User talk:Az~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
• Community Portal
• Entry layout explained
• Criteria for inclusion
• FAQ
• How to edit a page
• How to start a page
• Wiktionary Sandbox (a safe place for testing syntax)

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 the beer parlour or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but on Wiktionary, Greek is actually shorthand for modern Greek, whereas if you're referring to something from the Classical/Koine region, that's under Ancient Greek. We have a separate template for this for etymologies {AGr.} instead of {Gr.}. I see you have a talent for etymologies, which is excellent in that we are sorely lacking in them. If you like, you could also take a look at Category:Ancient Greek language or Index:Ancient Greek to see what we have thus far. Again, any questions or comments (or rants), feel free to drop a line on my talk page. Cerealkiller13 01:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Etymology format

While the specifics vary from user to user, we prefer to have transcriptions of spelling insde parentheses and translations of meaning inside quotes. Thus:

Greek βακτήριον (bakterion), "small staff".

or

Greek βακτήριον (bakterion), "small staff".

instead of

Greek βακτήριον bakterion, "small staff".

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 Az. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Az~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
