That IP

Hey Romanophile, congrats on passing your RfA here. I just wanted to let you know that I mass-reverted the contributions of the vandal here, but pages he created still exist. Not sure if you've found this yet, but Special:Nuke can very quickly clean those up.

Regards, Ajraddatz (talk) 07:46, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Though, some of his contributions seem to be fine. I typically just mass rollback since it denies them the recognition of seeing their work stay, but if some contributions are good and you feel they're worth keeping, let me know. I'd be glad to go back through them and undo the appropriate reverts.

Hi, I didn't ping you, but I responded to your message on my talk page. See w:Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Wikinger for some history. Regards, Ajraddatz (talk) 10:34, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the slow reply. You may be right that it's a different person, actually. That's interesting regarding the style of communication as well. If you think that they are editing in good faith, and they aren't being blocked on other projects, then I'll stop globally blocking the IPs and we'll see what happens. Thanks, Ajraddatz (talk) 00:45, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Hen's teeth
You rolled back my edit of hen's teeth without explanation. My edit was perfectly valid, your rollback looks like vandalism.

David.Boettcher (talk) 17:27, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, your edit was in good faith, and I have no reason to believe the information was wrong. The problem is that a dictionary is about words and phrases, not about subjects. For our purposes, it's enough to know that the term came from the fact that hens have no teeth. Anything else is beside the point, and gets in the way of the reader who just wants to know what "hen's teeth" means. The fact that they use the grit in their crops for the same purpose as teeth is interesting, and sounds like something that would be good in an encyclopedia article- but not in a dictionary.
 * I'm sorry I didn't have time to leave you a note, because you deserved better. Unfortunately, we only have time to look at new edits when they're made, and any problem gets lost among our 5 million entries if we don't deal with it on the spot. I hope you understand.

What is meant by "eating ulcer" in the seventh definition? ZFT (talk) 05:57, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * See this explanation. It's probably rare or obsolete, nowadays (I've certainly never heard of it before), but the term does exist. At any rate, it has absolutely nothing to do with "annoying". If you see something that doesn't seem to make sense, you either remove it or ask someone about it (the Tea room is probably the best place to post such a question). Mangling it and leaving it for dead just makes the confusion worse. Chuck Entz (talk) 08:57, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

 * To be clear, what is happening here is that has deleted a couple of talk pages where this anon in question, who afaik writes in a highly abbreviated shorthand due to a nasty case of repetitive strain injury preventing them from easily writing words in their entirety, had been discussing some Belgian Dutch terms (one of them I participated in). Presumably the pages got deleted because at first glance these comments look like gibberish, though they can be parsed without too much difficulty if one can be arsed. From what I can tell this particular anon got blocked in the past, but their current contributions seem valuable and in good faith, so perhaps a more tolerant approach could work better. — Kleio (t · c) 22:20, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Root entries
Regarding my edit on : do you think root entries should be excluded from the category (in this case, Category:Arabic terms belonging to the root س م ح)? Now that I think about it, it's sort of redundant since the root is already listed at the top. Module:ar-utilities can be modified to do that. — Eru·tuon 05:26, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Also, thank you for adding so many 1 parameters! I don't know how you're finding the entries that don't belong in the categories; it seems like wizardry to me. Or maybe there's a tool I don't know about? — Eru·tuon 05:29, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * No wizardry- I just looked for non-Arabic scripts and non-entry namespaces. As for your question: every root entry should have a link to its category, whether in the entry itself, or at the bottom. In the entry is better for general users, but at the bottom is easier from the point of view of guaranteeing that all entries have them. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:40, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Obviously. If there had been typos, I'm sure they would have been included, too. You need to learn how to do a Wiktionary etymology, and not just regurgitate bits of other (copyrighted) sources. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:35, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

 * : Please also understand that Wiktionary is not Wikipedia. The editor base here is much smaller, and we must quickly and efficiently patrol a large number of entries.

Can we fix this?
It's been a merry chase, but and I have probably been fending of this "Errors (Missing informations)" user for a while now. The user always has slightly different addresses like:    and so on. The user is devilishly close to being correct but does not listen to reason and causes great annoyance. Is there something we can do about this? — JohnC5 06:47, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * An abuse filter could block edits with that exact summary, but the user might well learn to use a different one. Equinox ◑ 13:34, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * I guess my two questions are whether there is an easy way to monitor all contributions from 2a01:cb05:8231:a600:****:****:****:**** addresses or, if worst comes to worst, block all those address for a little bit just as a deterrent. — JohnC5 21:14, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * There's a bunch of different IPs that like to use similar messages- "Added content", "Fixed typo", etc. Is there some menu somewhere that they get them from? It seems odd to me. DTLHS (talk) 21:51, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Apparently, those are fairly common and innocuous on Wikipedia. I do see a few good edits with those edit summaries on Wiktionary from time to time as well. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:00, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * There is a sysop-only option in the Per-browser preferences labeled "Adds a CIDR Range Contributions check to Special:User contributions" that lets you use wildcards in the search box there, so you can search on "2a01:cb05:8231:a600:*". It adds a line of text to the Special:Contributions page at the last minute, so you have to wait for the page to finish loading before you click anything, and it doesn't work on every browser (sometimes you can force it by clicking "User contributions" on the sidebar, but I haven't gotten it to work on Microsoft Edge).
 * As for blocking, I always use at least a 65-bit range block for IPv.6 addresses, because it's standard practice for ISPs to allocate everything within that range to a single user. In this case you would block "2a01:cb05:8231:a600:3550:718d:ec4c:6d46/65" (the last 4 16-bit numbers can be anything within the same range, such as "2a01:cb05:8231:a600:0:0:0:0"). Of course, this person has used a number of IPs in the past, as well as the Inkbolt account, so they obviously know how to get around such blocks. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:00, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I was worried about that. It's just quite annoying always having to check these things. Thanks for the info. — JohnC5 22:12, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * BTW (slightly off-topic) some vandals now use long strings of emoji (the ones that show up as coloured pictures). Should be relatively easy to detect as a likely vandalism sign. Equinox ◑ 19:11, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Recce
Hello! Yes, I think that the rollback is an error. "Recce" comes from OE "reccan". For further evidence see Bosworth's A Dictionary of Anglo-Saxon Language, p. 54r & 54v, it shows various compound words containing "recce", all derived from "reccan". I can't find any source corroborating the claim that it comes from a contraction of F "reconnaissance".--193.204.248.177 14:06, 13 February 2017 (UTC

Further evidence: G. Stephens' (Trans.): Two leaves of king Waldere's lay, a hitherto unknown Old-English epic, p. 82: "RECCE, 42, 3 s. pr. subj. of RECCAN, to reach, stretch, endure, last".--193.204.248.177 14:14, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You're ignoring a millennium of language change and a huge difference in meaning just because of a coincidental similarity in spelling. The usage quoted shows that recce is interchangeable in meaning with reconnaissance, the first syllable of the OE word sounded like modern English retch, and you haven't explained why there's no trace of usage for recce in the centuries since OE evolved into Middle English- unless you're suggesting that modern soldiers got it from Bosworth-Toller. I'm sorry, but that's just nuts. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:55, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * There is no source claiming that it derives from "reconnaissance", while we have at least three sources which trace it back to "reccan". I'm not saying that the "reconnaissance" hypothesis should be utterly excluded, but that both possible etymologies should be pointed out.--193.204.248.177 15:31, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * (Still me, 193.etc.) Here you have the conjugation of the verb RECCAN. It is RECCE in indicative first person singular and in subjunctive first, second and third person singular. Maybe its not relevant, but default Microsoft Office English Dictionary gives "to recce" as a general equivalent of "to explore".--87.0.38.170 17:16, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * From the Merriam-Webster entry:

 Definition of recce
 * reconnaissance

Origin and Etymology of recce

by shortening & alteration

First Known Use: 1941
 * ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 19:17, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

 * That refers to the noun meaning "reconnaissance", not to the verb meaning "to explore". It is possible that there are two etymological lines, one "recce" deriving from "reconnaissance" and another "recce" deriving from "reccan".--87.0.38.170 19:56, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The OED also says comes from : "< rec- (in reconnaissance n.) + -y suffix6. Compare earlier recco n., recon n.1". — Eru·tuon 20:25, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

 * (After edit conflict...) The noun → verb shift in usage patterns is so common in English that folks talk about "verbing a noun".  This is another such instance.
 * As another data point, Cambridge lists the same derivation. The senses there more clearly overlap with the "explore" sense you mention.
 * Alternatively, Oxford's entry derives the noun sense from and the verb sense explicitly from.
 * In terms of historical development, just about any Germanic-based OE term with double-c pronounced as shifted in spelling to .  C.f. 🇨🇬 → modern 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 → modern 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 → modern 🇨🇬, and even 🇨🇬 → modern (albeit rare) 🇨🇬 (despite an indicated  pronunciation of the  spelling -- @Chuck, is that correct?).  So this hypothesized 🇨🇬 → modern 🇨🇬 derivation is exceedingly unlikely just on the basis of the spelling, unless the modern language were borrowing it directly from OE sources.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 20:40, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Rollback
Hello Chuck,

I do think your rollback of my edit was in error. Why did you do it? -- Evan Rye (talk) 23:07, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * My main objection was the lack of a headword-line template, but I also mistakenly thought that the adverb section was duplicating the entry at . I see now that entry had only an adjective section (which is very similar in meaning to the adverb- hence my confusion). Feel free to put back the adverb section, but with the proper template(s)/formatting. I'm not sure, but it might be better to have a separate etymology section for the adverb, since it seems to be derived from the adjective rather than coming from the same Old Norse adjective that gave rise to that adjective. I don't know that much about Norwegian, so I'll leave it to your judgment. I've left our welcome template on your talk page so you have links to the information you need. Sorry for the error. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 02:55, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Philoxenia revert
Hi, I noticed your revert. It's because you feel that the word in Greek should be its own article, ("φιλοξενία") right? It's a very rare term in English, that's why I thought it should be merged in there. Discuss-Dubious (talk) 01:06, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Please read our Entry layout page and our Criteria for inclusion: our entries are strictly arranged by spelling in the correct scripts of all the languages. That means that Ancient Greek (which we treat as separate from [Modern] Greek), can never be on the same page as English. We have over 5 million entries, so combining terms like that would just make everything impossible to keep track of. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:30, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Most pages shouldn't be moved, ever. Is there a way we could automatically restrict pagemoves to admins only for, at the very least, all basic English words? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:07, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Automatically, no. Abuse filters have access to the the names of pages being moved, but not the content. There's an abuse filter that stops a lot of content-removal vandalism (I won't go into detail for obvious reasons), so now the vandals are adding redirects and moving pages. Basically, it's not possible to completely prevent this kind of thing- the goal is to slow them down and drain the fun out of it as much as you can.

 * One thing we can do is just protect pages when we visit them for other reasons. I already make a point of protecting any page I delete that's inherently unsuitable for an entry. I did that for a while, but didn't keep it up for long. That way the vandals don't get the satisfaction of disrupting our routine, but we slowly, but surely remove the obvious targets.

 * Another possibility might be to temporarily grant admin privileges to a bot and have it go through and protect the basic vocabulary categories. I don't know enough about bots to be sure whether the software allows it, but it might be worth checking into. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:16, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Right, here it is: mw:Manual:Pywikibot/protect.py. Could do that for CAT:English basic words, and that would certainly be useful. Who wants to run this? ? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:21, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It's possible to do, but I don't know about the utility. Just because we protect the first most common thousand words doesn't mean a vandal won't just move on to the 1001st. DTLHS (talk) 23:27, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Also there is this option. DTLHS (talk) 23:33, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Wait, can IPs move pages? I can't remember, but I feel like the pagemove vandalism comes from logged-in users. Would we restrict pagemoves to autopatrollers? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:05, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, can I please become an autropatroller? (If you let me, you'll get a pleasant surprise!) — AWESOME meeos ！ *  (не нажима́йте сюда́ [nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 05:55, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The procedure is for one admin to nominate, and another to approve, so I'm not about to do anything on my own. As for nominating you: I'm not qualified to assess most of your edits, but the pattern seems to be lots of routine, good edits interspersed with a few appalling lapses in judgment. As much as I appreciate the good edits, I can't ignore the bad ones as far as autopatroller status goes. The whole point of making someone an autopatroller is saving patrollers the trouble of checking edits we already know are always going to be good. I don't know that in your case.

 * As Chuck notes, autopatrol status is something that people earn over time, by establishing a consistent track record of constructive and non-problematic edits.
 * Also, I'm confused why it matters to you? Autopatrol status is a status, not a privilege or rank, and it only affects whether other editors see a marker on edit histories indicating that a given edit might need review.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 16:29, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

I made the edit to fix the list numbering, not sure why you reverted. Jc86035 (talk) 00:40, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

liklik
You say liklik means small. I think it means electric. I study ants. The people of PNG call Wasmania auropunctata the "liklik anis." I believe this follows the common name for W. auropunctata used in much of the Pacific: the electric ant. I have a flyer about W. auropuncta from PNG entitled "Lukaut Long Liklik Anis Nogut!!" I can send a copy. In a quick scan I saw that the word for accordion in liklik box, which sort of fits.

 * I don't remember discussing this, especially since I don't speak any of the indigenous languages of Papua New Guinea. Perhaps you were thinking of User:Metaknowledge, who has taught himself a bit of, which is what this seems to be. I suppose it's possible that liklik is derived from electric, but you would have to have some kind of evidence- we're a reference work, so guesses are a bad idea. Knowing Metaknowledge, I'm sure he got the information in the liklik entry from a reliable source.

 * As it is, I think referring to  as small would make perfect sense, since they are pretty tiny- they make Argentine ants look like mastodons by comparison (I believe that one of their common names is "little fire ant"). Occam's razor would suggest that we don't really need to look far afield for an answer when we already have a pretty decent one at hand.

 * By the way, if I remember correctly, the "electric ant" common name comes from the intensity of their stings, which supposedly feel like an electric shock, though it might also refer to the peculiar attraction to electrical wiring/equipment that some ants have (I think that applies more to the, but I haven't done much bug-related reading in a number of years). Chuck Entz (talk) 02:51, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Indeed, this is bizarre. I don't think my entries have ever been questioned by a rogue entomologist before. Obviously, the entry is correct as is.

There should be a live link going to Rensselaer County, New York rather than to Rensselaer but for some reason the link failed.RichardBond (talk) 14:13, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The problem is that this is Wiktionary, not Wikipedia, so we don't have an article on "Rensselaer County, New York" (nor do we want one). After a recent vote, Rensselaer County is technically allowed according to our Criteria for inclusion, but people are still debating about whether that's a good idea or not. At most, such an article would only deal with "Rensselaer County" as a term in the English language and not have any information about the place itself. You can link to Wikipedia's article by either directly wikilinking to it using the "w:" prefix, or you can use the w template with the name of the Wikipedia article as the first parameter.

Mass reverts and removals without proper discussion

 * водолей ety was unfinished: вода + лить + -∅
 * топь was traslated as swamp, marsh and produced from топить + -∅ I doubt it counts as "No usable content given"

 * You seem to be trying to say that водолей is made by removing the suffix from лить. I disagree with that, it is made from the imperative of лить (лей). Also, I don't think that -∅ is meaningful, even if лей was made by removing the ending from лить. —Stephen (Talk) 08:26, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * 1. I didn't. What suffix "лить" can have?
 * ть is a verbal inflection, not a morph, isn't?
 * 2. 1079 describes alternate vowels (и-е, а-е, и-е, null-е)

I recommend to stay on topic in any situation
You're simply wasting your and everyone else time pointing general statements "you don't know everything; please be careful; you may or may not be wrong" instead of actual advices.

I had section about "my edits in etymologies" at my user page, but you decided to discuss professors and professional linguists here and to overstate a lot about "my edits".

I would absolutely okay if you say that my edits should be placed elsewhere and doesn't belong to etymology section.

Re: Dominus entry
Hello. I see that you undid my edits to the Latin Dominus entry. Not a big deal, but I'd just like to point out that my edits were not irrelevant.
 * 1. In Christian usage, "Dominus" is not synonymous with "God the Father" (as the entry currently states). "Dominus" can refer to "God the Father", the first person of the blessed Trinity, but it can also be used in reference to the other two persons as well. More often it's used in reference to the second person, Christ. Strictly speaking, "Dominus" refers not to the person but to the nature. It is for this reason that a usage note must be given, explaining that while the three persons can each be referred to as "Dominus", that it is not a correct Christian usage to refer to them collectively as three "Domini" (this was explicitly condemned in the Athanasian Creed; no Christian writer ever used it in that way, and I'm not sure any writer at all ever used it that way).
 * 2. Also in Christian usage, "Dominus" appears in the Vulgate in place of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (similar to the Jewish practice of vocalizing the Tetragrammaton as "Adonai", "my Lord"). This usage is distinct from the first sense though there's obviously some overlap.
 * 3. In Christian usage, "Dominus" can also be used as an honorific title for God (Jesus in particular), e.g. "Veni, Domine Jesu" "Come, Lord Jesus." (Apocalypse 22:20). Again, similar to the other two senses, but distinct.
 * 4. In translating from the Latin into English, "Dominus" (especially in the second sense) was often translated as "our Lord" in older (i.e. Medieval and Renaissance) Christian texts. This is a historical fact and I figured it was worth mentioning, though I don't think scholars these days would ever translate "Dominus" into English as "our Lord".

If you'd like to re-implement my original edits then go ahead, but I'm not going to try to make this into an edit war. 98.115.103.26 17:31, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

zeveraar
Hi Chuck, you reverted my edit on the Dutch "zeveraar". Any problem with it? Driveler is, in my view, the closest (actually perfect) translation, as both drivel and zever refer to saliva as well as to nonsense. By the way, the text citation is funny, but may not be the best illustration of the usage of the word. Cheers Riyadi (talk) 08:10, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The purpose of an English translation in the definition line is for the readers to understand what the word means, not to check off boxes in a semantic checklist. The sense of drivel referring to saliva is so archaic as to be pretty much obsolete for most speakers, who are only really familiar with the noun sense referring to nonsense. For them, your addition will just look like an odd way to say "speaks nonsense". Chuck Entz (talk) 17:46, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Move protect at Citations:black
Understandable why you did it, but out of curiosity, what incentive caused you to make such an action? Theoretically you could do this with hundreds of other well-established English citation pages, but in this case, there never seemed to be any problems with users moving that particular Citations:black page? PseudoSkull (talk) 04:37, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Nothing special about that particular entry. If you look at my contributions, you'll notice I protected about 80 other pages at about the same time. There's no real downside to adding move protection for well-attested entries, except the time it takes. There's never going to be a reason to move any of them, and anything to drain some of the fun out of the game is worth the time. You can't stop them completely, but you can waste their time and make vandalism more of a chore. The nice part is that you only have to do it once, so a little bit here and a little bit there adds up over time. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:55, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

foolish
Hey. Why did you protect this page? --Celui qui crée ébauches de football anglais (talk) 19:27, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Why not? Will anyone ever need to move it to a new spelling?. I figure the longer it takes for a page-move vandal to find an unprotected page, the less fun it is to be a page-move vandal. Having a bot do it would be a waste of resources: there's an abuse filter that prevents anything large-scale, so it's not a huge problem. I don't spend a lot of time on it, and I make a game out of so I don't get bored. I'll probably never protect everything, but I don't have to. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:11, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
 * A game, huh? We could make it into WT:FUN. I can't see much uptake by the community, though. Speaking of games, it'd be nice to have some games for non-regular-users to play on this website, to make the place more lively and fun. In fact, a few of the ideas in Category:Wiktionary fun stuff could probably be made into some interactive games for everyday guys. Personally, I know nothing about coding or whatever to get this started. I just like playing games. --Celui qui crée ébauches de football anglais (talk) 09:15, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Appendix:Taxonomy_reference_templates
I've created this appendix to help understand what external databases can provide useful information for taxa. (I'd forgotten about some of the sources.) It is a bit of a stub now.

I think I'd like to convert it to a sortable table and put any detail in the documentation for each template. the sort fields would include range of coverage (Biota, Mammalia, Hydrozoa, etc), whether there were translations, English vernacular names, etymology, classifications, type data, useful reading, images, copyright info.

I'd appreciate any thoughts you had about how it might be improved, as well as any corrections, additions, etc. DCDuring (talk) 20:05, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Personal attacks
I think you'd better stop these cheap personal attacks on me. If you have an issue, be a man and use my talk page or something. It's becoming tiring over the years. Like your, "This may have started out as an anti-CodeCat grudge reflex- a rather annoying ethical blind spot in someone who takes great pains to be ethically correct- but in general I don't like the idea of wrapping large blocks of text in templates when it's not absolutely necessary." What's that? I want to get rid of def, so I started a vote, and when that it did not help, I naturally started RFDO. What does that have to do with CodeCat other than that they created the template? Do you think that I run around, seeking out things that CodeCat does so that I may oppose them even though I actually like them? Guess what, I really do want def gone. Give me a break. And if you really insist on criticizing me on occassons that should really be about the substance at hand, here def, please do me a favor and name me as the person concerned rather than "someone".

I thought unfounded speculations about bad motives of other people were considered personal attacks, and were discouraged at Mediawiki projects. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:59, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Reversions in "left radicals"
Any reasons why my water and heart left radical edits are undone? I'm already experienced in editing articles. Thanks, 64.134.237.39 23:32, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Because your formatting was all wrong, leading to module errors elsewhere on the pages, your etymology didn't make sense for a radical, and treating a radical as an alternative spelling of a regular character seemed to me like a really bad idea.

 * First of all, having a numbered etymology means that you have to nest everything within that etymology section by adding a single "=" on each side of the headers to make the headers one level lower- not two levels. It's also an exception to our usual rules about what level each header is, so we try to avoid using numbered etymology sections whenever possible- you should never have an "===Etymology 1===" header unless there are other etymology sections in the same language section. Never use an "===Etymology 1===" header unless there's also an "===Etymology 2===".
 * Secondly, radicals aren't words, they're elements of the writing system. Yes, they can affect the meaning and the pronunciation of the characters, but they aren't used by themselves as actual words- though there may be characters that are written the same, those aren't radicals and the radicals themselves aren't characters in the same way as something like 上.
 * Third, you got other things mixed up: I'm not sure what 立心偏 is (the name of the glyph?), but it's not the primary spelling of 忄. One could make an argument for the character 心, though I would disagree for the reasons I gave above. In English, one would give the names of the letters in the word Asia as "capital a ess i a". That doesn't make a an alternative spelling of "capital a", nor does it make s an alternative spelling of "ess". Given that the radicals are a very basic, elementary part of Japanese, the fact that we don't have entries for any of the things you linked to should be a big red flag. The category "Pages with module errors" at the bottom of the page should have been another clue that something was very, very wrong.
 * I'm sure there are a number of other problems with your edits, but I don't have the time nor the knowledge of Japanese to explain them all. I have a degree in linguistics and I've made almost a hundred thousand edits, including creation of a couple of thousand entres in the 6 1/2 years I've been here at Wiktionary, and I don't feel comfortable editing Japanese entries except to correct obvious errors or vandalism. You need to learn more before you make these kinds of edits. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 01:10, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I was aware the module errors on the "Chinese" heading above the "Japanese" heading after the edit(s). Would be better if I edited the whole page so those errors can be clearly seen; thanks for the tip(s). The "alternative spelling" is the actual kun-reading in kanji, according to the Japanese dictionaries. Will be more careful regarding errors next time.

I also like to hide what I call grafitti, but that's just me. As for how: you should have "change visibility" links all over the place. Just select the appropriate edit, click on "change visibility", and set it to hide the text of the edit (and the summary, if the bad content shows up in the edit summary, even as a section header).

Rollback error
https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Requests_for_verification/English&diff=47240971&oldid=47240702 ''Reverted edits by 37.125.196.28. If you think this rollback is in error, please leave a message on my talk page.'' Um yes, this is my fault. I added a comment some edits back, but while I was typing the page had changed. So I copied+pasted my response to the changed page, but accidentically copied too much and duplicated the message from Pedrianaplant. 37.125.196.28 had been very nice by removing that erroneous duplication. Already fixed it myself. (doesn't seem controversial to me) For reference, this is the edit where I accidentally duplicated that line: https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Requests_for_verification/English&diff=47240146&oldid=47240037.

 * It would have been tidier if you had given me a chance to revert myself, but let's not add this to the list of 427 (note: not to be taken literally) subjects that you've talked to death, followed by talking their poor, battered corpses into thousands of smouldering fragments, and finally by talking about the fact that you've been talking about them, which will eventually lead to the universe collapsing under the sheer weight of verbiage into a singularity and blinking out (though perhaps I'm exaggerating a wee bit)... Chuck Entz (talk) 04:09, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I figured while typing I would save you a few clicks and put this message here anyway so you would still know this wasn't vandalism by 37.125.196.28.

But thanks for clearing this up.
 * I'm sorry I snapped at you- I was tired and grumpy. For what it's worth, you've made a lot of good contributions, but it's hard to ignore the ill-considered quick responses, weighing in on subjects you don't know, explanations of explanations, and just general filler that have gone along with them.
 * You need to learn to do your thinking before you click "Publish changes". It may not seem like it, but there are a number of times this week when I clicked "Cancel" after working a on a message for a good while because I was too tired or didn't have enough time to do the subject justice, or because I did some checking while I was composing the message and discovered I had misunderstood something. You seem to be compelled to say something about everything, whether you truly have anything worthwhile to add.
 * Also, the large number of fiddly little corrections tells me you aren't previewing and proofreading your messages enough beforehand. I look for typos, check if my wikitext and links work, and just generally go over everything to make sure my message is saying what I want it to say before saving it. Being able to talk at length on any subject isn't all that impressive, it's being able to say just as much in only a few words and to get it right that's impressive. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:18, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Barely, if at all, an improvement.
 * I had a nice (short, just a few lines) reply written. But your advice is nothing new to me, so that's gone. Because it tried to explain things, with reasons. Which you don't like. So let's explain nothing and just say what I want to say:
 * You understand nothing. Nearly all of your assumptions are wrong. I blame myself - for thinking you were nice. That was by far the biggest mistake I've made here.
 * And despite that, I thank you. Thank you. For setting me free. W3ird N3rd (talk) 10:59, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't respond to this right away, because it's too easy to just add fuel to the fire. I don't know if you'll ever read this, but, for the record: I apologized for my epically tactless outburst above because I shouldn't have said any of it. What followed was not an attempt to excuse what came before it, but a sincere attempt to give you some advice. I do try to be nice, but my main priority is being honest
 * I may have erred in the diagnosis, but there was definitely something amiss in the way you were participating in the forums. There was a definite busy-ness about it, as if you were unable to leave anything unanswered or un-commented-on for even a minute. For instance, commenting on how you thought maybe an English-language show might have used an expression, but you weren't sure because you were only paying attention to the Dutch subtitles, added nothing to the discussion except verbiage. Then there were the innumerable corrections and explanations. Like many regulars here I read the forums by going through the diffs from the oldest to the newest. You single-handedly doubled the time spent to keep current.
 * In retrospect, it looks to me like you were far too emotionally invested in your role here. Regardless of my faults (I certainly have my share), if it requires an action by someone else to "set [you] free", something's seriously wrong. The fact that you were talking about something that people work on in their spare time, rather than love or marriage or some other major life choice, makes it all the more obvious. Even if I had been perfect in my responses, the mismatch between what you were putting in and what one could reasonably expect to get out of it would have led to trouble eventually. Good luck, and I hope you get things straightened out. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:12, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * "For instance, commenting on how you thought maybe an English-language show might have used an expression, but you weren't sure because you were only paying attention to the Dutch subtitles, added nothing to the discussion except verbiage."
 * I (still) think I've heard Alan say it and I had searched all the English subtitles for all episodes of all seasons, so you're just making stuff up. If Alan said it, the subtitles may have skipped over it or translated it to "Thank you". Being a show many people have seen, there was a fair chance that if he really did say it, someone else would remember in what episode or at least what context so I could track it down, which would result in a citation.
 * Putting your poor example aside, I won't say I have no personal flaws. Nobody made it clear (or has been too subtle about, or I overlooked it) I was commenting on too many things. I thought I was doing people here a favor by providing new angles but thanks to your outburst, I now know this was not the case. And this way, it also saves me the time of doing any more work on the dictionary. I just don't care anymore and there's no way to fix that. There's no need for any kind of apology because I'm not even mad. I'll be passively checking my watchlist for a few days to see how some ongoing cases develop, but after that you shouldn't expect any response. W3ird N3rd (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * So he's becoming a little obsessed with Wiktionary and it's all getting to his head. I've been there too. Personally, I find W3ird N3rd's persistence to be kind of amusing, to say the least. This user is quite a character. When I first saw WN I thought it could be another Wonderfool sock or another troll. It became clear that, though WN might be blunt, sarcastic, very tied to their opinion, or obsessive, I definitely believe the user means well and is contributing meaningfully. PseudoSkull (talk) 23:44, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I would agree with all of the above, but I suspect they've left for good. I certainly didn't mean to drive them off, and I wish they could have learned to not burn themselves out for nothing and to take things in stride. Even so, it may have turned out better to have brought things to a head here and now rather than letting things slowly get worse and blow up in more painful and ugly ways later on. Not that I'm congratulating myself- an admin shouldn't say things like that. Ever. I was trying to keep my annoyance in check until I could figure out how to tactfully ask them to ease off a bit, but I just lost it. Chuck Entz (talk) 00:13, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * They? Them? How many people am I? I've always found this an odd way of averting the he/she conundrum. I don't really care if you say he or she, those are just words. W3ird N3rd (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. While I may appear to be tied to my opinion, I'm always open to hearing arguments why I should change it. People often get confused when as a result of that, I actually do change my opinion. As rare as love and compassion seem to be, at least there's no shortage of misunderstanding in the world we live in.
 * I found the link to your old user page very amusing. It's quite relatable. Except for the last line maybe, but perhaps that's just because I'm Dutch. It describes really what I meant. This site could have been an addiction, but for the forseeable future (if ever) it won't be. It's like having to smoke the entire pack when you get caught. With any luck, you'll never touch another cigarette in your life. All it has to take is one bad experience early on. W3ird N3rd (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

'amiwoki
I notice that the apostrophe is missing from the headword line. Is that a mistake? —CodeCat 15:06, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. I'll have to look it up when I get home re: the glottal stop, because this is a loanword, but there's no way the headword should be different from the entry name in that respect. Accent marking is the only real reason I used the head parameter- IIRC, everything else is the same. Thanks for spotting that! Chuck Entz (talk) 02:20, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Your revert
Hi! I respectfully disagree with your revert of my recent edit to de minimis non curat lex. The reason for the edit was that each word in that phrase is a Latin word, not an English one. Although some of the words have English definitions, those have nothing to do with their meaning in the phrase. I thus changed the template to create links to the Latin forms, as they would be of significantly more help. For instance, in english lex means "To perform lexical analysis; to convert a character stream to a token stream as a preliminary to parsing", while in Latin lex means a law, which is the relevant sense in the phrase. I therefore request that you either change it back or give me permission to do so.

Thanks, Tamwin (talk) 23:15, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

The Godley
revert why?
 * The term you're looking for is simply a capitalized version of godly. Any adjective can be used as a capitalized title, so I would question whether we need an entry for "Godly". That issue aside, the Puritans didn't call themselves Godley (with an "e"), but Godly (with no "e"), so your edit was simply a mistake. This was especially obvious since your quotes used the spelling without the "e". Please pay attention to what you're doing. Chuck Entz (talk) 12:13, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

whereas
I changed the definition link from "on the contrary" to "on the contrary". It would be helpful for you to explain why you object to this but not "inasmuch as" as seen in the second definition instead of rollbacking without an explanation. 93 (talk) 23:44, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

yo wtf dude why did you revert all the edits on mut? Which one was problematic? There's gotta be a more precise way to do that. Word dewd544 (talk) 16:46, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The fact that you even have to ask that question speaks volumes: Just looking in the edit history at the for the edit I reverted should have told you all you needed to know. I don't understand how you could make such a massive change in multiple language sections without even previewing your edit.  If you had, I think the module errors saying "Proto-Albanian is not an ancestor of Serbo-Croatian" would have been a dead giveaway that something was massively wrong, namely that you changed the language codes in the Albanian section from "sq" to "sh".
 * I don't revert your edits to be difficult or officious, but to get you to stop and look at what you're doing. Please be more careful. 21:51, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. I just figured you would have changed that specific part about the Albanian entry instead of the whole edit. I need to stop editing while drinking lol. I guess I'm trying to get through this as fast as possible and rushing sometimes. Word dewd544 (talk) 22:38, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Gieschen
(Moved from wrong talk page.) Hi! I noticed you removed a large portion of information on the entry. I realize that you do not trust the content, as you mentioned, and I thank you for your due diligence. However, you can ask about any points in the entry I created, or better yet you can research them and find that everything is accurate. If you are unable to verify the information, please let me know. Otherwise, please revert your edits. Thanks a bunch! Mtsuzuki (talk) 17:46, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You're mistaken. I was the one who removed the content, which was inappropriate for a dictionary. Please see our Criteria for inclusion. We don't include references to individuals, and we're very restrictive about commercial entities. Please stop trying to use Wiktionary to promote your company. Chuck Entz (talk) 18:20, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for posting on the wrong page, and thanks for the link. I see that individuals are sometimes included under a Wiktionary entry, like Martin Luther here, Luther. Or Barack Obama, here, Obama. So what exactly qualifies a person to be added into a Wiktionary entry? There are actually a few people with the surname "Gieschen" that have made news quite often in the past and at present. And as for a company, I see that there must be attestation by either widespread use or by permanently recorded media. So what qualifies as widespread use? And does 3 independent instances spanning a year guarantee inclusion in the entry? Thanks in advance for any direction! Mtsuzuki (talk) 01:36, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Just following up. The Criteria for Inclusion definitely helps, but I've still got those questions above. Thanks! Mtsuzuki (talk) 23:06, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The rfv template should only be removed by the person closing the discussion at WT:RFVN. Removing it won't keep the entry from being deleted- in fact, it might keep people from posting the quotes needed to save the entry.

work in
Why did you revert this?
 * Not everything that contains the parts of a phrasal verb is that phrasal verb. Working butter into a batter is just working + in. Even if you consider it to be a phrasal verb, it's not the same sense- working butter into batter involves a physical action using hands or utensils, something along the lines of kneading or stirring to make a homogeneous mixture of the two. Working someone/something into one's schedule is an abstraction based on metaphorically moving things around to get them to fit in a space. Your attempt at a definition to cover both isn't a very good fit for either. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:04, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit?
Hey,

I just saw that you reverted my edit on the Wiktionary entry “island”. I think that you accidentally did this because you wanted only images of islands without skyscrapers. I’ve been to Singapore before so I posted an image of an island with skyscrapers there!

What’s wrong with you these days??? ☹ Little Jackie (talk) 01:35, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * There are islands with mountains, deserts, unique flightless birds, very large and very small animals of all types, strange plants, lava flows, ice floes, ancient ruins, lavish resorts, huts, and, yes, skyscrapers. This is a dictionary. We deal with words and phrases, not the things they refer to. We can't possibly illustrate all possible permutations of what an island can be, so we shouldn't even begin to try. As a dictionary, we just need to show a piece of land surrounded by water, which the present image does. The vast variation in what can be seen on islands is the job of an encyclopedia. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:09, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Again! You reverted my edit on the word 'city'! Singapore is both an island and a city, in which will become the word city-state if you mix them up! Why did you do that? Little Jackie (talk) 11:56, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

 * I do not think that the pictures were illustrative of the concepts, they rather distorted them. It is not a property of islands to have skyscrapers on them, for the entry, and that picture did not really show the city, for the entry , it was mostly water and only a tiny cut of buildings. Palaestrator verborum (loquier) 12:51, 7 November 2017 (UTC) Also, lol, why didn’t you do the obvious thing and add a cool areal view of Singapore to the entry ? Palaestrator verborum (loquier) 12:55, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Wiktionary has thousands of contributors from all over the world, and many of us live in cities that have nice pictures in Commons:

Rollback of "bigotry" is an error

boke
Do you have a source for the etymology and the second sense of "to thrust"? I was going by Oxford Zacwill (talk) 16:36, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * We're a descriptive dictionary, so we don't take the word of another dictionary (even the OED) as to whether a term or meaning exists (content of etymologies is another matter) for a well-documented language such as English. If you don't believe a term exists in English, add en or, if it's just one sense, en, then add a topic to WT:RFVE using the "+" created by the template. Chuck Entz (talk) 23:21, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Cebuano numbers
Those edits are correct. I am a native speaker. You can check me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/josefwintzent).

Etymologies of these numbers should coincide with Tagalog numbers as they are of the same family. The none numerical meaning of usa though such as deer is exclussively Tagalog and does not apply to Cebuano. Same goes with upat and napolo. Josefwintzent Libot (talk) 22:33, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

, will you please tell this guy that I am a bona fide native speaker of Cebuano. He keeps removing my edits. Josefwintzent Libot (talk) 22:44, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I've been reverting you because you're destroying the formatting, and leaving wreckage from the deleted material. Please see WT:EL. Also, we don't just remove large blocks of content like that, unless it's vandalism or done by someone who knows absolutely nothing about the language. In the case of usa, the person who added it seems to be a native speaker as well, so you should respect their efforts and follow our process:
 * If you think a term is never used in the language (see WT:CFI for the rules), add the rfv template as in  (ceb is the language code for Cebuano- if the term is in another language use another language code). If you're only challenging one sense, add rfv-sense on the same line as that sense. Once you've done that, you should click on the "+" created by the template, which starts a topic at WT:RFVN, and explain your reason there. If no one can find enough evidence that the term or sense is used in the language, it will be deleted. Chuck Entz (talk) 23:04, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Sorry for the USA deletion. But in that case, why the other edits prior to that are deleted too? In the case of manok, I have not deleted anything. All I did is to add another contextual meaning. For example, in the Cebuano sentence, Kinsa may manok mo karong eleksiyona? The manok there does not mean chicken for sure. Josefwintzent Libot (talk) 23:23, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Manok was more of an overreaction to misuse of "" (it should only be used between language sections). Sorry about that. Chuck Entz (talk) 23:32, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying the rule for. Anyway, what is the rule for words that have same spelling but are really different from each other? There are a lot of that in Cebuano as we do not reflect the glottal stop (? in IPA) in the written form of the language. These words being different from each other often have separate and distinct etymologies too.

Another problem is in Cebuano the pronunciation are often context specific. Like for example, the word baga. Meaning changes as the stress shifts as well with the absence of glottal stop. Bagà means anither thing from bagâ which also means another thing from bagá which also has a slight difference of meaning from baga. Take note that they are all spelled as baga.

How should I reflect that in wiktionary in a way that does not violate any firmatting?

I hope you will answer. Thanks. Josefwintzent Libot (talk) 00:56, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Faulty Range Block
I was trying to edit from my phone over 4G, and due to my IP address (2600:387:5:805:0:0:0:0/65), I was blocked even when I was logged in. Esszet (talk) 19:56, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * There's nothing technically faulty about the block, but it would seem that your ISP is completely random with its allocation of IP addresses, which I didn't expect. I only do 2-week blocks in this kind of situation precisely because of the risk of collateral damage, but this is the first time I've run into this on a /65 rang block. I've removed the restriction on logged-in users from the block, and I'll keep this in mind when blocking IPs from this ISP in the future. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:28, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Have you seen the red wasteland of User:DTLHS? A very large number of these missing words are taxonomical ones (e.g. quarlekid is a member of the Quarlek family or whatever), but as you told me before, it's not always entirely clear or logical which relates to which. Do you think we could commandeer a squad of bio/taxo experts from WP to create these entries? or handle them in some way? I love nouns. Equinox ◑ 01:45, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't spend enough time on WP for any of those people to know me, and I've posted comments on talk pages about errors in WP articles that took years to be addressed, so I don't think I can persuade anyone to drop everything to come here and help. I can definitely take care of most of the common name entries, but there are lots of paleontological taxa in the "Taxonomy" section that are outside of my knowledge base. There are also some terms I recognize from botany classes I took in the late '70s, but, as you can imagine, I'm a bit hazy on those. I might also be able to help with a few of the entomological taxonomy terms, but not most of the technical stuff. I'll chip away at what I can handle without too much research, but I'm not promising much. might be able to help, but they're already doing a lot. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:32, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Fair enough, thanks for listening! Equinox ◑ 02:58, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I have been meaning to do them, because a bunch are ones I know or vaguely know. But I'm busy and constantly guilty about not working on my other languages. Fun fact: if people nominate more FWOTDs that are ready to go, that will allow me more time to create entries, which is what I prefer doing. So if you want me to work on this, bullying people who edit various languages to add FWOTDs on my behalf would be most effective. :) —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:16, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Your "-th" abuse filter
...seems to be catching unrelated edits. Equinox ◑ 02:08, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * No, it's working exactly as intended. There's a reason I only have it set to tag: not every edit is going to be bad. This is one of the main ISPs for Thailand, and there's no easy way to separate out the good from the bad without looking at the content. The idea is to alert people to the potential for bad edits, so they can keep an eye open.

 * It's like I noted with the suspected LW IP: people are cleaning up isolated parts of the problem without seeing that there's a larger pattern. In this case, we have someone who feels qualified to "fix" any entry in any language, and to add specialized templates that require knowledge of the parameters and of the language- but they're way out of their depth and they either don't know or don't care. This has been a hot topic at WT:VIP since April, with various Chinese dialects, Spanish, and Arabic- not to mention English- among others.

 * So, the idea isn't to block everyone whose edits are tagged, but if someone is making bad edits and the edits are tagged, you're justified in blocking them on sight. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:06, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
