Why are you deleting requests for definitions and posting fake definitions in their place?[edit]

For cat, would it be appropriate for me to add a translingual definition, "the word spelled C-A-T"? I assume that I'd be blocked for vandalism if I did. But that's exactly what you're doing. I don't understand this: aren't definitions supposed to be, well, definitions? kwami (talk) 00:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nice strawman, but I'm just reverting you from mass deleting definitions against consensus. If you have a problem with those definitions then make a post in beer parlor, instead of editing thousands of edits against the communities wishes. — Sameer مشارکت‌هابحث﴿ 00:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
But they're not definitions! They're simply descriptions or Unicode names. A definition actually defines something. Usage, pronunciation, transliteration value, something. kwami (talk) 00:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Kwami, that's a point you should make in a BP discussion post to gain consensus from other editors. You've gotten in trouble before for this exact action, and should know better. I would be more forgiving if this was a first, but you have shown no regard for how many editors were upset by your last mass-deletion spree. — Sameer مشارکت‌هابحث﴿ 00:17, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've started a BP discussion. If the consensus is that we should use fake definitions, I'll abide by it, even if it is embarrassing have people turn WK into a fake dictionary. kwami (talk) 00:34, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, I'm glad that you will be discussing the topic :). JSYK the issue the whole time was just the lack of consensus, nothing against you. — Sameer مشارکت‌هابحث﴿ 00:41, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's just frustrating to have to go through a month, or months, of discussion to get permission to delete what would be considered vandalism if added to the draft of any print dictionary. kwami (talk) 00:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
