I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk (discussion) and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;, which automatically produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the beer parlour or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Dijan 21:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Conjugation templates
Hi again! I hope that this conjugation and declension category page can be of some help to you: Conjugation and declension templates. There are also some language templates that have not been placed into this category yet. If this category is not helpful to you, you might want to try doing a search for them. One of the terms that you can use to do a search is "conj". Good luck. --Dijan 06:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)


 * You might also want to look at Inflection templates. --Dijan 06:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the work you're doing on pronunciations. I've reinstated and fixed the SAMPA at intermittent - where the pronunciation includes an = sign you need to prefix it with 1= (or 2= for a second pronunciation, etc), i.e. . This is because in template syntax everything between a | and = is treated as the name of a parameter. If there is no equals signs, it parses the parameters in the specified order, the 1= is therefore telling it to parse everything up to | or }} (whichever comes first) as the content of the first parameter, rather than treating t/ as the content of an undefined parameter named /%Int3:(r)"mItn. (compare ). Thryduulf 19:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

photo
I've never heard photo pronounced stateside. Did you mean perhaps ?&mdash;msh210 &#x2120; 19:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm currently reading the recent vote on phonemic/phonetic transcription of for English words, and trying to decide how best to transcribe things like photo in light of that. Because you're right that  would be the correct phonetic transcription (you'd have to be real stodgy to say ), I was shooting for a phonemic transcription. It's just questionable how far to take that, because to be purely phonemic, it would be unnecessary to distinguish between RP and US pronunciations in a lot of cases (including photo).

 * I think the best rule of thumb for pronunciations is to do the most precise transcription which would apply to the majority of American speakers. If I'm not mistaken, using the flap instead of the full stop would apply to most American speakers (and I would assume the Brits as well), and should thus be used.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 22:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Probably not the Brits, in this case. While I like that idea, it still doesn't solve the phonemic/phonetic transcription problem. Currently, almost all the pronunciations I've run into are enclosed in slashes, implying a phonemic transcription. But I don't think we want a true phonemic transcription. At least, the Pronunciation page isn't too clear on what should/shouldn't be used, and after reading that vs.  vote, doesn't seem like the community is either. I guess I'll change photo, but this needs to get cleared up a bit. Torgo 22:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

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 Torgo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Torgo~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 00:20, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
