User talk:Ambasciatrice

Hey, User:Surjection. I was blocked for gibberish and using my page to host a conlang and presumably also the example Japanese sentences. I didn't realize that that was against the rules, but that is completely my fault for not having paid better attention. I will seek out another location to host my other dumb projects. I would appreciate it if you would remove the block, but if not, I will wait patiently for it to expire. Thank you for your consideration. Ambasciatrice (talk) 21:06, 6 August 2023 (UTC)


 * What would you contribute to the dictionary if you were given the option to do so without waiting for a week? &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 21:10, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Well, after you blocked me I looked through your page, and if I was reading it correctly, it seems that part of your goal is to expand the coverage of Finnish on the website. While I am not skilled with coding and probably couldn't contribute much to that specific goal, I would like to be more involved with creating pages for inflected forms, even if ultimately they just redirect to the base lemma. I actually first discovered Wiktionary in 2013 because I was studying Finnish at the time (I have sense quit actively studying it, but there are still musicians I listen to), and I was always impressed with how expansive the list of entries was, even at that time, especially for a language with comparatively few speakers. In 2020 I made an account (I forgot the username, hence this new one) and during the lockdown I made a few edits (the only one I remember doing was adding "ootella" as an alternative colloquial version of "odotella".) I had fun doing that, but my when my place of work reopened, life got bad for a while and I started drinking a lot. Only recently have I chosen sobriety and have started rekindling my interest in languages. I am currently studying Japanese, which is why I had the example sentences, but as far as contributing goes, I would like to go back to adding more entries for inflected forms. I guess I don't know how necessary that is right now, but I have a lot of experience with English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese, as well as a more rudimentary knowledge of Russian and Finnish. Additionally, I want to learn more about and possibly contribute to quotations. I've noticed with Japanese, for example, that some of the quotations on pages are really obscure and often quite old, so I'd be interested in learning what parameters need to be met to submit a quotation and how to be effective in doing so.

 * Creating inflected forms by itself is fine, but one has to be careful, because it's entirely possible that there are mistakes in the inflection data. The last thing we want is someone creating wrong inflected forms because they didn't know there was a mistake. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 06:09, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
