It's an impostor, he's been trying to impersonate me here as well.--
You blocked me on wiktionary
I do not understand why you think I am a troll. I have tried to fight vandalism, not cause it. Can you please unblock me.--
Safari
Regarding your recent edit to Safari, if you have a better understanding of the Arabic source, that is great, but the New Oxford American Dictionary — the cited reference — definitely has "to travel" as the Arabic meaning. Do you have a reference you can contribute? --Charles Gaudette 21:41, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, the Arabic safara is (to) travel (as the entry says). The Swahili safari is journey (noun), not (verb) to travel; and the English safari is (noun) journey/trip to see wild animals. As to a reference, the one given is fine for the Arabic I think. As to the Swahili, I could look it up, but it is an everyday word ... Robert Ullmann 23:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Multiplex
Actually, it has been in use on established roadfan sites (not just fan forum discussions) for a good deal longer than 1-2 years, I think. Daniel Case 14:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm working on that right now. Daniel Case 14:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- OK, I have four, the oldest being from misc.transport.road in 1997. Are they good?
I wouldn't be writing print dictionaries and just saying, please include this. I know they need citations; I don't know if Internet ones are acceptable but I'd like to think they are. Daniel Case 15:16, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- We're probably looking for at least one independent print citation. The thing about usenet is that they are interesting, especially if they predate print citations, but do not in themselves attest the word. We'll see. It still isn't going to change the usage in the pedia; multiplex is still a neo, and concurrency is the standard term (e.g. used by various DOTs, etc.) Thanks for the citations.

The -polises -poleis issue
Hi there. Thanks for your comment on my talk page. I agree that
- There has already been a long discussion of this idiocy on the wikt. It is actually very sad; someone who could be a very valuable contributor is instead utterly determined to be an annoying troll. Robert Ullmann 21:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- For the record, Doremítzwr has learned how to be constructive on the en.wikt, and is (as I thought might be) a valuable contributor. Robert Ullmann (talk) 05:11, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
XiTsonga Witionary (ts.wiktionary)
Hello Robert,
Your name was given to me by Jako Olivier of salanguages.com. He is a ts.wiktionary user and had input some of the initial words into the ts.witionary. I contacted him to get some background info as to the Xitsonga users and to ask some initial questions as to the community. The objective of my query is quite simple. My father is Marius Chapatte (see ts.wiktionary user). He has put together a Xitsonga - English dictionary of some 21'000 words and at 83 has decided it was time to make this work available to a maximum amount of people. He has started to input the data into ts.wiktionary. But as you can imagine this is a time consuming process. His initial work was done in MSWord, and I have extracted all the words into an msaccess database and created a field with the script that needs to be input into wiktionary. Thios greatly simplifies the data entry, but its still a very slow process. I have read the documentation regarding the creation of a Wiktionary BOT but would like to start an official request and am not sure where to start. There is also probably some need to expand on the Xitsonga community etc on ts.wiktionary in order to simplify the work others my bring in the process of improving on my father's initial input.
Your comments, suggestions would be appreciated.

Han characters
This appears to be the best way for me to get in touch with you; I saw your contributions to the various Han character pages, and I was wondering if you could point me to a source for more of the "Stroke order" animated images you've supplied. I'm looking for some additional (somewhat basic) words and haven't had much success finding them online. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. 70.118.64.184 (talk) 18:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Well, my talk page on the Wiktionary is better, but this will do fine ... see commons:Category:CJK stroke order which should lead you to what you want; all of the images we use (of several different types) come from the Wikimedia Commons. Robert Ullmann (talk) 05:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Wow, you're the flavour of the week...
Seems our "friend" has a new target... consider yourself honoured! Check out this post from "Tony", this post from the now-banned "The Man", and the post from "Adam, Waukeshau, North". (I suppose I'm jealous - does this mean I'm old news?) Thanks for the laugh. --Ckatzchatspy 06:39, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Recent Village pump (technical) thread
Hi. Thanks for your recent suggestion here; I find, though, that I'm unable to view wikt:Mediawiki:monobook.js's source, so would be very grateful if you could paste the relevant extract from it in the Village pump (technical) thread. Sardanaphalus (talk) 21:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

"open proxy" block?
Technical request:
This is the IP address of a proxy operated by an ISP in Kenya. It is not (or should not be!) an open proxy. I access it from 212.22.182.82 (fixed IP, in fact a premises NAT box).
What is going on? It shouldn't have triggered anything (and hasn't previously over several years). Robert Ullmann (talk) 22:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
And if set in February (as block log says) why do I hit it now? Robert Ullmann (talk) 23:02, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

If anyone has this page watchlisted...
I was wandering around and stumbled on this page. I noticed that the link to this man's obituary was broken. Wiktionary links to this one. Or could someone perhaps find a working link to the one currently referenced? —
