sole

Thanks for adding the pictures to sole. However, bear in mind that we don't disambiguate like Wikipedia does. So, the pictures did not apply to the first set of English definitions (only), nor the Esperanto (only), nor the French (fish), nor the Italian (sun). I have moved one of the pictures to a more appropriate place. Please let me know if you have any questions. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 06:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Question

I've responded on my talk page. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 00:54, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

结晶

In Mandarin, most verbs can also function as nouns and this is indeed the case with this word - I have confirmed this in several dictionaries (both online and in print). ---> Tooironic 10:53, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

IMHO, the noun meaning of 结晶 should be crystals (the tangible thing, not the process) (used often metaphorically, eg. 這件藝術品是他多年來的經驗的結晶), while the process of crystallisation is 結晶作用. But since you checked the dictionaries I won't change it back. Kayau 05:13, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Not just dictionaries but also the Baidu page talks about both senses. Cheers. ---> Tooironic 05:30, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

痛苦

Note my changes here re formatting. Cheers. ---> Tooironic 09:55, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Looks nice. Thanks. Kayau 10:14, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

非法

Note I added the RS value here by looking up the first character of the word (非) and noting the line:

• 非 (radical 175 非+0, 8 strokes

And thus adding rs=非00 to the template. ---> Tooironic 10:41, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

bloody

Hi. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to roll back your changes to bloody. The reason is that 1. vulgar is a standard description in these cases. And 2. the additional sense makes no sense, and appears to be a noun anyway. -- ALGRIF talk 15:34, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't mind, I was just bored yesterday. Things are going quite slowly (as usual) on en and zh wikibooks and I can't bring myself to continue doing the repetitive work on zh. So I decided to snoop around. Kayau 06:29, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Smiley and emoticon

Not the same. A sad face is an emoticon but not a smiley. Equinox ◑ 14:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Cantonese

Please use yue rather than zh-yue. Thanks, Mglovesfun (talk) 11:35, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I see. Thanks. I will remember that in the future. But please clean it up for me, because I have no idea how to handle that markup. :P Kayau 11:36, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
