Publishing activities

Evertype's Carrollian publishing activities have been mentioned in various publications by the Lewis Carroll Society (UK and North America), and the forthcoming Irish Hobbit has been referred to in the British and Irish press as well as elsewhere. I do not know whether other editors consider this notable enough to appear in the article, but references can be provided. -- Evertype· 18:14, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Registration of Armenian Western, Grabar and Middle languages in ISO 693 series

Dear Mr. Everson

My name is Gevorg Mkhitaryan and I am a representative of National Standardization body of Armenia. Armenian Eastarn is already included in ISO 639-2 as an individual language. But we would also like to include Armenian Western, Grabar and Middle languages in these series of standards in accordance with language tags hyw, hyg, hym (see your page: http://www.evertype.com/standards/hy/ArmCS-005.html). Could you please give us some information about this procedure. Your help be will highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
Best regards

This is clearly not the correct venue to request changes to ISO standards. See http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/ but note that these code elements are already included in ISO 639-3, which is good enough for almost everyone. Doug Ewell (talk) 23:06, 21 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

COI

Edits of these users to this page are subject to COI. Also see, Talk:Andrew West (linguist)#COI. --Shervinafshar (talk) 21:07, 4 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

I did not see this until today, but evidently the accusation of COI is unwarranted. The Wikipedia rules (WP:AB, WP:BLP) DO PERMIT subjects of articles to edit articles about themselves—advisedly with care and openness—and there is always a history retained for checking. So long as edits are informative and verifiable, there seems no reason to consider COI. COI would apply to unnecessarily self-serving edits. In the Real World, COI is invoked when e.g. politicians do work which benefits companies in which they have a financial interest (either benefitting from public funding or insider-trading). I don't see much of an analogy here. -- Evertype· 11:56, 24 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Based on today's edits, where this editor is under the impression that edits to the article are by extension implying he made any given previous edit, and an editorial history of adding details claimed based on his own knowledge, it's clear there is a possible WP:COI and definite WP:V problem here. I am therefore re-adding the COI tag. Note that I am not asserting a TONE problem, but there is a ton of uncited biographical detail, and the subject seems intent to drive the content.

Shervinafshar and DMacks -- it seems a little strange that if you have concerns about Michael Everson's edits, that you never talk to him, but merely about him in the third person... AnonMoos (talk) 22:13, 10 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

There are several references to a company called "Everson Gunn Teoranta" in the context of Unicode alphabets. The company was dissolved some time ago. Was Michael involved? Jorge Stolfi (talk) 16:52, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
