I can't figure out what you are trying to do. Your definition was for an adverb. But blinding is an adjective. Perhaps you need to give an example of use. SemperBlotto 08:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Steel Blade 00:36, 26 November 2008 (UTC) Okay then, Mr.Semperblotto. Am I in trouble, sir?
You added an adverb sense, with this example of use - The blinding destruction is causing serious problems for the world.. That is an adjective (it modifies the noun "destruction"). I do not recognise this use of the word anyway. SemperBlotto 08:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
You seem to be using "great" in many definnitions. This is a less than ideal choice because the word "great" has several very different and unrelated meanings. I recommend avoiding it is definitions whenever possible. --EncycloPetey 04:45, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Steel Blade 04:49, 26 November 2008 (UTC) Okay then, sir. Am I in trouble? Thank you for the advice, though.
I reverted your additions of "infinitesimal ,little, tiny" as synonyms of "compact". I don't think "compact" is used to mean "small". I may be wrong -- the way to show it is to find citations (e.g. by using Google Book Search) that use "compact" as a synonym for "small". And, just to preclude you asking, no, you are not in trouble, although it would be good if you used Wiktionary:Edit summaries. JesseW 23:51, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Okay then, sir. Steel Blade 23:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Can you find the citations for compact that means small yourself then? Steel Blade 18:16, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you, Steel Blade. I checked some of your entries because someone else reverted one, but I notice that you have made some useful contributions to Wiktionary. In some cases, I have combined your added sense with a previous similar sense to avoid a long list of nuances of meaning. I hope you are enjoying your last day of January, too. Best wishes.

The word enormously carries overtones of size, which are not part of the definition. This is a case where the context-neutral very seems more appropriate. --EncycloPetey 20:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

This word does not mean "ultimate (last, final)". --EncycloPetey 17:17, 1 February 2009 (UTC) My bad, Mr.Petey. Steel Blade 17:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
In this edit which you described as "(→Adverb: added citation)" the only change you made was to add a period to the end of a definition. This is obviously no kind of a citation. Why, then, did you state in the edit summary that it was? This does not look like a plausible mistake -- this looks like an attempt to mislead other editors. You are not making a good name for yourself, here. JesseW 18:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
You also put your (probably) wrong definitions back into abnormal, supreme and compact with no explanation or citations to verify them. This is discourteous at best, and unacceptable. You need to provide examples of use first. JesseW 18:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
I forgot that it was in the entry, NOT the citation section. So that's why I added a addition with the citation and a period, not to mislead anybody. Steel Blade 19:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
I didn't realize that you had been adding citations, e.g. Citations:supreme, etc. I want to apologize for my claims that you hadn't been doing any, and thank you for doing them -- this makes me feel considerably more confident about your work here. Thanks again! As an optional suggestion, you can add "{{seeCites}}" to the entry pages when you create a Citations page to alert readers of the existence of the Citations page. It'll help avoid confusions like this. JesseW 18:33, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello Steel Blade -- Thank for your recent good-faith edits. Unfortunately the quotations you added for abnormal are not very helpful, since they do not provide adequate sourcing information and do not do a very good job of illuminating the meaning of the term. Please follow the guidelines at WT:QUOTE when selecting and entering quotations. The best quotations are from sources which can credibly be regarded as exemplars of English usage -- such as classic literary sources, major news sources (such as the New York Times), or current books by prominent authors.

Leo Tolstoy died in 1910 and (as far as I know) never wrote in English. He could not have published this quote in English in 1998. --EncycloPetey 22:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
I don't know exactly, but even I don't know all the answers.Steel Blade 22:50, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
I really don't understand that. Steel Blade 22:53, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
You now have a proper noun (which should be defined at Supreme) that is between the adjective and its translations etc. So the translations etc seem to be for the proper noun! Please sort it out - and take much more care in future. SemperBlotto 12:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
When adding a new definition, please be sure that it is different from all existing definitions. On the Goliath entry, you added "Someone or something that is abnormally large or powerful" as a third definition, but definition two already said "Any large person or thing". These two definitions are not different. --EncycloPetey 04:28, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Perhaps you would have better luck asking someone who knows Japanese (we have a few of them here). User:Atitarev, User:Bendono, User:Habemus, and User:Stephen G. Brown are four users who have been recently active who know Japanese. No one you've contacted thus far is likely to assist you, as none of them know Japanese (it's not just a matter of having the translations, it's also a matter of knowing how to format Japanese entries). -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 03:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi. Have you thought about using the Preview button, so you can see the results of your edits before you save them? This would spare you from editing the same articles many times in a row, which is confusing to follow. Equinox ◑ 00:13, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
I thought of it before. Steel Blade 00:15, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
I agree that supercolossal is real but I think super colossal is the sum of parts. (You can put super on anything, if it's a separate word.) See WT:RFD#super_colossal and by all means contribute your own opinion. Equinox ◑ 01:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
It still has the tag. Should it be removed? Steel Blade 02:15, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Please be aware that terms do have agreed-upon uses, and that definitions should be as concise as possible, using no unnecessary words. super- includes an implied comparison with massive, as well as the sense of extremely. Thus the comparator 'much'. 'Even' does not convey this sense.
I have the impression you are not examining other sources, nor examining actual usage, when you edit entries. While this may be incorrect, I do encourage you to examine references (though not plagiarizing) when contributing. - Amgine/talk 23:20, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm not trying to plagiarize. Steel Blade 23:25, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for welcoming me to Wiktionary. I have an inquiry for you: what's the meaning of t+, t-, and t in the translation fields? How exactly are those used? Regards. AlphaOmega 14:38, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, but I am not Albert Einstein in those translation fields. And I have no regards about it. Steel Blade 18:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi again, first off just a friendly bit of advice: in future just post a query in one place and also you do not need to remove postings on talk pages like the one you did; particularly because it makes the discussion easier to look back on later on. Now, please check this page again to see what I've done with it; note the usage of {{prefix}} for the etymology and also compare {{suffix}} and {{confix}}. See you around. :) 50 Xylophone Players talk 19:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi. As I requested in March, please decide what you are going to do to a page, and then do it in one action. Lots of minor edits (changing "very" to "extremely" and back again, etc. — this doesn't even change the meaning of the definition, does it?) are unnecessarily time-consuming to patrol. Thanks.
