Hi Richardb, Paul again.

Commendable as the Wikisaurus idea is, could you hold off on adding entries until it has been discussed in the beer parlour? We usually discuss major changes like this one before going ahead, to make sure we get some kind of consensus. Thanks. &mdash; Paul G 14:25, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC) (Wiktionary sysop)

Admin request
I just noticed your request for adminship, and the matter is under active consideration. Eclecticology 10:07, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I've just processed your admin request. I can confess that I had a few concerns about doing so, and I think that I can now speak openly about them.  Matters relating to your good faith were not a part of the problem.  Primarily, I saw that you had taken on a big project, but my experience with people taking this sort of thing on is that they often get bored when they are part way through.  They then disappear without notice leaving an incomplete mess to be sorted out.  I had to satisfy myself that there was a reasonable chance that you would see this through.  Secondly, I had noticed that a few of your efforts had turned out weirdly.  This could have been caused by a lack of familarity with the system, or I could be faced with a "schlemiel".  These are the kinds of people for whom everything always goes blamelessly wrong even when they do everything right.  Anyway, I've overcome my concerns, and look forward to your long contributory presence here.  Eclecticology 08:29, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

FUCK
Richardb, sorry if I whacked your fine preliminary entry for fuck. I noticed the vandalism, and at first tried merging the differences manually, but the foreign characters were too much for me. I cut-n-pasted into Excel, copied column 2 into notepad, then pasted that back in here. I think the current version is still missing the pronunciation... --Connel MacKenzie 07:45, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
