User talk:CvL11c

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Thank you for your contributions. 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 make a hyperlink. The Wiktionary tutorial is a more wordy, multi-page document that helps you through those same formatting issues, and also touches on a couple of other issues relevant to editing.
• The document What Wiktionary is not may be of interest. In particular, if you've edited Wikipedia in the past, you should note that Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia and does not have Wikipedia-style page titles.
• How to start a new page is a technical guide to, well, how to start a new page. But you'll also want to look at our guidelines for how to format an entry (what goes where) and our criteria for inclusion (what can be included), which are our two main policy documents. (You can get a feel for how to format an entry by looking at existing entries.)
• The Sandbox is a safe place for testing markup.
• The FAQ has, of course, some frequently (and some infrequently) asked questions, and their answers.

I hope you enjoy editing here! By the way, you can sign your comments on talk (discussion) pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~, which automatically produces your name (or IP number if you're not signed in) and the current date and time. If you have any questions, then see the help pages, add a question to one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my talk page.—msh210℠ 21:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

group account

According to your user page this is an account held by an entire class. It may be better to create an account for each student so that each person's contributions are attributable individually, and so that other editors can communicate with individuals as necessary.—msh210℠ 16:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

You're right, it would be better, but my students aren't keen on doing that, I'm afraid. So we're working on synonyms and translations in class using a traditional blackboard, and I enter them here. It's mainly about showing them the limitations of traditional dictionaries, and how the reality of language use is much bigger than what's ever been recorded. CvL11c 12:25, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Your latest translations

That's nasty! You will have to get rid of those brackets and commas and put any gloss outside of the curly brackets. SemperBlotto 11:32, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. Can you do one for me? CvL11c 12:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
