User talk:Roofing

Hi! It's great to have someone adding common English words that we somehow lack. As a minor note, please place in the page when Wikipedia has an article about it (see Andromache, Angel Falls). I've given you the standard welcome below. Thanks!

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:


 * How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.
 * Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
 * If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide to Wikipedia users useful.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

Also, please add a BabelBox to your userpage so we can help you with the languages you'll be working in.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Again, welcome! --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:01, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks buddy. --Roofing (talk) 19:09, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Any time ;) --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:13, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Um, what happened at anyu? Be careful if you're copy-pasting. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:59, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I copy-pasted from mashua. I guess that's not cool, right? --Roofing (talk) 21:01, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I thought you were editing in Asturian. My mistake. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:01, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Nah, I stopped doing that. --Roofing (talk) 21:03, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * That's a pity. I mean, you actually seemed to know something about Asturian, unlike the whole Polish episode or that Norwegian fiasco. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:06, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know something about Asturian. I married an Asturian woman! However, you misunderstand my editing. I want to edit for as long as possible without getting blocked by SemperBlotto. He knows I edit in Asturian, so I have to change my editing patterns somewhat to avoid the block. That's why the Polish episode and Norwegian fiasco happened - so SB wouldn't recognize me at first. It sucks for me, but we've been playing this same incredibly lame game for 6 years. --Roofing (talk) 21:11, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * And I do actually know a few bits and bobs about Polish, I lived there for more than 6 months. As for Norwegian...I don't recall ever doing anything in Norwegian. --Roofing (talk) 21:13, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
