"No more wire hangers!" Ok, I'll be putting in the index entries in small letters, actually the all caps is a throw back convention from the Concise English Interlingua Dictionary which I didn't quite follow in other glossaries I've made for Interlingua. But...

The ALL CAPS were there for a reason, to help me in building up the list of words, these are to be redirected or deleted later when the actual entries are put in. But if they are unseemly I can do otherwise, and thanks Brion for changing some over to small letters already. You'll notice that I scripted the Volapuk index entries to be in small letters this time...

Dear D.D. thanks for the question... Why I lumped them in at the end... well I did that because I didn't feel up to editing the entire article and undoing someone elses conventions, so, I put what I had at the end and as I learn some more conventions I can edit, edit, edit into homogeniousness :-) Is that a word, I think not... Anyway, the index entries I made really do help me to put in some links and multilingual additions to the terminology. Of course, bots would have been a lot faster, but I can see that the damage that could wreck other things is far too scary to consider, so the index entries help me input all the work I've been putting together manually into the Wiktionary.

It is a word with a small spelling change "homogeneousness", but I prefer "homogeneity". Eclecticology

Feel free to give me a clue if you feel that something is better done some other way, or if there is a convention I should follow. I appreciate your help. Since with regards, Jay B. 2003FEB27

Jay, io lassava un message por te in le Wiktionary:Beer parlour. --Brion 03:08 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)

Jay, please stop making the ALL CAPS titles -- we're just going to make you rename them all anyway. :) --Brion 05:20 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)

Please stop creating those index entries, for now anyway. -fonzy

Hi ILVI. I see you're creating and changing quite a few entries. I've got two questions:

1. Why are translations put after the different parts of speech? Shouldn't there be translations for every part of speech? An example: the translation of English "accent" in Dutch can be "accent" (noun) or "accentueren" (verb). In your scheme they're lumped together at the end.
2. Why does every translation begin with a capital letter? German nouns are written that way and maybe certain parts of speech in some other languages may be written that way too, but the majority of words do not begin with a capital letter.

Hi ILVi. Sorry for mistaking you for a bot. Ofcourse I mistaked you for a bot, that is doing lots of NOOPs to avoid detecting or band-width hogging ;) (You're not that fast) I checked out your links on interlingua and it's true I can read this language relatively fast and comprehensively, which is amazing given my low level of knowledge in French, Spanish, Italian and Portugese.

I have asked you once please slow don on the index pages. Non-one has agrred to a set layout for them yet.. -fonzy

Sorry Fonzy, but if there is no set layout, then what's wrong with my putting up some indexes I find helpful in entering words into the English Wiktionary??? It seems to me that the layout I'm putting together of late is what I've been developing based on the suggestions of other Wiktionary contributors. So I really think this is as close as I've gotten to put together the indexes. I find them helpful and I'm sure others would as well. Sincerely, Jay B.

Look at it from the other side: what's wrong with it is that when we decide on a layout and it's not yours then we have to change the whole lot. Secondly, I don't know who gave you these suggestions, but they surely aren't mine. I don't really like the layout and the HTML syntax. If I remember well there was at least one other user who didn't agree (I'll have to search for the page to tell you his/her name). I agree with Fonzy and I also ask that you would slow down a bit. Fair enough? D.D. 15:32 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)

the simplest index you could have is this: User:Fonzy/sandbox -fonzy

Now that I have gotten over the initial shock of all your index work I can admit (perhaps grudgingly) its possible value. Just as I quickly found on individual word pages that ISO language codes can leave people puzzled, I find the same thing in article titles. I was about to wrongly suggest that the attractive colour bands for Swedish should be in gold and blue until it dawned on me that you were dealing with Swahili rather than Swedish. Having a longer title with the language name seems a lesser evil than having a shorter one with codes that many people don't know. We're better to deal with that before there are too many of these pages. ☮ Eclecticology 22:20 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)

Hello. Your last articles about McJob, dead president, are very interresting :-) --youssef 13:15 Jun 30, 2003 (UTC)

I was reviewing the various schemes used for indexing the English pages in the hope of making them cohere when I ran into your Wiktionary:En index. As you appear to have worked very hard on this (all on Feb. 27) I did not want to dump this orphan without asking you about it. The similarly named pages for specific letters make sense to me, and I plan to move them to a consistent title format. In the page being questioned, in addition to the top level English index that I expected there is a very long list of links to many words.

Please let me know on my user talk page whether you still have plans for this page, or whether it should be treated as an abandoned experiment and simply deleted. Thanks. Eclecticology 20:33, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)

The page in question has been deleted. None of the links on it led to existing pages, and seemed to be awkwardly named. Much of this long list of links may be better treated on other pages. Eclecticology 16:47, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Hi. Why have you double-noded Volapük words? I'm unable to find any reference to using y-conventions such as oy for ö, so I don't see the justification in putting an entry such as xayinoyn in the wiktionary at all, when clearly there is no trouble in creating xäinön. Unless these are legitimate alternate spellings and not just a nonce 7-bitification, I think these should be removed. —Muke Tever 10:41, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi there. This entry is a bit encyclopedic. Perhaps you would like to edit it a bit, and format it according to our usual style - see Wiktionary:Entry layout explained. Cheers SemperBlotto 21:22, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ekspreso

I'm not a 100% sure, but I think we don't want Ekspreso words or translations here. Ncik 16:53, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Your admin status

Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on vowiki, where you are an administrator. Since vowiki does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.

We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Tu estado como administrador

Hola. Soy un steward. Una nueva política relacionada con la remoción de permisos avanzados (administrador, burócrata, etc.) recientemente fue adoptada por consenso comunitario. De acuerdo a esta política, los stewards están revisando la actividad de los administradores en wikis sin política de inactividad.   Reúnes los criterios de inactividad (ninguna edición y ninguna acción administrativa en dos años) en ladwiki, donde eres administrador y burócrata. Como eso wiki no tiene un proceso propio de revisión de la actividad de administradores, aplica el procedimiento global.   Si deseas conservar tus permisos, debes notificar a tu comunidad que los stewards te enviaron información acerca de tu inactividad para discutir el tema. Tras la decisión de la comunidad, si esta desea que mantengas tus derechos, por favor contacta a los stewards en m:Stewards' noticeboard y enlaza la discusión local, donde se exprese el deseo de que conserves los permisos y se demuestre una necesidad de mantenerlos.   Los stewards evaluaremos las respuestas. Si no hay respuesta alguna después de un mes aproximadamente, procederemos a remover tus permisos administrativos. En caso de duda, evaluaremos las respuestas y dejaremos la decisión a la comunidad local para su comentario y revisión. Si tienes alguna pregunta, contáctanos en m:Stewards' noticeboard.   Saludos cordiales, Rschen7754 05:28, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
