Stop editing etymologies. You have no idea what you are doing. This is your final warning before another block. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 09:33, 5 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Some words don't require a degree in linguistic, just common sense. As humans we all have a brain intertwined with words; we all got into linguistic as kids, all of us, regardless our degrees and studies. I personally studied Italian (mother tongue), English, German, Portuguese, French, Russian. That allows me to make connections making use of (human) common sense.
 * Depriving the language of common sense and from the opportunity to explore connections among the words while promoting rigid policies, moves the tool away from people and usefulness placing it over a rusty bookshelf of progressively less use. Wiki is a tool conceived to leverage the "community brain". Why don't you check and eventually review instead of threat, block and judge?
 * You are giving me a final warning? Why? What is the point to me in being allowed to edit given the circumstances? Please go ahead and block me now or come back to me articulating your opinions about the above.
 * Also, a little kindness in communication won't hurt.
 * Regardless of your OPINIONS, attitude and actions I am still grateful of your dedication, as despite different views I value this tool. I wish you a great day. Marcobrini (talk) 09:50, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * "Some words don't require a degree in linguistic, just common sense." No, you really shouldn't edit etymologies and posit relations between words when you have no clue how historical linguistics works, which is evident from your edits like this, this, and this. Wiki contributors are expected to have at least a basic understanding of what they are doing, because otherwise you're just creating more work for everyone else to clean up after the mess you leave behind. This is entirely standard practice; even Wikipedia has an entire page for this. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 10:26, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The etymologies you are adding are gibberish. As a second admin, I'm telling you to stop adding nonsense or be blocked. Vininn126 (talk) 10:33, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I argumented my opninions and actions. My contributions are for the community. If they are not appreciated, there is no point in being authorized to edit and no point in threatening from your side. Just block me if you believe this is the right things to do.
 * Please review also the Wikipedia definition of wikictiknary as it is evidently obsolete "Wiktionary is run by the Wikimedia Foundation, and is written collaboratively by volunteers, dubbed "Wiktionarians". Its wiki software, MediaWiki, allows almost anyone with access to the website to create and edit entries."
 * I wish you a great day to you as well (and also in this case... some kindness in communications won't hurt considering that also my contribution were on a voluntary basis without any other benefit for me). Marcobrini (talk) 10:52, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Reviewers
Reviewers are expected to review. Their expertise justifies their role, which is to REVIEW. You mentioned three of my several contributions. Based on them you deleted them all. Why? Marcobrini (talk) 10:29, 5 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Because all of them are wrong. Wrong etymological content is simply removed, like wrong content is removed from other wikis too. Again, do not contribute to etymologies. Since you say you have studied multiple languages, you could much rather contribute to creating new entries (for terms we are currently missing) for those languages. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 10:31, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Can you please comment on each on of them?
Several of my contributions are obvious and help to clarify the meaning of the words. Etymology isn't math, how can you PROVE they are all wrong? Also: in your criticism you purposely made a selection of the less evident etymology that I suggested and with them you justify deleting the all. That's improper generalization (unfortunately very common nowadays). Why don't you check and help with my contributions that are clearly a prefix + stem word and that were missing from the Etymology of the word? Look, I repeat myself, I value your work, I believe is on a voluntary basis, so I'm grateful. But I disagree by the attitude and opinions (and argumented it). As a wiki user and a human being I'm entitled to it, regardless my studies and degrees. Your nick suggests that you are familiar with math. Then you should also be familiar with non Euclidean geometry born from violating an axiom (never before done as it would be considered "stupid" doing it). Well who did that "stupid" thing gave humanity a great gift. Sometimes having doubts about what we believe being "sure"... helps. I wish you a great day and thanks for your daily effort on this tool (no irony on this). Marcobrini (talk) 10:42, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
