I've edited neverland for formatting, so you can check the difference between our edits to see what I did:, and thankyou for a fantastic first edit! Hope to see you here again. --Wytukaze 00:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Darling, darling and other Peter Pan stuff
Please remember that this is a dictionary and not an encyclopaedia. Some Literary reference is made where it is special note, however, your edits to Darling and darling will not meet the Criteria for Inclusion WT:CFI here.

Also your entry in dear was not needed as there was already noun sense in that article. The inclusion of Category:Terms of endearment would have been enough.

On the entry little one please have a look at my changes to your format of the entry. Plus look at you other recent contribs to see if any one else has offered you any further formatting help. See WT:ELE for more info.

Good luck and enjoy contributing.--Williamsayers79 09:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Hi! I've seen you on Wikipedia too! Cheers, JetLover 23:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

silat
Hi, sorry for the confusion. If you think that Silat is an English word that meets our criteria for inclusion, specifically being used without italics in at least three durably archived sources, please feel free to add it. It seemed to me, from searching Google Books and other sources, that while the Malaysian noun silat, meaning "self-defense," certainly meets our criteria, the proper noun Silat does not; that was why I moved the article and altered the definition. But I may well have been wrong. Cheers, -- Visviva 01:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

You could have asked me permission before you edited it. Angie Y. 01:32, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * You could have read the welcome message above, before getting too far along. You own no article here.  --Connel MacKenzie 01:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but that doesn't mean you can alter it without my say-so. I contributed in my own way. Look up autism and you'll see what I mean. Angie Y. 02:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Your contribution was almost (if not entirely) worthless to this dictionary. Yes, under the terms of the GFDL, anyone here can alter it in any way that they like.  You own that article no more than I do - which is to say, not at all.


 * Please don't make me block you. Cease and desist with your revert warring.  The content you are adding is not welcome here.  --Connel MacKenzie 02:56, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Angie. Sorry you had a difficult experience with some of your first edits here. Your first edit to silat would have been nearly perfect if silat had been naturalized into English like some similar words (e.g. karate). As Visviva explained above, though, silat has not yet become an English word. If it's not yet clear, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Also, please know that you are welcome here, but attitudes of article ownership are not (as Connel noted with his somewhat sharper tone). Does that make sense? Rod (A. Smith) 21:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Kinda. But I'm still frightened. Angie Y. 21:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

sissi
Hi Angie Y., Sorry to be yet another niggler, but, The reason that Sissi was removed from the entry at sissi is because we try and split words by uppercase and lowercase. This was the topic of long debate from before my time here, but it does make sense after a fashion. This is fine normally, because we have links between the two, but when one of the entries doesn't exist, you get pushed towards the wrong one, and so it can be hard to edit the right one. In future, to edit Sissi you have to click edit on sissi and then change the address bar so that it has Sissi in it instead. I hope that was clear - it didn't sound it! See you around, Conrad.Irwin 01:33, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Incredible Hulk
Hi, Angie. When you made this edit, you removed an RFV tag. That tag is part of an important process here at the English Wiktionary. The page WT:RFV has details on that process. I've restored that tag. Let me know if that's confusing or if you have any questions. Rod (A. Smith) 00:44, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking it's both a pejorative and slang. Angie Y. 13:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I saw your comment to that effect in your edit summary. The sense is already marked as pejorative and slang. Does it look to you like it says "or"? Anyway, the RFV tag is completely separate from whether it is slang. It means that somebody questions whether significant numbers of people use the phrase "Incredible Hulk" to mean what the definition says. If they do, hopefully somebody will address the RFV by adding three relevant quotations, as explained in WT:RFV. Rod (A. Smith) 15:05, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

laddie
Please do not categorize a word in a language for which it has no entry in that language. If the entry for laddie: had a Scots language section with a noun definition, then it would be categorized in Category:Scots nouns. However, the current entry has only an English language section, and so should not be categorized as "Scots". --EncycloPetey 02:56, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, it does sound Scots. Lassie is the Scots word for a girl. Angie Y. 15:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

-let words
Hi. Note what I changed in your entry hoglet, and see Category:English_words_suffixed_with_-let. That category is filled automatically. Equinox ◑ 20:26, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
