Preload

Please remember to use the preload templates when creating new entries, to avoid some of the more common errors. --Connel MacKenzie 19:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Redirects.

Hi,

Just so you know, I've deleted the redirects you created, as Wiktionary doesn't generally use redirects.

Keep up the good work

Your entries are interesting. Keep up the good work. The edits are friendly, but possibly worthy of review for small improvements: use of templates, alt spellings, etymology. Occasionally wording. DCDuring TALK 15:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Ordering

Concerning your edit to missionary, the level four headers, such as derived terms and translations, need to be kept nested under their appropriate part of speech. So, in your edit, for example, you caused all the translations to be part of the adjective sense, when in fact they are part of the noun sense. Take a look at my subsequent edit if you like. Thanks.

Linking

Please do not add wikilinks to words in quotations or example sentences. Doing so distracts from the purpose of the sentence, which is to show usage of the entry word. --EncycloPetey 17:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Also, please be more careful in the way you alter or add to definitions. This change [1] to the deinifion of (deprecated template usage) equation removed the most important parts of the definition. The result was a definition of "mathematical sentence" rather than one for equation. --EncycloPetey 17:56, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

But if the statement includes a < or >, then it is no longer an equation; it's an inequality. --EncycloPetey 00:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

In past discussions, there's been agreement that example sentences should never have wikilinks (and I think that's codified somewhere), but with quotations, discussions have been iffier. (But I'd agree that we should be very cautious in wikilinking words in quotations, for the reasons you mention.) —Ruakh_TALK 19:07, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I was not aware of this, I put this type of thing in because I enjoy "surfing words". I write stories, and frequently will have wiki open as side window. Jumping from word to word helps me to overcome blocks. If this is still open to debate as a matter of policy, please point me in the right direction.TRKritzer 00:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
