Thanks for reporting this issue. Could you provide more details about exactly what errors you believe there are with each entry?

For some, I can't see what the issue is. For example, I don't see any issue with 'dry season' or 'inflammatory bowel disease'.

For some, I think there may not be an issue, e.g., other dictionaries support comeupance as an alternative spelling. 'Talkily' is very non-standard, but it is attested

This are the changes I can figure out:

  • nitro group: Definition refers to NO3, but nitros are NO2 [change definition]
  • actinon: Unusual definition, but Wiktionary agrees it is a dated term. [Add synset for MFS definition of 'actinon']
  • logistician: A logistician is an expert in logistics not logic [new synset]
  • pre-valentines day: change member to 'pre-Valentine's day'
  • connubial=connubially?: Add member connubially attested in MW
  • dental consonant!=alveolar consonant: Split synset
  • ague[acute]: Change member to 'aigu'
  • turbojet!=fanjet: Split synset
  • epidemic hysertia: Change member 'epidemic hysteria'
  • estraterrestrial body: Change member 'extraterrestrial body'
  • totalitation regime: Change member 'totalitarian regime'
  • pupet regime: Change member 'puppet regime'
  • characterisic function: Change member 'characteristic function'
  • defensive attribition: Change member 'defensive attribution'
  • arteria ileum: Change member 'arteria ilealis' source
  • entric: Remove member

pre-valentines also has wrong date
dry season says "a yearly period of rainfall in the tropics"
daily dew seems unknown in that sense
IBD refers specifically to chronic autoimmune, not really synonym of colitis

(entries in Wiktionary quite possibly originate back to wordnet?)

I found all these by batch auto-checking with Claude, so you can likely also get explanations from ChatGPT/Claude (and many, many more minor typos/unclear/missing sense etc)...)

In general, I don't find that Wiktionary derives much of its information from WordNet. Here is another attestation for comeupance: https://www.etymonline.com/word/comeuppance

annualry should be annulary
arteria glutes I think is intended to be arteria glutea
I think the standard term is oligodontia

For dry season, I'd have thought "one of the two seasons in tropical climates, a yearly period of dryness in the tropics" might be better...

Yep

arteria glutes I think is intended to be arteria glutea

Okay

I think the standard term is oligodontia

I don't think it is, we have this already. Oligodendroglia is the standard term, oligodendria is a rare alternative.

For dry season, I'd have thought "one of the two seasons in tropical climates, a yearly period of dryness in the tropics" might be better...

I see the issue now :)
