	The Original Barnstar
	In appreciation for the creation of almost 350 pages and editing of many diverse topics which is impossible to narrow down, plans to create and edit even more, and especially those related to the Glagolitic script.

Thank you so much! And thank you for all your help on Glagolitic script! Ⰻⱁⰲⰰⱀⱏ (ⰳⰾ) 14:54, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the next month, I have in plan to create Croatian glagolitism (about everything from the history, script, books, priests, scholars, research etc. in Croatia) based on modern recent academic literature, so I am looking forward to linking to the articles you created & edited and seeing your contribution as well once it is published, or even we could work together on my sandbox before publishing 🙂 —Miki Filigranski (talk) 15:13, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very glad you contacted me, then! Pleasantly shocked someone else is contributing to Glagolitic bibliography here. My co-author and I happen to have about a thousand pages’ worth of material on different aspects of Glagolitic, in diverse stages of completion. In fact, we’re working on Glagolitic typefaces right now. Included is a list of all Glagolitic fonts, among other things.

Nice work at User:Miki Filigranski/sandbox. As there are several thousand (10,000?) works on Glagolitic, we found it was helpful to categorise them (feel free to contribute to User:Иованъ/Glagolitic bibliography). Our still very incomplete offline bibliography could extend this online version by about a thousand entries, but I’ll have to break it up into manageable standalone userpages just to keep it within Wikipedia’s technical limitations as it grows.

Just so you know, the only “List of Glagolitic X” article that is up-to-date is List of Glagolitic inscriptions (16th century). For manuscripts, we’re at about 3700 in WML format, with about 1000 more offline, though we first need to publish an article we can cite for the new additions, mostly from Zadar. Our inscription lists have been practically complete for over a year now, but I’m having difficulty converting it to the new table format. Not nearly as much difficulty as with the updated version of List of Glagolitic printed works, which we are splitting into List of Glagolitic printed works (1481–1599), List of Glagolitic printed works (1600–1699), List of Glagolitic printed works (1700–1799), List of Glagolitic printed works (1800–1899), List of Glagolitic printed works (1900–1950), List of Glagolitic printed works (1950–2000) and List of Glagolitic printed works (2000–present). So far about 1500 titles.

You reverted an edit that I don’t think should have been reverted. I appreciate the heads up.

That being said, aggregates usually do not contain “somewhat,” nor is it something we use in comprehensive polling pages. I can’t think of a single election page, for example, where “I might vote for one” is listed as an option even though it’s a common question in actual polling. Not to mention the majority of polls on that page don’t have that option. While quality of polling is an entirely moot discussion for that page, which may as well be deleted due to lack of upkeep and sheer variety in recency and quality of polling, should we not use aggregates instead of a singular snapshot in time? Even right now I can find a quality poll that puts the guy’s total approval over 50% and another that puts it at barely 40. BobSmithME (talk) 10:16, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You’re right about aggregates being more accurate, and if it was Opinion polling on the second Trump presidency#Aggregate polls that is what we would use. Unfortunately, most countries’ heads of the executive only have approval polls once every 1–2 years.^[a] I’d rather not sacrifice 4 columns for the sake of 2, so instead I went with “whatever is latest” (that can fill all 6 columns). If you’d like to improve the article, it sure could use someone with a Gallup World Poll subscription (https://www.gallup.com/analytics/318923/world-poll-public-datasets.aspx). That data would allow the adding of many countries not currently on the list. Ⰻⱁⰲⰰⱀⱏ (ⰳⰾ) 10:29, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
