AppleMacReporter~enwiktionary

Hi there, I noticed that you welcomed someone, having not yet been welcomed - and I thought that that shouldn't be allowed, so "Welcome to Wiktionary" I have transcluded the welcome template just for forms sake, and I hope to see you around (by the way the important ones are WT:ELE and WT:CFI; Wiktionary:Community portal answers some questions, other questions to my talk page :). Yours Conrad.Irwin 21:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! Conrad.Irwin 21:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

trans-top

When you insert the Template:termp template, the first parameter should be the definition for which the translation is given, not the word "Translation". This is important because a page may accumulate other definitions, for which there with be a separate box of translations. --EncycloPetey 16:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

username blocked template etc

This isn't needed, and a waste of time: the "User" pages will be routinely deleted anyway.

Noise like this isn't coddled, just shot. Robert Ullmann 03:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

OK. I'm alright with that. --MacReporter 03:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry if this sounded a bit abrupt; I just didn't want you wasting time. Noting the bad user names in the first place was good. ;-) Robert Ullmann 04:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

reverting warnings

Please don't revert when you have no idea what you're dealing with. --Spainiard 15:31, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

What you are dealing with is a "Wonderfool" sock. Robert Ullmann 16:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I know. I've also seen his past few socks too. --MacReporter 16:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe what you are doing with tagging the suspected sockpuppet in called "Feeding the trolls". --Feetborlz 20:00, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Whatmore, it'll take a hell of a long time to tag all of them. --Feetborlz 20:01, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called AppleMacReporter. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AppleMacReporter~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
