User talk:Marshman~enwiktionary

Hi Marshman,

It would be great if you could do more than leave them in the transwiki namespace. If you could learn how we format the entries, then your contribution would be so much greater. It is not hard and we will give you guidance as you get along. Looking forward to working with you. Polyglot 19:35, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I would rather get them up and going at Wiktionary than leave them for others to contend with.  My first one today is glume. Maybe you can look at it and fix it up as an example for me.  I used the noun template, so I've figured out that much. Thanks - Marshman 19:45, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Red links are not somehow evil. When the entry will get created, it will be possible to find which pages link to it by using 'What links here'. The result is an interwoven web of relations between words. As long as the link is red, people can see it still needs to be started. So having a link that is not linking to an actual page yet is no big deal and I think it is beneficial. The content I would put there is this:

Noun
glumes pl


 * 1) plural of glume

It could also have a pronunciation, hyphenation, etc. and sometimes even meanings the singular form doesn't have.

But for the moment, I would just leave it blank. Polyglot 04:38, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Glad you left that final option! I note that in some words the plural just links back to the singular definition page - Marshman 04:55, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, I hate that. It's a different form of the term, with different properties, so it should be entitled to its own entry. Anyway, all this is just my opinion. Other contributors might feel different about it. For instance I often see that the meaning that only the plural form has, is added to the definitions of the singular form.

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 Marshman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Marshman~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 23:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
