]] ([[User talk:Vahagn Petrosyan|talk]]) 20:54, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
Please stop adding {{tl|swp}} links from generic surnames to names of specific individuals on Wikipedia. This is of no etymological value, and creates the likely misleading impression that the linked person is the forebear of the name, which most are obviously not. [[User:BD2412|<i style="background:lightgreen">bd2412</i>]] [[User talk:BD2412|'''T''']] 18:12, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
:I like adding the famous bearer as a usex, as in {{m|en|Tankian}} and {{m|en|Patapoutian}}. That way the reader knows this is indeed the entry for the surname of the person he was researching and not for some homonymous surname.

== [[Pysher]] ==
Did you get this right? You mentioned [[Pysher]] and [[Pyscher]] on the page. I'll leave it to you to fix... [[User:GreyishWorm|GreyishWorm]] ([[User talk:GreyishWorm|talk]]) 19:08, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
:Thanks for reporting this, I was probably influenced by the German surname Beischer which originated the American surname and I added an unexistent ''-c-'' [[User:Samubert96|Samubert96]] ([[User talk:Samubert96|talk]]) 08:41, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

== Ottoman borrowings from Arabic ==
I think you have been too aggressive changing {{tl|der}} to {{tl|bor}} in Ottoman Turkish etymologies. Ottoman Turkish terms derived from Arabic would not be considered borrowings in Wiktionary's classification unless they came into the language after c. 1500 and were not indirect borrowings through Persian. Words that came into Turkish before c. 1500 are inherited from Old Anatolian Turkish. (We should probably make that an etymology-only code within Ottoman Turkish, but for now it is not.) For the most part we have not distinguished direct borrowings from Arabic from indirect borrowings via Persian.

:@[[User:Samubert96|Samubert96]] Where did you take Common Turkic *çörek from? [[User:Allahverdi Verdizade|Allahverdi Verdizade]] ([[User talk:Allahverdi Verdizade|talk]]) 13:26, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
::It was already written as a borrowing from Common Turkic *çörek, you should ask to the user who created the page. If you think that it's not correct, feel free to modify the etymology [[User:Samubert96|Samubert96]] ([[User talk:Samubert96|talk]]) 13:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
== {{l|en|Wolston}} ==
I know the surname exists, but drew a blank on Wikipedia. Can you come up with any references? ''[[User:Donnanz|DonnanZ]] ([[User talk:Donnanz|talk]]) 11:51, 28 August 2023 (UTC)''
:Hi @[[User:Donnanz|Donnanz]], I've just edited the page adding some references I've found in Forebears, which states that the surname is still present in the United States, and in ancestry.com, which provides a list of people who carried this surname. I hope it can help. [[User:Samubert96|Samubert96]] ([[User talk:Samubert96|talk]]) 08:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
:: Thanks! My source was the Railway Magazine, March 1950: "R. W. '''Wolston''', of Brixham, was instrumental in obtaining the Act for the railway, which was authorised on July 25, 1864 {{...}}.", and "When '''Wolston''' was nearly ruined, {{...}}" ''[[User:Donnanz|DonnanZ]] ([[User talk:Donnanz|talk]]) 09:37, 29 August 2023 (UTC)''
:::I guess you can add your source as a quotation, the more references we have the better the entry will be [[User:Samubert96|Samubert96]] ([[User talk:Samubert96|talk]]) 09:47, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

== Unwanted American Statistics Revisited ==
You're still adding them, aren't you? If you cannot be bothered to start using MORE '''RECENT''' statistics (e.g., from the 2020 U.S. Census, which were made fully available last year anyway), please consider starting to remove '''ALL''' outdated so-called statistics sections referencing the 2010 U.S. Census or a bot may be set up to get rid of those come what may. IMHO, they are frankly '''NOT''' needed (not to mention potentially inviting additions, by other users, from, e.g., the 2021 British and Canadian Censuses) and clutter up many, MANY proper noun pages. I also see this was brought up before in the Beer Parlor, and that a couple of other users supported completely getting rid of them "with supreme prejudice", but that ''you'' are '''STILL''' stubbornly refusing to acknowledge that no more such sections should have been added. Kind but stern regards. -- [[Special:Contributions/46.208.36.99|46.208.36.99]] 16:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
