Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. -- ~riley (talk) 23:19, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

In regards to the Kana Development Chart-file.

The Kana Development Chart doesn't include a hiragana-version of wu. I assume that you did not know of the existence of such a character (and it is certainly obscure), but apparently it does exist. I would appreciate it if you added to the chart.--213.113.126.135 10:53, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

I wasn't including it mostly because I found that it doesn't consistently appear in the 19th-century charts under reference: either う and/or 𛀋 (image in case that doesn't show up: ) might be listed in the u position, in the wu position, or both, and that is before we even get started on (or for that matter)… the use of 𛀆 () in the yi position and 𛀁 () in the ye position is somewhat more consistent. The use of as wu and う as u stems from Junkichi Katayama's version of the hiragana gojūon (which also includes several characters now regarded as hentaigana in place of their now-standard equivalents).

Even so, if you specifically want origins of of the characters from Katayama's version, I refer you to File:FlowRoot_alternate.png .

To be fair, whether the regular katakana e is regarded as an e or ye (and hence, whether another character is used for an e or for a ye) is also somewhat inconsistent, but I didn't add the katakana yi/ye/wu: those were apparently added by Rockerfrick, i.e. in the original version of the original PNG, and I just left them be.

There's also some uncertainty about whether is from 㐵, from 汙 (more likely since it's an actual man'yōgana, although both left components simplify like that elsewhere in hiragana), or a further simplification from (which is definitely from 紆). --HarJIT (talk) 11:27, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

I wasn't looking for the origin. I could simply check what is written on the Wikipedia article I linked (which I have), and it's sources (which I haven't. At least not yet), for that, and I knew that, as they make clear, the origin is unclear and disputed. I simply wanted the chart to be more complete, in containing all existing kana ...even if the wu-syllable would have to have question marks on it's origin. Well, it's up to you. (I've pretty much lost the will to argue/debate for changes on Wikimedia projects, but I figured at least making the suggestion/request was worth a shot)

Thanks for the suggested alternate version for Katayama's kana. (I hadn't noticed the really weird o, so, and e, as I honed in on the obscure syllables) With that, I can take the wu from the alternative version, put into the regular one, and make a version of the chart (that still has a unified look. Edit: Turned out to be slightly different, but... eh, it'll do, I suppose Edit 2: Nevermind, using the original png, it worked perfectly) with the wu, on my computer (for my own personal use), even if you don't decide to included it in the one here.--77.53.239.104 20:19, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Just one more thing, I just thought of (when checking if there was any non-cosmetic difference between the svg and the original png): In the chart, the origin kanji for ツ, is "川 or 州", which would seem to rather go against the argument about the uncertain origin, for wu, of either 汙 or 紆--213.113.126.135 15:02, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

For your Katakana Development Chart, can you please color the Chinese etymons in green, rather than blue?

Green contrasts more, and is more readable, than blue against black at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FlowRoot3824.svg. Acabit (talk) 04:16, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
