Question from ElizabethLCT (17:45, 28 December 2024)

Hi! I just added an edit to the page about Squeaky Fromme (My first edit!) . I noticed that a lot of the references have hyperlinks. I mentioned a quote by Fran Drescher under the "Popular Culture" section. Should I link the actress' name to her entry in Wikipedia? What's the easiest way to do that? https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Squeaky_Fromme --ElizabethLCT (talk) 17:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from DebRigs (06:39, 30 December 2024)

Hi! I wanted to add a word. My friends and I came up with a group and named it "KUMAGS." A group of friends that loves to hang out and eat, may it be a restaurant, cafe or a house gathering or party. As long as there is food, we contact each other and go to hang out and eat, and we call our group "KUMAGS." The reason for my desire to add this word, because at the moment there is a tagalog word "KUMAG" and it has a negative connotation or meaning. Our group is quite popular and bigger now, so I would like to see if we can add the word "KUMAGS" and give it a proper meaning other than the "KUMAG" word which shows as [noun] lazy idiot (slang); worthless or insignificant person (slang); small insect; flea. I'm Filipino by birth and now a naturalized American. In the Philippines, we have over a hundred dialects, but our national language is tagalog. I speak Tagalog and Visayan. And our dialect varies so much, a single word could mean totally different from the other dialects. I can contribute some slang languages from the Philippines as well. I hope you can help me add the word KUMAGS in wikipedia. Thank you very much! Deborah Steele --DebRigs (talk) 06:39, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

@DebRigs you are probably looking for our sister project, Tagalog Wiktionary. Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not do word definitions in a dictionary-style, as it is an encyclopedia. There may be word based articles here, ie, happy, but they go beyond dictionary definitions. Do note that Wiktionary may have their own criteria of inclusion. Unfortunately, I am beyond help in that area and you will have to explore the project on your own. – robertsky (talk) 06:49, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello!

I created a talk, please kindly check if that is acceptable way of sharing the word KUMAGS. Thanks! DebRigs DebRigs (talk) 07:52, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

@DebRigs Again, the right venue is Wiktionary, not on Wikipedia here. – robertsky (talk) 14:09, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, do we simply just do edit and not share original inputs?

Thanks! DebRigs --DebRigs (talk) 07:54, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Offensive username

Hi Robert. I happened to notice your rename of Blitzkriegswunder because I'd just left a message on their talk page. Do you not think the new username ("blitzkrieg miracle") is a WP:DISRUPTNAME? – Joe (talk) 10:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

@Joe Roe, exactly which type(s) of username indicated in WP:DISRUPTNAME? I am asking because I am more attuned to Asian sensitivities rather than western ones when it comes to WWII related terms. – robertsky (talk) 10:39, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

It is at least plausibly read as describing the Nazi invasions of Poland and Western Europe as "miracles", so "usernames that praise highly contentious people, groups [...], or events". – Joe (talk) 11:38, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
