haluha
I'm sorry but Wiktionary does not include protologisms (see the above link concerning "Criteria for Inclusion"). However, it may interest you to know that haluha is actually a Tetum word which means "forget," and has been changed to reflect this. If you can find cites for your definition (again, see the CFI link), then you may re-enter it. If you can't, please don't. Any questions, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 02:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

..with all respect Atelaes, but I cant believe you want me to think "Haluha" means "Forget" thats waaay out :)

I might think theres something old or wrong with that Tentum you refered to, because.. when I type this in Google : Define Haluha then it comes out with a suggestion: Did you mean Define Aloha? (and that it self should somehow convince you)

Theres a link here that I like maybe you would accept me to use a similar one in here: http://www.bansa.org/dictionaries/tgl/?dict_lang=tgl&type=search&data=haluha

I hope we can come to some sort of agreement that the word Haluha is often used as in a happy greeting, something I think a lot people really would understand and accept as a defination.

I can understand the way it was written by me in first place, it could relate to protologisms, but I thought people would adjust it if they were reading it like that.

Anyway thanks for letting me know.. and please if you can accept the above then let me try add it again - thanks :)

 * So I've done some double-checking and "haluha" is definitely a Tetum word. here's a link to a Tetum-English dictionary.  As for your link to the Tagalog dictionary at bansa.org, I find it somewhat suspect because of the fact that it's an editable dictionary (like Wiktionary) and the definition it currently contains is identical to the definition you put in the Wikipedia article (which has since been deleted, but was cached by Google).  I checked three other Tagalog dictionaries, and none of them reflected this usage.  Just because haluha is similar in sound and spelling to aloha (which is prompting Google to suggest it as an alternate), does not mean that any entry should reflect this similarity.  Thus, I am going to stick by the entry's current state.  If you can prove that haluha means something besides the current Tetum definition, then you'll have to prove it.  If you can't find veritable sources, I suggest you leave it alone.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 18:14, 24 February 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 Haluha. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Haluha~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 23:49, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
