中国话
Before you nominate other valuable Chinese words (I know that the entry which you tagged required a significant effort in order to be wikified), it would be recommendable to look up in Chinese wikipedia whether there is some article about the word, i. e. to determine that it is not a hoax. In this particular case, you did not need to do even this, since the two extant interwiki links to ja and zh.wikt suggested this is a real word. In my opinion, a would have proven much more beneficial to the entry and conducive to its expansion in lieu of its deletion. Do not consider this a reproof (because of the entry’s pitiful condition by the time you tagged it), but instead a recommendation. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 18:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Understood. I was debating upon whether or not an  tag would have been worth the effort put onto it, but I've had others gripe about me putting it on entries before in the past, so I just marked it for deletion.  I'll definitely add an attention tag the next time that happens. Razorflame 18:11, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Your recent action
Hello, I'm aware that Wiktionary and Wikipedia have different procedures, and I respect that, but I believe it would be beneficial for Wiktionary to revamp the Abuse reports project. The project is currently inactive (and has been since 2006), so a revamp is really needed for it to stay functional. Would it be alright for me to move the project to Abuse response and integrate it with Wikipedia's project? Of course, WT would stay independent, but this revamp would allow it to function more efficiently. Netalarm 02:28, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Razorflame - I wonder whether you'd mind if I removed your autopatrol flag temporarily to test Yair Rand's hypothesis at WT:GP that your global rollback right gives you the autopatrol automatically? Conrad.Irwin 00:03, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes, if one can be trusted with a global tool, one should be trusted to make good edits, although, I cannot say that that is always the case.

Inflammatory comments
When someone has just blocked you, it is stupid to laugh in their face about having just been unblocked. All that kind of comment does is to further anger everyone. If you do so again, I will block you for stupidity. Thanks. Conrad.Irwin 18:20, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Fortsätter debatten här...
Underförstått: din redigeringar hittills leder mig inte till att tro att din kunskaper i svenska är så särdeles djupgående, förutom vad du nu läst dig till i ordböcker. Jag skulle ha vissa problem med att se dig lägga till svenska uppslag som enbart är baserade på vad du sett i andra ordböcker, då detta dels leder till missförstånd, dels leder det till att åtminstone jag blir orolig för upphovsrättsproblematiken. \Mike 19:25, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi there Mike. No, there isn't a need to worry about copyright infringements because I get my knowledge from public domain sources.  Bogorm, my knowledge of Swedish is at an sv-1 level, which should tell you that I understand it, but to a limited extent. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 19:45, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Hm. Okay, let's just hope there's someone around to check your Swedish entries the way I did today - there were, as you've already noted, a couple of errors and misunderstandings. I just want to make one thing certain: do you expect me to check all your entries for misunderstood Swedish? \Mike 20:04, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Czech entries
I wonder: what is the source for the Czech entries that you are creating? The only public domain Czech-English dictionary that I know of is Slovník česko-anglický: s úplnou anglickou výslovnosti by Karel Jonáš, 1890. --Dan Polansky 17:15, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi there Dan. I recently purchased this print dictionary: English-Czech, Czech-English dictionary by Ivan Pouldauf.  That is where I've been finding my terms, while verifying them through other means.  Are any of them questionable or wrong?  If they are, please let me know!  None of the words used from the print dictionary are copyright violations because they specifically claimed that it was free use on their copyright page. Furthermore, all words found in the dictionary were also found on this website that I use that is licensed through the GNU GFDL license :) <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 17:31, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you saying that the Poldauf dictionary is in public domain? Ivan Poldauf died in 1984..
 * Note that GFDL license is not the license of Wiktionary. The license of Wiktionary is Creative Commons Attribution/Share-alike and GFDL, so direct taking over of translation pairs from a GFDLed dictionary could border on copyright violation. I say "could border", as I am not very clear about whether translation pairs can be copyrighted. --Dan Polansky 19:32, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Last time I checked, translation pairs couldn't be copyrighted (I talked to BD about this like 4 months ago) and he said that translation pairs could not be copyrighted, but that the dictionary could. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 22:38, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * IANAL but I am pretty sure that if you copy significant portions of a dictionary that is a "derivative work" and breaches their copyright. Equinox ◑ 08:48, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Then again, are you saying that the Poldauf dictionary is in public domain? What do you mean by "None of the words used from the print dictionary are copyright violations because they specifically claimed that it was free use on their copyright page" (italics added by me)? Does "they" in the italics refer to Poldauf? What exactly does it say on the copyright page of the Poldauf dictionary? --Dan Polansky 10:11, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, since I'm naturally suspicious: the fact that something appears on a Web site claiming to be under a free licence does not necessarily make it so. Can you show us the Web site, the wording there, and the other wording you mention in the dictionary itself? It is very important for us not to "poison our well" by infringing any copyrights, and could even leave WMF open to embarrassing and expensive litigation. Equinox ◑ 13:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Dan, the dictionary is copyrighted, but the website that I use is not. http://slovnik.cz is the website that I use.  It lists this on one of its pages, which I assumed meant the GNU/FDL license: anglicko - český: 70 tis. slovíček (zdroj: GNU/FDL Anglicko-Český slovník, ve výpisu zkratka "g").  If this is not a sufficient enough of proof, then I am deeply sorry because I did not know that they were copyright violations (if what I wrote above turns out to be not enough proof that it is not the same license.  In that instance, I will mark every Czech entry that I've made in the past week for deletion myself and I will either stop working on this site, or work only in English, Italian, Spanish, Esperanto, and Ido again. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 17:06, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The Wiktionary Terms of Use (see [[m:Terms of Use]]) expressly forbid the importation of text from elsewhere that is not available under terms that are compatible with the CC-BY-SA license. The GFDL is not currently compatible with the CC-BY-SA license. So yes, please mark all of these entries for deletion. —Ruakh <i >TALK</i > 22:10, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Ruakh, I have done so with every entry that I have used information from this site. I hope that that will solve this problem.  From now on, I'll probably create Czech entries using information from the Czech Wiktionary and Wikipedia. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 16:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Slovnik.cz contains not only data licensed under GNU GFDL (which is insufficient for Wiktionary anyway, for Wiktionary needs CC-BY-SA, as mentioned by Ruakh), but also data provided by LangSoft, provided by an unspecified license. Slovnik.cz says that "Hlavní slovní zásoba slovníku.cz vychází ze zredukované slovní zásoby desktopové verze produktu PC Translator společnosti LangSoft", in English, approximately "The main bulk of the vocabulary of slovnik.cz stems from the reduced vocabulary of the desktop version of the PC Translator product, by the LangSoft company". What could have confused you is the statement "20.březen 2009: Rozšíření slovní zásoby anglicko - českého slovníku o slovíčka z projektu GNU/FDL Anglicko-Český slovník. Ve výpisu označena jako "g"", which merely says that the vocabulary of slovnik.cz has been extended by the vocabulary of another project, licensed under GNU GFDL; the other project is http://slovnik.zcu.cz/online/. It is only natural that you could not read this information properly, as you speak no Czech. Sigh. --Dan Polansky 22:18, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Re "Dan, the dictionary is copyrighted, but the website that I use is not": Huh? Are you saying that http://slovnik.cz is not copyrighted? That is improbable. Even if the website were licensed under a free-as-in-freedom license compatible with CC-BY-SA, it would still be copyrighted. Have you found the licensing terms of slovnik.cz? What are they? --Dan Polansky 22:21, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * No, slovnik.cz is copyrighted, but since I thought that since GFDL was a sufficient enough license to use, I thought that it was okay to use information from that site. I use lots of information from other sites, though, but as promised, I'll make every page that I've made from that site for deletion. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 22:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Let me make one thing clear: even if slovnik.cz were licensed solely under GFDL (which it is not), and even if Wiktionary were licensed solely by GFDL (which it is not), you would still be obliged by GFDL to keep attribution of your source, which you could do in your edit summaries. --Dan Polansky 22:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok. I will in the future.  In the meantime, I must request the deletion of the ones I made from the site. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 22:50, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I have deleted all of your Czech entries requested for deletion --Volants 08:47, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Can you stay away from Czech entries altogether? (On 13 June, you have created "voltáž".) --Dan Polansky 09:47, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * So long as they are correct, and that they come from sources that they are compatible with our licensing here, I see no reason to do so, but for the time being, I can't make many Czech entries because I don't have the sourcing to do so. I cannot promise to stay away from Czech all together because I have a real genuine interest in the language, but I can promise that I'll look for sources that comply with our licenses before I make any further entries :). <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 16:55, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You don't need to promise anything, as you would not keep any promise that you make anyway.
 * I am merely requesting that you stay away from Czech. --Dan Polansky 17:14, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Why should I have to stay away from Czech when the entries that I made were correct? I mean, doesn't that seem counterintuitive? <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 17:17, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You should stay away from Czech entries because you cannot know whether they are correct, and because of your history of carelessness and poor judgment. As simple as that. Just few days ago, you claimed of two copyrighted sources that they were free to use in Wiktionary. That does not inspire trust. I have better things to do than monitoring your actions. --Dan Polansky 17:24, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You don't have to monitor anything because I only add information that is correct. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 17:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed you often make minute edits simply to insert "to" in verb entries, why is that? The lemma of Danish verbs is infinitive so it doesn't add any information. Further more the correct translation of e.g. "to dare" would be "at turde", and we don't write that, except in the template.--Leo Laursen – (talk · contribs) 21:54, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Leolaursen, I know that the infinitive forms of Danish verbs include at before the verb, however, since the at IS included in the inflection line, that automatically provides the sourcing needed to add to before the verb because the inflection line dictates the definition. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 16:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Just a habit that dictionaries have. It is correct by current Wiktionary practice. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:14, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

 * That isn’t my style. I’m not one to argue. I try to present what I want to say in a thoughful and complete manner, then I expect a reader to read it carefully, use some common sense, and understand what I’m saying. More often than not, the reader does not read it carefully, or does not have enough common sense to bring to bear, or is too focused on his own thoughts to process what I say. In any case, I only say it once. If what I say is not understood, or misunderstood, then that’s it. I don’t like to repeat myself. I figure that if they don’t get it the first time, either they can’t or they don’t want to.
 * It’s a personality difference. You’re looking for an arguer to argue your case and that just isn’t me. —Stephen 16:18, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Emailed: ''I'm not asking you to argue my case for me, but rather your own case that you made for me. That is all that I was hoping you could do :(

 * It is the same thing. I do not argue my cases, I explain once and hope that someone will get it. —Stephen 00:38, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Don't know if you'll ever read this, but ...
I noticed that your block expired a few hours ago. Despite all the controversy surrounding you, I sincerely think you have the potential to be a great editor given some more experience and patience. Not many people are as enthusiastic as you; I hope you'll consider giving Wiktionary another try sometime in the future. Best regards. (You're also missed at Simple Wiktionary.) <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  01:15, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll second that. --Thrissel 21:13, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Index:Kannada/ಠ
Hi Razorflame. If you are still interested in Kannada, do you feel like adding some stuff into that page? Right now it is devoid of anything useful. Its title is valid and folks may be discouraged from modifying it, if it were to be deleted. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 16:46, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi there Bogorm. This page was meant to be a reference guide to the script of Kannada more than an actual page.  The only help it can give is to help users who are trying to learn the script.  That is why I believe it is necessary to keep the page. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 17:26, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

 * You like sloppy careless vigilante editing? Lol — <font face="Lucida console"> [Ric Laurent] — 14:38, 13 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see a reason to actively repel users from the project in this manner. Some users are more prone to error than others. Razor had his faults, but one year is plenty of time to mature and develop. <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  15:48, 13 August 2011 (UTC)


 * To actively repel users who are constantly making mistakes through carelessness and lack of research? lol. I can see making typos, I do that way more than I would prefer. Some of them sit for months before being noticed and I'm always really embarrassed by it. Razorflame was never embarrassed enough by his mistakes to be sufficiently more cautious in his future editing to make less mistakes. By the way, do you not thoroughly know his history and why he was such a controversial figure here? We're not talking about just somebody making some mistakes. We're talking about something systematic. When someone would point out the horrid number of mistakes he was making in one language, he would just move to another. He did this for a long time. I don't think a year is enough for... I'll say "someone like him". — <font face="Lucida console"> [Ric Laurent] — 17:22, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I do see your point, and I agree that a block back then was fully in order. At the same time I don't think his errors were due to malice as much as ignorance. I'm well aware of his history; I'm also aware that an adolescent can mature considerably within a single year, more so than an adult. I don't want to start arguing, however; that would only take away time that both of us could have been using to improve the dictionary. Can we agree to disagree, amicably? <font face="Georgia">Tempodivalse <font face="Georgia">[talk]  17:28, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

welcome back
Hi RF, welcome back here. Nothing much has changed in the last 2 years, I guess. Gained a few users, lost a few. Some of us have matured, others not so much. What have you been doing the last 2 years anyway? Me, I moved to Barcelona a year or so ago. Enjoying it immensely

Telugu nouns
Some of the Category:Telugu nouns definitely have a gender. I do not know about the other Indian languages. There are about 100 masculine and feminine nouns now in this list.Rajasekhar1961 (talk) 10:21, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Pronunciation of conlangs
Conlangs always have logical, predictable pronunciation, right? I noticed that many Esperanto and Ido entries lack pronunciation, even though it's always easy to figure out. I can make a template to make it a lot easier, modeled after (but with a single row). Are you interested in testing it out and adding it to entries if I make it? --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:25, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably not. I'm not going to be active here, so I doubt I'll check it out.  Furthermore, we can't add pronunciations to the Ido entries because there are no IPA standards used for Ido words yet. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 20:03, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

pedaali
1 Why did you revert edits by user 88.114.217.21? Pedaali is not pieni-type word, it is paperi-type word by joukahainen-puimula.org.--Sentree (talk) 09:49, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Reverted due to the fact that it looked like vandalism at that time and none of the native Finnish speakers were online at the time. <b style="color:#00C">Raz</b><b style="color:#009">or</b><b style="color:#006">fl</b><b style="color:#003">am</b><b style="color:#000">e</b> 22:33, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
