Infinite edit

I would like to extend my block to infinite. I'm done with wiktionary for good. Zeggazo (talk) 08:01, 30 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Never mind. I've given you guys 3 and a half days to get rid of me but you did not take your opportunity. Zeggazo (talk) 14:59, 2 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Let me know when you change your mind again. Keφr 20:48, 3 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Just… everything (including edits from Pass a Method's previous account). I lost my patience when he created genital- and Category:English words prefixed with genital-. This user ought to be blocked indefinitely. The definitions are poor and some terms seem plain made-up. The citations that are there are not in chronological order, and their quality is also questionable: do we really need to accept citations of usage by someone who cannot even be bothered to spell "Obama" with a capital letter (2009 citation here)?

I've tidied a few, patrol-marked the good ones, and deleted some clear junk. Much more to do. Be especially suspicious regarding hyphens, since he never checked sources to see whether there was a hyphen in the word. (Google's snippets remove them at line endings.)

Usenet citations, no matter the ambient orthography, are fine as citations of words, at least words with acceptable spellings themselves. Fast typing without capitalization could be considered evidence of the near-colloquial nature the speech recorded in Usenet. DCDuring TALK 13:46, 30 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Not terribly relevant, but I can't think of any single-word compounds with 'genital' as the first word. Renard Migrant (talk) 15:23, 30 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Does this count as sockpuppetry now? Technically he switched accounts after his block expired. Keφr 14:40, 9 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
I want to stress the large number of bad sloppy entries and the high rate of ongoing creation. Equinox 22:17, 17 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
