Greetings
[edit]I prefer anonymity and random edits of pages I find interesting yet lacking in some small regard.
IPAc-en
[edit]The IPAc-en template is great for those non-linguists among us who do not have the IPA alphabet memorized. It should be used wherever possible!
Diacritics
[edit]It's a shame that diacritical marks like ö, è, é are harder to reach on a keyboard.
Digraphs to graphemes
[edit]I þink þorn (Þ þ) should be brought back to represent the voiceless dental fricative /θ/ ("thick," "thin" → "þick," "þin"), and eð (Ð ð) for the voiced dental fricative /ð/ ("this," "father" → "ðis," "faðer"). Insular g, Ᵹ ᵹ, might be worþ using to distinguish between hard (/ɡ/) and soft (/dʒ/) variants of the phoneme. All right, maybe not. I'm not completely crazy, ðough, so you won't find me advocating for a return of wynn (Ƿ ƿ) for /w/, or suggesting the ȝse of ȝogh (Ȝ ȝ) for /j/.
Ligatures
[edit]Ligatures like æ and œ are okay with me, too.
Something I want to keep handy
[edit]Chen Rong's handscroll from ca. 1244, Nine Dragons, ink and some red on paper. The entire scroll is 46.3 by 1,096.4 centimetres (1.52 ft × 35.97 ft)! Located in the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, Mass.

Projects
[edit]Someday I'll get around to working on this timeline of American cruiser classes: User:Dziban303/Timeline of cruisers of the United States Navy
I did a lot of maintenance on the GOES satellite articles.
I largely rewrote the article on MPAR, and I want to write an article on its successor radar, ATD. I uploaded some images of the installation of ATD:
-
ATD installation
-
ATD antenna panel, devoid of antenna elements
-
Lowering the radome
-

-
ATD antenna panel, with radiating elements installed
-
Reverse angle. 76 square panels, each with 64 elements: 4864 antennas in total

Needs work to move text off the bars. I'm not sure how to do that. - Timeline of aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy
