User talk:Jeandré~enwiktionary

I don't often visit wiktionary, so please leave a link at my English Wikipedia user talk page after editing this page.

Copyright?

Hi Jeandré, welcome to Wiktionary.

Thanks for your entry for "fumarole". It's good that you gave your sources, but please take care in where you take information from. The website dictionary.com is out of bounds for content, even etymologies, as it is copyright material. Many other online dictionaries are copyright too. Wikipedia is a safe source, though, as it comes under the GNU licence. I believe that quotations can be taken from anywhere, as this comes under fair use.

That said, I don't want to put you off contributing to Wiktionary - I hope you'll continue to do so.

Best regards — Paul G 09:41, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC) (Wiktionary sysop)

Translations that need to be checked.

Hi,

You might or might not already be aware that there is now a new system in place for marking translations that need to be checked (those that are suspected of being incorrect or those where it is not clear which sense(s) of a word the translations apply to). (See Wiktionary:Beer_parlour#Translations_to_be_checked_proposal here for the Beer parlour discussion on this topic.)

Translations to be checked are now categorised by language. For example, Category:Translations_to_be_checked_(French) contains a list of all words where French translations need to be checked. This is designed to make the checking of these translations easier to maintain and work with.

I'm contacting everyone who has either expressed an interest in working on translations or has indicated in Wiktionary:Babel that they have a good knowledge of a particular foreign language or languages. I

Would you be interested in helping out with the translations to be checked for Afrikaans? The list is currently not very long.

Thanks for your help you can provide.

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