"My Vandalisms"
Hi Carl Francis!

You're right! I am the same person under JamesVin2orregosa; despite it being sockpuppetry, I do not intend to hide my identity so as to do any bastard actions. I've created this account out of absent-mindedness in remembering my previous one's pwd (considering that a fellow blocked me for a few days at that time).

Ever since the first time we've met, you have shown me (in my perspective) a rather "surly" character in your remarks, which I would like to address with...

I would like to share to you that what brought me here is my sheer passion to help improve anything that can be or must be improved, and not the other way around. Though at times you have spotted some false or faulty texts that I've added, I do not mean to do any disruption; instead, correct them void of distasteful comments; I hope you'd have it in mind. You might have misinterpreted me as a malicious person due to my edits.

I greatly ask for your good judgement.

P.S. I don't really knew what were the rules in spelling in the first place, but now I do... Sorry if it gave you displeasure

basketan
Hi, I was just trying to correct the way the templates were used in. I have no opinion on where the word comes from. The previous wikitext,, produced the text "English basket" but linked to the Spanish entry for. Thanks for correcting it further. — Eru·tuon 17:20, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Constructive criticism only
Hi Carl.

I was really taken aback by your rudeness in making remark on my edit on the page ulod. Let me ask you then:


 * 1) What is so useless about my edit?
 * 2) In the case of ulod, even if my edit is based on what I think I know, what makes you think you can straight away revert it without actually putting consideration on the info that I've inputted? The fact that Bikol Central, Cebuano and Waray-Waray are Austronesian languages like Malay, Chamorro, Maori, etc., it's not hard to see how ulod should be a cognate of, , , etc. It seems to me that you are disinclined from the effort of establishing etymological connection of the lemmas which I think is against linguistic endeavour. Please note words do not exist in a vacuum but rather derived or inherited from other sources.

Also, It seems to me that you are protective over the pages that you've created. Please note that Wiktionary is an open source dictionary for all and no one is supposed to take full authority or ownership of any of the info contributed here. Thank you. Zulfadli51 (talk) 14:55, 11 September 2019 (UTC)


 * To add to Zulfadli51's concerns above, I find you stubbornness intolerable and I agree its a longstanding problem with you "owning" the articles you're added or edited. Also, you also have a longstanding problem with you pushing what is logically borrowed from Spanish as being from English instead (and thinking a Spanish loanword in any Philippine language is only "borrowed" if it describes some object or concept that exists in Spain or Spanish-era Philippines). Rethink what you call Spanish for etymology puposes: it's not just Castilian or Kastila but an international language.


 * I don't speak or understand little Cebuano (I speak Tagalog), but that doesn't mean you're the only one entitled to edit the dictionary of your native language.


 * Also, some problems I find with your Cebuano entries are:


 * your tendency to add articles on every noun definition. Better try to keep things simple.
 * not using ngd to indicate a non-gloss definition
 * creating entries for alternative forms with content duplicating those in the main entry. Entries for alternative forms should generally serve as some kind of redirect to the main entry (can you please elaborate standard Cebuano spelling at WT:ACEB?).

Headwords with diacritics for Cebuano
Just a tip, Cebuano, also like Tagalog, uses diacritics, but not in general writing, unless you want to distinguish homographs (which are common) for the reader. But for a dictionary, diacritics on the headword helps with pronunciation, so, please add them if you can and don't just revert edits adding them just because we don't normally use it. --TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 22:55, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Cebuano entries lacking content
Hello sir. The following words need your revision and expansion: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Citations:dulog https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Citations:pilok

Your "dulog" citation lacks a Cebuano part in the main space. It only shows Tagalog and Hiligaynon. The Pilok citation is missing but in its main entry, it has a "look for Citation:pilok" part. Can you please fix this? Thank you --Likhasik (talk) 12:18, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Diacritics and attitude, again
Yes, Cebuano is not generally written with diacritics (save Ñ), but we add it on the headword as pronunciation guide. Stop insisting on removing diacritics because it's not used in ordinary writing.

Also I noticed your insinuation about other editors (including me) on an edit comment on. Such behavior can get you blocked. Please grow up from what you were 3-6 years ago. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 09:36, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
