Smoken Flames
I mainly work in Spanish Wikipedia. My user page over there can be found @: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:Smoken_Flames .
However, I like to use Wiktionary to make vocabulary lists to later study the words, use them, and incorporate them in my normal English usage.
This list doesn't only include unknown "new" words to me, but also words that I already know and that I would like to use. It also includes words that I feel are phonetically pleasant.
Also, for a super fast dictionary, visit http://ninjawords.com/.
Some have helped me with the templates to make this list, which are the following:
"See {{top}}, {{top2}}, {{top3}}, and {{top4}}, all used with {{mid}} and {{bottom}}, and {{rel-top}} (2 column, with show-hide button), used with {{rel-mid}} and {{rel-bottom}}. DCDuring TALK 01:14, 17 October 2010 (UTC)"
