Really?[edit]

@Atitarev Did you make this edit because of my user page? XD – AWESOME meeos * (chōmtī hao /t͡ɕoːm˩˧.tiː˩˧ haw˦˥/) 13:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, any edit I make gets added to my watchlist. So, your user page is on my watchlist as well. I noticed a Chinese word that I wasn't sure about that's why I added some translations, not to please you, ha-ha. Your edits are on my radar too. You keep playing with Wiktionary, users and their time and patience and your own reputation. Despite what Vahagn says, I won't hesitate to tell you about my observations and suspicions and may block you if you violate the rules or become a burden to regular editors. --Anatoli T.

Re: various reverts of anon-added etymologies[edit]

None of these should have been removed so quickly IMO; each of these edits is more or less correct (I can't vouch for the etymology of клонить but it seems like a start; the source - if the information is indeed in the source given - is legitimate, if dated), especially the latter two diffs here shown. It would have been more constructive and less abrasive to this anon editor (whose edits seem to be in good faith and fairly well-informed) to simply reformat them to be more in line with Wiktionary standards (as you did here) instead of removing them altogether (resulting in a loss of useful content). The "load of unformatted headstrainers" at клонить especially is not that much of a headstrainer at all for people who know what they're looking at, and was actually reasonably well formatted, though it would've been better with the proper templates of course (I've edited it since). Please be more restrained with these reverts in the future, or refer to WT:ES if you're not sure about something. — Kleio (t · c) 17:35, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@KIeio: Will do next time. Thanks for reformatting as well! — AWESOME meeos * (не нажми́те здесь [nʲɪ‿nɐʐˈmʲi.tʲe zʲdʲesʲ]) 20:03, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removing November and December requests[edit]

In this edit, you removed two months before their time. We always maintain the last three months, which means the Requests page should be displaying November, December, and January (plus new requests in February as they are added). That's why we only archive a single month at a time. —Stephen (Talk) 00:14, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Stephen G. Brown, if you want to know why I removed November and December like that, it is because of what the 2016 archives said: Wiktionary:Translation requests/archive/2016 (January–December). I wanted it to be true to its word – AWESOME meeos * (chōmtī hao /t͡ɕoːm˩˧.tiː˩˧ haw˦˥/) 00:23, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In May when we archive the January requests, the archive will be named Wiktionary:Translation requests/archive/2017 (January–December). We gradually fill it a month at a time. —Stephen (Talk) 00:38, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Awesomemeeos, you have the Russian words «не нажми́те здесь» in your signature. You can't use a perfective imperative in the negative. It is considered so insulting that it is actually ungrammatical. You should use «не нажима́йте сюда́» instead. —Stephen (Talk) 15:17, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Stephen G. Brown  Done (by the way, no need to ping me on my user page. I already get notified.) — AWESOME meeos * (не нажима́йте сюда́ [nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 20:06, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Stephen G. Brown Thanks, I didn't bother correcting because he seems just practising. I wouldn't call it "insulting", just unnatural. Perfective/imperfective distinction is known to be the hardest feature for learners of Slavic languages. Even between Slavs there may not be enough intuitiveness. @Awesomemeeos, perhaps you shouldn't expose sentences you're not fluent with until they are verified? --Anatoli T.

Difference between 生命 and 生活 (both mean "life"): 生命 = life/existence/being alive, 生活 = life/everyday life. 我沒有生命 = I'm dead. There is no direct translation for "I have no life" in Chinese; you have to say "我的生活很無趣" or "我沒事情做". Wyang (talk) 10:55, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The French on your user page[edit]

Just a note about that French sentence on your user page: "adicté" is not a word in French, and don't forget that adjectives follow nouns! I think a better way of phrasing that part of your sentence would be "un fan obsédé" or something similar (but I'm not a native speaker, so there may be an even more natural way of saying it). Andrew Sheedy (talk) 10:16, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We'll wait and see — AWESOME meeos * (не нажима́йте сюда́ [nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 10:17, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, adicté isn't a word in French, but you could instead use the expression "être addict de", obviously a borrowing from English. Alternatively you could say "être un fan inconditionnel de" (formal) or "être accroc à" (colloquial). Julien Daux (talk) 16:44, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Did you notice the pronunciation before you changed it? This word (and its derivations) are sort of an anomaly; the first "r" is actually not pronounced. Not sure what the business was with that final optional schwa though. Either way, we can't use the pronunciation template in all cases. Also I don't know your source on ambiguous "o"s and "e"s, but I recommend [1]. Ultimateria (talk) 00:09, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ultimateria:, I did notice the pronunciation. But I didn't know that the 'r' was actually optional. I just thought it was a colloquial pronunciation — AWESOME meeos * (не нажима́йте сюда́ [nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 00:28, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, is puntet correct? — AWESOME meeos * (не нажима́йте сюда́ [nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 00:30, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I believe so. Ultimateria (talk) 10:03, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ultimateria: I infer the ambiguous o's and e's from Catalan wiki, or if there are western and eastern dialects from English wiki. Sometimes I have to take a guess and therefore will go to Category:Catalan terms needing attention.

Module Errors[edit]

Whatever the previous state of the formatting, a module error is worse. It renders the content unreadable and is alarming to site visitors. Deliberately leaving a page like that borders on vandalism. If I hadn't reverted you, I have no reason to believe that you wouldn't just continue doing that- I had to get your attention. Also, your "upgrade" left it with {{etyl}}, which is poor practice, if not worthy of a revert in itself. As for fixing it myself, I was doing the research necessary for a more complete reworking of the etymologies, but you undid my revert before I had the chance. As for the rest of your edit comment: those are some of the oddest things to put in an edit comment I've seen in quite a while. I've given you a time out so you can cool off. Chuck Entz (talk) 00:02, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Chuck Entz: You're not cooling me off; you just made me more angry ಠ_ಠ. Like I said, I have mental issues. Now what can I do? Please unblock me. I don't have anything else to do. Australians can get quite angry sometimes. If you unblock me now, we both don't have to suffer — AWESOME meeos * (не нажима́йте сюда́ [nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 00:03, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Chuck Entz: It was just a mistake I made. I was only trying to help. Instead of blocking to everything else, why don't you just block me for that page? There are many other beneficial things I can do, like using {{ca-IPA}} in replacement of manual IPA for Cataln entries. — AWESOME meeos * (не нажима́йте сюда́ [nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 00:19, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Working on a wiki requires getting along with other people, and some compromises. You need to learn to relax and take things in stride if you're going to accomplish anything around here. Your block should be over by now. Enjoy the rest of your day. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I get along with other people in Wiktionary quite well. They may revert my edits; and if they tell me why, I'll be fine with that. But sometimes, I may not understand straight away. Next time, before one blocks me, they should be reasonable (as you said compromise) and maybe only block me for that page. — AWESOME meeos * (не нажима́йте сюда́ [nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 01:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I will calm down, relax, and move on if you do something that will make me happy. Why don't you check out my user page? — AWESOME meeos * (не нажима́йте сюда́ [nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 01:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's not necessarily the case. It's more specific than that: the regular outcome of Latin -act- is -et- in Catalan. Compare lac(t) > let, tractus > tret, factus > fet. Since this term shows -ct- instead, it must be a later borrowing. —CodeCat 22:26, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Punjabi[edit]

I reverted part of your edit on ਸਤਿ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ (sat śrī akāl), specifically the transliteration changes. The reason it does not correspond to the actual word is because the phrase is traditionally pronounced that way. It is misleading to anyone who cannot read IPA to see sati śrī akāl. I suspect your knowledge of Punjabi is minimal, so please refrain from changing the transliterations unless you're absolutely sure Module:pa-translit handles the word correctly. —Aryamanarora (मुझसे बात करो) 15:57, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Aryamanarora The 2 occurrences of sati in the usage notes should probably be reverted too? Julien Daux (talk) 18:00, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Aryamanarora But I thought that the module did do its job correctly... — AWESOME meeos * ([nʲɪ‿bʲɪ.spɐˈko.ɪtʲ]) 20:36, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Julien Daux No, ਸਤਿ by itself is pronounced sati. Only in this specific phrase is it pronounced sati.
@Awesomemeeos No module is 100% accurate because there are always exception to whatever "rule" it uses to transliterate words. There is no specific reason ਸਤਿ should be sat in this phrase, it just is. —Aryamanarora (मुझसे बात करो) 02:22, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Aryamanarora That's what Im saying. The full phrase appears twice in the usage notes, and is transliterated as sati. It wasn't like that before Awesomemeeos's change. Julien Daux (talk) 02:43, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stop editing languages you don't know[edit]

You keep being told this, but you don't listen.

Be careful about gender. You marked Fiji Hindi as feminine in the Fiji Hindi language. I'm not certain myself, but I doubt that Fiji Hindi has gender at all. Fiji Hindi is much simpler than Hindi, and the Fiji language does not have gender. In Fiji Hindi, speakers use the masculine pronoun for all nouns. A woman is he, a table is he, everything is he. Also no plural. And if you assumed feminine gender for any other languages based on Hindi gender, that would be a dangerous assumption. Better to not to specify gender than to put the wrong gender. —Stephen (Talk) 03:54, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would also think twice about changing the Hebrew חַרקוב. Kharkiv is normally written as חַרקוב in Hebrew, without any diacritics. The mark you added is called a patah, and it indicates that the vowel should be "a". You probably know that Hebrew words may be written with a lot of different marks above and beneath letters. They are matres lectiones and cantillation marks, and are not to be used in names of entries. They are like adding IPA to a word. —Stephen (Talk) 04:20, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the patah disappears, that's great. But that source you used only added patah under the first letter. If you're going to put patah there, you need to include all the vowel points. I don't know what vowel points are used in that word, so I can't be of help. —Stephen (Talk) 04:37, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Stephen G. Brown Hi. IMHO, it's probably arguable if it's not acceptable to use vocalisations on foreign words. Morfix dictionary uses this spelling חַרקוֹב (I think it's probably the source Awesomemeeos has used.). Yes, this dictionary is considered legit. The same can be said about Arabic vocalisations - some purists frown when seeing loanwords vocalised. I think it's a matter of policies and it's up to dictionary creators. We do use vocalisations throughout, both for Hebrew and Arabic, accept for non-canonical Hebrew spellings. @Wikitiki89. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:54, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you're right that I used Morfix! — AWESOME meeos * ([nʲɪ‿bʲɪ.spɐˈko.ɪtʲ]) 04:56, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Morfix itself is pretty reliable. However, for many proper nouns, Morfix itself does not have a real entry, but rather shows an excerpt from the Hebrew Wikipedia (you can tell because it says at the bottom "Click to continue reading on Wikipedia - Hebrew , English"). Hebrew Wikipedia is not very reliable for vocalizations. But more importantly, if you don't know a language well enough to tell the difference between good information and bad information, please don't edit in that language. --WikiTiki89 15:30, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Wikitiki89: Well, maybe I should start not to trust Wikipedia and Wiktionary. I shall now proudly declare that this was a dictionary that betrayed me. I may take a short couple day break from editing the main articles — AWESOME meeos * ([nʲɪ‿bʲɪ.spɐˈko.ɪtʲ]) 15:34, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That seems like an unnecessary overreaction, no? Wikipedia and Wiktionary or any other open-source freely editable work can never be 100% accurate. Why, I find plenty of mistakes in the entries here (and occasionally on Wikipedia) and I correct them and move on. In fact, it isn't possible for such a resource to betray anyone. The contributors to wikis owe nothing to no one, so really they cannot "betray" you. —Aryamanarora (मुझसे बात करो) 00:57, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your block[edit]

You have added IPA with incorrect tones to chomera and other Chichewa entries. You know little or nothing about Chichewa, and have never edited in it before. I have been extremely careful to ensure consistent accuracy and quality in our Chichewa content, and many of our other editors are similarly careful and frustrated about having to fix your edits in the languages they work so hard on.
You have been warned repeatedly, and committed the same offence repeatedly. If you continue, you will receive increasingly lengthy blocks for each new offence. Should trusted editors who currently do not have sysop privileges like Wyang or Justinrleung report any offences, I will perform blocks on their behalf. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:30, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Metaknowledge: Can you at least shorten the block (to 1 week, at least)? The difference between 3 days to 2 weeks is very sudden. איר זענט נאָך דער בעסטער. אַ דאַנקAWESOME meeos * ([nʲɪ‿bʲɪ.spɐˈko.ɪtʲ]) 21:32, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No. This block is final. You should have blocked for your many offences committed since your last block, so this is a reasonable measure at this point. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:35, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And now you've tried to evade your block by editing as an IP. It's standard to give an indefinite block for this kind of behaviour, but I have decided to limit it to one year. If you can manage to respect that, then perhaps you will be able to become a better editor if you choose to return after that time. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:25, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Metaknowledge I have blocked his editing of his talk page because he was using to ping users and telling them what to do or bragging how he was active with other activities (previous block). I am also annoyed with the user but I wonder if a year is too harsh and I don't know if Meeos is familiar with theis rule - if you're blocked, don't edit as IP? Not sure if this qualifies as a block evasion. Correct me if I'm wrong. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:21, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is a definitive block evasion. He knew that I intended for him to avoid editing Wiktionary for these two weeks, understand the damage he has caused, and reflect on it. He also knew that he was breaking the rules, because he could not overcome his compulsion. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:25, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Suzukaze-c I think this needs some cleanup... — AWESOME meeos * ([nʲɪ‿bʲɪ.spɐˈko.ɪtʲ]) 00:37, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Enjoyable[edit]

Hi there. Just to say it's been quite entertaining to read your comments on Wiktionary. I have no idea what you're talking about most of the time, but it's kinda funny nonetheless. --WF April 2017 (talk) 22:33, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
