::::As for the following message I received today: "Could you make sure you understand the meaning of lùireach, gearradh-arm, seula, mapa and dealbh?" I understand their meanings, the problem is the person who created the templet didn't realize many, if not most, cities and towns in the US don't have flags or seals. The only thing that is necessary is displaying a map to show its location and a picture to show what the place looks like. If someone could go in and change the labeling, or show me how to do it, I would be more than happy to make the change myself. Better yet, if someone could create a new templet that only includes a map and a picture, then I will convert all templets over to the new one.[[Cleachdaiche:Jhendin|Jhendin]] ([[Deasbaireachd a' chleachdaiche:Jhendin|an deasbaireachd]]) 20:39, 11 dhen Iuchar 2017 (UTC)
:::::Susan, I just got your last message and I greatly appreciate you taking the time to write and to help me better understand matters. I'm going to read it through and will ponder over matters. I have no background in programming and don't know how to write code. This is where I am a handicap. I went through some of the stubs on US states and saw items on the template had been corrupted, like where it shows the largest city and also where it provides a link to the state's website. I don't know how to correct this. As I mentioned above I would like to have a templet for the cities and towns changed so that only a map and a picture is provided. There are other areas I would like to help in, so I will go thought your message carefully, and will get back in touch. In the mean time I would like to at least finish with the US states and cities so that everything looks uniform. Right now, things look half baked. Thanks again for your help, and if someone could help me create new templets I would be grateful.[[Cleachdaiche:Jhendin|Jhendin]] ([[Deasbaireachd a' chleachdaiche:Jhendin|an deasbaireachd]]) 21:19, 11 dhen Iuchar 2017 (UTC)
::::::I'm not sure I understand how the template for the one used for US states became corrupted. If I had a programming or code writing background I would be more than willing to try to correct it myself, but I don't. I've come to realize over the years the reason I never had any interest in computer language is there is no culture that is connected to it. Studying any spoken language involves learning the culture of the people who speak it. They go hand in hand. It's through the culture one discovers the heart of its people. And I would much rather connect to people than to a machine. This is also one of the reasons why I reached out to the Gàidhlig Wikipedia.
:::::::The only reason why I started up with Wikipedia again is because I've been receiving strange messages from Wikibots over the past couple of weeks. Why I suddenly started receiving them is a mystery. Focusing only on matters that would be of relevance to Scots is actually limiting their realm. That is not what Wikipedia is all about. There is more to life than what is just outside one's backdoor. I would like to finish the US states so that things look more polished and presentable, which is why I'm asking for assistance with the templates for the cities. One final note, I didn't appreciate the reference to Diddlytown in Arkansas. That came across to me as a step back into the classroom semantics of high school.[[Cleachdaiche:Jhendin|Jhendin]] ([[Deasbaireachd a' chleachdaiche:Jhendin|an deasbaireachd]]) 02:26, 12 dhen Iuchar 2017 (UTC)
