Hi Dubaduba,

Welcome to Wiktionary and thank you for adding those Dutch words. We have a policy of not adding translations between non-English words though. Translations go from non-English to English and from there it is possible to find a translation to other non-English languages. If we don't do this, the project becomes totally unmanageable. I corrected some of your entries. Please also add the part of speech you are describing. Many thanks! Polyglot 23:13, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi,

You have a hard talk page to reach (because of your main user page redirect.)

I am hesitant to change the google search item, as APIs do change. On the other hand, I think what you mention is a published API item. I'll have to follow the discussion over on MediaWiki talk:Googlesearch... --Connel MacKenzie 02:10, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Greek words

Hi there. Why the strange format? Foreign language words should be like this . .

==language==
===part of speech===
headword
# translation into English

Cheers SemperBlotto 23:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

This remark is still valid, Dubaduba. You should use ===Noun=== instead of {{noun}}. Vildricianus 20:53, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Greek contributions

Please format your contributions according to Wiktionary style. For example at "ιεραπολις" you have:

Greek (Ancient)

Crosswalk

Strong's

• Strong's concordance number: G2404

• Ἱεράπολις / Hierapolis / hee-er-ap'-ol-is
• From G2413 and G4172; holy city; Hierapolis, a place in Asia Minor:

Proper noun

Hierapolis.

It must be at the correct title, with the accents and proper capitalization: Ἱεράπολις and should look more like:

Ancient Greek

Pronunciation

• hee-er-ap'-ol-is

Etymology

"Holy city," from ἰερός and πόλις.

Proper noun

Ἱεράπολις (Hierapolis)

1. Hierapolis, a place in Asia Minor.

References

• Strong's concordance: G2404

In particular: information should be divided among our standard headings, and real words should be used instead of other reference numbers in the etymology. —Muke Tever 20:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

και v καί

hi Dubaduba

I have moved the modern Greek and back to unaccented και where I think it belongs. I know nothing of Koine so have left καί well alone. Hope that you not unhappy :) Saltmarsh 15:56, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Sanskrit

Hi, do you know much Sanskrit? I'm cleaning up the entries from Wiktionary:Requests for deletion#Sanskrit contributions from User:8, and came upon your list of Sanskrit words. The issue came up of transliterations, so your input on whether to use the transliterated word as an entry or the devanagari would be good. Thanks - Taxman 20:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Greek pronunciation

Please give Greek pronunciations using standard pronuncation schemes (IPA and SAMPA) only. It is not appropriate or useeful to give them in the Greek alphabet or as ad hoc respellings. For example, πατριά should be:

• patriˈa, /patri"a/

(IPA and SAMPA respectively). Note the tonic accents. Ad hoc schemes ("pat-ree-ah'") are not used in Wikipedia as these are not well-defined (is the first "a" pronounced as in "pay", "pat" or "pa"? Is the final h pronounced?).

Thanks. — Paul G 06:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Διά

I just edited διά, and felt that you, as the original author of the page, ought to be informed. I felt as though there were too many meanings given, so as to rob the reader of any hope of ascertaining the primary thrust of the word. But, I must admit, that it now feels just a bit sparse. Perhaps we could create two separate entries for the gen. and acc. meanings? Take a look and see what you think, and feel free to let me know your thoughts or simply edit the entry.

Strong's Greek moved

I know that you are no longer active here but anway: I have moved your subpage "strong's greek1000" to "Strong's Greek", to match the proper capitalization of "Strong" and "Greek" and to remove the impression that only the first 1000 items are contained. Please revert me if you disagree. Your subpage is very helpful. --Dan Polansky 07:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

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 Dubaduba. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dubaduba~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
