kanji cats
Hi. I noticed you've been adding categories for all the chinese characters. Thanks! I've been very active in the kanji category recently and to keep it useful, I've been limiting it to kanji that are actually in use. I hope you don't mine me delinking the cats for unused kanji. I thought I'd give you a heads up before you put too much work into it. Millie 22:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd rather you recategorize them in something like Category:Uncommon kanji or Category:Infrequently used kanji or whatever, instead of simply removing the categories. They are kanji, according to the entries, and so should go in some kanji-related category. - dcljr 22:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * ok. that's a good compromise. I'll do that instead. Millie 22:33, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! - dcljr 22:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

bots
I've never botted before <-is that a word? :) At any rate, there are many entries that have had the links of the language removed and are still uncategorized. (I keep running into them). i.e. Korean Hanja instead of Korean Hanja (and some other irregular formatting), so a bot, while getting a lot done, would not get all of them- Millie 23:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I wish I could help. I don't know the first thing about botwriting... Millie 23:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, no. That's not a good assumption. I keep running across very common kanji that haven't been touched since they were added. Millie 23:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Quick index
Hi, I like your proposal for revising the "Quick index" box. Could I suggest putting the names of the non-Latin scripts alongside them, as follows:


 * Cyrillic: А-Я, а-я
 * Greek: Α-Ω, α-ω
 * (etc)

This would make them easier to read and find. They can also be ordered alphabetically rather than by distance from the UK, as they are at the moment (sort of), thus removing any cultural bias. &mdash; Paul G 18:20, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Special pages
Wow, I never knew about the Mypage, Mytalk, or Randomredirect special pages. - dcljr 18:12, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * They're quite new AFAIK. Announce-l keeps me posted on those things, and on new magic words and such. &mdash;Vildricianus 18:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * More: did you know about Special:Random/Wiktionary or Special:Random/Category (etc.) ? &mdash;Vildricianus 22:59, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope. - dcljr 09:32, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

italics
Why is it exactly that the infinitives must be italicised? - 00:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Featured word candidates
I like the way your changes to Wiktionary:Featured word candidates sound. Nice job! RJFJR 02:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I like what you've done so far. RJFJR 03:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, I wouldn't call that a "major revision" myself, but I do agree that it is an improvement. --EncycloPetey 00:10, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Huh? You know they're talking about these edits, right? - dcljr 03:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

wikification
Just make sure you always wikify lowercase versions; ie. suffix pro Suffix. We're in the process of both completely eliminating these uppercased versions (usually leftovers of User:Conversion script), and the wrongly wikified entries (also mostly done my mr. Ullmann in bot mode). Cheers! --Ivan Štambuk 17:25, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Need some help with this
Hi there I am trying to fix a template for translations but i face certain problems which you can see for yourself here

there are some templates for the codes of the languages missing. also the Hide/Show in the top of the translation bar, is in English language, where can I change it? Any help in this regard will be appreciated. --احمد-نجيب-بياباني-ابراهيمخېل (talk) 02:02, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Files on gd:wictionary
Hello. You edited two files on the Scottish Gaelic Wictionary today. Every file on the website had a hardcoded px size. You are welcome to change each and every one, but as I am the only editor on the site, I don't have time for it. Kibi78704 (talk) 06:29, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Please stop deleting the transcluded documentation template pages on gd:wictionary (aka Uicleir)
Why are you deleting pages on gd:wictionary you apparently don't understand? You have deleted transcluded documentation templates. Please stop. If you are going to muck about on gd:wictionary, please create a talk page. Tracking you down is tedious.Kibi78704 (talk) 17:40, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * OK - I owe you an apology. Apparently the two deleted documentation pages once belonged to translation tables that were deleted sometime in the past. (Probably during a cascading delete, I guess.) I'm a little touchy because of bad experiences with a guy in Portugal who keeps writing very poor definitions and then tried to write even worse templates in  a category that is a lynchpin of Uicleir (gd:wictionary). I would appreciate it if you did create a talk page on Uicleir if you are going to do any editing there. Kibi78704 (talk) 18:26, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I understand your initial confusion, which is why I provided a detailed reason for each deletion in the  tag (everything I nominated for deletion was not linked to from any other page and had contents that exactly duplicated another page at a more appropriate title). Also, a talk page doesn't need to exist for you to be able to leave a message there. Just follow the "talk" redlink (on Uicleir it's "an deasbaireachd" or "Deasbaireachd") and you will find yourself editing the page; then just leave your comment as usual. In fact, please do that in the future, since I prefer to keep dicsussions regarding a specific wiki on that wiki itself. - dcljr (talk) 02:59, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. With a little digging, and your notes (plus the original contents), I was able to reconstruct (enough of) what happened. One of the dangling documentation pages was my fault entirely and had been ment to be deleted, the other seems to be the vestiges of a cascading delete, but that's a guess on my part.
 * As to the talk page, no problem. Happy to oblige.Kibi78704 (talk) 03:28, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Sorry to see there are big foots here too
I stopped adding content to Wikipedia because I saw that by far the vast majority of "editors" there were what I call big foots. They tramp into a subject and without discussion and little understanding delete or, worse yet, "revise" things, then move on to other entries. I see you are one of those here. I hadn't come across one here until I see your "work." So I'm outta Wiktionary too. Bye. Have fun acting like an "editor." AnthroMimus (talk) 10:06, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You are welcome to try again to add more useful and more carefully formatted information to the entry. You can also discuss the matter on the entry's talk page to solicit opinions from other editors. Or you can storm off in a huff. The choice is yours. - dcljr (talk) 23:49, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
