Please do not mark something as Medieval Latin unless you know that for a fact. L&S give citations in their wonderful Latin dictionary, and here the citations are all pre-mediaeval. They often give a timeframe, as they do here, and Ov. (Ovid) and Verg. (Vergil) are both classical authors who are cited. The moral of the story: don't add information in a language you don't know if it's a total guess when it's easy to check what the truth is. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:26, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. Please don't edit languages you don't know. For example, when adding conjugations to Asturian verbs, many, almost all in fact, of them you added back in November were incorrect. Best to leave it blank or add {{rfinfl|lang=ast|type=verb}}. this website is the best Asturian conjugator you'll find on the web, BTW. --Wikt Twitterer (talk) 23:20, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edits on Latvian vasara, ziema, rudens and pavasaris -- the four seasons of the year -- because I think it better to use explicit lists rather than the {{list}}
template. I don't mean any offense, I just think {{list}}
is too resource-intensive, and I don't really like its format. If you want, we can talk further about this. --Pereru (talk) 16:08, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
{{list}}
templates (which ironically don't actually use the {{list}}
template itself anymore) are not that resource intensive that we can't afford to use them at all. The problem is only with very long pages that use many {{list}}
templates. The Latvian seasons had perfectly fast loading times since the template was only used once on those pages. --WikiTiki89 16:25, 4 January 2013 (UTC)I've seen you put rfe for Arabic verbs, but the rules for finding the roots for verbs are simple and I think you can easily guess the root yourself. Verbs like صبر and نجم which have different forms with specific repeated constants are always from an Arabic root consisted of those constants, and there's no exception, so it's correct. However, when the root is consisted of ی y, و w, or ء ʾ, it will produce more complicated forms in which the constant is replaced by vowel, or is omitted, like the verb قِ qi, "Stop!", which is from the root و ق ي w-q-y. In these cases, you can find the root from the forms which has shadda, such as زين zayyana, cause when ی y, و w, or ء ʾ have shadda, they won't be be omitted or replaced by vowels. --Z 15:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello Sir, I hope this is the correct way to contact you. I'm Italian and my mother tongue is called Ladin. It is a Rhaeto-Romance language of about 30,000 speakers, spoken in the Italian Alps. It is very close to the Swiss Rumantsch. I would like to create a few entries in Ladin when I have time, in order to help to keep my mother tongue alive :) I have already been entering a few translations to English entries into Ladin. Here is an online dictionary for Ladin http://db2.pixxdb.net/voc_gh/deu/index.html Unfortunately it only contains translations from Ladin to German and vice versa, there are no translations into English. After entering only the translations, I started now to write proper entries as well, for example I have already entered the word "roa" which means landslide. However, if I look at the code for entries in other languages, I understand that there should be a template such as lld-noun and lld-verb, where lld is the international code for Ladin. Is this template necessary and how can I create it. I also don't know how I can create completely new pages. "roa" is a word in other languages as well, so I can just add the Ladin entry to them, but for words that are unique how do I create a new page? Thanks for helping. Alexander
{{lld-noun}}
and help with creating Ladin entries (after all, s/he seems interested in learning a Romance language). Cheers and best of luck with any deity. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 08:39, 8 February 2013 (UTC)Hello Lo Ximiendo,
Hoping that I am doing this correctly, I would like to ask you a question. I have started adding a few entries in a language called Nalca, belonging to the Papuan language family of the Mek languages branch. As shown on Template:nlc, Nalca does not seem to have an assigned language family. However, when I try to edit this, I am told that the ability to edit the entry is locked. If you have the time, could you please tell me how would I go about to do this, or just simply whom I can contact? It is just sad to see Nalca without an assigned language family.
Best regards,

Hi,
Since you've been editing a lot of Arabic root entries lately, depending on your needs, I recommend you to purchase Hans Wehr dictionary. It's the best recognised Arabic dictionary but it needs some getting used to, as the words arranged alphabetically by their roots. Then your edits won't need to "guess" the meanings of roots and most words derived form roots follow the root entry. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
I object to your adding {{rfe}}
to Czech entries. The template is going to idly sit in entries for ages, for no good purpose. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:39, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
The same with {rfp} and {rfe} for other languages. I don't mind adding sometimes an {rfp} template to an entry which looks weird and you don't know how to pronounce it, but I don't understand why you're adding {rfp} to every entry you see. It's very annoying. Tell me why are you doing this? Maro 20:05, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
I added it because it did not yet exist as an entry and needed defining. It is a very common and popular franchise format really. Restaurants like Hooters are breastaurants and if you bothered to Google it you would see how rampant its use is. I am assuming however that you never had heard of it yet, but I am sure for instance you will easily find it in any business or media publication.108.212.70.237 01:54, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, please don't change the template {{prefix}}
to {{compound}}
in German etymology sections for separable verbs. There's a debate going on (feel free to take part!), so it's an open question ATM. Longtrend (talk) 12:24, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I accidentally reverted your good edit (wrong button). --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:31, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi, why did you remove the {{de-verb-weak}}
template from plazieren? Longtrend (talk) 16:22, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Made for you. --Perhaps another fan (talk) 22:57, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Here's one question I'm willing to ask to visitors and fellow editors: if this film is in theaters, would you watch it? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 09:03, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Why are you depopulating Category:dsb:Male and Category:dsb:Female? —Angr 11:51, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
Please stop removing manual transliterations until we have a consensus. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 06:58, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. On searching the Italian version of Wikisource for words to add, I came across a totally unintelligible document - it was in Ladin. So, as you have noticed, I am adding Ladin words to the best of my ability. As you have worked with these words in the past, could you correct any of my mistakes. There is an increasing number of words in the "attention" category - mostly because I have come across a verb form and don't know what the infinitive is. I can't find a good Ladin (to English or to Italian) dictionary online, so am mostly using, as a Rosetta Stone, these two files and ] - they are more or less the same content in Ladin and Italin.

Hi there. I'm concerned about a specific bot user currently editing that does not have the bot flag. I've asked that he limit the number of edits he makes from what it is now down to ~1 a minute and he's refused. I also have the nagging suspicion that this could be WF, if you know what I mean. Razorflame 18:04, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. kunvivebla is a compound word of kun+vivebla. Just thought I'd let you know :) Razorflame 19:52, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Affirmative. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 00:07, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi Lo Ximiendo! I see you've added some Ainu words in the past. Are you still interested in working on that language? I want to start an Ainu project. --BB12 (talk) 17:53, 4 September 2013 (UTC) I have been thinking about different languages, actually; with the aid of Omniglot, in particular --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 00:04, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Do you have any input to Wiktionary:Requests_for_deletion/Others#Category:en:Energy_medicine as to what the category is good for, whether it should be a subcategory of "emergency medicine" and why it should be kept? --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:52, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
Please don't hyphenate in languages you don't know. You're making mistakes, and adding hyphenation is still not adequate justification for removing an rfp. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:15, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
I have to second this. You did many mistakes in Armenian, which I fixed. --Vahag (talk) 07:02, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Do you need a doctor or something? Seriously, I’m becoming pretty concerned for you. --Æ&Œ (talk) 11:39, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
You have been changing numerous Template:context labels to Template:cx labels. This is incorrect, as the abbreviation has been deprecated. Choor monster (talk) 19:11, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
Edits like this one are completely unnecessary, and you may end up putting an incorrect pronunciation in the entry. The {{pl-IPAc}}
template is kind of experimental-ish. Sometimes it generates wrong syllable breaks, and I may have overlooked a few devoicing rules. I may need to rewrite it again. (My IPA is a bit shaky, too.)
This kind of edit may be even counter-productive. Say, someone wants to add another (non-standard? dialectal?) inflection — they will have to re-add the generic template. Keφr 15:35, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Some of your recent edits have been disruptive, even vandalistic, and are not acceptable. Your edits to ozone therapy, ozone, and autism spectrum disorder seem to be advancing pseudoscientific beliefs over scientific ones, which should each be labeled according to how the mainstream medical community views them, like Wikipedia's practices. Please cease. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:07, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
{{tr-noun}}
. It should be done by a speaker of the language who can provide the definite accusative. --Vahag (talk) 09:00, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
{{tr-noun}}
and not providing the definite accusative and plural! --Vahag (talk) 21:53, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
I have blocked you for this edit. You were warned by Metaknowledge above but you did not listen. Block was the only option left. --Vahag (talk) 06:52, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
