Listed for consensus deletion: This article and Grammar and Pronounciation-Mauuaa aber wiaancay are paragraphs from the Foxsian article that was set up as a link rather than a paragraph heading. Content has been merged with Foxsian, there is no need for this article. → Fris Θtalk 20:04, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)

  • Concur, delete at the end of the lag period. Incidentally, what nation does this apply to? --Goobergunch|? 20:18, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)
    • Also added from the same author Borrowed Words and Ancient Hittite. → Fris Θtalk 20:35, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)
      • This language applies to a Secret Language spoken in the Frisbee Freaks, called Foxsian and maybe in anyother nation I enter here. There are many Ancient Hittite words in this language! I am inventing this language for fun, and thought I'd share it with you guys!! Maybe you can use this for a secret code among your friends or something! Leave my work alone!!!
        • No one has any argument with your ability to create NS-related content, only in how it is presented. All of Foxsian, along with the Hittite connection, can easily be incorporated into a single article. If you need to expand beyond one article, then create a linked article that actually makes sense. Creating a new article for each paragraph is not how it is done in either Wikipedia or NSwiki, and that is the only argument here. → Fris Θtalk 21:42, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)
      • Re: Leave my work alone!!! This is a wiki, a community project where anyone can edit anyone else's pages in the interest of improving or clarifying them. While we respect certain boundaries like not rewriting your nation's history (as you invented it), things like layout and formatting are most definitely fair game. If you want private, unalterable webspace, you should seek your own webpage provider. This wiki is for NationStates related material and may be edited by all members. → Fris Θtalk
          • I don't want just a few phrases or words, I want a whole language. Languages are big! I have to think of many words, and not borrow everything from Hittite. E Yaw Begeg Yortva doesn't have a single Hittite word in it! (Not that I know of but that would be coincidence) I had to think of all of that! Once again it is spoken in the Frisbee Freaks. Check it out! In the Frisbee Freak section, it sais clearly that it is a language there. A secret language (Ecrect Lala) Lala was the Hittite word for language. Ecrect was my own word that I invented for the language. Also Who sais I won't be expanding this article, It'l take time!
  • If you want to develop a language that isn't used in NationStates roleplay or gameplay, but is primarily for your own amusement, then it belongs in your webspace, not NSwiki. You're obviously creating this as you go along, so it seems highly unlikely that there is any RP history behind it. That's nice, but it's not something for NSwiki.
  • Once again, I'll also point out that the article names you created (such as A few basic words-E yaw begeg yortva) do not fit the NSwiki:Naming conventions and are thus being posted for deletion. All four of the linked articles listed so far met the criteria of not having NS content and/or violated Naming conventions. Work on the primary article, and if it gets too big you can look at linking a related page or two. Setting up a single, non-used conlang with 12 or 15 article pages right from the start is essentially spamming the wiki. → Fris Θtalk 22:09, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)

  1. It is used in the Frisbee Freaks for a secret language so that they can speak in front of others they do not want to know what they are saying! It is in the Frisbee Freaks! got that? Frisbee Freaks! and for my amusement. But also in the dead nation of Foxtenikopolis, which I should put in Historic Nations.
  2. And yes, I am making this language up, From inventing the Grammer, and taking words from other languages, But mostly inventing my own.
  3. Delete the A few basic words, E Yaw Begeg Yortva. I can put that on the main Foxsian page. Sorry about spam. I could find nothing wrong with the names of chapters, except that They are in English and Foxsian.

The problem with the articles is that they are chapters, not articles in their own right. Chapters belong in the main article - they do not get sub-pages of their own. Also bear in mind that this is an encyclopedia of NationStates. Encyclopedias don't contain everything there is to know about a subject - they are summaries. If you want to write the complete dictionary and thesarus of Foxsian, go right ahead. Just don't do it here. A summary, alphabet, some of the rules of grammar, and link to the online dictionary would be more appropriate here. As User:Goobergunch pointed out to you on your user talk page, this is HIS webspace, and it's a wiki encyclopedia, not your private webspace. We're following HIS rules on this site. → Fris Θtalk 22:45, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)

Fine! I put a few things here and make a website about this language. I'm so sorry I tried to share something I am inventing here with you guys! befor I make the site, Is it worth it? or you just don't care about this, let me know. Is anyone interested?

C'mon! tell me! Don't you want me to write about this language elsewhere?


  1. I'm a NSwiki sysop, and as such am more concerned with the structure of this wiki than the content. I don't particularly care one way or the other. If you wish to speak with other constructed language creators about it, there are a number of conlangs in Category:Languages. Send them a NS telegram and ask.
  2. This is not a discussion board. If you want to "Bump" topics and have ongoing conversations, go to the NS Forums. This isn't the place for that.
  3. Please log in to your account and sign your posts. Even though I have a good guess who is posting, common wiki courtesy is to sign posts on talk pages. → Fris Θtalk 03:14, 29 Nov 2004 (GMT)

--- What's a conlang?
