Idioms
Greetings,

Please direct your complaints about rollbacks to me, since I was the one that rolled your edits back. No malice is intended by a rollback; the content added simply isn't appropriate for the English Wiktionary.

The English Wiktionary aims to provide a dictionary of all words in all languages. In order to prevent the repetition of certain types of abuse, we require that terms entered here actually be words in a language.

For idioms, we certainly accept a broad array of idiomatic terms. But the terms we do include are common, recognizable idioms. We also include foreign idioms with both a literal and figurative translation. But the ones you entered were purported to be English. I am pretty certain they are not.

If you wish to assert that they really are common idioms in the English language, simply find three citations from published books. (I like to search http://books.google.com/ to get started.) If you need help formatting citations you find, I'll be happy to help. However, if you cannot find printed citations for these idioms, kindly note that they do not meet our minimum criteria for inclusion and therefore should not be added to our List of idioms.

Thank you Connel, For taking the time to explain, I am going to take some time considering all that you said. I will  investigate before I make any edits. I havenet had enough succes yet so I’m either underconfident, and not trying or, fustrated and overconfident; making erros. I just have to adjust to that middle ground that come with experence and patients.Kisida 17:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
