User talk:Eal

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:


 * How to edit a page 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.
 * Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including, there is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Template:infl
This template can be used to automatically generate the inflection line and categorize entries by language and part of speech. For example, will put the entry in the Category:West Frisian proper nouns. For common nouns, the gender can be included, as for :. --EncycloPetey 23:12, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Please include an inflection line on every entry. This is part of our minimum format requirements. --EncycloPetey 23:27, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Reminder again: Please include an inflection line after the part of speech header. This is a requirement for every entry on Wiktionary. --EncycloPetey 22:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

tr=
Hello. You can add transliration like this. It's better from the point of view of formatting. --Vahagn Petrosyan 04:54, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Us
That's a very good question. I'd suggest starting a section about the issue in general in the Beer Parlour. I don't think this sort of issue has ever come up before. --EncycloPetey 05:07, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Fixes to your article
Hi there Eal. I did a few fixes of your article here. I hope you don't mind. Razorflame 19:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Fuortrinbultsje
I saw you've created this West Frisian entry fuortrinbultsje. From your talk page I inferred that you are from Canada and that your first language is English, not Frisian. I also assume that you don't live nor ever have lived in Frisia. The West Frisian word for airport is fleanfjild and most certainly not fuortrinbultsje. To me this word looks like to be coined up just for the fun of having a humorous word, such as stokslobberje or donderdelding. This word is not used by anyone in Frisia and it's not in any serious dictionary. On the internet it can only be found on dubious translation websites which probably base their information on this specific Wiktionary entry. I think that this entry is a disgrace to the West Frisian language on Wiktionary and I will therefore try to get it removed as soon as possible. Regards --SK-luuut (talk) 15:32, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
