 * Thank you for the correction, apologies for my mistake. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 11:22, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Example sentences
Hi there. Example sentences should "be as brief as possible while still clarifying the sense of the term.". So "I love GTA", as an example, doesn't really help our users understand the term. SemperBlotto (talk) 11:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright, sorry about that. I'll try to be more precise. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 11:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

"ux" usage example gloss
Hi. My understanding is that the ux gloss is intended for (made-up) usage examples, and not real-world citations like you flagged at maat and Englishman. When I see ux there, I remove it. Do you know different? Equinox ◑ 14:08, 28 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Okay, I didn't know that. I've went back and fixed them; my bad. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 14:12, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Bit more nagging: it's better not to use the Abbreviation or Initialism headers any more, because we obsoleted those (because they aren't really a part of speech). So if you create an entry like NNP it's better to use the natural part of speech (proper noun in that case) and then define it with the abbreviation or initialism on the definition line. Ahh you'll pick it up :D Thanks Equinox ◑ 15:00, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks for the tip. I think I get what you're saying; I'm a bit new here so you'll have to bear with me. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 15:01, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Small issue
See diff. Entries in different languages on the same page are separated by a dividing line. See WT:Entry layout for more info. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 14:09, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * My bad; thanks for letting me know. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 14:35, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

template af-noun
It may be a little counter-intuitive, but shortcut plurals are always entered without a hyphen, so just e or s. I don't think there are shortcuts that include elided consonants as in -te. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  08:53, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 22:17, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Formatting
Hi, please read WT:NORM, in particular regarding the spacing between lines and between other things. You always pack things tightly but that's not how Wiktionary is conventionally formatted. —Rua (mew) 12:02, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * My apologies; that's just how I'm used to doing things on other Wikis. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 12:03, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

white
Was there any particular reason for replacing the existing image with one of Trudeau? I won't delete it, but adding images of politicians to fairly unrelated entries tend to cause complaints somewhere down the line. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)

대한민국
Hello. What do you mean by “The Korean ethnicity, race, or nation”? As far as I know it refers only to the Republic of Korea. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 05:38, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, the cite is here (CTRL+F for Taehan minguk). Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 11:41, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh you are misreading the phrase. In that case 대한민국 means “Korea”, not just South Korea. —
 * I see then. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 13:38, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Racist ux
What was the thinking behind using as a usage example? Using political slogans without quote marks isn't a great practice anyway. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  12:13, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Archiving "die swart gevaar"
I'm glad you're so punctual in keeping your archive up to date, but it would have probably been wiser to respond to that question about adding "die swart gevaar" first. Will you refrain from adding any similar offensive examples? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  08:02, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

NPC
Hey- I saw your NPC edits just now, and I wanted to ask: is there a way we can draw a connection between definition 1 and definition 4 so that the reader knows they are connected? Also, although I may have seen this usage once or twice, could you add an example if you have time? Geographyinitiative (talk) 09:52, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll try. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 11:53, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Done! Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 14:43, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

"jux heads" citation
What does "jux heads" mean? Who is being robbed of what? Equinox ◑ 21:07, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
