Feel free to address me in any language you feel comfortable in and think I may be able to understand. :)

I'm mainly active in Uralic (Ingrian, Karelian, Komi) and Cushitic (Afar, Saho, Sidamo) languages lately, but also Saterland Frisian and Tokelauan. I might occasionally wander the high seas and pick up a random grammar book and follow it, but that's not very consistent. Please feel free to approach me about any language I have worked in!

• All entries should have either of the following as attestation:
  1. Quotes
  2. References
  3. Derived terms (especially compounds), themselves sourced
• In etymologies, all intermediates should be given (except for these horrible cases like Proto-Nuclear Polynesian, where the parent is identical to the mother; actually, I think these should be merged). No skipping Old Polish or Proto-Kuki-Chin just because we already have an ancestor entry higher up.
• Terms should not be categorised in a topic with the same name. No, milk is not a type of milk, so it shouldn't be part of the category "Milk".
• All quotes and usage examples should have translations, as long as they are possible.
• LDL languages should get more love

Pretty sure some of these are already policy somewhere, but still a bunch of people ignore them.
