redrum[edit]

Murder. Equinox ◑ 00:27, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will be surprised if I can't also find a few uses of a verb re+drum; I'm about to go look... - -sche (discuss) 00:23, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I found "re+drum", I didn't find "murder". I tried phrases like "commit redrum", "is redrum". - -sche (discuss) 07:27, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

cross-wikti request[edit]

I'd like to ask your help to check these languages. A user that has been blocked at nl.wikt (adding incorrect stuff) has decided to continue at lb.wikt. He/she is mostly adding translations in a wide variety of languages, apparently using machine translations, copy-pasting from Wikipedia, and guessing... :( Curious 08:24, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So we know which entries to help check: what username(s)? It might be easier for us to go through their Special:Contributions than to go through that category. Do you have an admin on lb.Wikt who can block the user? I see Briséis, but Briséis seems to have been inactive since 2006. - -sche (discuss) 09:19, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Global sysops can block on lb.wikt, which includes me. Who is that user? -- Liliana • 13:44, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Right now, it is user 81.164.36.115, but his/her IP changes periodically. These are all the same user:
  • 81.164.36.115
  • 81.164.38.34
  • 78.20.201.99
  • 78.20.198.19
  • 94.226.99.140
  • 94.224.7.202
  • 94.226.96.186
  • 94.226.98.252
  • 78.20.201.224
  • 78.20.198.62
  • 78.20.192.159
  • 78.20.197.252
  • 78.20.196.167
  • 78.20.193.63
  • 78.20.192.35
  • 78.20.197.170
  • 78.20.193.203
Just examples, there are probably a lot more IP's that belong to this user. I can't say all his edits are wrong, he has good edits too, but overall his edits contain a lot of errors. He has no idea about the languages he's working on, he's just copy-pasting and using machine translations. Curious 20:35, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Because he's translating these languages into Limburgish, I don't know if any of us could do any better than him at checking his translations (because we could only use the same machines to translate out of Limburgish, to see what he was saying the English/German/etc words meant)... :/ - -sche (discuss) 04:22, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
