Are you an alternate account of User:Orrigarmi? Houflings (talk) 08:54, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bikol Central tano[edit]

Hi Otterfolwer! Can you have another look at this edit of yours? Both "tâno" and "tàno" yield /ˈtaʔno/. I guess you might have intended different outputs, but I don't know enough about C. Bikol to fix it myself. –Austronesier (talk) 20:37, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hyphenation[edit]

i think malisyoso can be both 3 and 4 syllables...

Hyphenation: ma‧lis‧yo‧so, ma‧li‧syo‧so


@Mar vin kaiser can you look... Houflings (talk) 10:57, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Headers and Subheaders[edit]

@Otterfolwer What you did in anyaya, can you not do that? Everything under one pronunciation or one etymology (that's numbered) needs to be a lower subheader. I'm reversing your edit, and please reverse any other edits you did like this. Please respond if you understand. Thanks. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 08:50, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Otterfolwer: Hi, please acknowledge if you understood, thanks. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:09, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Otterfolwer: Please respond. If you're gonna be an editor in Wiktionary, please engage with other editors. Also check my message on syllabification in Tagalog. Thanks. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:13, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Angry register label[edit]

The labels with 'said in anger' are now categorized; you can also use 'angry', 'anger' and 'angry register' to the Template:lb template. Houflings (talk) 12:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mar vin kaiser hi Houflings (talk) 12:24, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Houflings: Thanks! --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:14, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Tagalog Entries[edit]

Hey, I noticed that you're editing some Tagalog entries as well. Note that there are other editors here than you, and there must be a reason why they edited it like that. Please don't change something if it's not obviously a typo, or you think there's wrong formatting. You can ask us why we put it like that. Let's work together to make Wiktionary good. It's respect to fellow editors. Please respond to this, as I noticed you almost never respond to other editors. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 10:06, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Otterfolwer: Please respond. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 12:58, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Otterfolwer: Please respond. By the way, you edited sawsaw, why did you change the pronunciation? It's pronounced with an ultimate accent. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 06:42, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Houflings Sorry! It seems like a wrongly tagged you a few days ago lol. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 06:43, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Entries from other Bikol Languages[edit]

@Otterfolwer I see you're adding entries from other Bikol languages, but it's impossible that you speak all of them. And published sources for these are limited to linguist notes, as far as I know. So may I ask where you got them? Because I'm suspicious that you might be guessing them, in which case, I'll have to delete the entries you added.

Removing Other's Edits[edit]

@Otterfolwer I get that you update many entries from different languages, and that's good, but before you remove someone's edit, ask them where it's sourced, because it might be important information you're removing. I'm mainly talking about your edits in hindi. Your addition is correct, I verified it, but don't remove other info before verifying. Again, don't remove other people's edits willy-nilly. OK?

Kapampangan Entries[edit]

@Otterfolwer Hello! I saw your entry at Kapampangan:katawan. According to Wiktionary:About_Kapampangan, the main entry should be in Batiauan orthography, so the correct form should be katauan. Batiauan is similar to Guagua except it doesn't use the letter "w". Also, it's katáuan not katauán. Thanks! Ysrael214 (talk) 15:23, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop editing Portuguese entries[edit]

You clearly do not know what you're doing so please stop making incorrect changes to Portuguese and Spanish entries like consumidor, comprador, cliente, desesperar, etc. etc. Among other things:

  1. Do not change {{af}} to {{prefix}}, {{suffix}}, etc.
  2. Do not add a * before {{es-IPA}} or {{pt-IPA}}.
  3. Don't add or change any Portuguese pronunciations as your changes are mostly wrong.

Thank you. Benwing2 (talk) 03:06, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are still changing {{af}} to {{prefix}}, {{suffix}}, etc. Please stop right away. Thanks. Benwing2 (talk) 05:46, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Otterfolwer you keep making the same mistake and adding wrong hyphenations Stríðsdrengur (talk) 16:25, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Stríðsdrengur Can you give me some examples? Benwing2 (talk) 04:25, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
pigarrear I already corrected most of it Stríðsdrengur (talk) 11:20, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Stríðsdrengur OK, since this user is continuing to do things they've been warned not to do, I've blocked them for 2 days. If they continue after the block expires, I will probably lengthen the next block to a week. Benwing2 (talk) 11:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reference Section is a Third-Level Header[edit]

@User:Otterfolwer the Reference section is only a third-level section (three equal signs), never four! Check the entry layout guide in Wiktionary. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 13:16, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Otterfolwer Hi!, I think this applies to Further reading as well. Please stop changing those. Thanks. Ysrael214 (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've rollbacked you on a couple of edits there. Here are the reasons:

  1. {{head-lite}} is there for a reason, removing it is counterproductive, and replacing it by a mere {{head}} can even be harmful for the page.
  2. Style is defined by the language community, not centrally, so the usage of {{inh+}}, {{lb|anatomy}} etc. should not be enforced on languages you don't edit.

Hope this is clear enough :) Thadh (talk) 17:06, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage[edit]

Could you please create a userpage so other user can know more about you? Rodrigo5260 (talk) 17:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Labels[edit]

@Otterfolwer Please stop changing tlb to lb when the label applies to all sense even if just one definition. You're messing the categorizations. (ex. if tlb: archaic terms, if lb: archaic senses). Thank you. Ysrael214 (talk) 14:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
