English rhymes on Wiktionary include the accented syllable to the end of the word: "Yemen" rhymes with "lemon", but not with "reason". Schwa ("ə") only appears in English in unaccented syllables, so any rhymes page that has it in the first or only syllable are incorrect. Please don't create any more of them that will have to be deleted. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 04:50, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Protecting a page
Sorry, I'm very slow at getting to reading my talk page (because there tends to be drama). As you were told, this is something limited to administrators. What page do you want to protect and why? If there's a lot of vandalism then I'm sure we can do it. If there's some edit warring/disagreement then sometimes WT:TR is the best first place. Equinox ◑ 04:01, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

FWOTDs
Hi, I've noticed that you have added some new words as Foreign Words of the Day. I appreciate your help, especially as we're running low on possible FWOTDs. However, there's a few things you should know before setting new FWOTDs in the future:


 * 1) All (Chinese) FWOTDs need a quote. It would be appreciated if you could add quotes to the FWOTDs you've added (use Template:zh-x to add quotes; quotes need to be taken from a source rather than something you have made up).
 * 2) Rather than adding FWOTDs directly for a certain date, the system is set up so you're intended to nominate FWOTDs at Foreign Word of the Day/Nominations. Given the lack of FWOTDs, the ones that you have already added can stay there once they have quotes and/or citations, but  it would be appreciated if you nominated any future FWOTDs rather than directly adding them.
 * 3) In general, it's a good idea to try and mix things up with FWOTDs; rather than adding FWOTDs for the same language on two consecutive or nearly-consecutive days, it's a good idea to have at least two days before featuring a FWOTD from the same language again. If you're only really interested in nominating entries in one language, then it's okay to leave gaps for other people (pretty much me right now, but hopefully more people will start nominating/adding FWOTDs) to fill. --Hazarasp (parlement · werkis) 03:55, 7 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Got it. -- Thedarkknightli (talk) 10:40, 7 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Thedarkknightli, 世外桃源 doesn't have a proper CFI-compliant quote yet. The one in the etymology is not a proper quote for the idiom because it doesn't appear as 世外桃源. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 07:07, 18 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Got it. -- Thedarkknightli (talk) 09:15, 18 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I hope you really do get it. I've added a citation to 世外桃源 as an example of what we want. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 20:55, 18 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you. -- Thedarkknightli (talk) 21:01, 18 August 2019 (UTC)


 * No problem! If you'd like to help out with FWOTDs, there are still some (Chinese) words that need citations in the "not ready" section of WT:FWOTDN. It'd be better to leave the job of making the actual FWOTD pages to or other more experienced editors. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 21:07, 18 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Got it. I promise to improve myself. -- Thedarkknightli (talk) 21:17, 18 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Happy editing! — justin(r)leung { (t...) 02:19, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Nominating people for admin
Some have said this to you already, but to reiterate: always ask people whether they are interested in becoming an admin before nominating them. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  09:33, 21 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Got it. Sorry. -- Thedarkknightli (talk) 10:59, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Wu pronunciations
Please read WT:AZH/Wu to see how the Wu romanization works. Tone is not marked on every syllable because of left-prominent tone sandhi. The + sign means something particular; it's used for right-prominent tone sandhi. If you're not sure about this, please refrain from adding Wu pronunciations. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 03:49, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Got it. Sorry for that. I'll read it carefully. -- TheDarkKnightLi 🦇 🃏 04:31, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:40, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Formatting of your signature
Hi, the wikitext formatting of your signature is causing all text appearing after it to become bold. You can fix it by adding a zero-width space as follows:. — SGconlaw (talk) 20:40, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see! Thanks for your kind advice! --theDarkKnightLi 🙏 🔧 20:47, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Anyway, what you just did above is fine too … — SGconlaw (talk) 20:49, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Anyway, thanks! 😄 --theDarkKnightLi 🙏 🔧 20:55, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Kunming
Hi, I'm wondering what source you're using for Kunming. I've been having trouble finding a good source for it. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 02:59, 11 May 2020 (UTC)


 * 昆明方言志 (卢开磏). --theDarkKnightLi 🙏 🔧 08:39, 11 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Ooh, that looks like a great source. Thanks! — justin(r)leung { (t...) 08:44, 11 May 2020 (UTC)


 * No problem. Truth to tell, words in 昆明方言志 are limited. 昆明方言词典 (张华文 & 毛玉玲) probably has more words. Therefore, I'll take a look at it in library someday. --theDarkKnightLi 🙏 🔧 09:13, 11 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Definitely, but it's better than what I had before, which was just 云南省志 (卷五十八 汉语方言志) and the first edition of 汉语方言词汇. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 09:17, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Hope you're doing well
Hi, this is a little late, but just wanted to say that your work is much appreciated, especially your work on Wu. I hope you're doing well, and whenever you feel comfortable to come back, you're more than welcome to do so! — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:08, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

勿 or 弗 in Wu?
An IP changed all the 勿 to 弗 in Module:zh/data/dial-syn/不 in this. Should this word be written as 勿 or 弗 in Wu? Thanks in advance! RcAlex36 (talk) 13:23, 4 July 2021 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, 勿 is more common if the initial is /v/, while 弗 is more common if the initial is /f/. --TheDarkKnightLi &#8203;(STAY HAPPY) 12:41, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Module:zh/data/dial-syn/馬屁精 Shantou
Hi, I'm not sure if you're going to check this, but if you are, do you remember where you got the Shantou words from? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 02:20, 8 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Never mind, sorry for bothering you, I found them in 广东省志‧方言志 and 汕头方言词汇. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 02:27, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No worries! --TheDarkKnightLi &#8203;(STAY HAPPY) 02:55, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
