Peh-oe-ji

@Geographyinitiative Do you intend to create the lemmas for your Peh-oe-ji entries? —Suzukaze-c (talk) 04:58, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey man! I personally restrict myself from adding any material that I don’t have an authoritative source on unless I am very, very sure of a usage by personal experience, usually with at least one clear example in mind. My goal is to strictly limit the possibility for any errors to arise in my work. If entries I made are not good enough to have in the opinion of community, they could be deleted and I take no offense, but I must in principle limit myself from creating pages and material beyond the scope of my personal strong knowledge or authoritative sources at all costs. This protects my account on the one hand and also adds rigor and quality to my edits on the other. Did I answer your question? I may be confused.

@Geographyinitiative: ...I just had to choose the entry with cached content that shows a red link for some reason. What awful luck. Never mind. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 05:48, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

@Geographyinitiative: Hm, no; there are entries like chhut-thâu and chhiⁿ-chhioh whose targets still don't exist. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 06:15, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

I do not have explicit knowledge or an authority indicating that 齣頭 is a variant of 出頭 instead of the standard form vis-a-vis Min Nan standards and norms. However, the 出頭 page seems to class 齣頭 as variant, which would be consistent with Mainland Mandarin conception that 齣 is an 異體字 of 出 [1] Taiwan Mandarin does not make this yitizi connection. I don't want to create the 齣頭 page only to have it wrapped into 出頭 regardless of the fact 出頭 is not shown as a variant of 齣頭 here [2] If the POJ page needs to be deleted, then ok. If others have better knowledge of this area, then I defer to them. Geographyinitiative (talk) 07:36, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

That's fair. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 11:07, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

@Justinrleung, RcAlex36, Mar vin kaiser Do we have any interest in full-bluelink-entry-ify-izing the redlink POJ entries left in this category by Wikijb? —Fish bowl (talk) 00:55, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
