User talk:Brinerustle

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

Categories

A couple of notes: First, categories should never be redirects under any circumstances. Secondly, we frown on redirects in general here. I have deleted your two categories. Any questions, feel free to ask. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 08:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Have no idea what i did, or what you deleted, if you can fill me in, it would be educational. thanks.Brinerustle 13:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

You created Category:Professions as a redirect to Profession, and you created Category:Oils as a redirect to oils. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 19:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for cluing me in! boy do I feel stupid, haven't gotten the hang of what categories are or how they work yet. Ok, I will take more care in the future. Brinerustle 16:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
