津

This is a revision undeletion request. I don't think just made by a blocked user is a reason for revision deletion as 1. I don't know how the edit is vandalism per se and 2. I don't think this can not be kept in page history (compare criteria for revision deletion in Wikipedia).

Note: If the username is improper, only the username should be deleted, not the whole edit.--Zcreator alt (talk) 12:46, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

@Zcreator alt: These edits were made by a problematic user who is evading blocks and abusing multiple accounts. Deleting these revisions, no matter what they were, is to ensure that we are not allowing them to make any edits. Perhaps @Wyang should have been more transparent in the revision deletion summary. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 20:13, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

In Wikipedia edits evading blocks are only reverted and not revision deleted (unless reverting or ignoring are insufficient to handle, such as the version is insulting, degrading, offensive or purely disruptive).--Zcreator alt (talk) 20:18, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Sure, but this is Wiktionary. We don't have a lot of manpower, especially in foreign languages that this banned user edits in. Wyang (talk) 03:36, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

@Geographyinitiative: Apparently in Beijing dialect, it can be read as jīn or jīng ([1]). — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 06:14, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Wow! Well, given what you said, should we add the information about the pronunciation with the iŋ final to this page? Currently under "Dialectal data▼" Wiktionary only has "Mandarin Beijing /t͡ɕin⁵⁵/". Should the variant with the iŋ final be added there? --Geographyinitiative (talk) 02:02, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
