Hello, I'm JellyMan9001. I noticed that you recently removed content from Sonderkommando without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

I can find some maps online that have similar content to your map ( File:Sobibor extermination camp map, summer 1943.png) but they don't explicitly say that they show the camp in 1943 [1] [2]. It would be great if you could edit the source parameter to include where you got the information from. Thanks! b uidh e 19:44, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Botterweg14, it’s fine to copy content from one article to another, but Wikipedia’s licensing requirements make it obligatory to provide attribution for the copied content in the edit summary. WP:CWW explains how to do this. When you forget to provide attribution, as you did in several edits at Sobibor extermination camp, you can fix it up after the fact; please see WP:RIA for how to do this. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Mathglot ( talk) 10:31, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Do you have any idea what part of the camp it shows? (I restored the image and am thinking of nominating it for featured picture, so it would be useful to have the information). Also, do you know if the Metropol Verlag book says anything about the copyright status of the album? Thanks in advance, ( t · c) buidhe 21:11, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey Botterweg, thanks for the edit summary, but I'm going to revert it again. I would agree that the entire issue is not earth-shattering either way, but I'd disagree that catena constitutes "niche grammar formalism." Indeed I think it's a pretty straightforward linguistics term - so much so that it has its own Wikipedia article. In the context of the Uses of English verb forms article, I'd say it's better to have it than not. It's helpful for users who know the term and instructive for those who don't. Right? Cheers. -- Kent Dominic·(talk) 05:11, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Now THIS is the kind of back-and-forth I appreciate. Your comment exposed my brain fart on the matter. By way of background, I work with three senses of catena:
As I work with my own sense of catena on a regular basis, I interpolated it as the meaning suggested in the Uses of English verb forms article. My bad! So, in hindsight, I think you were right to delete the dependency grammar sense of catena from the article. Incidentally, my own definition for verb catena is this: a collocated chain, series, or string of two or more verb forms performing an aggregate function within a verb phrase that comprises:
So, in contrast to Osborne, my verb catena definition includes a collocation such as “Botterweg is chewing gum” (since “is” and “chewing” aggregately perform a dynamic function and are both verbs) but excludes a verb phrase such as “'Wrigley' is chewing gum” (since the “is” performs a stative function and “chewing” is an attributive gerund).
Admittedly, most people couldn't care less about such distinctions from a linguistics standpoint as the meaning of a given sentence remains the same no matter how we term its lexical items and parse its syntax. Yet, my aim is to give rational explanations to ESL students who commonly can’t distinguish an active participle (Botterweg is chewing gum”) from a passive participle (“Botterweg is amazing/has tired”) from an active verb catena (“Botterweg is amazing his peers/has tired his opponents) from a gerund (“Botterwegs are bowling balls that win numerous championships).
Note: I can't tell you how many times ESL students read a sentence like “Botterwegs are bowling balls that win numerous championships" and can't determine whether "Botterwegs" are (a) people who continually bowl balls that win championships, or (b) a brand of bowling balls. The distinction is particularly hard when unfamiliar proper nouns are entailed.]
In my view, traditional grammar terms (e.g. present participle and past participle) and niche linguistic terms (e.g. Osborne’s catena) are insufficient to describe all of the above distinctions. So, let me introduce myself as the nominal linguist (and erstwhile novelist) who’s labored the past four years to fix everything.
Long story short: I’m restoring your edit. Cheers. -- Kent Dominic·(talk) 06:09, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Your recent edit is a lot more precise. Casual users might find it a bit less accessible. (Hope they use the imbedded links as needed.) Yet, I deleted some of your explanatory stuff toward the end of your edit. See the comments in that edit for my rationale. Also, one omission is worth noting: Among Canadians and some British English speakers (esp. New Zealand), they often use interrogatives + question tags, e.g. "Is it raining, what?" or "Are you a doctor, hey?" Also, in the U.S., it's common to hear, e.g. "Are we having fun, or what?" That was missing prior to your edit and I was too daunted by Wikipedia's "original research" police lazy to put it in. I still am. If you have some relevant cites for that, please have at it. --
Kent Dominic·(talk) 09:23, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Please review my edit here re. "nonfinite verb" and also here. The edits are unabashedly un-cited in contrast to Wikipedia's original research policy, but the editing is so prima facie valid that it nonetheless requires inclusion in the article to remedy a glaring omission. Cheers. -- Kent Dominic·(talk) 12:14, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi, just in case you didn't see Asukite's comment at Talk:Import–export (logic), I wanted to reiterate that, for future reference, articles shouldn't be moved while there's still an ongoing Requested move discussion.

Thanks for this edit and yes, that WikiProject seems comatose. Pity. Symptomatic of much of the postmodern world I am afraid.

Greetings! I've started drafting the article for question semantics. While there aren't a lot of "semantics of X" articles on here, question semantics is big and important enough to have a longer article (similar to wh-movement for syntax. Because it's such a huge and complex topic, I suspect it will take a while. Given the other articles you're active on and have written, I suspect you might be interested in taking part. It's not my direct interest area research wise, but something I've examined recently involves questions, so I'm using the writing of this as a good opportunity to review the basics.

I’m not sure why you assert that were isn’t subjunctive. Its entry in Wiktionary calls it:
Furthermore, in Wiktionary’s definition of subjunctive mood, the very first example given is:
And if that’s not enough, Merriam-Webster too calls it subjunctive.
