Thread:User talk:Rua/Unexplained rollbacks on PIE entries./reply (3)

I think that the inclusion of reconstructed pronunciation is helpful. It's nice to have something to go on, especially for words with many laryngeals which would otherwise appear to be unpronounceable. Merely including a reconstructed pronunciation does NOT imply that the reconstruction is certain.

Where is there a rule that says "thou shalt not include reconstructed pronunciations on PIE entries"? I must've missed that memo. On the other hand, the pronunciation at *méh₂tēr was there for years, since 2014. You have made several edits on that entry since then, without touching the pronunciation. It stood there until today when, moments after I mentioned it, you decided that it should be removed. It seems that you are the one who is suddenly going against consensus here and demanding that these pronunciations be removed.

I must also remark that your behavior very much contradicts your proclaimed "inclusionist" label on your Wikipedia user page.
