[change] Hi, TDV

Great work creating plural pages! --Dylan 620 ^{Speaketh · @ en.wikipedia} 22:01, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Tempodivalse ^@en.wikinews 22:04, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

[change] Plurals

Could you check to be sure the plural really isn't used before getting rid of it?--Brett 12:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Hm, did I mark multiplication as not having plural? Strange, don't know what I was thinking. I'll make sure to double-check next time, though, thanks. (I think I got confused by the {{mass noun}} next to the definition.) Tempodivalse ^@en.wikinews 14:26, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

The fact that something is a mass/uncountable noun does not lead directly to the conclusion that it has no plural. Most uncountables use plurals to distinguish between kinds (e.g., We carry a variety of beers.)--Brett 16:59, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

[change] Definitions

When you write a definition to a word, please bold the first use of the word :) See neighboring and neighbouring to get what I mean.

Furthermore, alternate spellings are put at the top of the page, just below any pronunciations for the words and are given a Level 3 heading. Cheers, Razor flame 02:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to keep this in mind.

Tempodivalse ^@en.wikinews 02:38, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Please remember to bold the first use of the word in the definition. Thanks, Razor flame 18:26, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Will do, thanks for reminding me again. I must have forgotten. Cheers Tempodivalse 23:03, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

No problems :). I've already fixed this for a good portion of the articles that you've made. I help articles that are created so that they are up to code here, so don't worry about it ;). Cheers, Razor flame 23:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

[change] Making new articles

Hi there. When you make new articles, can you please make sure that they include all of the correct parts of speech please? Can you also check to make sure for any pronunciation sections from the English Wiktionary as well? Thanks, Razor flame 18:30, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Have I been using the wrong parts of speech for some of my entries? I'm usually pretty careful about that. As far as the pronunciations go, I'll keep that in mind and add them from en.wikt where possible. Thanks. Tempodivalse 18:39, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

No, your parts of speech have been correct, it is just that sometimes, you miss some parts of speech, such as with planes. There is a verb definition for that word. Just minor things, but they really help in the long run :). Cheers, Razor flame 18:42, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

[change] Rollback

Hi there! I just added to you the user group rollbacker. Have fun :) Barras 10:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

[change] Login

Hi Tempodivalse. Thanks for welcoming me. I am actually an administrator at Wikipedia (fuhghettaboutit) and recognize you from there. I would have created streak with my username but I have been having trouble logging in. I thought unified login should do so automatically, but for whatever reason, it is not working and, when I try to create an account under my regular name it says that name is taken. Have you run across this before? Does unified login not work across the simple Wikimedia projects?--162.84.163.33 (talk) 04:35, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi FuhGhettaboutit, I assume you've tried to login with your normal password/login. The unified system deffinitly works here if there is not an old one registered I'll check to see if there is.Jamesofur (talk) 04:39, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, according to your [Sul] there appears to be an unattached account here under that name created mid September. Hopefully that's you? If it is you should be able to log in, go to preferences and attach it to your global account. If it isn't you would have to usurp it if you want to connect it :(. However, given that it looks like you created your global account before it was created my guess is it's your account that is somehow unconnected. Jamesofur (talk) 04:43, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you James. Unfortunately it's not working. I did indeed try to login here with my normal username and password and that was a no go. When I go to my preferences → Manage your global account (which links to special:mergeaccount) it says "Login unification complete!" but the Simple Wiktionary is not included in the list and there's no further explanation of how to attach an account that is missing. Maybe I have to make a request at m:Steward requests/SUL requests? Not sure.--162.84.163.33 (talk) 10:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

That's strange. According to the user creation logs your account name as auto-created in September, so it should be unified with the other wikis. But the sul indicates that the user here is unattached. Did you try having the system send you a random password to your email address and try accessing your account from there? That might work, and if you can get into your account you might be able to unify it with the others in your prefs. If that doesn't work, you could try making a request at m:Steward requests/SUL requests, that might solve the trick. Another option would be to have your account here be renamed out of the way, and then create it again, and then try to merge it. Very strange, in any case.

[change] Clean deletion reasons

Hi there. I would like to kindly ask if you could enable the clean delete reasons gadget here on the Simple English Wiktionary. Users can make pages with personal information such as a users' email address or phone number, and if the delete reasons gadget isn't checked, it would transpose it directly into the deletion log, which is a privacy issue and would require us having to get a steward to oversight it, which could be avoided in the first place if you were to enable the clean delete reasons gadget. Hope you understand, Razor flame 01:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Done I enabled it in my user preferences, thanks for the suggestion. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 02:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

No problems. Razor flame 03:54, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

[change] User:Razorflame/Entries

Hi there. Can you make the protection of this page to autoconfirmed only please? Thanks, Razor flame 22:30, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Done Tempodivalse [talk] 22:31, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Razor flame 22:32, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

[change] Patrolling

I hope you've dusted off your patrol tool :). I'm going to be making quite a few pages :) Razor flame 17:03, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Okay, noted. Thanks.

[change] Question

I'm sorry, but I can't find this information in the help pages. Here, in simple Wiktionary, is it just possible to create pages of english language? In other words, don't you accept words of other languages, like french, spanish? --Jesielt (talk) 07:03, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

That's right. We only accept definitions for English-language words, and unlike most other Wiktionaries, don't provide entries or translations for foreign languages. Tempodivalse [talk] 14:23, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

[change] Your RFB

is closed as successful. I've promoted you right now to bureaucrat. I think you don't need adive to how to use your tools. I hope to see you active here esp. in main space. Congratulations! --Barras (talk) 19:21, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Barras! Much appreciated. :-) Tempodivalse [talk] 22:25, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
