Thread:User talk:Geofferybard/Netiquette

You seem to be a young adult who has not yet learned the customs of Internet discussion. Would you care to read some of the netiquette guidelines available on the Internet? (Admittedly, I do not know which one to recommend.) Some points: (a) use short discussion titles; (b) avoid boldface, with some exceptions; (c) avoid capital letters (LIKE THIS); (d) avoid writing long contributions to discussions on a project on which you are new; first look around and learn how things are being done here; (e) avoid talking about people, and talk about the subject matter instead. Sticking to these and similar points should make it easier for you to contribute to Wiktionary.

On another note, Wikionary is a descriptivist dictionary. It describes how language is actually used rather than prescribing how it ought to be used. You are entitled to not liking various words or their forms, but your disliking them has nothing to do with what should be documented in Wiktionary.

On yet another note, "show me the policy" is sometimes the right request to be done, but more often than not it is pretty meaningless. As a newcomer to a project, you should try to figure out common practices rather than asking for formal policies that codify these practices. The most important Wiktionary policies are WT:CFI and WT:ELE, in case you are looking for policies, but many practices remain uncodified, and some points from the mentioned policies suffer from the lack of consensual support, so are in fact invalid.
