The Dothraki and Valyrian forums has been receiving an unprecedented level of spam as of late. I am doing my best to stay on top of it (in my experience, these go away in time). If you catch a suspicious post that I missed, mark it as spam, or PM me about it - Hrakkar

Here's an interesting article that is apparently from a French periodical. It addresses conlangs in general, and specifically mentions Dothraki, Klingon, Na'vi, Sindarin and Quenya. Examples of each languages are given. I can only understand bits of it, as I do not know much French.

That article is a few months old now. I thought there was a link to it somewhere else on here but I can't find it just now. The author got my email from David but never contacted me. Instead they took some phrases from the wiki.I believe parts of the Na'vi info was also taken from their forums rather than speaking directly with someone.

Hey,
found this url in a referrer linking to the wiki, is basically a blog entry around the amount of words for "kill" and the amount of synonyms in German/English.

Is it this link that is ultimately generating all the false registration attempts on the wiki right now?
