User talk:Walton One~enwiktionary

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * Wiktionary Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to start a page
 * Our format guidelines (nicknamed "ELE")
 * Criteria for inclusion (nicknamed "CFI")
 * Wiktionary Sandbox (a safe place for testing syntax)
 * What Wiktionary is not
 * FAQ

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: ~, which automatically produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --EncycloPetey 19:50, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

One additional note. Unlike Wikipedia, we do not place ===References=== and level 2; that level is reserved only for language names. All other headers in use must be at level 3 or deeper. --EncycloPetey 19:50, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You may find it helpful to use listen and parrot as format models for fully-developed articles. I've been working with a number of other contributors to turn these into such models.  It often helps more to have a specific example to follow rather than abstarct instructions.  --EncycloPetey 19:19, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
We don't do userboxes here. Babel templates for living languages (only) are OK. --Connel MacKenzie 17:51, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Entry format
Please note three changes I've made to sergeants major to bring it into format compliance with WT:ELE. --EncycloPetey 20:46, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Added an inflection line after the part of speech section header.  This may look redundant for this entry, but that's only true for some words.  It is a requirement that all entries have them.
 * 2) The use of a # at the start of the definition line.
 * 3) Removal of the category; we don't put plurals and inflected forms into categories unless they have a unique definition in their own right (like scissors).


 * When editors provide tips like this, it's a sign that you're doing good work and we hope to see more and better entries.  Please consider the advice as a complement rather than a rebuke. --EncycloPetey 20:49, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The typical way we deal with a regional usage of a term is to use or  at the start of a definition line to mark the definition as specific to one region.  If there is a military term that applies only in the UK and Singapore, you can extend this by using  .  The  template allows for the merging of several regional markers as well as the topical one for Category:Military (so you don't have to add the category at the bottom). --EncycloPetey 21:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

admiral of the blue
Being as military ranks are your area of expertise, and being as this idiom is apparently derived thence, you may want to help out with this one (which I’ve sent to RFV), as well as adding the properly-capitalised rank, Admiral of the Blue. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 17:36, 12 September 2007 (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 Walton One. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Walton One~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 00:11, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
