Were you going to report MongolicHistorian for edit warring on Xiongnu language? Clearly this editor, who has been asked to use the article talk page, isn't interested in discussion.

Their latest addition uses sources from 1922, 1948, and 1950. --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:19, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Kansas Bear! I'm not sure that it counts as edit warring, as they haven't re-added the things I removed. They are definitely making questionable additions, however, given the age of the sources. This is one of those cases where the article (which isn't great to begin with) probably just needs to be reverted to before they started adding to it.--Ermenrich (talk) 20:06, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Could you guys verify his last edits? --Mann Mann (talk) 12:13, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

@Mann Mann:The words might need explicit sourcing but I believe that’s from Vovin. I reverted the edits. It seems to me that he’s pushing a Turkic perspective and trying to denigrate the Yenisseian theory.—Ermenrich (talk) 12:54, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello Ermenrich, you recently helped me on the discussion page about the history of the Dutch language. However, you claim not to be a linguist, which was irrelevant in this context. Nevertheless, I'd like to know what you do professionally, since you're a German professor and taught history of the German language. Surely you must also work in the field of linguistics and have studied German philology? ~2026-48729 (talk) 11:42, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

As it says on my bio page here, my specialization is Middle High German literature. You can find the topics I typically write on at my academia.edu page. So while I have some training in historical linguistics and I’ve learned more on my own, I’m not a linguist.—-Ermenrich (talk) 12:49, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. And what exactly did you study. Originally I thought it was something like German Studies. The German equivalent would probably be "Germanistik" ~2025-43749-07 (talk) 14:26, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

You would be correct.--Ermenrich (talk) 15:01, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Ermenrich!, help! An ip user number 2025-41340-17 made some weird edits on Troglodytae. Do they not look suspicious? Tollef Salemann (talk) 22:36, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
