Hi Pedant,

Welcome on Wiktionary! If you want to be messaged on Wikipedia, you will have to provide us with an easy link to your discuss page over there. You cannot delete a page yourself. You can put it on Requests for deletion though to notify a moderator. Polyglot 09:00, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Re-welcome
Since your last edit was around the time I made my first edit here, I'll add the standard welcome template here (as things have undoubtedly changed since then.)

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary!

If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own. Please take a moment to learn our basics before jumping in.

First, all articles should be in our standard format, even if they are not yet complete. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with it. You can use one of our pre-defined article templates by typing the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hitting 'Go'.

Notice that article titles are case-sensitive and are not capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized (Poland or January). Also, take a moment to familiarize yourself with our criteria for inclusion, since Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia. Don't go looking for a Village pump – we have a Beer parlour. Note that while Wikipedia likes redirects, Wiktionary deletes most redirects, (especially spelling variations) in favor of short entries. Please do not copy entries here from Wikipedia if they are in w:CAT:MtW; request the full history import instead, at WT:ID.

Finally, you can link Wikipedia pages, including your user page, using pagename,, or. Please do not create redirects to Wikipedia pages, though. They don't work.

We hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary and being a Wiktionarian. --Connel MacKenzie 02:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you too
One thing though - I don't recall ever seeing a barnstar here. It's been kind of nice not having that distraction get out of hand here, but I'm sure it will start happening eventually. --Connel MacKenzie 02:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
