Pronunciation at apple of the eye and its plural
I think the stress patterns may be wrong. "Eye" is at least as strongly stressed as "ap(ple)", if not more so. Would it make sense to use two primary stresses since they are two separate words? Equinox ◑ 23:03, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think we could do that. --Numberguy6 (talk) 23:08, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Chemical formulae
There is a current vote on this. I recommend that you consider it before creating more entries that may end up getting deleted. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:37, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Icelandic
Hey. Thanks for your work in Icelandic. If you want something to do, and feel comfortable with it, can I ask you to look at Category:Tbot entries (Icelandic)? This is a category of lots of Icelandic entries made 10 years ago by a bot, and they haven't been checked since then so may contain many errors. Thanks in advance. --Guiri Falso (talk) 14:40, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Afrihili entries
As Afrihili is a conlang with rather hard-to-access documentation, it's especially useful to reference your entries in it. If you're using William Annis's writeup, you can just reference that. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:07, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Just so you know, you never have to create categories if this is the sole content. They get created by regular bot runs every few days or so. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:45, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Place names
Just curious, why do you think creating thousands of formulaic entries for place names in California is a good use of your time? DTLHS (talk) 01:22, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Take care
Thanks for helping with a few Greek terms - but please double check when you make an entry — the translation ελεφαντόδοντο = elephant's tusk or ivory. — Salt  marsh. 06:19, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Lithuanian cleanup
Hey. Thanks for your work in Lithuanian. If you want something to do, and feel comfortable with it, can I ask you to look at Category:Tbot entries (Lithuanian)? Entries made 10 years ago by a bot, not been checked since then so may contain many errors. Thanks in advance. La más guay (talk) 23:22, 15 December 2020 (UTC)


 * At least the proper nouns. How wrong could Gibraltaras and Tanzanija be, anyway? La más guay (talk) 23:24, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, maybe you're not the best guy for the Lithuanian job - you clearly edit in loads of languages, so probably aren't too familiar with any La más guay (talk) 00:25, 16 December 2020 (UTC)


 * You are correct. I am only copying from other editions of Wiktionary. --Numberguy6 (talk) 00:26, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Probably not the best idea, because people like me make Wiktionary. La más guay (talk) 00:34, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, stop copying from other Wiktionaries. You're not checking anything, and you're adding entries that don't meet our requirements for attestation. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:30, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Half of the definitions you are adding are wrong. With such a low accuracy, maybe you should stick to languages you do know. Allahverdi Verdizade (talk) 11:48, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

mazandarani‎
Does this meet WT:ATTEST? Are you checking whether your entries do? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:29, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

даныя
Hello,

You should not leave a mess behind like. Don't make entries in languages you don't know how. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:11, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You have been blocked for a month. Me and some other editors have corrected some of your Ukrainian and Belarusian edits but it's not complete. All you had to do is make some research, validate declensions, etc. but you chose not to. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:45, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Gothic 𐌰𐌿𐍂
Just speedy-deleted the entry 𐌰𐌿𐍂 you created (it is unattested and even when added as a reconstruction, its form would have had to have been *aurs if derived from ). Based on your comments here, I will guess you added this based on another-language Wiktionary edition, such as af.wikt or is.wikt, which have the entry. But other Wiktionaries generally are often quite bad (particularly when it comes to Gothic), so exercise caution, particularly when working with languages you don't know. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 16:31, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Tibetan country names
Hi, where are you getting the Tibetan country names from?--Tibidibi (talk) 22:01, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I am getting them from the Tibetan Wikipedia. --Numberguy6 (talk) 22:01, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, many of them have already-added translations (that I fill out) and/or entries in other Wiktionaries. --Numberguy6 (talk) 22:09, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Same question for Gagauz. If you are adding entries in a language you do not claim to know well you should add a reference or a book or journal quotation.  Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 01:45, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Slavic surnames
Please stop making Slavic surname entries. You apparently are clueless about the stress patterns and not making any efforts to verify your edits. is the proof. --121.221.134.95 02:16, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * In January, I was blocked for one month over the Belarusian/Ukrainian entries I created, and since then, I haven't made any. --Numberguy6 (talk) 02:21, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

busìnacu
Hello! The word "busìnacu" doesn't exist in Sicilian. The correct word is busnìacu.--86.75.47.151 20:58, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you :) 86.75.47.151 21:27, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Etymology
Hey! Thanks for adding those words. I have an odd request - I'm currently on a mountain trip, so it's hard for me to go through them and add anything missing - could you talk them with an rfe or something (rfe would be best) so that way when I can, I can go back and add missing etymologies and such? Thanks Vininn126 (talk) 08:14, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Terms from Wikipedia
You should be careful when adding terms from Wikipedia, they sometimes have weird stuff on there. Kleptokracja is attestable, but not very, and I could easily see adding some term that's not actually a thing. This goes for translations, too. Vininn126 (talk) 10:34, 10 February 2022 (UTC)


 * You also need to make sure if a term is tantum=s or not. Vininn126 (talk) 10:53, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Copyright
Hi. Many of the Icelandic entries you added around November 2020 (such as skikkanlegur) are taken word-for-word, meaning-label-for-meaning-label from Forlagið's Icelandic–English Dictionary. This is somewhat of an issue for copyright reasons and these entries would need to be deleted and written anew. Were you working from a set list of words or are you otherwise able to go through your entries and mark the infringing ones for deletion? Hvergi (talk) 19:28, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Will it still be a copyright issue if I add quotations to the entries? --Numberguy6 (talk) 20:02, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I have edited the entry at . Is it still a copyright violation? --Numberguy6 (talk) 20:18, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes it is still a copyright violation when taken verbatim or near-verbatim even with some items added or switched around, not to mention when entries are copied in mass. The only solution would be to delete them and start over. Hvergi (talk) 20:51, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * If your give me a list of entries that may violate copyright, then I can go through and fix all of them. --Numberguy6 (talk) 03:27, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

German nouns
You can't get a weak noun just by specifying the genitive as en, e.g. in Abstinent. You should use the following:

or similar. Benwing2 (talk) 04:29, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Icelandic phrases
Numberguy6, you do not speak Icelandic and adding incorrect entries to a dictionary isn't acceptable. Several of your phrase translations were extremely incorrect, and your other entries continue to be either be taken directly from the Icelandic-English dictionary or contain misunderstandings from you translating information from Islex. Hvergi (talk) 11:29, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for correcting me. Note that I took a lot of the phrases that I added directly from Icelandic phrasebook (which were added by other people), so I recommend that you go through that and correct all of them.

Mongolian script
Hello - please don't add Mongolian script entries that you've copied and pasted from Mongolian Wiktionary, as they're often wrong (and often very badly wrong). Most Mongolians who are able to access Wiktionary (i.e. those in Mongolia itself) don't read the script, so we can't just assume they've been written by someone familiar with it.

I have corrected the entry at based on two dictionaries I have available to me, but I would strongly advise that you just leave these in future. Theknightwho (talk) 04:10, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for letting me know. I have added a warning to Template:mn-variant/documentation. Numberguy6 (talk) 04:16, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Incorrect translations
Hey. Please don't add translations in languages you don't know. You seem to be copying Wikipedia titles but that's unfortunately a very bad strategy as anybody can make up anything on Wikipedia, especially the smaller ones. If mass-copying Wikipedia titles into our translation boxes were a net benefit for Wiktionary, we would already have set up a bot to do so. To give you an example where this goes wrong, in you added the German Low German translation Hygromeater (without a gender, mind you). This term is absolutely not attested from what I can see. See WT:TRANS: words added to translation tables are subject to attestation requirements as well. &mdash; Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 12:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

German weak noun declension
Hey, your declension table at Kavallerist was incorrect. When a masculine noun takes an -en ending for the genitive singular, it will have a weak declension. To specify this, you should use this format:

Writing "m,en,en" will cause the declension to be wrong in the dative and accusative singular. Megathonic (talk) 07:04, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
