User talk:Brando130~enwiktionary

 * Etymologies are not appropriate as definitions. The definition should simply state the meaning of the word.  The encyclopedic content you have added is the history of the name and various French families, which doe snot pertain to the word as used in English. --EncycloPetey 19:40, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK I think I understand. Rather than continue to submit revisions to be reverted, I still need to ask how best to format the fact that Drew is not always derived from Andrew. Is the following acceptable?


 * derived from Germanic Drogo, through French variants Drogon, Dreus, Drues, Dreux. It is a cognate of the English given names Drieu, Drue


 * Or do the derivations need to go in a separate etymology section? Brando130 19:55, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * You're still including the etymology and foreign language equivalents in the definition. Wiktionary formatting is strict to keep particular kinds of information in predictable locations.  Look at ovatam for a model of how the page ought to be organized.  Since there are two etymologies, there ought to be two Etymology sections, each with definitions under them.  This sort of page restructuring happens from time to time when an additional etymology is added.  You don't need to worry about including pronunciations.  I can help with that afterwards. --EncycloPetey 20:00, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I have reformatted the info. Please, both of you, take a look at the entry and see if it is acceptable.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 20:23, 26 September 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 Brando130. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Brando130~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 23:41, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
