English entries in top-level topical categories
Hiya, if you find any topical categories with no language prefix with a lot of English entries in them, please tell me and I will do them by bot. Or, I can tell you what to put into AWB and you can do them yourself. Just saves time to be honest. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:30, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

حينَئذ
If like me you can't read Arabic script, you can check if the page title is identical to the headword using Ctrl + F (the find function) and copying and pasting the headword into the box. Also, diacritics are allowed in headwords but not page titles. Same as for Latin and for Serbo-Croatian (as two examples). I assume WT:About Arabic covers this. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Fixed. —  [Ric Laurent] — 21:12, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I think Mindraker should have a lecture over this matter. --Lo Ximiendo 21:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Honest mistake, there. Some online computer programs ignore the diacritics, some don't.  Didn't mean to duplicate your entries.  Mindraker 21:41, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

 * That's okay, but whose entries? I'm confused about whose entries (high-functioning autistic, by the way). --Lo Ximiendo 21:49, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

 * If you look at the list of interrogatives (Category:Arabic_interrogatives), you'll see that there is a list of words with diacritical marks (vowels) on them. And there is also the duplicate of the word "كيف" and "كَيْفَ" (since it has the Arabic vowels, and the other does not).  Mindraker 22:00, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Good pick-up. I fixed the remaining interrogatives. --Anatoli (обсудить) 01:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Azərbaycanca!
Do you have resources for Azeri? I'd be less nervous about you editing it if you did. —  [Ric Laurent] — 19:15, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I think she's just trying to match up the Cyrillic spellings with the Latin ones, but I'll let her answer that. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:20, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I was more concerned with the declensions, which are admittedly simpler than those of Turkish, but still aren't as simple as... uhh, I dunno, Esperanto or something like that. —  [Ric Laurent] — 19:33, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * To tell the truth, even though I have no books on the Azeri language, I used the Korean Wiktionary to look up the Cyrillic variants and the Azeri Wiktionary itself for the declensions (do they count as resources?). Can I say that I imported them? 0.0" --Lo Ximiendo 22:52, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Lol yeah, online resources count. —  [Ric Laurent] — 23:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

فضة
Hi, could you check the audio pronunciation on فضة? It sounds more like "qissa" to me, than "fissa". What do you think? Mindraker 01:02, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

 * The audio is wrong. The word is pronounced fíḍḍa, not qíṣṣa. --Anatoli (обсудить) 01:11, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * When it comes to audio clips, I'm a Cortado (Java) person because I think it's compatible to my computer. --Lo Ximiendo 01:12, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't understand what you're saying. What does compatibility has to do with the sound? The audio is for the wrong word. The audio on is for the word  "story", instead of  "silver". The letters are similar looking but they represent quite different sounds. --Anatoli (обсудить) 01:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I use Cortado because it works on my computer, I mean. Besides, I've never pronounced the two Arabic words properly before. --Lo Ximiendo 01:22, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I have removed the wrong audio. @Mindraker, you should address your questions to people who know or work with Arabic and stop ignoring requests. Perhaps, you should hold off with creating Arabic entries and learn some basics. --Anatoli (обсудить) 01:31, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Thank you for removing the audio, Atitarev. Mindraker 02:32, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

(please) Do not assume. —  [Ric Laurent] — 18:41, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Favourite words
What do they have in common? I mean, what do you think makes you like a particular word? Spelling, sound, definition, or a mixture? (Anyway, I've wondered about this, even though I don't keep a list of mine.) Equinox ◑ 21:49, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Mixture. --Lo Ximiendo 23:19, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

پاکستان
Hi Lo. I'm just letting you know that I'm undoing your (that undid my edit a bit before). Content that pertains to language-info should be in the language sections, even if all the sections are very similar. This logical separation helps safeguards against future errors and is essential for viewing setups like tabbed browsing. See WT:Todo/anomalous section0 content for more info.

Baklahorani song translation
I would have really appreciated it if you had got back to me concerning the translation you had asked me to help you with in the first place. Instead, you turned to other native Greek speakers (not that there's anything wrong with that, you just never answered back on my Talk Page before you do), didn't let me know of the progress of your project, and left me asking around for the lyrics of the song, so I could help you! The uploader of the video on YouTube just responded to me, I finished translating the song and was about to post it for you, only to discover that it was already done by other users! I mean WOW..! ♦ Jaxlarus 16:31, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You can still contribute your translation, if desired. There's nothing stopping you from doing that. (Constructive here?) --Lo Ximiendo 21:05, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

The bad jokes page
Hi. I felt like I needed to revert your edit because it was potentially slanderous. It looks like some kid was making fun of this guy who is from the Wigan area, and he might be the dad of some other kid that they were bullying, who knows. Anyway, I hate to be the killjoy, but I really don't think that we should keep these sorts of attack pages around. —Internoob 02:43, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry about that. I haven't heard of Mr. Pedley before, to be honest, but I think you're right. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 02:57, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Deletion discussion
Hi, was there a deletion discussion for removal of IMAG? You may have your reasons but it would be nice to know them and work together on improving this? But it simply says deleted? There seems to be no post to my talk page either. I had citations included to show notability. I do need help removing the plural part, and would love help on the syntax for the phonetic prounciation. Many thanks in advance DNSLOC (talk) 04:53, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

ok, about language knowledge
Ok, I added a Babel template, and language knowledge information on my user page.

But, currently i am adding Balochi words to wiktionary using 4 different sources, I compare them to each other, and if they match, I add the word, otherwise, I do not add it.

Thank you.--Forudgah (talk) 09:37, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

and about Hungarian words, it was about a long time ago and I forget about that, and never looked at my user page.--Forudgah (talk) 09:40, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Welcoming User: 109.13.145.105
Hello, thank you for your welcome. I am not new to Wikipedia (I began to add some bytes to Wiktionary and edits to Wikipedia last summer) and I am already registered as Air Miss, but there's something which does not work in our internet connexion and we can't log in normally for the moment. The problem is the same for my dad, бабай агъа: He can't do nothing. Sorry for these disturbances.

Perhaps could help him:
 * He would like to change бабай агъа into babay ağa (according to the official spelling of Crimean Tatar, as Cyrillic is not used by educatd people for 21 years), but the "machine" refused him the Latin spelling;
 * After creating his new account, he unlogged then tried unsuccessfully to log in again: nothing works now on his account... He is largely handicapped, he really needs help;
 * He needs to unify his former accounts: they usually have different names according to the language (I don't remember the username in Ukrainian, but he registered in June 2008, for the rest it's e.g. User:Kanġi Oĥanko in en, Qullanıcı:Kök maqam in crh, Bruker:Moskito in nb and Brukar:Moskito in nn, Участник:Быстрокрылая ворона in ru, and so on) into ONE fresh new one.

Thank you if can give him some help. --Air Miss

Thanks
I am very thankful for improving Telugu noun template. Can we add singular or pleural word in the template. Can you guide me, where to find the gender of a particular noun. Should we add the gender to Proper nouns template also. Kindly help me to further improve the Telugu nouns.Rajasekhar1961 (talk) 07:23, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Can you help and add pleural noun automatically to be shown in the singular form page and modify the template Rajasekhar1961 (talk) 10:07, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I have started writing about Category:Telugu verbs. There are about 50 common Telugu verbs now. Can you prepare a template for them accommodating verbs in different forms. Thanking you sir.Rajasekhar1961 (talk) 07:56, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If you can tell me what verb forms Telugu has. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 07:10, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * There are three basic forms like simple present; simple past and simple future for most of the Telugu verbs. We can go into the complicated forms later.Rajasekhar1961 (talk) 08:10, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Are we sure that there is gender for Telegu nouns? None of the other languages from India that I've been a part of (Kannada, mainly) have gender, so I was wondering if this was confirmed or not. Razorflame 18:02, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Question on Latvian terms needing attention
I have a question: how can I find out why a certain term (e.g., ala) is listed in the category Latvian terms needing attention? I changed it a little (added a nicer declension template, added pages for the inflected forms), but I don't know if any of my changes addressed whatever the reason was that got this word in the 'needing attention' category. --Pereru (talk) 00:19, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I could say that you can examine how works by clicking on 'Edit' to see that a declension type has to get listed when using it. If you ask me, I think it needs an update just like how User:Dick Laurent remodeled the template  (man, I wish he can mentor somebody about templates). --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

 * You should ask Mglovesfun about . He is the one who wrote most of it. I checked and  is definitely the problem. It seems to be asking for more than just gender, but I don’t know what. Mglovesfun should know and should be able to fix it. —Stephen (Talk) 02:02, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

timenda
I'm researching this word right now, but I probably won't be able to add this word for a while due to the fact that this term's translation is not readily accessible. I'll let you know when I figure it out. Razorflame 23:18, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Volapük
I noticed you're interested in Volapük, a language I also find fascinating. I probably won't be contributing to it here (one has, after all, only one life), but I was curious about the current state of affairs of the Volapükavöds in Vükivödabuk Linglänapükik... Are you the only person interested in it? What sources are you entering data from? --Pereru (talk) 01:27, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Other language versions of Wiktionary, as far as I remember. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 15:19, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Can you have a look to crolé ?

It suggested :
 * to add a form to all Walloon addjectives, the feminine plural preceding noun (a typical grammatical feature of Walloon, see : antéposé), always with -ès terminaison.
 * to have a template for addjectives with suffix -é, with the core = "word without -é", feminine -êye, etc.

isitulo/isihlalo
Hi! In Xhosa both words exist but they are not quite synonyms. Isitulo derives from Afrikaans stoel, meaning chair. Isihlalo derives from a Xhosa verb -hlala meaning to sit or to stay and isihlalo is more "seat" than chair. They are both class 7 words with a class 8 plural (izitulo/izihlalo).

Anonymous contributions
Just a trivial note. Your user page says: "I shed light on a mistake in the "ue" ligurature entry mistake." Two things: I think you meant "ligature", and you've said "mistake" twice: is that redundant? Equinox ◑ 23:43, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for the little edits you're making on the pages I'm creating. As I'm new here, they are extremely useful for me to understand the formatting here. I would very much appreciate if you can leave some guide notes for me on my talkpage so that I can avoid those repetitive errors and make you work a bit easier. Thanks again.

harm
A humble opinion: if we wanted mile-long lists of translation requests in each entry, we would probably embed their creation in trans-top -template. I bet 95% of those trreq's will remain there a year from now, and longer. --Hekaheka (talk) 18:37, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I agree partially. Some editors are not very fast in filling such requests but they do fill them eventually. I do fill some requests myself when I can and interested but too many requests just annoy people. See Dan Polansky's messages in BP and rfd. I would also take into consideration the following: are these most common words for communication (I agree that thought is such a word). Do we have any contributors in that language? Is this a state language with millions of speakers (no offense to speakers of regional and small languages)? Can you request some translations directly from active users? --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:55, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

If you want translations, perhaps WT:TRREQ would be more effective. I would definitely do Latin for you if it isn't too long (I can't guarantee quality for long passages in most other languages). —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 04:56, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

pl-noun
After your edits, these nouns appeared in the category Category:Polish nouns lacking gender, so it would be better if you stop doing this. And if you only change a template, please mark your edit as minor. Thank you. Maro 17:22, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Something is wrong with the template. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:21, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

 * You can try asking someone with template knowledge. The code for adding and displaying gender is there but it doesn't work. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:37, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

 * I think I fixed it, let me know if there are any more problems. The confusion was that the template accepted gender either as g= or as the first unnamed parameter, but the categories depended only on the first unnamed parameter and not on g= so any word that had instead of  was incorrectly categorized. Now, both methods should work. --WikiTiki89 08:17, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

 * You don't need to convert these to . My bot is doing it as I write this. If you have any other template updates to do, you can just ask me to do them for you. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:38, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Translation requests
I think that there is some agreement (see Beer parlour that blanket additions of translation requests is counter productive (real translations are hidden and people answering requests will be snowed under).

 * @Lo Ximiendo, currently song has many requests that will have to be removed. I don't think anyone will be able or is willing to fill those. Please consider removing those languages from your list. I only add Sinhalese if I'm lucky to find a translation, the resources are extremely poor. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:23, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * In case you're curious about where I got the Interlingue words for "song," I got them from the Interlingue Wiktionary. May I try looking for Sinhalese words or any Amharic ones? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 02:37, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

 * You can always try but Sinhalese wiktionary is barely alive (if not dead). I can share resources for other languages you put requests for but I hope you know what you're doing, as the words must be in lemma forms, gender and translit should be correct and most importantly - correct sense. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 04:31, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey, if you're adding trreq templates, you should keep doing so in Asturian, Catalan, Galician, and Occitan (to a lesser extent). I got Asturian down to as few translation requests as possible and working on the category is a task I really enjoy. Ultimateria (talk) 03:25, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Like alcohol or nicotine, please use in moderation, otherwise people will get upset again :). A few points again:
 * Resources for some languages are just too poor or almost absent. FL Wiki, online dictionaries, Wikpedia, available native speakers.
 * We don't need to many "I need ..." phrases translated. Some may even go eventually, as redundant or repetitive.
 * Please take a more active part in translations yourself, ask for help, learn. This will be more satisfying than just requesting others to do the job. You'll have to analyse the words and usages, though. I don't mind filling some translations and will continue doing it but there are only a few active editors willing to do it and usually for a small number of languages, not scores of them.
 * BTW, Some words have too many senses and if a similar sense has already been translated or its synonym, then you may just use that or work on verifying the senses, like white (a Belarusian request).
 * Perhaps the issue could be discussed at BP, like you, I do see the urgent need to add more translations for somewhat neglected languages. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:34, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Telugu lists
Thank you for making me aware about the Lists in wiktionary. Some states in India are still to be started because of some phonetic problem.

 * Then could you at least list the synonyms here so I could add them to the and  templates? (You can add my talk page to your watchlist if you want; I monitor mine.

Speedy deletion of entry for balenephobia
I am the entry creator for balenephobia. I sourced the entry in the edit summary because I am unsure how to reference in Wiktionary (I have never seen a references list on Wiktionary). I attempted to use the "New Entry Creator", which capitalized the word. If you check the Wiktionary source, it doesn't show the word (unless it's buried in the noun template) so I'm not sure how to change the capitalization.

The word itself is from a site with a very long list of phobias and their descriptions. If you know of a different term for a fear of needles, by all means, share it and redirect this definition. It is not aichmophobia, which is a fear of all sharp objects (broken glass, etc), not just needles, which is a different phobia.

I am also concerned that someone would so quickly mark an entry for deletion without giving reason in the discussion. You being the editor that marked it for deletion should NOT be the one deleting it, especially so soon after tagging it. Unless Wiktionary runs differently than Wikipedia (which I doubt), then you have not gone though the proper process.

 * One of your reasons was "capitalization" which, as I described above I'm not sure how to change given the template that Wiktionary is using for its new tool. It is something that you could fix yourself anyway. Did you check my source, or did you just decide that you've never heard of the word so it must not exist?
 * The other reason was "invention", which you have to prove. I have given a valid source. If you dispute that source then you need to use a different template.
 * Also, your delete tag refers to WT:CFI and WT:LOP for the criteria which I have not violated anything from either Zephalis (talk) 22:11, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

 * The source that you gave does not meet WT:CFI. How about a printed book for example? Equinox ◑ 22:12, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

 * What part of WT:CFI does it violate? The only thing I can see is maybe the widespread use issue, but that is contradicted my a simple Google search. A printed book source is difficult to check and even WT:CPI states that it's preferable if the book is in a digitized format. Also, there was no reference as to whether there was any fact checking done in the first place.
 * Either way, the National Library of Medicine is another, and quite valid source. Had there been a discussion on the topic, I could've provided other sources like that but again, I don't know how to properly reference in Wiktionary (it's not like Wikipedia).
 * I do see that I my first source did misspell it...should've been belonephobia, not balenephobia. Zephalis (talk) 22:38, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * WT:CFI requires that you provide a citation from a durably archived source that shows the term being used to convey meaning in the language. This is occasionally a source of confusion because people (like you) provide Wikipedia-style references, which do not actually show the term being used, but rather mentioned (see Use-mention distinction). What we require is a citation that shows someone actually using the word in running text with that meaning. The purpose of the citation is to demonstrate that people actually do use the word in English, and a list of phobias or a (medical) dictionary does not actually demonstrate that, because they are defining the term (i.e. "this word means...") rather than using it as part of the language. 22:48, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The PubMed source I gave is a use case. It's a digital copy of a published medical journal (in this case the Official journal of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners), specifically "Australian family physician 2006 Aug;35(8):623-4" (ISSN: 0300-8495). I still need to know how to, or more where to, place the reference. Also, the Google Ngram Viewer shows it's use history. Zephalis (talk) 23:07, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, we don't allow dictionaries or encyclopedias as sources to verify the usage of a word. They can be used to corroborate the meaning but they don't establish it. 23:51, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Dictionaries and encyclopedia's cannot be used as primary references, I know that part. But the use I'm showing isn't a dictionary, it's a published medical journal (specifically on the topic of a method of approaching patients that are belonephobic). PubMed is a medical journal repository, not a dictionary. Google's Ngram Viewer searches all published works and show usage of the word back into the '40s. It also shows usage in the 1890's, and although large gaps occasionally signify OCR problems, the 1890's was a huge period in western medicine. It's a valid word, it's in use, and should be included.
 * I'm rewriting the definition with a proper etymology (using the etymology of the word belonoid). I still need to know how to properly reference in Wiktionary though. I've rarely seen references on any page, and the help section doesn't have much information on references like Wikipedia does. Zephalis (talk) 00:21, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * There is Help:Citations, Quotations, References. But I suspect that if you recreate the entry without a valid citation someone will just delete it again. And if not, I will RFV it. 00:27, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw that page and Help:Footnotes, they aren't very helpful. I'll just create a references section according to Wikipedia's style-guide, since Wiktionary doesn't seem to have one. Aside from etymologies, definitions almost never have references linked directly to them, as you have to paraphrase them anyway or you risk a plagiarism violation due to the nature of what a definition is. I'm not sure exactly why this particular word is being targeted as most words on Wiktionary have no references! Examples: automobile, chemistry, physician, agoraphobia, car, etc. Zephalis (talk) 00:50, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It would be trivial to find three WT:CFI-compliant citations for any of those words, but not for yours. Equinox ◑ 00:53, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * If the words are so trivial then why are they in the dictionary in the first place? Show me a WT:CFI compliant citation for agoraphobia that is valid and not in a medical journal (since you seem quite averted to using them as references). Also, if they are so trivial why aren't they included? Why are there no references for effusion? Just because you don't know a word, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I've even found the source for the original journal, although they are only up to 2010 in their online available back issues though so the PDF isn't available yet. It shouldn't matter though because journal articles have always been valid references on Wikimedia pages. Zephalis (talk) 01:09, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * For agoraphobia, see e.g. . Note that these books are using the word in a sentence, not just defining it. Now you find three book citations using your word and we can happily add it. Equinox ◑ 01:11, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * * First, I'd like to see a Help: page saying you need "three book citations" to add a word to Wiktionary.
 * * Second, how do those citations constitute an editor's right to define the word?
 * * Third, just because it's in print doesn't mean it's used properly.
 * * Fourth, citing Google's book search engine is no different then me citing their Ngrams engine.
 * * Fifth, This is how we handle citation issues in Wikipedia Citing_sources. I'm sure the Wikimedia Foundation has the same ideas for Wiktionary despite them not being as readily written. Marking pages for speedy deletion is rarely the first resort. It is now especially obvious that you didn't even check if it was a real term given that if you would've bothered to do a Google Books search like you did with agoraphobia, you'd have seen your 3 citations. Not to mention it would've shown you that it was a spelling mistake carried over from the original source, which could have been corrected. Zephalis (talk) 01:54, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * No, you haven't read CFI properly. See use-mention distinction. I found one citation to help you. I can't find any others that count. Can you find two more? Equinox ◑ 02:01, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * # The relevant passage in WT:CFI says this: use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year (different requirements apply for certain languages). They don't have to be book citations, and we also allow citations from Usenet.
 * # Editors don't define words, they describe the word as it's used by English speakers. That's why there needs to be proof that English speakers use the word. A website that says "English speakers use this word" (or something to that effect) doesn't count, because that's not proof, that's just someone saying so.
 * # What is "properly"? See WT:NOT, point 2. Wiktionary describes, it does not prescribe or proscribe. So we're completely indifferent to whether something is being used correctly or not as that would be subjective, but documenting what actually is used is not subjective. Wiktionary is about what a language is, not what it should be.
 * # Again, as long as it's permanently recorded (to our standards), is proof of use and conveys meaning, then it counts.
 * # WT:WINW. But you're free to ask the foundation, of course. However, our practices have existed for a decade now so I don't think they disagree with them that much.
 * 02:29, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I did re-read the attestation requirements again and, yes, I admit I didn't see the 3 references part the first time. But I believe that makes three.
 * You found one (I'm not sure which)
 * Ungoliant found one [] (This is from the request verification page based on my redo of the definition; properly spelled this time) ==> belonephobia
 * And I found the journal article.
 * I think that the abstract of the article defines it right off the bat because people (even doctors) may not know the term, just that there is a fear of needles. That's actually how I found the term in the first place. The full text isn't available yet from the original publisher (I'd imagine they're digitizing in reverse order). I'm pretty sure from the abstract that it's used normally. I can't think of a context that it would be used in aside from someone saying that they, or someone else has it (which would likely result in a "what's that?", which would lead to a definition.
 * Oddly, I've even seen a few fiction novels with glossaries of terms that are used that might be unknown to most readers. It's definitely not one of the common phobias that people have heard of.
 * I'm aware of how long the Foundation's been around (Wikipedia member since 2006). My primary goals are actually linking, grammar, and fact checking (I'm not very good at writing encyclopedic prose, so I usually only write stub articles). I think one problem may stem from Wiktionary's help section being less refined and a little bit scattered in comparison to Wikipedia. Maybe I should look into that?
 * [slightly off topic] And I am still very confused as to the process of creating a new article. Again, I never really see references on Wiktionary and so I'm confused as to why my article got dumped so quickly. What can I do in the future to stop that from happening? Zephalis (talk) 03:59, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * There's no sure-fire way to prevent it except by providing citations. But people generally don't do that (it would get in the way of progress), so we have adopted the (unwritten, until I just added it to WT:WFW) practice that new entries don't need citations but they should always be provided through RFV if asked for. Think of it as having every entry start in limbo. The RFV then forces it to either come out and be verified, or get deleted. I don't think it's actually good form to delete plausible terms on sight, and I would say that this was a plausible term. However, it was spelled with a capital letter, which made it a lot less plausible, and we've already had to remove countless "phobias" that people make up but nobody ever uses, so that's probably why it got deleted. The proper step, if it had been spelled right, would have been to add to the article if an editor had been in doubt. Which is what happened now, anyway. Concerning the help section... You're welcome to improve things, but I would suggest staying around for a while first to get an idea of how things work. As for not being good at writing prose... I think you'll like Wiktionary then. :)  04:17, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw the citations section a couple hours ago and wasn't sure of the format so I looked at different words and you are right, it doesn't get done. I know people make up phobia names like crazy, and it doesn't help that there are hundreds of official ones. There's a grouping of 4 similar ones: tyrannophobia (injections), aichmophobia (anything sharp), enetophobia (pins [although I can't find the root word]), and belonephobia (pins and needles [although it apparently used to just be needles, given the root]).
 * I think the main reasons I've been fighting this all afternoon is because the more I looked it up, the more I could validate it; especially after taking the time to format it to Wiktionary standards only to have it flagged in minutes and deleted within the time it took me to type half my argument in it's discussion page about the flag.
 * The capitalization was from a copy and paste (I didn't even think to check it because the first word on Wikipedia is always capitalized (which is a pain). The misspelling was directly from the original source who I emailed to let him know it was wrong.
 * In the case of capitalization, how do you change that when it happens? Nowhere in the original source did it show the word itself. As for spelling errors, I'm guessing that's just a delete and remake issue. Zephalis (talk) 04:54, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Please do not mark something as Medieval Latin unless you know that for a fact. L&S give citations in their wonderful Latin dictionary, and here the citations are all pre-mediaeval. They often give a timeframe, as they do here, and Ov. (Ovid) and Verg. (Vergil) are both classical authors who are cited. The moral of the story: don't add information in a language you don't know if it's a total guess when it's easy to check what the truth is. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:26, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. Please don't edit languages you don't know. For example, when adding conjugations to Asturian verbs, many, almost all in fact, of them you added back in November were incorrect.

Latvian seasons
Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edits on Latvian, , and  -- the four seasons of the year -- because I think it better to use explicit lists rather than the  template. I don't mean any offense, I just think is too resource-intensive, and I don't really like its format. If you want, we can talk further about this. --Pereru (talk) 16:08, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Just wanna point out: The templates (which ironically don't actually use the  template itself anymore) are not that resource intensive that we can't afford to use them at all. The problem is only with very long pages that use many  templates. The Latvian seasons had perfectly fast loading times since the template was only used once on those pages. --WikiTiki89 16:25, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Regarding etymologies and rfes
I've seen you put rfe for Arabic verbs, but the rules for finding the roots for verbs are simple and I think you can easily guess the root yourself. Verbs like صبر and نجم which have different forms with specific repeated constants are always from an Arabic root consisted of those constants, and there's no exception, so it's correct. However, when the root is consisted of ی y, و w, or ء ʾ, it will produce more complicated forms in which the constant is replaced by vowel, or is omitted, like the verb قِ qi, "Stop!", which is from the root و ق ي w-q-y. In these cases, you can find the root from the forms which has shadda, such as زين zayyana, cause when ی y, و w, or ء ʾ have shadda, they won't be be omitted or replaced by vowels. --Z 15:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the Ladin language
Hello Sir, I hope this is the correct way to contact you. I'm Italian and my mother tongue is called Ladin. It is a Rhaeto-Romance language of about 30,000 speakers, spoken in the Italian Alps. It is very close to the Swiss Rumantsch. I would like to create a few entries in Ladin when I have time, in order to help to keep my mother tongue alive :) I have already been entering a few translations to English entries into Ladin. Here is an online dictionary for Ladin http://db2.pixxdb.net/voc_gh/deu/index.html Unfortunately it only contains translations from Ladin to German and vice versa, there are no translations into English. After entering only the translations, I started now to write proper entries as well, for example I have already entered the word "roa" which means landslide. However, if I look at the code for entries in other languages, I understand that there should be a template such as lld-noun and lld-verb, where lld is the international code for Ladin. Is this template necessary and how can I create it. I also don't know how I can create completely new pages. "roa" is a word in other languages as well, so I can just add the Ladin entry to them, but for words that are unique how do I create a new page? Thanks for helping. Alexander

You could follow the links on your welcome message or talk to if you request the creation of templates such as  and help with creating Ladin entries (after all, s/he seems interested in learning a Romance language).

Assigning a language family to Nalca
Hello Lo Ximiendo,

Hoping that I am doing this correctly, I would like to ask you a question. I have started adding a few entries in a language called Nalca, belonging to the Papuan language family of the Mek languages branch. As shown on Template:nlc, Nalca does not seem to have an assigned language family. However, when I try to edit this, I am told that the ability to edit the entry is locked. If you have the time, could you please tell me how would I go about to do this, or just simply whom I can contact? It is just sad to see Nalca without an assigned language family.

Arabic roots
Hi,

Since you've been editing a lot of Arabic root entries lately, depending on your needs, I recommend you to purchase Hans Wehr dictionary. It's the best recognised Arabic dictionary but it needs some getting used to, as the words arranged alphabetically by their roots. Then your edits won't need to "guess" the meanings of roots and most words derived form roots follow the root entry. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestion. I wonder about the price or whether the online version (if there is one) is ethical. Besides, I got myself a 2007 Hausa-English dictionary by Paul Newman, Yale University Press. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 03:33, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I saw somewhere a scanned version on a Russian website. It's quite awkward to use but if you get stuck and you need it, I'll do a search. The dictionary won't cost you an arm and a leg. Arabic is much harder than Hausa and the value of the information about Arabic is much higher, IMHO, not just because it's a hard language but because it's written in a difficult script and the root system of the language and of dictionaries is one of the things that puts off learners, providing this info is invaluable. There is no online dictionary that does it - apart from some verb conjugators. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:44, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Since I possess Paul Newman's Hausa-English dictionary, am I better off adding Hausa words? (Ignore the somewhat childish-sounding review.) If so, how do I create a reference template? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 04:11, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

 * There's no substitute for the actual knowledge of the language - a dictionary may have a word but for the wrong sense, wrong form or a meaning nuance. I don't think you need to add references - you just reveal that this info is from somewhere else. A dictionary just gives the comfort that the information may be right. You don't have to be a speaker of the language to add words in that language, of course but it depends on you. Do you check those words? Are you sure about the sense and usage, grammar info? Can you confirm the correctness by another source. I ask myself these questions when I add words in a language I don't know well. Even a superficial or temporary interest in a language is better than just a desire to fill gaps for missing words and missing languages, I think. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 04:21, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Rfe in Czech entries
I object to your adding to Czech entries. The template is going to idly sit in entries for ages, for no good purpose. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:39, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

The same with {rfp} and {rfe} for other languages. I don't mind adding sometimes an {rfp} template to an entry which looks weird and you don't know how to pronounce it, but I don't understand why you're adding {rfp} to every entry you see. It's very annoying. Tell me why are you doing this? Maro 20:05, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Explanation
I added it because it did not yet exist as an entry and needed defining. It is a very common and popular franchise format really. Restaurants like Hooters are breastaurants and if you bothered to Google it you would see how rampant its use is. I am assuming however that you never had heard of it yet, but I am sure for instance you will easily find it in any business or media publication.108.212.70.237 01:54, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

 * What should they be used for then? And if a language has different words for male and female policemen and sheep, it's a dictionary's job to acknowledge that fact, regardless of our personal opinions on gender theory. —Angr 11:59, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Ladin
Hi there. On searching the Italian version of Wikisource for words to add, I came across a totally unintelligible document - it was in Ladin. So, as you have noticed, I am adding Ladin words to the best of my ability. As you have worked with these words in the past, could you correct any of my mistakes. There is an increasing number of words in the "attention" category - mostly because I have come across a verb form and don't know what the infinitive is. I can't find a good Ladin (to English or to Italian) dictionary online, so am mostly using, as a Rosetta Stone, these two files and ] - they are more or less the same content in Ladin and Italin.

Russian hyphenation

 * Hi, Lo Ximiendo. I noticed in the entry добрый that you are not hyphenating Russian correctly. It looks like you are using English rules. Each language has its own rules of hyphenation. Some languages do not allow hyphenation at all.
 * Some examples of correct Russian hyphenation: до-брый, кни-га, во-да, на-у-ка, и-на-че, мo-лo-кo, по-ло-тно, о-бо-док, стра-на, ми-ни-а-тю-ра, дру-жба, пу-шка, и-зба, во-лна, вой-на, май-ка, кон-спект, Вол-га, пpин-тep, лай-нер, coн-ный, рас-счи-тан-ный, нe-вoc-тpe-бo-вaн-ный, oбъ-я-влe-ниe, кoм-пaнь-oн, cтpoй-кa, Сонь-ка, со-лом-ка, уез-жать, вить-ся, жмёт-ся. —Stephen (Talk) 03:04, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your correction; I never thought about that kind of hyphenation before. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 03:06, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Sorry for corrections but IMHO (this is how I learned and ru:wiki might confirm - may need to double-check): доб-рый, по-лот-но, друж-ба, пуш-ка, из-ба, вол-на. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:10, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

if it ain't broke, don't fix it
Edits like are completely unnecessary, and you may end up putting an incorrect pronunciation in the entry. The template is kind of experimental-ish. Sometimes it generates wrong syllable breaks, and I may have overlooked a few devoicing rules. I may need to rewrite it again. (My IPA is a bit shaky, too.)

may be even counter-productive. Say, someone wants to add another (non-standard? dialectal?) inflection — they will have to re-add the generic template. Keφr 15:35, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Apologies!
Hey, sorry. I just made an entry for every language I could find on Wikipedia for Ohio, and I didn't read my talk page until I was done. I am also a new user to the Danish Wikipedia, and I was there before here, so that's how I know the coding that I do. Really sorry, I feel like I made a mess. I'll try to go back to all those pages and separate the stuff with lines. Could you please help me correct all the pages so that they are how they should be (I don't know how to use templates for all those languages)? Thanks. Also, by the way, do you find all these links annoying, or do you think this is a clever way to write since Wiktionary has an entry for almost every word I could ever type?

Contributing the contents of bi-lingual dictionaries?
Hi

Thank you for the welcome on my user page.

Perhaps you can direct me to the right place.

I work as a consultant for the Dzongkha Development Commission (DDC), the national language authority of Bhutan. After talking to the head of the DDC and others concerned, and explaining what Wiktionary and the CCbySA license are, it seems we can contribute the data we have for English-Dzongkha, Dzongkha-English, Dzongkha-Dzongkha and Tibetan-Dzongkha Dictionaries - as well as separate data for Dzongkha homophones

Who should I contact about this? We have the data for these dictionaries in a MySQL database as well as in XDXF (XML) and StarDict formats.

spelling of تأصل is correct
When you created that page you put in a comment saying you weren't sure about the correct spelling of the hamza-over-alif. It's correct according to the standard hamza rules, which you can find on Hamza. All the Hamza rules are in ar-conj, so if you add conjugation to a verb, it will correctly spell the hamza of all forms in the conjugation, including alternatives that exist in some situations. Benwing (talk) 11:35, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Automating
I'm thinking actually that ar-verb needs to be automated like ar-conj so you don't have to type in any more info than what you type into ar-conj (except to clarify the radicals in a few cases), and it automatically figures out the radicals from the headword and generates the 3rd-person masculine singular past and non-past indicative. I added a comment to your talk page about this. You'd need to type in the form, the past/non-past vowels (for form I only), and the appropriate weak root (for augmented-form hollow/defective verbs). All the rest -- the forms themselves, their translation, etc., can be auto-generated. What do you think? Benwing (talk) 11:41, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm wondering what the diff is as well...seems like some stupid triviality resulting from a (nearly) identical character that should not exist IMO. I mean really, if there's a char. there that's different but not really then that's some seriously fucked up Unicode problem right there. >.> User: PalkiaX50 talk to meh 13:38, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * As far as I'm concerned, Latin/Roman g isn't the same as IPA /ɡ/ due to Unicode, I think as far as I could tell. We could access the Special characters keyboards when we edit entries. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 13:42, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not just Unicode. The Latin "g" can be of several shapes, including the simple tailed version using, but also the form of two circles joined, and a jot at the top right corner, as is common in fixed width fonts (this may or may not demonstrate, depending on your browser settings: ). IPA /ɡ/, on the other hand, only has one correct form. Keeping the code points separate means that a font can use whatever shape for the Latin "g", while still presenting a correct IPA /ɡ/ (eg.:  ). --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 22:02, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * For instance, you could have a look at ɡ|this and other IPA symbols, especially their Unicode codepoints. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 13:45, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Besides, CC made a discussion about the IPA keyboard at the beer parlor. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 13:49, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm...a noticeable diff I guess, but it seems because of stupid differences between what fonts are used where the diff is not perceivable everywhere; most annoyingly it is looking identical in the "entry diffs"!

Sacred Language of Sikhs
Hi. My one entry ਸੋਚੈ was edited, and language of this word was changed to Punjabi. I want to make a point that the language of Sikh scriptures is different from Modern Punjabi. It is a kind of a mixture of Punjabi and Hindi from 15th to 17th century. It is commonly known as Sant Bhasha. Christopher Shackle used the term 'Sacred Language of Sikhs' for this language and has given a noun declensions and verb conjugations different from Modern Punjabi. Even the book 'Indo-Aryan Languages' by George Cordona and Dhanesh Jain made a separate entry fro this language as 'Language of Adi Granth' or 'Language of Guru Granth Sahib'. Please suggest if can keep my entries under 'Sant Bhasha' rather than Punjabi.Thanks. Bhvintri (talk) 15:41, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

You no longer need to put head=, impf=, tr=, etc. For non-form-I, these parameters are actually ignored unless you add useparam=y. For form I, they are used, but you can also just specify the past/non-past vowels and they will be generated. Benwing (talk) 22:34, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Your Japanese articles are great otherwise. It's probably worth considering to increase quantity, sacrificing some quality, since you're a rare guest now and we don't have many regular productive editors for Japanese :) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:21, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Plural of magon
Hi! Thank you for your greetings! Since I'm new, I would like to know you [sic: your*] opinion on the correct way to express the following considerations on the plural of magon. There are at least 5-6 variants of Venetian, in my variant (spoken in north of Veneto), singular and plural forms do not have a suffix, the number is determined only by the article, while in other variants the plural is similar to the italian one. So in my variant it is, while in the other is. Should I put only the second one, which is the more widespread, or should I put both? Zagonico (talk) 10:16, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Feel free to add both. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 10:27, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you

Asking for a favour
Hello, I can't remember if you are an administrator but I think you are. I want to delete some information about myself on my talk page and then hide the edit so that it disappears. I have manually delelted the it but I would rather that it was totally deleted/hidden. If you could possibly do that I would be really grateful. I just chose to ask you because I noticed you are online. Thanks for any help. Kaixinguo (talk) 16:05, 15 December 2014 (UTC) Just to clarify, I mean the last section that I just deleted myself on my talk page. Kaixinguo (talk) 16:06, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

tugboat
tugboat??? That isn't Latvian word. I want fix it, but I don't understand why this word is in Category:Latvian terms with incomplete gender. --Čumbavamba (talk) 23:50, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It is simple: just replace the question mark with the gender that the translation belongs to. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 23:53, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Čumbavamba (talk) 00:00, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Peru
Peru is in feminine gender, but that is invariable word (loan word). Is this change correct? --Čumbavamba (talk) 23:57, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I wish I could ask about something like that, but Pereru is inactive. Besides, would you like to examine  and ? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 00:04, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * This must be correct! I don't understand, what do you want? What is with those templates? --Čumbavamba (talk) 00:23, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Not to worry, you got it right. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 00:26, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks
Dear Lo Ximiendo. Thank you for the information you gave me. As a newcomer to Wiktionary, your information have been very useful for me.

noslēpumains
Why noslēpumains is in Category:Translation requests (Latvian)? --Čumbavamba (talk) 18:42, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That has been bugging me. I wonder if it is some sort of glitch in the coding. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 12:27, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Excuse me. The example for the third definition requires English translation. I assume it is the cause of this problem. I have found that similar phenomena occur also in some Hebrew lemmas (e.g. in פסח, among which the quotation for the second definition of the Proper noun needs English translation). --Eryk Kij (talk) 18:14, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Czech entries and removing of head
I prefer that you stop removing heads from Czech nouns, like in. The head parameters are guaranteed to work, while the automatic determination of links for the component words is generally unreliable. --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:53, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Vocative in Latvian
This isn't true. 1st declesion words in vocative not always are without endings. In this case, word pilots in vocative also is pilots (without ending -s). I start discussion about this in Latvian Wiktionary. If word is propernoun, then word in vocative hasn't ending (-s). If word is common noun, then each word must appreciate individually (that is about only 1st declesion nouns). Need to modify Template:lv-decl-noun-1, because this template generated all nouns in vocative without ending at this moment. --Čumbavamba (talk) 08:34, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I want delete many entries of Latvian 1st declension words in vocative. Before I do it, I need accept. Here I start discussion. --Čumbavamba (talk) 10:44, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Flood flag
Hey again. Could you give me the flood flag please? I'm gonna add lots of Spanish plurals (without a bot) --Javier the Star (talk) 18:35, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Excuse me, what do you mean by a flood flag? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 18:56, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It's there in the user rights, and checking it makes the user's edits tagged as "bot" in the recent changes. And this user is wonderfool. --kc_kennylau (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Vietnamese Wiktionarian
Hi. What exactly is a Wiktionarian? I don't see any one from Vietnam on the list.Fumiko Take (talk) 10:24, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'll add the section of Vietnam for you. Besides, the word Wiktionarian itself is a blend of Wiktionary and dictionarian. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 15:24, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Oh. I thought not everyone could sign up their name to the list.Fumiko Take (talk) 03:46, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Minor edits on Georgian entries
Ill make your life easier. Use this. A new button will appear in the Tools section on the left.

Except that it can do this two (1, 2) edits at once it also does some other cleanup stuff like converting into  for every language.

This user script is tested but still may have some bugs and if you spot them please notify me ))

P.S. if you decide to save a page after only doing minor stuff please check the checkbox saying "This is a minor edit" before saving... --Dixtosa (talk) 19:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Categories for single-kanji Japanese entries
Thank you for your work on Japanese entries. It's much appreciated. :)

I noticed in some of your recent edits that you've been removing [[:Category:Japanese terms written with one Han script character]] and from single-kanji Japanese entries. When doing so, please also add to each etymology section. adds in both of these categories automatically.

piermirstams
In Latvian doesn't exist such word like piermirstams (see Special:WhatLinksHere/piermirstams). All of these entries must to delete. I think, that was mistake of similar word piemirstams. --Čumbavamba (talk) 20:27, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you see, once has been such word or not? If that was deleted, then need delete all bot generated entries too. I don't find this word in any dictionary, not like dialectal or archaic. --Čumbavamba (talk) 20:49, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I took care of the non-lemma forms. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 20:55, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * P.S. Now that I've been thinking about it, how about you let me know of other words you're uncertain about. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 20:58, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I think, that word is mistake. Word piemirstams is in Latvian not piermirstams (with extra r). We don't have piermirstamais too (must be piemirstamais). I found more word, which I heard first time:
 * nedievinājošs (see Special:WhatLinksHere/nedievinājošs, in Latvian is word nedievinošs)
 * dievinājošs (see Special:WhatLinksHere/dievinājošs, in Latvian is word dievinošs);
 * apmainījams (see Special:WhatLinksHere/apmainījams, in Latvian is word apmaināms).
 * If I understand, bot (GanimalBot) created these entries, but why? --Čumbavamba (talk) 13:06, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Hmmm... I was going for two examples per given name, just enough to show that the spelling is consistent. Unless you have a reason against that... --Pereru (talk) 08:21, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * (I also wondered if the given name should be in bold in the examples for consistency with common noun examples, but since it is so easy to see which is which I thought boldface would only make the examples uglier.) --Pereru (talk) 08:23, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lo Ximiendo, thanx a lot for your assistance.

Should хаттар be in Category:Bashkir plurals? Borovi4ok (talk) 12:47, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * According to "News for Editors" on the 17th of August, "The 'plurals' categories are now deprecated in favour of 'noun plural forms'." Therefore, I suggest making Category:Bashkir noun plural forms so you could transfer entries from the category you're talking about to the category that I am suggesting. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 12:52, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
