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 one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!
Thanks for the improvement of dictatorship. Your definition was a distinct improvement. However, in the future, you may want to consider linking a few words within the definition. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 06:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, there are plenty of words on Wiktionary whose definitions could use some clarification, conciseness, etc. (and we are generally short on people who have the talent and ambition to make those much needed improvements). A couple notes: First, as we are a smaller community than Wikipedia, policy is not always on the policy pages. As a smaller group we retain the ability to simply keep in communication with each other on how we are doing things. Rest assured that if you're doing something wrong, someone will let you know. :-) Also, try and remember to sign your comments with the four tildes ~~~~. Happy hunting. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- You got it. I'll make an effort to remember that. Thanks again.

- A couple of comments on antemortem. First, remember that every def should have the inflection line immediately below the POS header. It's generally best to use the templates like
{{en-noun}}
,{{en-adj}}
, but it's not necessary. Also, related terms should be at L4 instead of L3. I've made the appropriate changes. Other than that, it looked excellent. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

- Hey, don't worry about it. We have a complex set of formatting rules. However, we'd rather have you charge into it and learn as you go than get overwhelmed with all of our rules and not do anything. So, if you want to add words, but aren't sure about your understanding of format, just go ahead anyway. There are plenty of people to clean up after you. Just be prepared for people to tell you what you're doing wrong. :) -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:38, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- After criticizing you so often, I just thought I'd take a sec to note that doited is basically perfect. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 08:36, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
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 Macai. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Macai~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
