You've been adding entries that don't meet our Criteria for inclusion- please read that before you add any more. We sometimes make a temporary exception when a term meets all the other criteria, but is too new to meet the one-year requirement. I don't think we would do that for terms that are only used on personal web pages, though. Also, please don't link to numbered etymology sections: all it takes is for someone to insert another etymology in front of yours and suddenly you're linking to the wrong one.

ゴジラ
Hello, I've undone your edits there:


 * In JA entries, unless there is limited space, we provide applicable WP links to both JA and EN articles.
 * We only add pitch accent where it is clear. I cannot find references giving a specific pitch accent, and in spoken Japanese, I have variously heard both accent patterns 0 and 2.  Unless you have clear evidence otherwise, we omit the pitch accent when trends are unclear.
 * Links in glosses use the generic format, as noted at WT:ELE.

Hello, I've reverted most of your edits at ありがとう. A number of the reasons are identical to ゴジラ above. In addition:

‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 18:08, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The ===Pronunciation=== section is admittedly messy, but since this entry lists so many different dialectal variations, we have resorted to manually listing them and forgoing the use of the acc parameter in the top call to . This is quite intentional -- using acc changes the format in ways that is undesirable.
 * The formatting in the ===Etymology=== section is also quite deliberate: various readings are intentionally placed outside of the calls to in order to prevent excessive parenthesization, which makes the entry harder to read.
 * The language is given as ojp, but in many cases, the linked term is extant in modern or Classical Japanese as well, so by convention, we use ja as the second parameter to .  The situation for how best to handle Classical and Old Japanese is somewhat unsettled, so if you have strong opinions about this, I suspect the Japanese editor community here would be open to discussion.  The best avenue for that is probably the Beer parlor, at least to start -- there is also the Talk page at WT:About Japanese, but that doesn't get much attention.

Japanese phonology
There is some disagreement regarding consonantal palatalization in Japanese, and Wiktionary does not necessarily hew to Wikipedia's content. See https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0199545839 sections 3.8 and 3.9 regarding and, for instance, where this author discounts the idea of  or. From what I have seen, I believe part of the disagreement comes from variations between individual speakers and different speech registers. In hyper-pronunciation, for instance, the usually-devoiced in common verb ending, or interstitially in the  in , is realized as voiced. The ===Pronunciation=== section is intended to give the more common rendering, not hyper-pronunciation. For palatalization in specific, regarding your recent edits to, explicitly palatalized variants or  seem more common in Tokyo-standard public-facing feminine speech such as in anime, but I encounter them less frequently in everyday speech. is widely recognized, but is not, such as described here on page 132 of the article "Japanese phonology: a functional approach". Also, my understanding of the notation was that is redundant and that  is preferred. I've reverted to. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 20:24, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

German -r-
Concerning your edits on Sangria. We transcribe German "r" as rather than. German wiktionary uses the latter, but it's actually a pretty rare pronunciation. (I don't know if you edit German entries a lot, but just so you'll know when you do.) Best regards! Kolmiel (talk) 22:01, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Catalan pronunciation
I've added Valencian pronunciation too now. But there are some difficulties because there are some words where the two languages don't match: one may have a close-mid vowel while the other has an open-mid vowel. I don't know a lot about this phenomenon, but it appears that where they differ, Central always has the open-mid vowel while Valencian always has close-mid. If this is the case, then we might use the special signs ê and ô to indicate this. Could you elaborate on this maybe?

We may also want to include one or more Balearic dialects into the module, but they have an additional stressed vowel /ə/ which seems to correspond to /ɛ/ or /e/ in the other varieties. Do you know more about the correspondences? If the Balearic vowel is known to be /ə/, can the vowel of the other dialects always be predicted from this? —CodeCat 21:24, 5 August 2016 (UTC)


 * : To be honest, my knowledge on the topic didn't go much further than yours. But I made some research and it seems that Vulgar Latin /e/ (from Classical Latin Ē or Ĭ) developed in Central Catalan as /ɛ/, in Valencian as /e/ and Balearic as /ə/ (as in vermell, cadena, creure); if it's so, in Valencian the results happened to be the same as Italian, or similar (vermiglio, caténa, crédere): see, Italian . When it comes to O, I have no idea, but the case of E is apparently easy to arrange. [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔt̪ːo ] (parla con me) 07:19, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

BTW, one thing I've just spotted: since in Central Catalan V is equivalent to B, /nb/ sound display as /mb/; indeed, in that dialect it is phonemically /mb/, /v/ (and therefore /nv/) not being possible. [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔt̪ːo ] (parla con me) 15:38, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed. —CodeCat 15:47, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * : I have made some further research and in summary:
 * Latin breve Ĕ gave origin to:
 * /ɛ/ (in certain words, which we would leave as è) in all dialects for the same word;
 * /e/ (in other words, which we would leave as é) in all dialects for the same word.
 * Latin long Ē or breve Ĭ originated (this vowel had better become ê in the module):
 * /ɛ/ in Central Catalan;
 * /e/ in Western Catalan;
 * /ə/ in Balearic.
 * Of course, one has to know the etymology to be able to insert the correct E.
 * It seems O stays unchanged throughout the dialects, but I might be mistaken; could you give me some examples? [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔt̪ːo ] (parla con me) 10:28, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This is useful as a general rule, but reality may not be so neatly predictable. What I'd really like is a website that lists the pronunciations of these various areas. Catalan Wiktionary has some, but it's missing a lot too and I have no idea how reliable it is. —CodeCat 13:31, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, probably the Catalan Wiktionary and Wikipedia are somewhat more reliable than Wikimedia projects in other languages, but I agree, many entries there lack a complete transcription of the main dialectal variants; but as a general rule that's the best we can do unless we find a list, as you said, or a reliable dictionary with pronunciation variants. I would personally keep this rule, as long as the pronunciations can be verified. [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔt̪ːo ] (parla con me) 14:00, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, what do you mean by "lack a complete transcription" on ca.wikt? In some entries or they are incomplete? Maybe the notation is not clear enough. Oriental = Central + Balearic, Occidental = Valencian + North-western. In most cases Eastern and Western is enough. A Catalan speaker understand this main classification but perhaps it is confusing. --Vriullop (talk) 08:44, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Diccionari ortogràfic i de pronúncia (2004) is probably the closest to what you're looking for though, AFAIK, it covers exclusively the Central variety. Maybe go ask people on Catalan Wiktionary/Wikipedia? Mr KEBAB (talk) 01:49, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * : we actually need a dictionary that shows up phonetic variation among the dialects, to be certain on when Balearic stressed /ə/ appears. We know already about Central Catalan phonetics. [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔ̟t̪ːo ] (parla con me) 08:36, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure whether such a thing even exists. If it does, chances are it's a website. Have you asked on Catalan Wikipedia/Wiktionary? Maybe they won't provide you with loads of citations, but maybe you'll find someone willing simply to discuss the issue in depth, which is equally helpful (Wiktionary is not as strict with sources as Wikipedia, they seem to let you do your thing as long as you know what you're doing). I'll keep looking myself and will notify you if I find something. Mr KEBAB (talk) 16:21, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * : not long ago I have found this website that apparently gives different dialectal variants, but you need an account; I registered, but I still haven't received the confirmation email so I can't log in yet. [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔ̟t̪ːo ] (parla con me) 16:27, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Same here as far as the confirmation mail is concerned, but great find. Judging by what they write about it, it's really impressive. Mr KEBAB (talk) 17:10, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

 * : user from ca.wikt is willing to help, though for the moment he's on vacation and is seldom on Wiktionary: he will later have the time. Meanwhile, he assured me that website is the most reliable, showing, as it says, a variety of pronunciations. He also told me that he's not certain whether Valencian /e/ corresponds to Balearic /ə/.

 * If you read the vote and the votes in it, you will realize that does not make sense. The posts in the vote shows there is consensus against use of the template. CodeCat is a proponent of def and lost. Angr repeatedly told us that "votes are evil", disregarding all arguments to the contrary, and I am not surprised to see him do such a thing.
 * If adding of def continues, it will be necessary to bring the bureaucracy to its conclusion, and create a vote that forbids the template outright. I would hope that is not necessary.
 * Alternatively, I may need to start manually remove the template, since consensus is against it and status quo ante prevails anyway, but we have better use for my time and attention. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:55, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding translations in languages you do not know
This is the second reminder - you ignored my request to you in the Beer Parlour last time and continue to add translations in Chinese and other languages you are not familiar with. Most of the Chinese translations you added after the previous message are still erroneous: for example (also wrong in Thai),,. I really hope you can take this seriously. Please fix the errors above yourself- if nobody had bothered to check your edits, these errors could persist for an indefinite period of time, and they are exactly the reason that people stop taking Wiktionary seriously. Wyang (talk) 14:20, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * like last time, your complaint is about the erroneousness of my additions. But on that occasion only one translation was actually wrong, while the others were correct and simply either lacked a regular transliteration or the simplified/traditional form, or were not linked to parts; in one word, I failed to add translations as it is standard for Chinese, but I wouldn't consider this an outright mistake, as long as I do not start creating entries for Chinese lemmas (which I will not) and translations are readable. That is why I kept adding them: they only needed a familiar editor to standardize them. Also consider that there must still be several actual entries (way different from being not-created-yet translations) which have been mistaken and not yet corrected on Wiktionary. Please do not interpret this as a complete indifference from my side, I actually want all translations to be right.

 * As editors on Wiktionary, a large part of being conscientious involves being meticulous in our work and amenable to feedback, because this is not a playing ground – our inadvertent errors in any part of the work will often be taken as truth by visitors. Excuses such as “on that occasion only one translation was actually wrong”, “I wouldn't consider this an outright mistake” simply fail this conscientiousness criterion. Below is the effect of your edits:


 * Mandarin: 庫內奧, 库内奥
 * Mandarin: 利沃諾, 裡窩那, 里窝那
 * Mandarin: 蒙菲拉托
 * Mandarin: 蒙菲拉托


 * For speakers of Mandarin, the errors in these translations are glaringly obvious and could easily lead to straight dismissal of the credibility of the site, despite all the effort others put in maintaining the Chinese entries here. As someone who has been adding translations abundantly across many languages for many years, the mentality that I only “need a familiar editor to standardize them” later is frankly not acceptable. Wyang (talk) 22:16, 9 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Your arguments are absolutely unbelievable. The fact you can make them with a straight face and no shame whatsoever is appalling.

When you're editing in a language you don't know, you're driving blind. Your source may be correct 9 times out of 10, but when it isn't, you have no way to know you're headed off a cliff.

Module:it-head
I keep getting error messages when trying to reply.

Where is it going wrong exactly in the module? Can you show me an example where it goes wrong? —Rua (mew) 16:15, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I do not exactly know where the mistake is in the module, but when replacing the old template and previewing the new one on pages like Olanda or Paesi Bassi the head is just completely missing for some reason.


 * The other problem is there should be a way to make the parameter  an alternative for , as certain pages (e.g. Giovanni) retain it from the old template. [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔ̟t̪ːo ] (parla con me) 16:27, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

 * There's a bunch of entries showing up with errors now. My bot only handled entries with m, f, m-p or f-p as the gender, so that any aberrations would show up as errors, and now they are. It seems a lot of them are cases where the gender is just p, so without an actual gender specified. I don't know Italian, so I can't fill these in. Can you? —Rua (mew) 22:10, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

by the way, I have found errors on pages using f or m as a parameter, which would need this on the module: if args["f"] then table.insert(data.inflections, {label = "feminine", args["f"]}) end if args["m"] then table.insert(data.inflections, {label = "masculine", args["m"]}) end As for common nouns.

 * The original template never had these parameters, though. Do they need to be added? —Rua (mew) 10:42, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * well, either this or removing them from the pages. But I think it may be useful. [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔ̟t̪ːo ] (parla con me) 10:46, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello :)

I have removed one of your Persian translations. I have left فوت‌جاب but it doesn't appear especially common. It probably needs a better translation. Kaixinguo~enwiktionary (talk) 00:00, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

IPA cleanup
Thank you for adding IPA to chateaubriand in this revision. I noticed it contains /ɑ̃/, which I don't see in the English pronunciation appendix. I believe it should be replaced with /ɑ/? —Darxus (talk) 20:57, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Romance verb–noun compounds
Hello. I think your analysis of these forms is wrong: the verbal part is the third person singular indicative, not the imperative. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 11:15, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * hi. I'm 100% sure Italian compounds of this kind are formed with the imperative (as for example and not,  and not ); regarding French and other Romance languages, I just assumed the same thing. Are you sure it does not work in the same way in French? I cannot think of any compound with verbs from the third group, so to make a comparison.

Ciao IvanScrooge98, sono l'utente Nubauatv che ti ha pingato l'altro giorno su it.wikipedia. Volevo solo sapere se fossi interessato a partecipare alla discussione sulla corretta grafia di Portobuffolè, dato che avevi spostato la voce in passato. Nel caso non t'interessasse ignora pure questo messaggio, non ti disturberò oltre. Se invece pensi di fare un salto a dire la tua, ti prego di non accennare a questo messaggio ma solo al ping, non vorrei che gli amministratori si mettessero a pensare a complotti e consensi pilotati, se ti ho scritto è solo per sicurezza dopo che non hai risposto al ping. Grazie in entrambi i casi, buona continuazione. --3.90.4.231 11:33, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah sì, scusami. Semplicemente non mi sono inserito nella discussione perché dura da molto e a quanto sembra non c’è una politica definita per trattare casi come questo. Io sono sempre a favore della pronuncia e ortografia riportata nei dizionari, non fosse che per il fatto che non c’è un’adeguata conoscenza in Italia della differenza fra accento acuto e grave, ma appunto non so come potrei essere utile oltre a questo.
