User talk:Nopetro

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• How to edit a page 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.
• Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
• Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
• The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
• We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Again, welcome!

By the way, we don't use redirects very much around here, so sloshy should get its own separate entry. L☺g☺maniac chat? 13:35, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

From where (public domain) can I obtain the definition?. Regards. --Nopetro 14:24, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

There are many free dictionaries online. Perhaps you may want to google the word and see what comes up. Just don't copy the definitions verbatim from any other copyrighted source! :) L☺g☺maniac chat? 15:26, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Well done. Instead of delete, you have created a good definition page. Thanks. --Nopetro 07:21, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

redirects

The English Wiktionary does not use redirects to join alternative forms or misspellings or between upper and lower-case forms of words. This is because we exist to document the language, and thus the spelling should be included as an entry in its own right. {{alternative spelling of}} and {{misspelling of}} exist to facilitate the creation of entries for such spellings. To learn more about editing Wiktionary please read Help:How to edit a page or nose around in the community portal. Thank you. Conrad.Irwin 13:31, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Can you include an example?. Thanks in advance.--Nopetro 14:19, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

P/N

I thought that was p-n (as in p-n junction). SemperBlotto 18:57, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

• It has both spellings. Regards.--Nopetro 19:35, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
