Hello, Pmlinediter, and welcome to the Simple English Wiktionary!

We hope you will be happy editing here. Some helpful pages to begin with are Wiktionary:Community Portal, Wiktionary:Useful, Help:Contents, Wiktionary:Rules, and Wiktionary:How to edit.

If you want to talk with other members or ask a question, you can visit Wiktionary:Simple talk. Administrators can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. Just remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

Good luck and happy editing!--Brett 12:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

[change] Your edits

Thank you for adding beggar and accessibility. I've formatted them to match our style. Please, have a look.--Brett 12:08, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I am trying to learn about Wiktionary. I'll be semi-active here but will come here at least once a day. Pmlin editor 11:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for adding editor. If possible, consider adding example sentences using some of the more common words from the following list. Also, consider adding the different senses of editor that those examples suggest.

You can produce a similar list with different words here.--Brett 17:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'll try once I get time. I edit at seWP, enWP and meta and so... don't get much time. Plus, I've a PVGA at seWP, so I'll be more active here and well, edit the pages. Regards, Pmlin editor 10:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC).

[change] Simple wikibooks closed?

I can't find anything suggesting that this site is closed? What makes you think it is?--Brett 10:52, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Tell me, do you look at meta? Just go there and see. :P Pmlin editor 11:37, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I did. All I can see is a discussion. I see no decision.--Brett 12:22, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I failed. :/. I clicked on the en version. 12:31, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

[change] Synonyms

Could you please comment here?--Brett 13:19, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

[change] Related words

Thanks for your help on this. Related words should be derivationally related. And the heading should be simply "Related words" not "Related words and phrases".--Brett 18:43, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. Pmlineditor Talk 08:18, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

[change] Waiting

Nice catch on waiting!--Brett 11:50, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Haha, yeah. We seem to tag many present participles as adjectives. I'd try to fix those. Pmlineditor Talk 11:51, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

[change] Links in examples

Generally, example sentences should not need or have links in them, and if there is the unusual case where it is needed, it should be to a word here, not on simple.wiki.--Brett 16:42, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Actually, I remember seeing that the word was a bit complex and wasn't here and so I linked to Simple. Thanks and regards, Pmlineditor Talk 16:43, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

[change] Thanks!

Hi! Just a quick note to say thanks for copyediting behind me - i'm still learning the ropes of Simple English. --Skenmy 10:25, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. You're doing great work here and I hope that you continue to help us with your contributions. Regards, Pmlineditor Talk 10:28, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

[change] See also

Please avoid "see also" unless there is a compelling reason. It shouldn't just be a list of things that occurred to the editor.--Brett 17:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I remember adding "weigh" to see also at "weight". This is not something which simply occurred to me; they are related. Pmlineditor Talk 04:42, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

[change] Defining style

With verbs, please use that "If (subject) (verb),..." style, not "to (verb) is...". For nouns, please use "A (noun) is..." or "(noun) is..."--Brett 17:45, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

My error. I shouldn't have used verbs as an infinitive. Pmlineditor Talk 04:42, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

[change] Italics

Hi Pmlinediter. Thanks for creating so many entries! One note, though - when you're writing an example sentence in a definition, could you please make sure to italicise it? Thanks. Tempodivalse 17:08, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot that in the article. I know about it though and have added it in almost all other entries. Pmlineditor Talk 17:09, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

[change] Re: Your Bot

Sorry for the late reply but I've just returned from a long break in editing. The server that my bot was hosted on has been taken offline and now I need to find another server. Regards, Maximillion Pegasus 01:38, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok fine. Thanks for replying. Pmlineditor Talk 16:25, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

[change] exemplifying vs using

Examples sentences should exemplify the meaning and use of a word, not simply include the word in a sentence. Examples like The ~ was nowhere to be found fail to do this. The blank could be filled by almost any physical object. A sentence like There were long lines at some banks, as people traded in their old money for the new coins and banknotes is a little longer, but not particularly complex and much more indicative of the meaning and use of banknote.--Brett (talk) 12:59, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

I see. I'll try to do this in my future edits. Thank you. Regards, Pmlineditor ∞ 13:00, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

[change] Administrator

Congratulations! You are now an administrator! Keep up the good work! Razor flame 00:02, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, congrats indeed. You just set the record for the first and only person to become an admin on all four Simple Projects :) Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 00:04, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Tempodivalse [talk] 00:39, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks all. Hope to do good work. Pmlineditor ∞ 09:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm aware of the detachment of the local account. This shows that I own both accounts. Pmlineditor ∞ 07:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
