It seems that you have added institute, destitute, etc. to Rhymes:English/uːt and parsimony, testimony, etc. to Rhymes:English/əʊni, and added {{rhyme}}
linking to the respective Rhymes pages on each word entry. But all these words have stress on the first syllable, so the rhyme of parsimony is /-ɑː(ɹ)sɪmə(ʊ)ni/, and that of institute is, well, /-ɪnstɪt(j)uːt/. In some, particularly American, schools, it is arguable that a syllable that comes after the primary (tonic) stress in these words bears a secondary stress, but that's not the kind of stress that we talk about when we talk about rhymes. I've never heard of such a definition of a rhyme that "institute rhymes with root". I think you should undo the additions. Nardog (talk) 22:23, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi outbrake oneself has a different meaning to outbreak someone else. If A outbrakes B, A appies their brakes later than B, (in order to overtake). But if A outbrakes himself, it means he applied the brakes too late for the bend and could not get around it properly. (go wide). So it deserves some kind of mention.

Hi. I'm working with what comes to my mind at User:Per utramque cavernam/French, but I'd like to be more systematic.
I've noticed someone has done a surprisingly good job with French idioms at el.wiktionary, and I'd like to see if we're missing a lot here. So would you know how to extract the contents of el:Κατηγορία:Γαλλική γλώσσα (= CAT:French lemmas), and make a list of multiword entries (i.e. with a space in the title) from that? Preferably the list would contain only red links.
(Could be useful to do the same out of fr:Catégorie:français, but there will be a lot more, and probably a lot of less urgently needed things.)
Please let me know! Thanks. Per utramque cavernam 10:42, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi. I've just created a hundred or so redirects from the curly apostrophe to the straight one, but I've only taken care of entries I've created myself; there's bound to be more in need of it.
So do you think you could make a list of all entries having a straight apostrophe in their title? I could then make a subst to the curly and see how many red links there are. Per utramque cavernam 19:07, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Is there a way to make a list of all the French red links in our translation tables? That would help me to find missing words, and also to spot translations that have been incorrectly entered (translations with parentheses, for example).

From your interesting word list: undinting seems attestable insofar as a bunch of people have used it, but it generally seems to be an error for undinted (and in fact even that word seems a bit odd to me: I feel as though there is some other word these people are reaching for, but I can't work out what it is). So it seems to mean "not checked or stopped, boundless" rather than (as "undinting" would suggest) "not checking or stopping some other thing". Do you think we should use the misconstruction template? Equinox ◑ 04:08, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Hey D. Could you regen the pages at User:DTLHS/eswikisource?

Hello. I saw you were creating a lot of templates and categories and I thought you could maybe help me with something. This category was created recently which is a good start, but I have long wanted to have something similar to Category:Hindi_phrasal_verbs, where the light verb constructions are sorted by the verbal element. I have no idea how to do this though, except for creating a new category for each light verb manually and placing links under every light verb construction, which doesn't seem like a good solution. Can you look at this, if it's not too much of an effort? There is an (incomplete) list of verbs that are used in such constructions here. Allahverdi Verdizade (talk) 22:35, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
I added two images to "abandon" fro wikimedia commons and they were removed. Why? Hjh1313 (talk) 20:59, 10 November 2018 (UTC)hjh1313
Adding images adds clarity to a definition. Meaning is in the environment and context in which a word is used. Images specify the environment and context much better than simply words. Is this simply your opinion or do you make final judgements for Wiktionary? Today's technology allows for serious dictioanries to be more than words.

Hello! Following a discussion at "Wiktionary:Requests for deletion/Others#Template:seeSynonyms", that template has been deleted. Could you please do a bot run to replace uses of this template? I haven't examined many examples of how the template has been used, but the basic one would be:
{{seeSynonyms|hate|sense=1}} → ''See'' ]
I'm not sure how sophisticated the replacements can be. For example, if {{seeSynonyms}}
appears after a list of other synonyms, it would be preferable to use see also instead of See, like this:
ABC, DEF, GHI; {{seeSynonyms|JKL}} → ABC, DEF, GHI; ''see also'' ]
But if that proves too complicated, I think the basic replacement would be sufficient for now. Thanks in advance. — SGconlaw (talk) 16:38, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi D. We've been pretty busy over at es.wikipedia correcting lots of spelling mistakes. And I've been busy creating lots of awesome missing Spanish entries, so it'd be nice to rerun the User:DTLHS/eswikipedia pages some time soon - really, no rush at all.

Hi D. When using this page to make this page, I get the error message "Lua error in Module:quote at line 170: Only one of date= or year= should be specified". As is well-documented, I don't do templates, categories, or modules anymore as they got overcomplicated. I reckon this error message comes up because of Template:quote-journal, perhaps that template assumes that an entry must have a year. Or, alternatively, you could stop including "|year=" when making new Tracking pages like this one. Either way, I'm gonna crack on making entries and will leave any pages with module errors for now. --Gibraltar Rocks (talk) 19:12, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
You suggested that my entry for my Albanian "αρbε̰ρίσ̈τ" entry to be cleaned up. May I ask why? If you would your research, then you would know that Latin, Greek (back then, also Elbasan and Arabic) script are used to write in Albanian. As 'Arvanitika' (which is the greek term for "Arbërisht" = hence "Old Albanian") was and is still written with greek letters by Arbëreshë ppl that live in Greece. Albanians and Arbëreshë (living in Italy) use the latin script. Doesn't change the fact that Albanian is also written with greek letters. IMIPER (talk) 21:19, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

didn't see it as an alternative spelling of ばらす and did not copy any definition or category. When I wrote that template, I assumed that spoken variants would be put in the alternative forms section, while written variants would be put in {{ja-spellings}}

Hey, since your bot User:NadandoBot already so meritoriously updates anagrams for Finnish (thanks for that!), would it be possible to get anagrams for Swedish as well? Swedish has the same alphabet as Finnish, albeit with different letter frequencies (for example, "c" is used often in Swedish before "k", while in Finnish "c" is not used almost at all) so I'd guess adding Swedish to the supported languages wouldn't be too hard? 37.117.212.142 09:13, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

DTLHS—there is no such thing as found art—aside from art which has been found. If you are walking down the street and you find a work of art—that is found art. But that is not what our term refers to. Our term "found object" is defined by such sources as the Tate. The Tate refers to it as an "art term". The Tate defines it as follows: "A found object is a natural or man-made object, or fragment of an object, that is found (or sometimes bought) by an artist and kept because of some intrinsic interest the artist sees in it". Notice the absence of any reference to "found art". Can we find the phrase "found art" in Google Books searches? Of course. But no good quality source, such as the Tate, is going to construe a "found object" as "found art". It is an understandable error but there is no reason we should perpetuate that error.

(There might've been another request, too, but I'm not sure.) Unfortunately, you don't archive your talk page — would you mind digging it up for me? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 20:47, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey. Can you make User:DTLHS/enwikisource like you did for User:DTLHS/eswikipedia? I remember you already making the list, but it was deleted for some reason, probably because it was crap. Anyway, can you generate it again? --Quotedude56 (talk) 15:39, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I wonder why you objected to including the Ukrainian sense of Gontar along with the Galician in wiktionary, back in April, if this was you. It seems very common in wiktionary to include multiple instances of a given phoneme around the world. Although it is pronounced "Hontar" in Ukraine, the name is pronounced Gontar in Russia and Poland, and English speakers also refer to Ukrainian Hontars as "Gontar." The majority of people surnamed Gontar also live in Ukraine (around 3500). There is ample scholarly documnentation for the view that Ukrainian Hontar/Gontar derives from hont, "shingle." There is no documentation for the following, but I theorize that it also may further derive from Proto-Indo-European ko*, "to whet, sharpen," from which we get English hone."Cdg1072 (talk) 15:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, you labelled bijouterie as "obsolete", but it is not obsolete, at least not in the UK, where it is in current use e.g. in the antiques trade and auction business. I am not sure about the status of the spelling bijoutry in the UK, but it strikes me as altogether a rarer spelling (and Ngrams agrees, though some of the hits may be in different senses or specifically French contexts), so I am not really in favour of "bijouterie" being defined as "Alternative form of bijoutry". I would see it the other way around, if anything. Mihia (talk) 12:01, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi DTLHS. Happy New Year. Would you like all the quotes in your list to be used in the new entries? For the last one I did, I just chose one when I created the entry. — Dentonius 08:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I am an editor from Chinese Wiktionary, and I just saw that your robot has created a lot of entries related to Catalan and Spanish inflected forms.

Hi DTLHS. I was looking at some of the words you were tracking. How should I deal with a word like "amop" on this page. It's basically a pun and a non-existent word which the author invented. Of course, he meant "amok." Does our dictionary allow for the creation of such entries? — Dentonius 17:44, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi D. The Spanish Wikipedians and I have been very busy over the last year correcting minor errors. Your list at User:DTLHS/eswikipedia has been immensely helpful for finding common mistakes, and tens of thousands tyops have been corrected. On behalf of the Spanish Wikipedia community, I beseech thee to make an updated version of User:DTLHS/eswikipedia, so we can see if any have slipped through the net, so to speak.

Hi DTLHS, I understand Wiktionary does not include proper names, but Gontar in Russian derives from Ukrainian hontar, shingler. Would you consider including the Russian and Ukrainian instances of gontar as the word from which the surname derives in Ukrainian?
Hi, has NadandoBot suffered a catastrophic failure of some sort? Just wondering, since I've noticed that she's stopped adding anagrams to page entries. Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 19:11, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for running your Anagrams script for Italian. I think you need to update your bot script for Anagrams to take into account categories that are inserted using {{C}}
, {{topics}}
, {{cln}}
, and similar; see scorso, where your bot moved the Anagrams section below a {{C}}
link that specifies a category. For reference, here's a function I have that separates off final separators as well as category specs of all sorts, so that anything added to the bottom goes above them:
def split_trailing_separator_and_categories(sectext): # Extract off trailing separator mm = re.match(r"^(.*?\n)(\n*--+\n*)$", sectext, re.S) if mm: secbody, sectail = mm.group(1), mm.group(2) else: secbody = sectext sectail = "" # Split off categories at end mm = re.match(r"^(.*?\n)(\n*((?:\\n]+\]\]|\{\{(?:c|C|cat|cln|topic|topics|categorize|catlangname|catlangcode)\|*\}\})\n*)*)$", secbody, re.S) if mm: secbody, secbodytail = mm.group(1), mm.group(2) sectail = secbodytail + sectail return secbody, sectail

Hi,
Special:Contributions/206.72.212.80 makes wrong entries in Belarusian - missing headers and everything that's important. I fixed many but I don't feel like cleaning after them. Also, Близнюк is not right spelling in Belarusian, it doesn't have letter ], Блізнюк would be correct. I have asked them to stop. (atitarev) --101.173.100.238 02:13, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you created an RFD for pro pelle cutem at WT:RFDE, but the phrase only has a Latin definition. Unless I misunderstand, any RFD for the phrase should therefore be created at WT:RFDN. I don't know if you want to request its deletion as a Latin phrase, so I will leave it to you to move the RFD discussion to WT:RFDN or remove it. - excarnateSojourner (talk|contrib) 23:39, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed that you seem to be going through a bunch of entries and changing L4 headers on part-of-speech sections to L3 ones. However, this makes it so that the part-of-speech sections are no longer subsections of their parent etymology sections (which use L3 headers), so I went along and put them back to L4 headers to fix this, as specified by WT:Entry layout#Etymology. Then you came along and reverted my fixes (to userboxen, blucket, Martian packet, and ypogegrammeni) without giving any explanation, which (in addition to re-breaking the section-header layouts) is, honestly, quite rude; when you're reverting someone else's edits, it's your responsibility to justify the reversion (except when reverting obvious vandalism). Additionally, you unilaterally changed the nym/coordinate-term layout for i386 from the original format (with the synonyms, hypernyms, and coordinates grouped together in a set of lists below the list of definitions) to a different format (with the 'nyms scattered throughout the list of definitions themselves), when both formats are equally permissible (per WT:Entry layout); since what you were trying to "fix" wasn't broken in the first place, I took the liberty of reverting your edit, only for you to, again, revert me without bothering to give any justification for doing so. Finally, your edit to Millhouses inserted a duplicate proper-noun section header; I removed the redundant header and consolidated the two definitions under one header, and you reverted my fixes, again with just the condescending "leave a message on my talk page if you want me to tell you why I reverted you" (paraphrased) edit summary. Could you please at least try not to revert people who are fixing things, and, when you revert someone, would it kill you to actually explain in your edit summary the reason for the revert, instead of forcing people to write you on your talk page to learn why you reverted them?

Hi! I've seen that you've been making some edits to the Yoruba entries, thank you for your help! However, I've noticed that when you make your edits, you often remove the tonal marks on the words, which can be sometimes confusing as Yoruba is a tonal language. Could you put edit summaries for when you make these edits/explain why the edit has been made? Thank you so much! Oniwe (talk) 02:56, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hi. I saw you deleted the hurry-furry merger. I noticed its deletion because it ended up being a topic in a conversation I was having; I thought it'd be a good idea to use Wiktionary to get a quick definition. Point is, the page's gone, and the reason for deletion said it's a neologism or a protologism. How can that be? The term has a Wiktionary page, is used by linguists, and cot-caught merger, a very similar term, does have a Wiktionary page. How come it doesn't meet WT:CFI?

Dear interface administrator,
This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.
There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.
As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the policy talk page.
Have a great day!Samuel (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Security team 23:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Why is this bot spamming anagrams all over the Wiktionary and Wikipedia? It's not useful or good. For example see the pages for the old word elder. (Which has a very complex and diverse usage spanning many language groups, cultures and religions; and is at risk of slow motion edit wars.) That page presently has a negative value anagram section injected by this bot uselessly stating an anagram of the actual noun e-l-d-e-r with the non-noun alleged name word e-d-l-e-r ; and separately the bulk of the notional dictionary content regarding this "word" is comprised of the non peer reviewed assertions that black people use the name Yedler and white people use the name Edler. What does this modern and frankly trivial, irrelevant and sadly race-centering intellectual claptrap have to do with the definition or etymology of the actual word elder? The answer is surely: nothing. But is being spammed onto this page, and many more, by the bot under your control. Why? Who cares what the family name anagram spellings are, of words that are not family names but rather exist in a dozen or more languages for millennia? This is not a scrabble website.
