Hi, @Hk5183. Just to let you know, we are currently using the straight ' for this, not the right curly ’. However, I have been thinking for a long time that we really should be using the proper ʼ (modifier letter apostrophe), because that is an actual letter, while the straight apostrophe is just punctuation. Do you have any feelings on this matter? We already use the ʼ (modifier letter apostrophe) for Navajo, and in my opinion we should be using it also for Ojibwe, Yup'ik, and other Native American languages that have this letter. —Stephen (Talk) 15:01, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Hk5183. Thanks for creating some Munsee entries. I want to address the issue of stress though. I think the stress of a word should be left to the header. A big reason for this is so people can create links to entries without knowing the proper stress, which can be confusing to predict. We also have the technical ability to have stressed links, like thúpuy, invisibly redirect to thupuy. --{{victar|talk}} 17:40, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Generally, only English entries should have translation sections. In the case of all these Amharic translations you've added to Ge'ez-script letters, those aren't even really translations, because they're names for the letters.

Hello,
If you create entries in a language you don't know, e.g. this revision, please have a courtesy of asking for {{attention}} or to fix inflections, stresses, etc, with something like this, for Ukrainian nouns

Hi,
I'm wondering if you might weigh in on the conversation i tried to start in the beer parlour about how to categorize Ojibwe verbs. I'm also wondering about how to make the verb categories visible in the entries. I think the best way is to add them in brackets after the headword (see aakozi).
The other issue i'm thinking through is how to do etymologies for verb stems. The tools available in wiktionary (affix, suffix, prefix) seem poorly suited to Ojibwe and don't allow a useful analysis of initial-medial-final word stems. But that conversation can wait, i think.
Anyway, i'm wondering what you might think of all of this.

Hi, I saw you created {{ta-decl-noun}}. I too have been wanting to have automated noun declension tables for Tamil, so I've created Module:User:Kritixilithos implementing the word-combining rules from chapter 2 of https://archive.org/details/progressivegramm00ardeiala/page/page/33, as recommended by Lehmann's "A Grammar of Modern Tamil". Maybe we can combine our efforts in creating declension tables. Kritixilithos (talk) 15:33, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
I would like to create a group to collaborate on Tamil templates. Do you know where would be a good place for that?
Additionally, here are some other great sources that may be useful and/or interesting to you. https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~haroldfs/public/h_sch_9a.pdf, https://user.phil-fak.uni-duesseldorf.de/~zinova/teaching/CompMorphBlockWiSe2016/tamil.pdf, https://www.skytower.org/~ernstjtremel/downloadableTamilFiles/Verbklassen.pdf, https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/141592/12/12_chapter%204.pdf Hk5183 (talk) 18:23, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
{{ta-conj-t-p}} is a work-in-progress table for verb class VII. There are some changes that need to be made to format of the table, accounting for the differences of Tamil from Kannada. It might be worth collaborating with Wiktionary Tamil, for an inflection table would be mutually beneficial.As for Module:User:Kritixilithos, I've so far codified the first three rules (didn't know they were called Sandhi) from the linked book. If you prefer Discord, we could alternatively continue discussion in Wiktionary:Discord_server's #dravidian channel. Thank you for the resources, I'll have a look.

When and how could the template {{gez-noun}} be made? --Apisite (talk) 22:05, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
I frankly don't really know. I'm not good enough at coding. But it certainly should be. Among others, I would like to see a template for Ge'ez noun & adjective declension/inflection, preposition inflection , roots, conjugation of verbs, etc... I've been looking at the comparable Hebrew and Arabic templates and modules for comparison. Pronoun suffixes should be included a template Template:gez-ndecl/ Lua error: bad argument #1 to 'sub' (string expected, got nil). Thank's for the taking the imperative to ask questions!

Hello. You left a note at sqwemá:y saying "This type of dog was raised for its wool". ====Note==== isn't a valid header in Wiktionary, so perhaps that information should go somewhere else. Maybe in the definition line, like

Hi!
I want to thank you for creating numerous entries for Garo in the past. We're up to 600 lemmas already! :D
The news is that the templates that you created, {{Garo-determiners}} and {{Garo-personal pronouns}} were moved to {{grt-determiners}} and {{grt-personal pronouns}} because it is more accesible to use the ISO 639 code, respectively. I am commenting this here so that the people who want to know why it was moved could see here. I hope you are fine with that! BrightSunMan (talk) 20:27, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
Absolutely! Thank you for your work! I think that's a fantastic idea... much more practical. While we're discussing Garo. I was wondering what you think about 2 issues. The first is the issue of dialects. Should we be more systematic about identifying the dialect with each term? The second issue is Bengali script. Should we include the Bengali spelling for each example? If so, should that be left as a red-link or should they have a separate page?
Just some food for thought. Thanks! Hk5183 (talk) 23:05, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Perhaps this will come in handy for you, I've created it in April and it works very well if you need something like this for any inflection-table templates or such. Of course this is only for Western Cree, but if you need an Eastern Cree variant the code is easily modifiable. Cheers! Thadh (talk) 17:15, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello Hk5183,
Where did you find the inflection of words like பல் (pal), கல் (kal), etc. ? I would like to know this because I am interested in creating inflections for Tamil entries too.
Thank you very much, Prahlad balaji (talk) 16:56, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I feel stupid, but I'm not 100% sure. I didn't record that. But I largely relied on a few main sources: this English Grammar: , this German grammar: and a few other sources which I cannot find now. I painstakingly (because I do not speak tamil) looked up every grammatical form to make sure that they all consistently appear in current usage.
I don't know if you speak Tamil, but I found that newspapers like , , , , and were a good source for basic words.
Good luck, Apologies for not citing properly! Hk5183 (talk) 17:32, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

You added {{taxlink|Morona}}. I changed it to {{taxfmt|Morone|genus}} because, according to Fishbase, there is no currently accepted taxonomic name Morona. Could you confirm somehow that the word is used to refer to seabass, some of which were formerly in genus Morone? Or maybe you can find some other type of fish that might be among the referents. DCDuring (talk) 04:04, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
My inclusion of the species is largely based on a single source. Whereas Slovnyk Ukrayins'koi Movy calls окунь 'a fish of the family Окуневі/Percidæ, the source for this was an article in the journal Studia Biologica, Volume 6, #2 Pages 212-213 by Kutsokon & Kvach(link below) list fish in the genera: Perca, Lepomis, Serranus, Dicentrarchus & Morone under the name Окунь with various modifiers. Morone saxatilis 'Striped Bass' is called Окунь Смугастий. Fish in the genus Dicentrarchus are called Морьский окунь. The genus Serranus is called 'Кам'яний окунь'. Lepomis is called сонячний окунь etc... Yet only Perca is called simply Окунь.

Heyo, me again. I'm going to give you an advise I'm starting to be famous for: Please try to add sources to any entry you create if it's a language you don't know. I see you've started editing Cushitic languages, which is great, but since you surely don't speak Iraqw or Oromo, it's maybe better to let the reader know where you got your information from. If you need any help with creating reference templates, please do feel free to approach me on that, and also if you feel like what I'm saying is some woodoo blabbering, that's probably on me, so do tell me, and I'll try explaining it more clearly.

I would like to make these into templates, but I think the templates I produce are not good enough; other users frequently edit them to increase their functionalities, whereas I am unable to understand the code. Hk5183 (talk) 22:45, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
{{cite-book}} (you can check its documentation for a more complete guide), and you'll need to add the parameters specific to your book, so |title=, |author=, |isbn=, |location= etc.|page={{{page|}}}. What you essentially say is: "I want to set the parameter |page= to this template's parameter |page=, if specified". You can do the same for |pages= (it just says "pages" instead of "page", which is useful when referring to multiple pages). The three {{{curly brackets}}} stand for a parameter of the template you're writing.|entry={{#ifeq:{{{1|}}}|+|{{PAGENAME}}|{{{1|}}}. This can be interpreted as following: "I want to set the parameter |entry= to this template's first parameter (|1=) if specified, and if the first parameter is set to |1=+, I want to set it to the pagename."Thanks! Now I understand that whole "#ifeq:" thing better. I'll get right on those templates Hk5183 (talk) 23:19, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello 👋🏿 I hope everything is going well with you. I just wanted to follow up on some of the entries for Gungbe that you've added recently and the format for adding new terms. So to begin, Gungbe entries should not have tones in the page title, but only in the headword line. This approach to tone marks has been used for West African languages due to the lack of diacritic usage in the written language, in order for the ease of finding words. You can check Yoruba language entries for example: https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Category:Yoruba_lemmas. Secondly, Gungbe has two, technically three (Hounkpati Capo also created his own 😅), orthographies. For Wiktionary, we are only using the national orthographies of Benin and Nigeria. All of the entries you have posted are in the Nigerian orthography and it would be nice if you could label it, like in this page: osọ. Regardless, thank you so much for your contributions to Gungbe! Feel free to ask any questions regarding the language!
