 * You are continuing to create badly formatted entries and have not acknowledged that you've read this message. —CodeCat 01:56, 6 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I understand this now, I just found it confusing to figure out. Lincoln1001 (talk) 06:37, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

SI units
Do you have any evidence that units like zeptoampere and zettampere have been used? The box "Wiktionary does not have any Translingual dictionary entry for this term. This is most likely because this term does not meet our criteria for inclusion yet." was there for a reason. DTLHS (talk) 17:20, 6 August 2016 (UTC)


 * They are included on Wikipedia ([]), the Appendix: SI units page on Wiktionary and on []. Also, there is the page [] on Wiktionary which is obviously a cognate of the English zeptoampere. I assume three sources is adequate. Lincoln1001 (talk) 17:41, 6 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Not exactly. We require three uses of the term: see for example Google books (no use), or Google scholar (it looks like "zeptoampere" can be cited using papers from here- see my changes). I don't think "zettampere" will pass though. DTLHS (talk) 17:46, 6 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Please read this carefully: Criteria_for_inclusion. Citations must be durably archived. We cannot quote ourselves, so we cannot take quotations from Wiktionary or Wikipedia. Citations must use the word- another dictionary defining a word does not count. None of your citations at Citations:attocandela and Citations:zettaampere meet these criteria. Like I said, try to find uses (not mentions) in books or scholarly papers. DTLHS (talk) 22:43, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Kalasha entries
I've had to fix every Kalasha entry that you've created so far. Please pay heed to what I have changed. —CodeCat 15:54, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * In particular does not convert   to adjectives, you need to write adjective or adjectives. Renard Migrant (talk) 18:47, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * You need to edit the entries in Category:Kalasha adjs to use "adjective" instead of "adj". DTLHS (talk) 01:09, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

souvlakia
I believe this is a plural, not a singular. Thoughts? Equinox ◑ 16:22, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It probably is, at least the Greek plural. Perhaps souvlakia is also a variant spelling, or maybe Anglicised as such so it is interpreted in that way; Wikipedia says that souvlakia is the plural. Lincoln1001 (talk) 16:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Attestability
You are not being careful at all in your entries. You are adding things that do not appear to be attestable per our policies (essentially, can't be found used in three books or magazines). You are adding synonyms as "alternative spellings". Please stop, look over what you are doing, and ask if you need help. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:53, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Formatting
When you create entries, please don't put spaces around the names of headers, per WT:NORM. It should be  and not. —CodeCat 16:38, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Uthlus
Hi. You've created Uthlus as plural of Uthulu. It seems more logical that there are two separate spellings, Uthlu and Uthulu, each with an -s plural. What do you think? Equinox ◑ 21:48, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Yes, I think you are correct. Lincoln1001 (talk) 21:49, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
