User talk:Maria.Sion/Archive/First 2 weeks of hard work

Can you just stick to one sentence with your citations, unless it's completely opaque. Some of the ones you've been adding are a bit over-long. Ƿidsiþ 13:25, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure can. One or two quotes were in two sentences, because otherwise they lacked sufficient context. --Maria.Sion (talk) 13:27, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

York ham
Hi there again. Proper York ham is a proper ham that is sliced on the bone as you buy it. It looks like it might be raw (my mum used to cook it) but is eaten on a plate with potatoes, veg and a sauce. I think that a product of the same name is available presliced in supermarkets and can go into sarnies - it looks like it has been cooked. SemperBlotto (talk) 17:47, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I buy the presliced stuff from Sainsbury's sometimes. I think it's called wafer thin ham there. The jamón York in Spanish supermarkets is nicer than the Sainsbury's stuff, any day of the week. --Maria.Sion (talk) 17:50, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

dole out
Thanks for your pointing out the poor quality of the entry. In the future you can use (request for cleanup) for such entries. You can also use to mark a specific definition. Best of all, as you come to understand our approach, is to make the changes yourself, though you can expect corrections, of course. DCDuring TALK 13:04, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the positive and useful message. It's messages like these that would encourage potential new users to stick around. Much better than some other welcome messages I've seen. --Maria.Sion (talk) 13:42, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * And you must have seen quite a few of them by now. Ƿidsiþ 15:07, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Fooled again. DCDuring TALK 18:15, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not here to fool, just to make a dictionary slightly better than it was before. --Maria.Sion (talk) 18:16, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

raffut
Also some sort of Rugby tackle. Any ideas how to translate? SemperBlotto (talk) 10:58, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * seen some videos of raffuts... maybe a fend? --Maria.Sion (talk) 11:04, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think stiff-arm fend is the term --Maria.Sion (talk) 11:04, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's it. --Maria.Sion (talk) 11:05, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
