User talk:Apple1976~enwiktionary
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary!
If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own. Please take a moment to learn our basics before jumping in.
First, all articles should be in our standard format, even if they are not yet complete. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with it. You can use one of our pre-defined article templates by typing the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hitting 'Go'.
Notice that article titles are case-sensitive and are not capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized (Poland or January). Also, take a moment to familiarize yourself with our criteria for inclusion, since Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia. Don't go looking for a Village pump – we have a Beer parlour. Note that while Wikipedia likes redirects, Wiktionary deletes most redirects, (especially spelling variations) in favor of short entries. Please do not copy entries here from Wikipedia if they are in w:CAT:MtW, they are moved by bot, and will appear presently in the Transwiki: namespace.
| Special note to Wikipedia Administrators: |

| Please remember that you are a Wiktionary newbie for the next month or so. There are very distinct policy differences here, that are not set-in-stone, as they are on Wikipedia. Do not presume to correct policy here, without an extended WT:BP discussion and a one-month (or longer) WT:VOTE. Otherwise you very likely will be blocked, like many other Wikipedia admins. Remember that your role on Wikipedia causes (perhaps unfair) subconscious expectations regarding your conduct here. Being Bold with Wiktionary policy pages (which usually have much greater acceptance than indicated) is highly discouraged. |
Finally, you can link Wikipedia pages, including your user page, using [[w:pagename]], {{wikipedia}}, or {{wikipedia|pagename}}. Please do not create redirects to Wikipedia pages, though. They don't work.
We hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary and being a Wiktionarian.
Welcome, since no one seems to have gotten to you yet! I was wondering what character set I should get to be able to render the entries you are adding most recently, I can see most Han and Mandarin characters, but your's are ? for me. Thanks! - [The]DaveRoss 22:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello, while I applaud your efforts towards NPOV, the word means 'a piece of skin which covers', not 'a piece of skin which is'. Perhaps the part which is unclear is the 'tip', which should probably be changed to 'glans penis' or similar for clarity. To say one or the other is the official 'tip' is a bit silly. I should also note that your edit summaries are becoming inflammatory for no reason I can discover, we are all here to help, let's keep the faith good!

Your account will be renamed[edit]
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 Apple1976. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Apple1976~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
