User talk:TheDaveRoss/Archive-2006-October

Thanks
Thanks for your oversight on my Hindi additions, I don't speak or read any Hindi at all, so the exactitude of my entries is lacking. I appreciate your help. - TheDaveRoss 04:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

 * No problem. You have added many, many entries in Hindi!  :)  The only thing that I would like you to be careful with is the use of ्, which in Hindi is invisible and the letter preceding it takes a half-letter form.  Also, can you tell me where you're getting all of these from?  I'm asking because some of these words seem very colloquial (non-standard) and others seem to be very Sanskritized forms.  I'm not too familiar with the Sanskritized forms and am very skeptical of them (especially when it comes to spelling).  Colloquial ones are somewhat easier to correct and put into standard forms because most dictionaries do carry "vulgar/colloquial" equivalents with standard terms.  --Dijan 05:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dave, I'm also wondering what the source for all these was. The one I just fixed up, पास was given the opposite meaning of the correct one. All the other one's I've checked have been good though, so thank's for adding so many. - Taxman 16:37, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I got them from this page which came from the Hindi Wiktionary. They only have 1:1 translations, so that is as specific as I can make it.  Thanks for looking through them, I was hoping that if I took care of the copy-paste portion others could verify the accuracy.  I did look at the ones that were blue anyway and those seemed correct, so I just assumed that the list was more or less accurate.  If there are some that are entirely wrong or need fixing please let me know. - TheDaveRoss 17:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That seems like a decent source, but for at least a couple the meanings on that list didn't make it into the right article. For ex the meanings for पास and दूर were switched. I'll see if I can't have a go at checking as many of the rest as possible but can you help with that, just to make sure all the meanings you added are the same as the ones on that list? What was your method for creating them, did you semi-automate it or something? Thanks - Taxman 17:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * And now that I think about it, that list isn't exactly a thoroughly copyedited one, it's just one various people added to. There could even be errors in it. At least it's a central place to check them at. - Taxman 17:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, probably you will have noted that there are not many people editing on it.wikt. And that there is a lot of vandalism compared to real activity. Probably we will not find someone to do this, but you can find mans translations corresponding to the 1000 words wordlist on the WiktionaryZ 1000 English words. I hope this helps. Ciao! --SabineCretella 23:56, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Dear TheDave,

Thank you for signaling your confidence in my ability to act as a CheckUser for the English Wiktionary. Your vote means a lot to me. I deeply appreciate it.

You may not be aware, but the Meta: policy dictates that there must be multiple CheckUsers on any given project, or else none will be granted. Each must get 25 votes on their local wiki, as per Meta: policy, to be granted the CheckUser privilege.

I'd like to take a moment to endorse my friends and co-runners. Each of them offers different skills that, as a whole, complement the needs of the English Wiktionary.

 * 1) User:Uncle G has been an English Wikipedia sysop longer than he's been an English Wiktionary sysop.  This year (2006) he has refocused his efforts outside of Wiktionary.  He was dragged away from Wiktionary while cleaning up the tens of thousands of entries on Wikipedia that linked incorrectly to Wiktionary after the case-sensitivity change in June 2005.  He knows Wiktionary very well.  And he is very competent at focusing his efforts wherever they are most needed.  He operated the original Transwiki: bot, before we had the Special:Import feature we have now.
 * 2) User:Kipmaster is a French Wiktionnaire sysop and bot operator who is very technically capable.  He also is in Europe, making his hours of availability complementary to his American counterparts.  He is active in WiktionaryZ imports and understands very well which data can be imported here, from there.  He normally acts as our primary liaison to fr.wiktionary, whenever compatibility issues arise.
 * 3) User:Jon Harald Søby is a steward.  As a meta: steward, he is the primary person we call on to perform CheckUser checks now.  His availability is often limited, but his Central European timezone proves to be very, very useful on occasion.  He has contributed extensively to Wiktionary over the years.
 * 4) User:Kelly Martin was recently called in to help perform CheckUser checks on the English Wiktionary.  She is currently up for election also for the Board of Trustees of Wikimedia Foundation.  (In the unlikely event she wins that election, she will no longer be available to pursue her CheckUser nomination here.)  Since she also has CheckUser privilege on other sister projects, she is accustomed to the 'can's and 'cannot's of CheckUser procedures, in detail.

I hope you can take a moment to consider these fine candidates again. Your support means a great deal to them, as well as to Wiktionary's ability to perform its own CheckUser checks in a timely manner.

Thank you again, for your support. --Connel MacKenzie 06:17, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

theonym
Thanks for the word of greeting; I'll definitely take you up on that offer if I accumulate more candidates for wiktionary. The theonym entry is basically a one-off for now, however. But thanks again! QuartierLatin1968 15:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

TheDaveBot
Observations:
 * A lot of the languages are using "Verb form" as the POS header; seems like a good idea.
 * It would be really good to generate form-of templates instead of the fixed text, particularily because they have user customization features. (we just started looking at making them categorize properly cross-language, see )
 * It would be good to generate the inflection line as.

See User talk:BD2412 at the end for a bit of relevant discussion.

I really do like the idea of an inflection-bot, and I've been thinking on it a while! Robert Ullmann 21:43, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. I think it would be a good idea if you slowed the Spanish bot down (or even stopped it) when we get close to 200,000 entries (in a day or two at the current rate). This will give some humans the chance of hitting it. Cheers. SemperBlotto 11:15, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Plural of
you posted

Hey, just wanted to point out that can accept parameters which are wikified. The reason for this is that if there is nothing on a page which is wikified (something added via template doesnt count) then the page counts as a "dead end" page, so it doesn't get added to the article count, and it goes on a giant "todo" list of things which need cleaning. So, when you are adding plurals (or anything really), if you could just throw in the then it saves a step later on. Thanks! - TheDaveRoss 16:02, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

 * That explains it! I saw someone change one of my edits a while back to link the argument, but then I realized it was already linking it and thought that was double linking it.  I didn't realize it was optional.

 * Sure. No problem. Thanks. RJFJR 17:00, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

TheDaveBot replacement for {third-person singular of}
Hello,

I was just wondering what the point of the replacement of form to  is? Currently, the template already links the target word. --Jeffqyzt 14:36, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, your bot seems to be the same thing for {plural of}, which is similarly redundant. Just curious; it doesn't seem to cause any harm... --Jeffqyzt 14:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Whoops, just read up an article (didn't click before.) Excuse me while I go chew my foot for a while.  --Jeffqyzt 14:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Help:Range blocks

How to: Block an IP range
This is a brief how-to concerning range blocks.

 * What is a range block?
 * A range block is a block which includes multiple IPs within a single block.
 * Why use a range block?
 * Range blocks should be employed when a large amount of vandalism has been coming from a specific range of IP addresses, which usually signifies that a single vandal has access to multiple IPs, such as is the case with a college network, a dynamically addressed ISP, or an IPv6 network.
 * How do I issue a range block?
 * A step by step guide is below.
 * Why should I not issue a range block?
 * If you have any doubt about whether you are blocking the correct range, or whether a range block is needed, it is better to ask first and block later.
 * I need more help...this is complicated.
 * The MediaWiki page goes into more detail than this one, or phone a friend.

The Process
Step by step instructions on range blocking.

 * 1) Establish the range.
 * The first step is to decide what range of IPs need to be blocked. This is done through a variety of methods, but the easiest one is to recognize that a persistent vandal always seems to be coming from IPs which are related, like 192.168.0.8 one day and 192.168.0.42 the next.  If this is the case, a range block is probably in order.  Do a WHOIS on the IP, and it will tell you the range.
 * 1) Formulate the block.
 * Once the range has been determined, formulate the block based on the range. The chart at the bottom of this page may be of use in this.  Two common ranges to block are /24 and /16, 192.168.0.* and 192.168.*.* respectively.
 * 1) Block the range.
 * A range block uses the same mechanism as a normal block, only with a range parameter appended to it in the form /# where the number is the size of the network part of the range. 192.168.0.1/24 blocks 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255, as an example.
 * 1) Contact the ISP.
 * If an entire range of IPs require blocking, it is because one user, or a small group of users have been persistently disruptive, and it is in the interests of all Wikimedia projects to let the ISP know that one of their clients has been behaving inappropriately on Wiktionary. See Abuse reports for more information on this.
 * 1) IPv6 range blocks
 * See MediaWiki page for details of this nightmare world.

Further Background

 * What is an IP?
 * The  is the set of rules that devices follow to communicate over the internet. Under these rules, every place on the internet has a unique address, seen by the hardware as a string of 1s and 0s, but referred to by humans as strings of numbers.
 * This internet protocol address is what is referred to here as an IP.
 * IPv4 and IPv6
 * Under version 4 (IPv4 for short) of the internet protocol, all IPs were 32 bits long, which allows for 232=4,294,967,296 possible addresses. This turned out to not be enough, so 128-bit addresses were added in version 6 (IPv6). Both IPv4 addresses and IPv6 address are currently in use.
 *  IPv4  addresses are typically shown as 4 decimal numbers ranging from 0-255 (representing 8 bits each), separated by periods/full stops.
 * Example : 192.168.63.255.
 *  IPv6  addresses are shown as 8 hexadecimal numbers ranging from 0-FFFF (4 digits representing 4 bits/0-16 each, for a total of 16 bits/0-65536), separated by colons. Leading zeros are usually omitted, with 0000 omitted entirely.
 * Example : 2600:1:235:67:89A:::CDEF

 * What is an IP Range?
 * The internet uses, which divides addresses into a fixed prefix on the left and a variable identifier on the right.
 * An  IP range  is the group of all IPs that share the same CIDR prefix.
 * CIDR ranges are generally shown as an IP within the range (in the usual format), followed by a slash and the width of the prefix in bits. Since a range includes all possible values of the identifier, that part of the IP is basically ignored (you often see it as zeros in logs).
 * Examples : 192.168.63.255/24 (IPv4), 2600:1:235:67:89A:::CDEF/64 (IPv6)
 * Remember that the number after the slash is an exponent: -1 doubles the number of IPs covered, -2 quadruples, etc.
 * What is the significance of IP Ranges?
 * Most IPs are allocated to, which then assign them to individual devices when the devices use the ISP to connect to the internet, or to other organizations which serve a similar function for the devices on their own networks. These IPs are allocated in large blocks, which the ISPs/organizations typically assign in smaller blocks to different parts of their networks, or to larger customers who have networks of their own. These blocks of IPs are mostly organized numerically, so a given block will be all within a given CIDR range.
 * That means that IP editors are usually limited by their ISP to a relatively small CIDR range, and you can prevent them from editing by blocking just that range.

Tools

 * for calculating subnets, masks, etc.
 * for determining ownership and location of IP addresses.

Talk:anachronism

Do we really need this many definitions, when Word of the Day gives just one? "# A person who seems to belong to another time" and "A person who seems to belong to another age" are identical, aren't they?

The etymology looks wrong too. I don't think "ana" means "up" in Greek. Other dictionaries disagree with this etymology (for example, dictionary.com).

The Word of the Day definition is imprecise too - an anachronism applies to any given time, not necessarily the present day. Digital watches are not an anachronism in the present day, but they are if the actors in a film about Victorian times are seen wearing them. — Paul G 14:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Technical notes: please use only the wikified word in the section heading. Also, I think this should be moved to WT:RFC/ instead.  --Connel MacKenzie 16:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * FWIW, this sense is not in the full OED. While checking, I was amused to read that, in 1877, an R Lowe wrote in the (?London) Daily News It is smitten, if I may coin a word, not with an anachronism, but an achronism, viz. the absence of time. A neat pun, and to my limited Greek an appropriate translation. I see Google books has a few cites which seem valid, including possibly an earlier cite, so if anyone is keen...! --Enginear 09:03, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:victory at sea

An adjective? bd2412 T 22:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, well I have found this:
 * The low pressure and relentless northeast winds have really wiped up the ocean into what we used to call Victory at Sea conditions. There used to be a show on the television back in the late 50's about WWII naval battles and such and it always showed a battleship smashing through some rough sea conditions. As kids we all grew up together and eventually grew up and became captains and worked out in the ocean as adults. Everyone knew what you were talking about when you said "Victory at Sea". It meant rough, choppy sea conditions and you did not want to be out in anything smaller than a battleship or an aircraft carrier.
 * bd2412 T 13:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, I found some cites on Usenet. I'm not sure whether it should be an adjective (with "conditions" to be understood), a noun, or just an amorphous idiom, though.  Holding off on adding them at the article for now... --Jeffqyzt 23:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:你娘的

A swear word that is like halfway to FUCK but twice as strong as DAMN. So how about SHIT? Also, what Castlevania 2 is made from.

Added by SB but it didnt make it to the rfvpage before. Andrew massyn 05:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, it sort of is a "swear word" - literally this means "your mother" (nǐ niángde), but by far the more common way of referring to another person's mother in Chinese would be 你的妈妈 (nǐ dí māma). The term contested here, on the other hand, is more common as part of a traditional curse that would be quite familiar to Westerners, and standing alone it does imply that curse. bd2412 T 17:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The entry is indeed a Mandarin swear word. I prefer to not work on swear word entries (call me square).  However, judging by the single most heavily edited word on wiktionary, I don't think it will take long for someone else to come along and fix this.

Talk:batterie

Any takers? The reference is to the wrong word. SemperBlotto 06:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * This word does indeed exist. The bands I marched in used it quite a bit, but they never spelled it. Searching Google for "batterie percussion", a common phrase that would tend to eliminate other uses (such as "batterie de cuisine"), generates 211,000 hits.   I have not been able to convince myself whether "battery" or "batterie" is the more prevalent spelling for this sense.  At the least, we should have an "alternate spelling of" note in there somewhere, I think.

 * I always understood it to mean that part of the drum line that marched; that is, snare drums, tenors, bass drums and cymbals, usually, as opposed to the pit. The primary definition here is one I never heard, but it's identical to the dictionary.com one referenced and should, at the very least, be rewritten. Dvortygirl 15:05, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's fine. It's normally just spelt battery, but this spelling (from French) is also used. Widsith 15:12, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:dark

Same as dull?
Does dark always mean dull or vice versa?

 * No. Black is always dark, but could be, for example, shiny. White is not dark; but it could be dull, flat. DCDuring TALK 20:40, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Military(?) slang?/nomenclature for time
...as in "Zero Dark Thirty"? --Nat (talk) 00:51, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

 * We have : are you suggesting a broader use of dark in such phrases? Equinox ◑ 14:52, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Dark vowels
This doesn't cover "dark vowels" in phonetics. Equinox ◑ 19:02, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

,, ,
 * "dark vowel" = "back vowel"? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 18:58, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Yes. Created (but perhaps we still need something here, if one can say "[vowel] is dark", etc. Equinox ◑ 14:53, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Closed (of theatre, etc.)
Apparently it can also mean something like "closed down; not in use", as of a theatre or TV studio. Obviously this is hard to attest because those places can also be literally dark, dimly lit. Equinox ◑ 14:54, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

before/after dark
why are there entries for before/after dark but not for before/after midnight? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:14, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Dark as Buzzword for Political Enemy- Demonization
There is what I see as a sinster dog whistle use of 'dark', maybe a subsense, used as a poltical buzzword as here. It is used like "Without moral or spiritual light; sinister, malign.", but this use becomes sinister in that it backs off from the full implications of that definition and is more vague/undefined, perhaps to avoid charges of slander, perhaps to make a quasi-spiritual connection in a new age spiritual sense. It uses "That's so dark." to impugn the moral character of the other without making any specific charge or even necessarily reaching the heigh of 'sinister' or 'malign'. Signaling 'political enemy' via an undefined sense. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 01:30, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

 * One YouTube video isn't much. Your vague suggestion needs some great print citations, please. (Remember that "dark" and "black" have had sinister connotations forever, because humans are afraid of the dark. Not racism!) Equinox ◑ 01:32, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

 * See Talk:refute, Talk:Yilan, and Talk:Kuomingtang where I make ongoing comments that pile on what I see as relevant evidence to a particular point. My method is to collect things as I run into them and then if they amount to anything, try to assemble something for the main entry. Regarding that first video above, the person is called dark & light, then their purchase of a website is referenced in the analogy as the thing that is dark, while other characteristics are light, and then dark & light are mentioned again. Note that there is nothing inherently dark about a purchase of a website except the encoded political enemy aspect- a spontaneous website purchase by a political friend could not be dark. So I see the conversation flowing like this: "He has a dark side and a good side deeply connected. The dark side is the spontaneous purchase of a website and the good side is inventions. The dark side is demonic and is bound to the good side." But there was no inherent moral evil in the dark side except the political judgment that the subject is an enemy. Dark is a term used for political demonization without saying anything specific or as rough as "demonic", even if you do make that link explicit later, hence --Geographyinitiative (talk) 02:01, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
