Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Revert to ابری/reply (2)

Thank you for your reply as I wasn't aware of this singular standard. Nevertheless, it seems that Wiktionary has arbitrarily decided to use a mixture of different standards based on the personal preferences of an ad-hoc group of editors. This is extremely problematic.

While I did see your summary, I also note that there is some debate on this "system", such as it is, on the associated discussion page! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary_talk:Persian_transliteration. The contributors observe the incompatible use of a mixture systems. That mixture with different standards has shown up in this particular article. As you can see in the first post, one person asks if they really must change all of the macrons to circumflexes! Then the last person asks that the standards here be reviewed that it be put to a vote, which never happened.

Secondly, you unilaterally reverted corrections of obvious mistakes and changes that are in fact in line with the standard. Others were incorrect translations that had nothing to do with the Wiktionary diacritics, such as translating as well as transliterating ابری as "ebru". It's incorrect on both counts. Ebru is not an English word. The correct translation is "marbled paper".

Please see the talk page in which I review the standards, the inconsistent application, and puzzling translation of Persian into Turkish rather than English.
