References section
Hello there, normally the References section of an article is a level 3 or 4 header (depending on which part of speach it is relevant to). Hope you have fun adding references. Regards, --Williamsayers79 07:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

References at Tub frock
Hey there,

Thanks for your recent contributions to Tub frock. While they're of course welcome, I just thought I should let you know that that article is in danger of being deleted for lack of evidence that the term meets our criteria for inclusion; so, your time might be better spent finding such evidence. If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to ask them. Again, thanks.

 * Regarding your references: linguists (language scientists) distinguish between mentions of a term (e.g. "The noun 'tub frock' refers to a machine-washable dress") and uses of a term (e.g. "That's a beautiful tub frock you're wearing!"). When it comes to verifying that word meets our criteria for inclusion, we at Wiktionary only care about durably archived uses — not mentions. (Now, once we've recorded enough uses to confirm that the term merits inclusion here, mentions can be helpful for confirming that word does mean what we say it means.) Confusingly, we generally refer to permissible uses as "cites", even though the word "cite" should ordinarily refer to a mention rather than to a use. Quotations describes the format for providing such cites. —RuakhTALK 02:01, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I saw your comment on my talk-page. While I'm not the administrator who deleted the entry, I support his action; the word was listed at Requests for verification for a long time without being verified by Wiktionary's standards. (Please see Criteria for inclusion and Quotations for guidance on verifying entries.) If you'd like to cite the entry properly, let me know and I can undelete it for you, but once I've done so, there's really only so long it can sit uncited before I or another administrator will just re-delete it. —RuakhTALK 02:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
