Shanghainese
We're treating Shanghainese as a dialect of Wu, instead of as a separate language. Thus, the L2 header should be Wu, but a tag noting Shanghainese specific forms is encouraged when appropriate. Additionally, you may want to take a look at WT:AZH, and note some of the formatting conventions for Chinese. I'm the last person you want to ask questions about formatting, as east Asian languages have always utterly confused me. However, I am capable of sending you in the direction of some more knowledgeable folks, should you desire. Please feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 06:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

IPA
I need an expert in the International Phonetic Alphabet.大始王皇 23:22, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sadly, I am rather poor at IPA myself. May I ask what you help with concerning IPA, specifically?  I'm sure we have someone who could help you.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 23:58, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Beware that IPA is a much larger domain than you might expect. I know "some stuff" about it. What's your question? &mdash; hippietrail 01:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Because there are several different romanizations for the Wu dialect, i need to put up prponounciations in IPA to indicate proper pronounciations. 大始王皇 00:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The two people I would try are User:A-cai and User:Stephen G. Brown. A-cai really specialized in Chinese, but isn't around as much.  Stephen is really a of all languages, and is fairly consistently around.  I'm sure one of them would be able to help you.  Additionally, hippietrail is quite versatile and worth a shot, especially as they've already tentatively pledged assistance.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 06:48, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Characters
Hi, I think you should add the character in the "Wu" entry (see how the characters are also included in all the other language sections. 24.29.228.33 01:53, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * actually i realized its a bad idea for me to edit anything, because some characters are not even used in different dialects, and they only share meaning in common.大始王皇 01:56, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you should know Wu before adding words. But if you have a reference stating the pronunciations of individuals characters (keeping in mind that a single character may have more than one reading in a given Chinese dialect), I think it would be fine. 24.29.228.33 01:57, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
