This is a test of what i can say here. Ismenelik (talk) 03:03, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

I just looked over some of your recent edits, and it's looking good! Just a reminder about formatting etymologies, you want to use the template so that it produces a Wikipedia link for the language and categorises it properly (you can see the categories at the bottom of the page). See my changes here for example. Thanks! —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 03:39, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I looked over the link and seeing the difference between edits is helpful. I have another question: sometimes I look up a word and it exists in another language. How do I add that word to the list of kea lemmas? For instance, the word "abo", kea for the pronoun "you"; here's the link https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/abo

What do you think? -Ismenelik

Just look at bolsa again — you can edit the page and add in the Kabuverdianu section, but be sure that there is ---- in between each language section in the wikicode. Also, you can call me Metaknowledge here. :) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:16, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Got it. Learning curve. Let me give it a shot at adding to an existing word. -Ismenelik

Looks like you've got the hang of it. Wiktionary definitely has a learning curve, but I'm hoping it won't be too bad for you, and I'm always here to help out. A couple things: 1. I changed kriolu to only have one definition line, because it looked like all the definitions were just referring to the same thing. If they do mean different things (can they refer to people as well as the language?) then maybe clearer definitions are needed. 2. Your signature should link to your user page, like mine does, and also produce a timestamp. Are you typing it with our tildes (~~~~)? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:44, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

I have to learn about the tildes. About kriolu, it's a very important word. It's what we call ourselves, "Ami e kriolu.", our language "n ta papia kriolu", our culture "n gosta di morabeza kriolu". I think it needs to be separate lines. Also, the word "morabeza", it's one of those where there isn't really a one to one correlation to an english word. would love to get your help on that one too. ttys Ismenelik (talk) 17:50, 31 July 2018 (UTC)ismenelik

I tried to improve kriolu using the {{gloss}} template to give explanations. Did I get it right? If not, please fix the definitions! And morabeza looks like a hard one... you might just need to explain it instead of trying to find an English equivalent. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 22:10, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

I tried fixing nha by splitting it into two etymologies. Did I get it right? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:46, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. I gotta keep track of all the tips. Quick question, wanna do some live edits this weekend? My work email is on this page, contact me: http://www.beltiblibrary.org/about-us/staff-directory Ismenelik (talk) 03:01, 4 August 2018 (UTC)ismenelik
