Appendix talk:HSK list of Mandarin words/Beginning Mandarin

We actually only list 8821 words, which was the number of words on the list prior to 2001. In 2001, 19 more words were added. Those words still need to be added to our list. A-cai 15:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Font size too small
the font size of the list is too small. Also, words should be listed vertically, don't use multiple columns. Chinese' readability on computers is limited anyway, and it should not artificially be made worse.
 * The font size is fine. If people have trouble reading they can zoom in like everyone else does when reading Chinese websites. Plus making the font artificially large would go against the wikt's CSS. Tooironic 07:08, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

duplicate entries
There were several duplicate entries which I removed. Later I found that http://www.chinese-forums.com/vocabulary/ also includes these, so it's probably the case that the same word is included several times with different meanings. I'm not sure it makes sense to include it in the list tough without something to differentiate the two entries. Foolip 14:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Duplicate entries are 上, 为, 了, 会, 分, 只, 叫, 呀, 哪, 啊, 回, 在, 地, 好, 对, 当, 往, 把, 站, 等, 花, 过, 过去, 还, 那, 那么, 里, 长 (2 of each), 下, 多, 得, 点 (3 of each).
 * Yep, the same issue is in Elementary Mandarin article. Maybe there's the same problem in the other two. I'll try to fix it later, but I'm not very sure too. Kolas 19:39, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Some duplicate entries have different pronunciations, and each pronunciation has their own meaning. Hence, some entries were listed twice in different positions. I've added those entries back and differentiated the entries with parenthesis of corresponding pinyins next to them. The entries with different meanings are much more difficult to deal with. Also, without more information, it is difficult to determine which meanings are required for Beginning Mandarin. Those I left alone.

Authentic List from HSK Organization
大家好！

does anyone have a link pointing to the original and authentic list by the HSK Committee? 谢谢！ --- a simple question to zealots of corrections, how is easier to read 计量经济学

jìliàngjīngjìxué

or

jì-liàng-jīng-jì-xué?

 * Actually it should be jìliàng jīngjìxué. The rules of pinyin dictate that you seperate WORDS by SPACES. Stop adding hyphens. You're creating a lot of extra work to clean up after you. ---> Tooironic 13:00, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

two questions:
 * 1) since when econometrics is two words -- econo and metrics?
 * 2) where can i read more about "the rules of pinyin", date, author, anything?

clean up after yourself, i create something nonexistent, hope there's no one holding your hands from adding pinyin everywhere it's absent, with or without hyphenes, somehow it didn't itch you when these were just han-zi (guess how to read look)

 * 计量经济学 is a Mandarin word, not an English one. In Chinese it is divided into 计量 (lit. "measure") and 经济学 ("economics"). Knowing word boundaries will assist in adding spaces when typing pinyin. As for pinyin rules, it's common knowledge and knowable within one Google search . If you have any more questions you can always leave me a message on my talk page. Cheers. ---> Tooironic 08:24, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

- 1 do i understand you right that an English word "buffalo" immediately turns to two Chinese words "water" and "cow"? Or does it remain "buffalo" = shui-niu?

And if 计量 and 经济学 are two words, why does my dictionary gives it as one? Maybe my dictionary cheats me and i should do as you say?

2 my question abt pinyin was actually "where is it written i shouldn't write hyphens between syllables to mark them according to the quantity of hanzi?" Google doesn't answer it, so perhaps you can explain your own request towards my activity.

a person sees 计量经济学 and jì-liàng-jīng-jì-xué - something in his brain tells him which syllable is for which hanzi

a person sees jìliàngjīngjìxué and doesn't know how to read it, which is an artificial complication for people who start learning Chinese

is it an intention to make an impression "Chinese is so hard"? well, perhaps it's time to turn to "Chinese is easy and learns fast" concept

 * This is a dictionary, not a place for learning a language. I never said that 计量经济学 was two words, but rather that it has two components and thus should be written as jìliàng jīngjìxué. If you don't understand basic pinyin formatting perhaps you shouldn't be contributing here. ---> Tooironic 06:15, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

--
 * nah, sorry, but this is not a dictionary -- i was told so when tried to create a list of Western names in Chinese, so this is _not_ a dictionary

 * next, if you never said "计量经济学 was two words" then who wrote this: "In Chinese it is divided into 计量 (lit. "measure") and 经济学 ("economics")"? Hope we won't discuss "math = count + learn" or "to phone = hit + electric + voice". One word is always just one word => jì-liàng-jīng-jì-xué -- econometrics.

 * If you look at my IP, then you probably realize, the question of phonetic transcription isn't a big issue in my case -- see what i've done >>> a person willing to learn Basic Chinese comes to this page and sees how to read hanzi, instead of staring at the unknown symbols.

 * is it the jealousy which makes you say "you shouldn't be contributing here"? -- maybe you should talk to "heart + manage + learn + ist" about this (心理学家).

 * No need to resort to name-calling. Either contribute something worthwhile to this project or prepared to be blocked. ---> Tooironic 02:14, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

 * name calling vs "i've got the power"? what name were you called by the way? seeing things, huh?
 * sure, block me as you claim yourself a judge to detemine what worthwhile is -- undoubtedly you are a number one in "worthwhile list", but why is it me who adds reading to symbols then?

--- vandalized what?
 * You've been blocked for one month due to your constant vandalism. Don't say you weren't warned. ---> Tooironic 13:26, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Move templates to a note section
"intermedate mandarin", "advanced mandarin" etc templates are quite useful, but they really look out of place at the beginning of the definition (when I first saw them, I really wondered what it meant). Can I request a bot to move them to "note" section and change the template text to make it somewhat more explicit (somethink like "The HSK considers this word to be necessary for mastery of mandarin at intermediate level."--Zolo 10:17, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Format
the order of trad. simp. is incorrect, not following the usual convention. It should be trad. then simpl, then pinyin. Other things: 字 terms can also be 词 and there are three other lists: Elementary Mandarin, Intermediate Mandarin and Advanced Mandarin. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:51, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I've only dealt with Beginning Mandarin, so in the three other lists zi and ci are still merged, you can help with that if you want, because it would cost me a lot of time. Moreover, in the original wordlists, zi and ci are separated. And I don't think it matters if trad comes first or simp comes first. --kc_kennylau (talk) 03:54, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I am quite active with other things, including other Chinese entries and translations. I'm not putting any pressure on you, just mentioning that the other lists differ in format. :) They can be done later. It's better to change the order (trad./simpl.), since that's the way adopted by other editors and that's how they appear in translations, if you don't have time for this, I will change it later. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:08, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, changing the order can be done quite easily using regex, so I'll do it now. But for the other lists, I'll have to do them later. --kc_kennylau (talk) 14:55, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. --kc_kennylau (talk) 14:59, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Adding HSK grade to entries
Just as Kanji entries do, the HSK level of the words' meanings could also be added. --Backinstadiums (talk) 06:55, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Apparently, some words do have such a tag (不僅) --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:34, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Meanig(s) of words
By definition it's a list of words, not just characters; therefore, how can we know which of the several meanings of a word are to be categorized in such a level? --Backinstadiums (talk) 08:55, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * We don't. Such information is not released AFAIK. ---> Tooironic (talk) 16:59, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Appendix:HSK_list_of_Mandarin_words
Regarding Appendix:HSK_list_of_Mandarin_words, except for the first level, the rest presents first the simplified word, then traditional in parentheses, which as far as I can tell is the reverse approach taken here to avoid Simplified redirects. Furthermore, the advanced level shows a formatting error, starting at letter "w", repeating "Template:l" in a column several times. --Backinstadiums (talk) 08:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * What's happening on the page for the advanced level is that the "post-expand include size" is being exceeded, so some templates cannot be shown, and they are shown as links. I don't totally understand what that means, but I guess it's something about the storage size of the text in the templates. The problem could probably be fixed by splitting the page up. — Eru·tuon 08:16, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The words starting with the letter "x" do not show up, can you find them? Secondly, can the order be changed so that the traditional character appears first and the simplified one in parentheses? Can a raw .txt file of all of them be created? --Backinstadiums (talk) 08:15, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't understand. I can see the words starting in x in all of the lists. You just have to go to section x in the table of contents.
 * A text file could maybe be created with Module:sandbox. I experimented with processing a few lines. — Eru·tuon 19:03, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, see . Text file, in order pinyin, traditional or both, simplified. Is that what you wanted? — Eru·tuon 19:20, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Oops, I should clarify, that's only the Advanced words. They are easier to process than the Beginning words because they have simple wikilinks and the traditional and simplified versions are both in the wikitext. — Eru·tuon 19:30, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. Since HSK levels are not added in entries, for the learner to identify them those entries could alternatively be indexed to its respective categories of HSK levels, information which would show up at the bottom together with the rest of the categoreries; therefore, can those words be indexed automatically to HSK level categories (which are not created yet)? --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:58, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

 * : You keep saying in multiple places that HSK level is not marked in entries. That's incorrect. If you look at word lists in Appendix:HSK list of Mandarin words starting from Appendix:HSK list of Mandarin words/Beginning Mandarin, you will find that majority of terms belong to the category. But if they don't, the answer is simple, nobody added them yet. E.g. has a category template:, which puts the words into Category:Beginning Mandarin.. No deus ex machina, somebody has to add those categories, as simple as that. The Chinese HSK coverage is way better at Wiktionary than Japanese JLPT at Wiktionary --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:42, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying. Even as an amateur, I am used to working with corpora databases, using regular expresions, macros and the like thanks to automatic or systematic approaches, so it strikes me the manual orientation of the editing process in Wiktionary. Ideally, "throwing" a term into a category should immediately and automatically adding a label of such a category to the entry itself; which would encourage users' participation editing. --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:06, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * : There are automated things and manual things. People who created the HSK lists in Appendix:HSK list of Mandarin words are not necessarily the same people who created entries. Entries are created manually over time by people who know those words. I have tried to add categories to word I created myself but I'm sure I have missed some and I only did a fraction of those words. Adding a word to a category is easy but someone has to do it. If you're used to automated approaches, why don't you write a bot, which adds missing HSK categories to all the terms on the list? No? Sorry to disappoint you, no deux ex machina again :) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 09:14, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I am being serious. I still do not fully grasp info. like https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Help:Category. Innovative ideas and their implementation by "technicians" are two sides of the same coin. For example, I do not know enough VBA to create a macro, but ponder about  learner-oriented improvements --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:23, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * : If you want to use Wiktionary for learning Chinese, you can still do. The lists in Appendix:HSK list of Mandarin words/Beginning Mandarin are pretty accurate in levels. It's just entries themselves sometimes miss the categories. You can actively help by adding categories. Everybody is a volunteer here. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 09:50, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Can the names of the categories be changed into HSK1/2/3/4? Those are easier to find just with a quick glance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:59, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Just bear in mind that our categories may not be entirely accurate and up-to-date with the current HSK lists. In fact, the whole thing is in desperate need of an audit.. ---> Tooironic (talk) 06:32, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * what'd you mean by "the whole thing"? Secondly, Can the names of the categories be changed into HSK1/2/3/4?--Backinstadiums (talk) 14:08, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I mean we need to check to see if the words we have are the same as the latest official lists. As for the category renaming, you would need to put it to a vote. ---> Tooironic (talk) 14:57, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

גאה and queer

 * I'll preface the "my opinion" part of my response by saying I feel like this is a "no-POV" issue.
 * That as our background, I know a lot of people are comfortable with "queer" as a self-identification. Some of those individuals are rather dear to me. I guess I'm not as woke as them, because I still find it to be one of the most offensive things to be called. I'd rather be called a faggot than a queer. Like, much rather.

This is because we are sensitive to the fact that gay men take precedence over the entire rest of the "alphabet soup" and that many politicians nowadays claim to be pro-LGBT when they are only pro-gay. We are constantly fighting against the tendency to equate LGBT with gay because it translates into fewer resources for us and higher rates of poverty, as well as a lack of protection against discrimination in many cases. So that's why we prefer the term "queer" because unlike gay, it refers to people who show any form of non-conformity with heteronormativity. And we find the term "the gay community" offensive because it is a form of homonormativity. Ligata (talk) 08:47, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Finally, in locking the page you were assuming bad faith when you should have at least understood that queer is a more nuanced term than you were making it out to be. All I did was add a term to the translation that is widely used and that I self-identify with, and that, furthermore, was translated that way in the name of an organization, which I cited as an example. You reverted without explanation, and all I asked for was an explanation. Instead of reverting without explanation and then locking, you should have discussed the matter with me. I did absolutely nothing wrong and the way you are acting is not reflective of Wiktionary's stated values. Ligata (talk) 10:03, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Wiktionary is not a platform for you to push your particular view of what words should mean. You are complaining that I removed "queer" preferring "gay" as a definition of the Hebrew word that would not have this meaning if it were not for the English word "gay."
 * I understand that queer is a more nuanced term. That's why I removed it from the neutral-word entry. Wiktionary is not based on your self-identification. And in this very particular matter, your opinion is vastly irrelevant because you don't actually speak Hebrew, so you have no idea what sort of nuances the word גאה might carry for people like myself who actually do speak Hebrew.
 * Lastly, you did not ask for an explanation. You demanded one. You might not have done anything wrong, but neither did you do much anything right. The way you are acting is obviously reflective of some extremely self-centered values. The smarter you are, the more likely you will be to just let this go.
 * Good day. —  Z. [ קהת ] b"A. — 12:11, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * First of all: I didn't at first demand an example; I first reverted your revert and gave a reason for mine, that you gave no reason for yours. That wasn't demanding, that was requesting an example. Secondly, I don't see a huge problem with demanding that on a collaborative dictionary project, you justify reversions of anything other than obvious vandalism. And even with obvious vandalism it's easy enough to just say "rv vandalism" and if it's not vandalism we can discuss that too. Why is that so much to ask? What would happen if someone without moderating priviliges acted the way that you are acting?
 * I cited a specific example of Hebrew speakers - in fact, Israeli citizens - using it to mean the thing that you are asserting it not to mean. As a non-Hebrew speaker, this is the only scenario in which I ever add definitions to Hebrew words. Look right here for the organization name that I was specifically citing. Note that in the name, the Hebrew word is גאות, the English word is queers, and the Arabic word is a direct borrowing of "queer" pluralized. So the word is translated twice as queer, into two different languages, in the specific example that I cited in my very first edit. I didn't just add it out of nowhere; why would I ever do such a thing? Does my edit history suggest that I just go around making up definitions for words? Why on Earth would you just assume I was making this up out of nowhere instead of googling the name of the organization I was citing as an example? Ligata (talk) 13:28, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * And funny enough, you say "Wiktionary is not a place to impose your personal views," and yet you are asserting a definition of גאה that is contradicted by one of the examples already attested on the page before I ever edited it and that is still on the page right now. If one of the examples refers to an LGBT film festival, aren't you the one imposing your personal views and using your privilege as a fluent speaker as leverage to shut me up? Ligata (talk) 13:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

 * A couple things to point out here: Names of organizations are not a good source of accurate translations. The translation of the name of an organization is meant to describe the essence of the organization in roughly the same way, but not necessarily have the same exact literal meaning. The second thing is that גאה clearly is also applied to women in this sense, which means that it cannot be restricted to "gay men". So out of the four letters in LGBT, it must at the very least refer to the L and G, but it's up to actual speakers of Hebrew familiar with this area of terminology to decide whether it also refers to the B and the T (and whatever else). --WikiTiki89 15:08, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Lithuanian headwords that don't match the pagename

Removal of "Judaism" label from 堕天使 ("fallen angel")
I was curious about, as the Fallen angel article has a section discussing fallen angels in Judaism. However, that article is a bit confusing to me. Is it that fallen angels were an historical aspect of Second-Temple Judaism, but now they are not part of modern Judaic thought? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 18:33, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Use of the term in Japanese and any even vaguely mainstream concept of fallen angels in Judaism do not overlap in the slightest. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:03, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

 * The concept described in our entry fallen angel (an "angel" that has "rebelled" against its creator) — from the viewpoint of basic, traditional Jewish theology — is utterly, bafflingly ludicrous. "Angels" are things that G-d creates to serve a designated purpose. They have no free will to rebel. If an angel were to "rebel" against G-d, it would be because that's what it was created to do. I wouldn't call that "falling". Haréi, I expect that your average Muslim would have similar reactions to the term, but I'm actually not well-versed enough in Islamic cosmology to state it as fact. And I'm too lazy to read the Wikipedia article.
 * Anyway. Judaism is not Christianity minus Jesus. —  Z. [ קהת ] b"A. — 19:54, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

explain your mass revert vandalism of Category:Abrahamism and Category:Protestantism
Lysdexia (talk) 01:17, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

 * 97% of the entries you added to the Abrahamism categories, which you did not go on to create with the devastatingly easy, did not belong in Abrahamism categories, they belonged in Christianity categories. If you aren't going to take the time to add appropriately specific categories, I'm not going to take the time to check every single one. Reverting your lazy edits adding red-linked categories isn't vandalism. —  [ זכריה קהת ] Zack. — 01:21, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * A semicolon belongs there. Your Christianity and Gnosticism reverts weren't justified, nor was your Lucifer revert.  On the Catholicism and Anglicanism reverts those better belong in Papism and Petrism categories but most readers involved shall find those deprecative.  So I'll ask you what makes a religion "Christian" or fit under that category?  Does Messianic Judaism go under Christianity?  Does a parody, misinterpretation, or opposition of the NT?  My edits weren't lazy but the opposite of yours; you'd need to know the material first to deem ascriptions to each sect. Lysdexia (talk) 02:42, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

 * I'm noticing other problems, but I'm not going to take the time to explain if it doesn't seem like you're interested in what you did wrong. —  [ זכריה קהת ] Zack. — 01:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

 * This one is easy enough: You vandalized this entry by changing the category from an appropriate, specific one, to a vague useless one. —  [ זכריה קהת ] Zack. — 01:27, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No, that was overspecific and inconsistent with the term's entries. However if you want terms to link to their own categories, unlike that one, I already left those on many that already had them.  Nothing justifies your tool use. Lysdexia (talk) 02:24, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Then you could have removed the word "Roman" and it would have been fine. It was one example of something you did in other entries. Another thing you did was add categories to forms-of, when they should always be at the lemma. On "many" that had them is utterly irrelevant. You overwrote more specific ones with less specific ones at least as often as you left the originals. Regardless, if an entry is in the category "Christianity" it does not need to also be in "Abrahamism." Entries don't belong in every parent of every cat they're in. It's nobody's job to clean up after your carelessness. Leave me alone or I'm going to give you a short block for disruptiveness. —  [ זכריה קהת ] Zack. — 02:29, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Reversion of edits
Hey, I’m a fairly new user, so I’m a bit confused as to why you reverted some of my edits. I’m assume that you have a valid reason for reverting the pages, and I don’t want to waste your time, so I want to avoid making unhelpful edits in the future.

Thanks
...for creating the Maltese lemmas. Note that I've created new conjugation templates for ita/a-a, ita/a-i and eng. When you want to use these with a verb with two initial consonants you can switch to ita2/a-a, ita2/a-i and eng2. (That's how I called them...) You'll get the same thing but it adds ni-, ti-, ji- in the imperfect instead of n-, t-, j-. 2.202.159.91 16:35, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I haven't worked on Maltese in a year or two, but the last time I was working on it, I was trying to expand the conjugation templates to include negative forms and direct object pronouns for those that use them. If you want to look at them, I still have them in subpages:

 * User:Qehath/why (the table-template for the table)
 * User:Qehath/why-d (the table-template with direct objects)
 * User:Qehath/why/kiteb jikteb (conj table for kiteb/jikteb type conjugation)
 * User:Qehath/why/kiteb jikteb/d (conj template for the above type, with direct objects)
 * I can't remember exactly how to use them, but it should be relatively easy for me to figure it out again if you need pointers. — <font face="Lucida console"> [ זכריה קהת ] Zack. — 21:49, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I think negative forms would definitely be a great thing. So let's try those, yeah. With objects it gets messy, of course. I mean if we have direct objects, why not also indirect objects, and then direct and indirect combined. Those are more than 1,000 forms; I don't even know how many exactly... Maybe there could be a reduced approach. If I'm not mistaken (I might be), the 1st and 2nd persons of the perfect simply add the endings; there are no changes in the stem. So they're not necessary. And in the imperfect, all singular forms and all plural forms behave the same way respectively. So what might make sense is to have only 5 exemplary forms with direct suffixes: the three 3rd persons of the perfect, and one singular and one plural form of the imperfect (3rd m. and 3rd pl.). That would be 32 forms without suffixes + 70 forms with suffixes. But for now I'd prefer to just do the x-forms. 2.202.159.91 03:25, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Judeo-Spanish Wikipedia
Thank you for helping. We can really use additional contributors. (We also have a very tiny Wiktionary project at incubator:Wt/lad, if you're interested.)

Happens that I noticed above. I'd guess an American Ashkenazi Jew who has learned Spanish might pronounce the leading /h/. I doubt a Sephardi(t) would. You'll notice on ladwiki that an awful lot of pages which have leading /h/ (or even medial /h/) from Hebrew lose it there: "Avraam Avinu", "Bet Amikdash". It even happens in the real world: The local Sephardic synagogue where I live is called "עץ החיים", but is rendered in English as "Etz Ahaim". I fully grant that Judeo-Spanish and modern Spanish aren't the same in phonology, but I have no doubt that leaving it out was correct.

Hello, you have reverted the translations I offered for the quotes on the pages for Isolation and Pour que. My translations were accurate and illustrative of the phrases and as such, I am wondering why you felt it necessary to delete them.

 * I was merely offering my services as a French/Norwegian speaker. You have decided that this nebulous formatting is important enough to warrant a ban but unimportant enough to warrant not fixing it and not explaining the issue in greater detail. Since you are so set on making it more difficult for me to contribute, I see no reason to engage with you further. If you want to reverse my edits, go for it. I won't stand in your way or attempt to reverse these counterproductive measures.

My ignorance? How am I ignorant? Please tell me. I am genuinely curious.
 * I blocked you from editing for a day, including the message that you should take some of that time to familiarize yourself with Wiktionary formatting. The edits you've made since that block expired seem to indicate that you did not do that.
 * Our formatting is in NO way "nebulous"; indeed it is quite the opposite. Our formatting is highly organized and structured so that readers can see information in clear and consistent form, and so that editors can easily find entries with particular features. Editing with disregard for format makes the dictionary look lazy, amateur, unworthy of trust. It takes time to learn how to properly use templates, how we format things, but it's essential for building a meritworthy dictionary.
 * For example, you suggested that I remove the request for English translations of example sentences. The only way to do that is to include a translation within the template. What you were doing, putting translations after the template, does not remove the translation request. The template doesn't recognize what's put outside it.
 * I'll leave it at that for now. I'll end by saying I'll try to keep an eye on your edits and be patient enough to fix the formatting, but we'll need you to take note of the corrections I make so that it won't be necessary for someone to clean up after you.
 * Also, you should sign your messages on talk pages by adding ~ at the end of your messages. — <font face="Lucida console"> [ זכריה קהת ] Zack. — 21:39, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

It's nebulous when it's near-impossible to figure out how it's meant to be done. The 'improper' formatting I used in those pages still exists in other pages that have not been touched by you or by anyone else. What perplexes me is that you decided that this formatting is important enough to warrant reversing edits up to a one-day ban but not important enough to warrant an explanation beyond improper formatting. If you had told me the way that you wanted it formatted, then I would not be responding in this manner because that shows that you actually care to take the necessary time in solving the issue. But as it stands, I have no choice but to see your logic as incoherent and your standards as nebulous. Especially because the information was very clear even in the 'improper' way that I formatted it, I must admit that I do not follow your perspective even slightly and that I am beginning to wonder if there is any point in discussing anything with you at all given your arrogance and your inability to explain yourself with any rational clarity. This is hardly the tone one expects from a site administrator. It's not worth fighting you about, I just think that you should know that you are actively making this thing harder to edit. If upholding some useless standard that does not noticeably impact clarity and that you can't even be bothered to explain―as an administrator no less is more important than the input of information, then that is frankly not my problem. There are many things that you would have done if updating information was your priority but you did none of them. Do with that what you will―it's a mere piece of honest feedback―but I am nonetheless finished with this conversation. Now I could sign this, but I don't see the point. You can keep track of the two people in this conversation.
 * Your arrogance, the projection of which is thoroughly amusing, is very nearly as astonishing as your ignorance. I am not the only person here who values standardization of format. Your disdain for the community standards rather disgusts me. Je ne saurais trop vous conseiller de foutre le camp. If you're too good to give a damn about such simple things as where to put brackets, you must certainly have better things to do than write translations of our lowly use examples. — <font face="Lucida console"> [ זכריה קהת ] Zack. — 21:57, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:martingale

(nautical)- I believe the martingale, in nautical terms, is the same as a bobstay.

martingale
That is true. Martingale is an older term for the chain or cable or spar that reaches from the end of the bowsprit to a chainplate at the forefoot, as a brace against the pressure of the bowsprit. See http://www.seatalk.info/cgi-bin/nautical-marine-sailing-dictionary/db.cgi?db=db&view_records=1&uid=default&Term=bobstay
 * No. The bobstay pulls the bowsprit down to the forefoot.  A martingale is a projection downwards from the bowsprit to which martingale stays and lateral stays are attached.  They do the same job but the bobstay can only permit bowsprit lengths governed by the freeboard; a martingale allows the bowsprit to be lengthened with the addition of a jibboom.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Benedicto16. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Benedicto16~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:39, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

lomcevak

Etymology
Derived from a Czech word which roughly means "headache" or "hangover", the expression "lomcovák" (sometimes spelled incorrectly by non-Czech speakers as "lomcevak") originated from the Moravia region, now in eastern part of Czech Republic, famous for its Jelinek slivovitz, a traditional Czechoslovakian alcoholic drink, and is commonly used to describe the rotating motions of one who has had one too many. The English use originates from Czechoslovakian aerobatic pilot Ladislav Bezák's mechanic, who at a 1958 air show in Brno, Czechoslovakia, jokingly called Bezák's tumble maneuvres "lomcováks" when asked by journalists what they were.

Noun

 * 1)  An aerobatic flying maneuvre in which the pilot follows a knife-edge roll by flipping the airplane end-over-end and into a spin, from which the pilot then recovers control of the airplane.

Talk:fulfilment

Is fulfilment the same as fulfillment?

Are both spellings correct?
 * Second the question. (In fact, it's the reason I came here.) According to dictionary.com (second resort), fulfilment is a variant of fulfillment. I guess that's the answer, but these two entries should be linked/combined somehow. Sadly, I don't (currently) know the correct way to do it. -- 131.111.102.159 11:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
