小島 and 好感 are valid, but should be properly cited and made more complete (for example, 小島 also needs an entry for 小岛. Each entry should at least include Pinyin and tones. If you don't know Pinyin, this site can help out. This site requires knowledge of Simplified Chinese.). 健談的人 should be listed under 健談, 健谈. I have never seen or heard the term 爬者 used in the context of a "shiner." I looked for examples of 爬者 on Google, but could find no instances in which it took on a meaning of "black eye" or "shiner." Most of what I found were false positives such as 攀爬者 (climber) or 网絡漫爬者 (Web Crawler). 130.111.98.241: Here is the point, no body is going to trust an entry by an anonymous source. Therefore, if you don't want your entries constantly challenged, you need to provide a way for others to verify your work. Please read Wiktionary:Criteria_for_inclusion#Attestation. For example, you cite "Free Translation" as a reference in the entry 爬者, but what is that? Is it a website? Is it a book? You don't provide any information! Maybe you're trying to say that you are providing wiktionary a translation free of charge. If so, are you familiar with the English proverb: "you get what you pay for"?

No, he means that he gets his Chinese, Spanish, Russian and other entries by using the machine-translation program at Free Translations. He enters something in English, gets a free machine translation into Chinese or other language, then makes it into a Wiktionary page. Since he only knows English, he has no idea what the translations really say. He’s very eager to contribute something worthwhile, but he doesn’t know how. —Stephen 07:08, 12 March 2006 (UTC) I took a look at the http://www.freetranslation.com/free/ website. I entered in a number of words. For the most part, it does a decent job. Once in a while, it will give you an odd translation. This proves something that I would have thought rather obvious before becoming involved with Wiktionary: Unless you are actually proficient with the language in question, you should not be making dictionary entries!
