User talk:Babr/2024

Why are you deleting requests for definitions and posting fake definitions in their place?

For cat, would it be appropriate for me to add a translingual definition, "the word spelled C-A-T"? I assume that I'd be blocked for vandalism if I did. But that's exactly what you're doing. I don't understand this: aren't definitions supposed to be, well, definitions? kwami (talk) 00:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Nice strawman, but I'm just reverting you from mass deleting definitions against consensus. If you have a problem with those definitions then make a post in beer parlor, instead of editing thousands of edits against the communities wishes. — Sameer ^{﴾مشارکت‌ها・بحث﴿} 00:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

But they're not definitions! They're simply descriptions or Unicode names. A definition actually defines something. Usage, pronunciation, transliteration value, something. kwami (talk) 00:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Kwami, that's a point you should make in a BP discussion post to gain consensus from other editors. You've gotten in trouble before for this exact action, and should know better. I would be more forgiving if this was a first, but you have shown no regard for how many editors were upset by your last mass-deletion spree. — Sameer ^{﴾مشارکت‌ها・بحث﴿} 00:17, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

I've started a BP discussion. If the consensus is that we should use fake definitions, I'll abide by it, even if it is embarrassing have people turn WK into a fake dictionary. kwami (talk) 00:34, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm glad that you will be discussing the topic :). JSYK the issue the whole time was just the lack of consensus, nothing against you. — Sameer ^{﴾مشارکت‌ها・بحث﴿} 00:41, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

It's just frustrating to have to go through a month, or months, of discussion to get permission to delete what would be considered vandalism if added to the draft of any print dictionary. kwami (talk) 00:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

I see that you changed your name, Babr.

Etymologies of some Tajik terms

Salaam, I'd like to ask about some Tajik terms such as Авесто that you said cannot be written as اوستا since they have different etymologies. But what is the etymology of the Tajik term? I assume both have same etymology since Tajik о is usually corresponds to Persian long ا/آ. Also the source that you listed at Вожаҷӯ list اوستا as the Persian spelling of Авесто. This also apply to Банглодеш, which Вожаҷӯ also list بنگلادش as the Persian spelling (see https://vazhaju.tj/search/Банглодеш).

Thank you. Ekirahardian (talk) 14:31, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Ekirahardian Vozhaju is generally pretty accurate, but sometimes spuriously connects terms that are not related. A good way to know is the fact that the pronunciation of اوستا is only attested as /avasta/ in classical dictionary's. Additionally the spelling does not match regular spelling correspondences in Tajik at all. Tajik <е> comes from Majhool <ی> and majhool zer (i.e. zer before he, ayn, and hamza) if اوستا became Авесто (Avesto) that would not match the regular correspondence between Tajik and Classical Persian spelling.

Thank you for your help on Tajik entries though, I do appreciate it very much. I just would prefer that we list the Persian spelling when there is certainty that the spellings have the same etymology. — BABR・talk 18:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Why are you defining wrong words and meaning?

Your editing has no explanation 2600:8805:4322:4F00:8C01:55D9:C74D:7E06 12:48, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

hi @The Summum Bonum I left a generic welcome message on your talk page, please read the section about "entry layout" — BABR・talk 12:59, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

your reply is copy paste and doesn't answer or explains any of your actions 2600:8805:4322:4F00:FD79:6D0D:292E:D283 13:10, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

@The Summum Bonum Actually, it does answer your question. If you actually read our entry guidelines you would know that all of your edits did not meet Wiktionary's entry layout standards. To be frank, the fact that you even went out of your way to undo proper formatting in other entries multiple times is borderline vandalism and you're lucky you didn't get blocked by @Chuck Entz after the first 5 reverts. — BABR・talk 13:22, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

on the first edit you should have told me before copy paste your reply specify The Summum Bonum (talk) 13:34, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

so your also Bahr from Tajik , now I know why your editing on south East Asian matters where of the chart you name chuck but you speak Russian and Tajik also Turkish I presume The Summum Bonum (talk) 13:36, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Hopefully 🤞 I got this time right I was editing the topic instead of citations to the original author with the original template The Summum Bonum (talk) 16:18, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Your entry at kolorum still had a few formatting issues, but another user fixed it. A piece of advice, try to copy what other Tagalog editors do until you get the hang of it. Look at how kolorum looks now and try to format entries like that (the etymology does not need to be that long though). You'll get the hang of it with time, just keep practicing and keep looking at what other Tagalog editors do in their entries. — BABR・talk 00:59, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

" removed strike-through added by Purple"

FYI, I did not add that strikethrough. I believe Benwing added it when he considered closing it but later backtracked. Purplebackpack89 14:12, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:list:Latin script letters/Turkish

That is not how it works, this will not achieve what you are trying to do.

It will once you leave it be and let me remove Turkish from Module:letters/data in peace. – amateur (talk) 09:25, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

@Amateur55, I'd imagine that'd be difficult since that module is protected.

OTOH, I'd be happy to edit the module and add those letters for you, but you should discuss it with other Turkish editors first. — BABR・talk 09:36, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

'a

Hi. Guarani orthography on Wikt for glottal stop is mixed, but for Tahitian we use the 'okina, not an ASCII apostrophe. kwami (talk) 05:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

@Kwamikagami, feel free to change the Tahitian back. — BABR・talk 05:48, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

An admin admonished me that I shouldn't fix things per consensus without a discussion first, so I'm going to let that play out. kwami (talk) 05:53, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Your help

Thank you for letting me know how to tag someone in the edit summary (my previous username was "Berbuah salak"). Also, sorry if my additional comment were a bit aggressive. Salakku (talk) 11:44, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
