Hi John,
Why'd you dewikify the meaning of the acronym? I thought that was what we were supposed to do, so that complete information about the term can be given on the "real" page, no? --Connel MacKenzie 03:00, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
reply by Stranger:
Re: Voltage Standing Wave Radio
I don't recall exactly what I dewikified for this particular example - I have done quite a few, but I will list three reasons I dewikify when I come across them. (1) Sometimes each, individual word is wikified. I tend to dewikify in this case because, using VSWR as an example, the definition of the word "standing" (i.e. rising up from a seated position) does nothing to clarify the meaning of the acronym. I would not de-wikify a word like "deoxyridonucleic" because the word is not common. Additionally, for "deoxy..." the definition which is likely to be #1 or #2 in the definition list is likely to be the meaning referred to by the initialism - unlike, say, "wave" ("a shake of the hand") in VSWR - which, again, doesn't aid in clarification.
(2) Sometimes the entire phrase is wikified which, in this particular example, would mean that "Voltage Standing Wave Radio" was wikified. This generally results, however, in a red-coloured link, i.e. one that doesn't go anywhere, because there is no corresponding dictionary entry for the entire phrase "Voltage Standing Wave Radio".
(3) Any link, like those in foreign translations for example, that is red-coloured I eliminate.
John,
Just a quick reminder: do not replace content with a redirect. Especially, when the article you are replacing contains interwiki links!

Hi,
Can you not capitalise the names of the chemicals for which you are giving the initialisms? The initialisms are in capitals but the names of the chemicals are not. So "DNP" stands for "diisononyl phthalate", not "DiIsoNonyl Phthalate". Thanks. — Paul G 14:53, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
Connel-
Just some miscellaneous questions. First, you seem terribly busy and have your fingers in many different pies. If I should talk to someone else in order to lighten your load, please let me know. I don't wish to be a burden, but I sincerely value the fact that you have taken me under your wing. I don't see it said very often: Thank you.
The other day, I put found a nonsense word with an "I wuz here" definition; I put a rfd flag on it; did you see it? I was just wondering if I did it correctly. I didn't read the five or so pages of How to Nominate A Word for Deletion, etc.
Similarly, I was wandering around and thought I saw a copyright violation. I wasn't sure what to do, but posed a query to that effect on the word's discussion page. All the words I see, the discussion page tab is always coloured red. Is this something I'm not supposed to do. Who sees it when I do it?
I also happened to notice that one of my contributions, "App", had been flagged for deletion. But I don't see that listed on the Request for Deletions page. Furthermore I didn't get a "you have new mail" notice about this so I had no knowledge it was done and would never have known about it had I not stumbled across it. Is there any way to subscribe to the Request for Deletions page or the Beer Parlour so that I am informed whenever a new message is posted? I don't want to miss a chance to pontificate! :-)
And these user pages have a significant disadvantage to e-mail. When I read your user page, for example, I only get half the conversation. It's like listening to one end of a telephone conversation. With e-mail, you can follow the discussion thread more easily. Anything that can be done to modify this? Is there a "copy user talk contribution to page _________" or something that I'm missing?
Thanks,
--Stranger, SSL69 18:12, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
Stranger,
Only a Bureaucrat can merge usernames. At least, I think they can do it, but I don't recall ever seeing it being done. Perhaps it really is a developer-only thing? So yes, changing usernames today essentially means abandoning your old account.
I'm dissapointed to hear that you (or anyone) is afraid to "step into" the Beer Parlor. To me, the name connotates rowdiness, general mayhem and an occasional brawl. OTOH, being too bold helps some earn a bad reputation; but the BP is exactly the place one should ask. OTOOH, the mantra "be bold" pertains to entering new, undefined words first and foremost.
Transwiki actually relates to Wiktionary's raison d'être. Wiktionary was split off from Wikipedia when someone realized that real encyclopedias do not include dictionary words. So, they took all the cruft that they did not *want* in Wikipedia and made a new project called Wiktionary. These days, when someone arrives at Wikipedia (from google) and the light-bulb goes on and they realize they can enter stuff...and enter a dictionary definition, Wikipedians tag it for "Move to Wiktionary" because Wikipedia is not a dictionary (but Wiktionary is.) The article then gets moved to a Wikipedia holding area where it is voted on; then one of several bots makes the Wikipedia entry go from there to here, into the transwiki namespace. (Namespace in this meaning, means that the article name gets "Transwiki:" prepended to it.)
The edit summary box appears when you edit existing entries. It is labelled "Summary:" and appears below the edit box. (Note that if you use the to add a new section, it is not considered an edit, but an add.)
Thanks again. --Connel MacKenzie 16:41, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Noun or noun phrase? Actually, yesterday afternoon I was browsing "The Oxford Dictionary of New Words" in my local library. They show entries such as pink pound as noun, and only longer phrases as "noun phrase". I shall investigate further sometime. SemperBlotto 07:07, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
Yes, apparently I am it for sysops at the moment, though a few of our European sysops should start waking shortly. I really did have other plans for part of my evening.
Anyway, I zapped SORE. You're quite right that it was rubbish. I rfd'd dinglehopper rather than delete it directly because I want to let the community decide on that one. I have seen the movie, and I recall the scene, but without a bit of usage outside the movie, it's just a nonsense word. Track down a citation or two, and I'll gladly let it stand. Otherwise, please don't take it personally.
Yes, Polyglot knows Dutch. Gerard does, too.
Oh, and you can usually find a sysop or four on IRC, should you need one of us. We would also enjoy your company even if you don't have an emergency to report--indeed, especially if you don't have an emergency to report. It's a small community, but a remarkably bright and diverse one. Come say hi someday. --Dvortygirl 05:38, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Since it appears you have nothing better to do than protecting against-voting-strangers from The David :-) , where do you find wiki code such as that you use on your user page? And thanks for the smiley - but am I right in thinking that its use is frowned upon? Cheers, --Stranger (SSL69 16:34, 24 August 2005 (UTC))
>>>
Hah, what an interesting reason for asking me that. For the record, I had no intention of protecting him, I just thought it was high time for some more humour, even if it sucked a bit :). And the use of the smiley isn't excessively frowned upon; take Connel, for example, who was the one to start using it and uses it once in every three comments, near enough :). As for my user page, the layout is based on your good ol' WikiTables, and the colour and border are created through a <div> tag with CSS styles, so it's not really wikicode at all. That help? --Wytukaze 19:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Geen probleem, mon ami. --Wytukaze 21:51, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
I think that this is your name, yeah. I am horrible with names and faces in The Real World, so I thought I would attach something to help me remember people here.
And, for the record, "The David Protector" means that you are the one protecting me from a cult-brainwashed David - not protecting The David. :-)
Do you mind terribly? Cheers, --Stranger 13:48, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Don't give me that. You enjoy it! :-) --Stranger 15:01, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Wytukase's dispute was on July 6, and we have seen nothing of the other disputant since, so it would be pointless to go into details about that.
I suppose that you're really alluding to my moving the page hundred and one to one hundred and one. The form that I preferred is more formal, and I would argue that the other forms are variations of it. Adding usage notes to distinguish these would be perfectly appropriate. It is conceivable that further elaboration of these variations may be suitable for the talk page. It would be excessive to give detailed usage notes for every number; the issues for 102 are the same as those for 101. What the best place is for an explanation of these variations remains an open question.
As for 666, the issues that distinguish it from the others are probably more encyclopedic than lexicographical. Eclecticology 17:20:38, 2005-09-01 (UTC)
mirc or xchat port
seem to be the preferred windows IRC client programs. Most times of the day, there is an admin lurking there. --Connel MacKenzie 23:38, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Please slow down a second, on your archiving activities. Being bold is a good thing, but...
WT:BP always used to retain three months worth of conversations.
WT:VIP does not get archived (until the Bureaucrats start renaming those dead/blocked usernames into one.)
Wiktionary: Glossary is supposed to have words that pertain to Wiktionary, whether they are duplicated as regular entries in the main namespace or not.
Wiktionary: namespaced articles should not be deleted.
--Connel MacKenzie 03:31, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Not everything in BP is a policy issue. The apostrophe issue was a matter of someone having a peculiar idea, and the whole community feeling that this idea would not work. It is unlikely that anyone will try to promote that one again. All that a policy can do is keep the idea visible when it is best forgotten. It is better placed in the archives.
The issue of the telephone calls is at the other end of the scale. An anonymous contributor phoned an administrator in the middle of the night to complain. This is very poor netiquette. That individual seems to have very poor social skills, and we are not likely to leave any impression on his type. If he goes so far as to read policy he probably doesn't need it. I think that Kevin was casually commenting on a current incident; the report probably doesn't even need to be kept in the archives. Eclecticology 23:34:27, 2005-09-05 (UTC)
I originally wrote it as a noun, but as an afterthought I checked hyperdictionary.com which listed it as a adjective. I didn't think such obvious mistake would be in that dictionary so I just corrected it without thinking. Obviously, it's incorrect (and might I admit I'm a bit "embarrassed" over it too!) Thanks for the heads-up. --Shoehorn 22:49, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi, yes, Cyrillic and Latin are always capitalized. That entry, along with some other old entries, needs some fixing and I'm going to get to it as soon as I can. I'll fix the Cyrillic and Latin thing right now. Thank for pointing that out! :) --Dijan 05:52, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
I don't know if many IRC-ers use Trillian, or not. Many of us do use Skype, however. I don't recall seeing you in IRC. Please try again sometime. It's not always very busy, so sometimes it's just a matter of wandering in at the right time. --Dvortygirl 07:26, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
I just put half-a-dozen entries into WT:GL before I saw your note asking not to. It's not the end of the world if my changes vanish at some point. Allan 20:01, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi --Stranger,
I didn't interpret the discussion as concluded, just stranded on some sort of status quo. It's item number 12 in the BP. I added a comment to ask for some kind of vote on the matter today. I hope people will see it, as it kind of drowns in the other beer parlour topics. As for the AP vandal moving to other things. He'll do that anyway at a certain point. Maybe he'll even move to doing something more useful. Who knows? One can always hope. Or maybe he'll move out of here if he starts realizing that what he does, makes us react in a way that his pranks have a useful effect on our project, since we tighten up security. Who knows how the psychology of vandals works? He finds holes in our security and we stop gap them. That way he kinds of contributes and maybe he can't stand the idea of having done something positive. The problem we have now is that vigilance is constantly necessary in order to protect the public from having to see an obnoxious image, when visiting something that should be safe to view, like a dictionary. Just imagine you want to look up a word in the presence of your child and such an image appears? It's disgusting when we see it, but one kind of gets used to it, but a child who sees something like that for the first time will have a very bad experience, which is what we want to avoid.
If he decides that he wants to start changing the text by adding nonsense or near nonsense, we can defend ourselves far better against that. Although it is true that it may take more time on our part. It's something we have to do anyway, since even good meaning contributors will sometimes add content that is incorrect or not appropriate.
Anyway, I think I was the first person who was confronted with this kind of images around Christmas 2004 and I still remember I was genuinely disgusted. So he didn't miss the effect he was after. He has been keeping this up for over 9 months now. It's time to start doing something about it. One would think he would go away when he gets bored, but apparently he is one who is not easily bored.

The issue is no big deal. When this sort of thing comes up, it's better do deal with it head on before any serious misunderstanding has a chance to develop. Eclecticology 05:51:31, 2005-09-10 (UTC)
You previously raised the issue of saving the discussions for deleted articles. There is the page Wiktionary:Deletion archive, which has been linked from the first paragraph in the "notes" section of the RfD page. I admit that I have failed to use that to tha extent that I would have wished. Perhaps you may wish to use that as a stepping stone for saving those discussions that you feel are worth saving.
Fundamentally, there are two ways in which this might be done. That page could house all the discussions, but I'm afraid that it could rapidly become too big. The other way would be to use the article talk pages. The archive page could then become a sort of index to those talk pages which, in the absence of their corresponding article could be more difficult to find.
I usually wait at least a week after deletion before removing material from the RfD page. You can decide how much of a discussion is worth keeping, and how much is completely off topic or repetitious. I can avoid deleting existing talk pages when they include deletion discussion materials.
I hope that there is enough in this for a working agreement. Eclecticology 05:12:02, 2005-09-11 (UTC)
Gee thanks for mentioning marriage :-P Archiving that page will be based on different issue. Nobody is suggesting that the marriage page should be deleted, even if that would be one way of stopping the current argument there.
I think we agree that continuing the Deletion archive page is not practical because it would get too long too fast.
I can't say that I would agree to save all the talk pages, just most of them. Many include material that may not be relevant to keeping the article. I do confess, however, that in the course of deleting articles I often forget to check to see if there is a talk page or if I am causing dead redirects.
You could put Category:Deletion archive (or something like it) on the talk pages for deleted pages that have deletion discussions on them. I don't see any way to move discussions from the rfd page to the individual talk pages.
I don't think we can get rid of the rfd page. The chronological approach is what I find most valuable about it. With it I impose a discipline on myself to get things done, even if it's the wrong thing. I seldom look at what's in the rfd category. Something that's there, but not on the rfd page often has no initial reason for deletion expressed. Monitoring deletion discussions would be more difficult if it involved having each on a separate page. Eclecticology 21:10:34, 2005-09-11 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments on the welcome template. Your comments, I think, are especially valuable in the sense that you recently encountered that text as a newcomer.
I think the welcome template itself is relatively new. Granted, we don't manage to welcome all newcomers yet, but I agree completely that we should try. Polyglot's welcome, along with his translations of many of my articles, encouraged me to perservere through my first tentative days of editing.
I will incorporate your suggestions into the template. It's a wiki, after all, and people are invited to edit these things. If you'd like to help welcome newcomers, please do. You can either use the template text or create your own message. I don't mind if you volunteer me for questions beyond your knowledge. I know SemperBlotto often welcomes people, too. Perhaps he would volunteer for the odd-numbered days, or simpler yet, we could simply name several active administrators and not worry about the date. --Dvortygirl 05:35, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi --Stranger,
The bot I'm creating is very much a work in progress. Right now it doesn't do a lot yet. When it will become ready it will be able to change the macros to fully written language names. Or the other way around if we ever decide to do that. I still have a lot of beta testing and coding to do though. OTOH, I wouldn't bother changing those templates manually. Just let them be, they don't bite and they don't cause any trouble. Anyway, that's what I do. There are more interesting things to do, than changing things that will have the same outcome/result. The bot will parse an entry, decompose it as far as it can and then recompose everything according to the standards in vogue on a particular Wiktionary. Polyglot 06:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi Stranger,
We are all working for the same cause here. A sysop is nothing more or nothing less than a regular user, just because he/she has a few more possibilities on the wiki. I think a newbie who gets a welcome message from you is a very lucky one. Don't worry about them finding content on your user page. If they're interested they'll look at it, if they aren't they won't. No harm is done. The new user interface shows when users are created. Please don't put a welcome message on those users' talk pages yet. We can wait until they make their first edit. I have never felt constrained by time, so I don't really feel like monitoring when somebody makes their first edit to be able to immediately welcome them. I welcome a user when I feel like it and I don't when I don't feel like it. Just like I only write comments to users when I feel it is necessary. Sometimes to encourage them, sometimes to tell them we do things differently than what they just produced, etc. I do this to save time. The quicker they adapt to the standards we developed, the less time we need to spend to clean up after them. I'm a very practical kind of guy. Anyway, if you feel like welcoming somebody, just go ahead. You are extremely active and are just as entitled to do it as anybody else, maybe even more so. Polyglot 06:11, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Your doing a good job - but could you use the normal request method, rather than creating a talk page that then has to be deleted itself. Cheers. SemperBlotto 07:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
The Romanica material was added more than a year ago by a person who is an active supporter of this constructed language. There is clearly no support for maintaining it, but the fact that there were over 700 articles for it makes it a long job to remove it all. There is some mention of constructed languages on Criteria for Inclusion, and a further discussion on RFD at Novial. I don't see the question phrased in terms of what harm it does but what good it does; when you don't take out the trash it just piles up and people start to think it's important.
Maintaining rfd is not usually that big a deal; it just requires keeping up. I did get distracted over my debate with dmh who seems to want to argue in favor of keeping damn near everything without any evidence. I expect that I'll have it back in order in the next couple days.
Your last paragraph is really two issues. There has never been any agreement to dump the RfC page. I still think that it's an excelllent place for people to find things to do if they only take the time to go there. The biggest problem with limiting these matters to the individual talk pages is they are even less likely to be noticed. What I would really like to find is a way that would inspire people to do the actual cleanups. Simply putting an rfc template on a page accomplishes even less because what needs cleaning up is often not stated.
The issue that you seem to have mixed with it is what to do with the discussion on the RfD page. This is especially a problem with pages that are eventually deleted. I did move one such discussion to the talk page for a deleted, but did not feel all that satisfied with the process. I don't know if the matter is still being talked about; these kinds of discussions have a record of fading away with no decisions ever really being made. To whatever extent you feel that these discussions are worth saving just copy them to wherever you feel they should be kept; I'm sure you're likely to save more of them than I would. I try to make a point of waiting at least a week after the last comment before removing anything (including the obvious ones). Can I assume that within that week you will use your judgement to save whatever needs saving? Having you deal with that would be a much bigger help than removing the no-brainers.

Hi --Stranger,
I've posted an answer to your question about categories in the Beer Parlour. I hope you find it useful. — Paul G 09:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi Stranger,
Don't worry for not understanding the mechanics of those javascripts. The purpose is to have obviously wrong formatting on pages cleaned up or fixed automatically. If you would like, I can set up your account so it also happens for you. If it freaks you out, you simply holler and we set it back to how it is now. If the script makes changes, you can see what it did below the edit box. If you feel like doing a lot of work, without necessarily needing to actually having to type it all yourself, this is very gratifying. Of course you still have to check what the script did and submit it by pressing the save page button. Let me know if you want this. It's fairly simple to do, but you need to give me permission since it changes how your browser reacts when you edit a page. Polyglot 11:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi,
I saw your posting about this on SemperBlotto's talk page. The policy on spelling variations is as he says: whichever one gets in first gets the full treatment with the other(s) mentioned as alternative spellings, and the other(s) is/are redirected to that page.
You mention spelling variants of "World Trade Center", but that phrase is spelled like that in all varieties of English because it is a proper noun, in the same way that we Brits also write "Pearl Harbor" (the place in Hawaii) and not "Pearl Harbour" (although there is a place with this spelling in New Zealand, which Americans spell with a "u" as well). Those are the only spellings of those nouns. (Of course, if these were to feature in Wiktionary, we would probably want redirects from the misspellings in case people search on them and so that people don't create the pages with the wrong titles. This is what Wikipedia does - if you search for "World Trade Centre", you are redirected to a page with the US spelling.) — Paul G 13:53, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the arduous task of clearing this out. But I'm not sure I like what has happened here. It is not clear where items that still have not been cleaned up were archived to? Am I missing something? Did each of these get addressed before getting removed? --Connel MacKenzie 20:06, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
I am not sure whether this will alay your fears at all, but the camp I was at was in central Vermont, little in the way of surf there...although we did have a pond. While your dystopian visions of my return aren't all that far off, my cruelty is only surmounted by my imagination to be sure, the one you should really fear is Dvortygirl, and then only if the words "ass puss" are in your vocaublary. Welcome to Wikt. Peace out brah, ;) theDaveRoss 16:51, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Just a note about me in case anyone is interested. More doctors appointments beginning this morning - some more urgent than others. I don't think I'm at death's door, but Real Life is interfering in my Wiktionary efforts. Hopefully I can come back from time to time to tweak a few things. I really enjoy it. But I have become less and less communicative, as I'm sure you've noticed. One word explanation: drugs. They don't leave me with a very clear head. Some tweaking is pretty mindless and I'm happy I can help out that way even when I'm not at 100%, but talking requires more clarity and concentration than I'm able to give. Starting to loose my train of thought already - thus, it's time to go. Cheers, --Stranger 12:36, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
You wanna go for admin?. You'll get it almost surely. Heck, if I could, so could you. --Wonderfool 09:06, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing it out. I've deleted it, along with a lot of links to it. Eclecticology 21:58, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi stranger. I see you've been moving some "related terms" sections and changing their level: ]
This is not right. Most people using a dictionary are only interested in one language (I'm an exception) and for that reason we put all the monolingual sections before the bilingual section "translation" since fewer people are looking for translations. The reason "related" (and "derived") belong higher is because they contain derived words and compounds which most tradition dictionaries include under the primary headword, or at least nearby alphabetically. Since we don't do either we place the links to them in a prominent position. So where a normal dictionary would have "redness" and "redden" in their entry for "red" we have separate articles for each but make links to them easily available. More people want these traditional dictionary features than want features only found in the more specialized translating dictionaries.
Also the heading level should reflect what we know. If we know a derived or related term is related to the noun in an article which also has a verb, then the section should be level-4 and go under noun to reflect this. When we don't know which they related to we can use the more vague level-3 and then put the section below all parts of speech. Some articles have two or even three related terms sections for this reason.
If our formatting guide says otherwise we better start discussing this on the beer parlour. I've been using the derived and related headings consistently this way for at least a year and a half - and probably longer. — Hippietrail 15:16, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi Stranger,
I also don't find time to contribute a lot lately. All I ever manage to do is to review the anonymous contributions every once in a while. It's amazing to see how much cruft gets added by anons, which is not noticed by the regulars. Anyway, don't worry about contributing a bit less for a while. Life is a flow. Sometimes the tide is high, other times it's low. I contribute when it makes me feel better and I don't when I already have enough around my head.
Cheers,
Jo
Hi --Stranger,
It's beyond Wiktionary's remit to give anagrams, so I am removing these from the entries where you have added them. You might ask why this is — I would say that it's because people don't use a dictionary to find anagrams of words, whereas they do to find synonyms, translations, etc, which we do provide. There are other websites around that do give anagrams.
— Paul G 09:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
--Stranger,
It would have been nice of Wonderfool to ask you first, or at least notify you, but please take a look at Wiktionary:Administrators. You will notice, if you scroll down a bit, that you have been nominated. I planned on giving you a bit more time to settle in, but I have watched you for some time now with thoughts of nominating you myself. At any rate, you certainly have my support.
If you would like a couple extra buttons at the top of your screen, please accept your nomination on the Administrators page. Either way, thank you for your solid, thoughtful contributions, congratulations, and good luck. --Dvortygirl 16:48, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
