User talk:Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV/Things to be done

These are a lot of important points, and I think that it's helpful to see them listed thus. I don't agree with all of them, though; especially the question of glosses, because most technical vocabulary is so obscure that its definition can only be one thing.

Some of these issues may simply not be possible to solve, in which case they aren't exactly "things to be done". We can't effectively patrol things like Maori translations (an anon adds a lot of them) because only a couple editors know any, and speaking as one of those editors, I don't feel like checking my dictionary for every edit just to be sure they're all good.

But a few of these could be improved by making relevant votes, which I'd certainly be willing to help with. The possibility of merging Norwegian and auto-collapsing/moving content sections above the definition line have been on my hitlist for a while now, and I think if we could just get those to pass, we'd be in a better position on at least a couple of points. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:48, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
 * The Norwegian merger was voted on last year. It’s not the non-merger itself that pisses me off, it’s that the Norwegian editors voted against merging but refuse to treat Bokmål and Nynorsk as different languages meriting standalone entries.
 * Yeah... this page turned out to be more of a rant than an list of things to be done. — Ungoliant (falai) 21:04, 15 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I thoroughly enjoyed reading this page. Then I read it again, pretending it was a personal criticism of myself, which made me enjoy reading it even more. Thanks for the namecheck, UM. --Stubborn Pen (talk) 22:50, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Some of it is criticism of you! — Ungoliant (falai) 22:51, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I feel that I should get criticised more for using the wrong punctuation marks in talk pages too. And for frogetting to sign my name, and spelling errors.
