Sinhalese
Please do not define terms by using the term. Saying that Sinhalese means "pertaining to the Sinhalese people" is a circular definition. It defines the term by using the exact same term. In future, if you do not understand why your edits are undone, then ask someone rather than making the same edit again. --EncycloPetey 17:03, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The reason those sorts of comments are seldon put in an edit summary on Wiktionary are (1) it is basic common sense not to explain a word by using the very word you are explaining, and (2) the vast majority of new anon IP editors make one edit and then disappear forever. Ba;lance that with the fact that Wiktionary has a very small population of administrators and regular editors.  The majority of patrolling is done by about half a dozen editors.  So, in the majority of situations, an explanation would be a waste of effort. --EncycloPetey
