Hi and welcome to my talk page. Just click here to start a new topic. I prefer to have discussions in one place. If you start a topic here, I will answer here. If I ask something on your page, I will expect an answer there. Do not worry if it takes me a few days to respond. I am more active on other wikis and will not check this page all the time.

What to bold

I understand what you're saying, but I think that although certain prepositions that are licensed by a particular adjective (e.g., involved in, responsible for, aware of, etc.) are very common, they really are just complements, not part of the head. I would stick with just emboldening :-) the head word.--Brett 14:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Hm, okay, I just thought it might be misleading, but I can live with how it's written now. --rimshot^talk 09:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Adjective template

Thanks for the changes. Is there any way to automatically change all the 200-300 adjectives that have the old syntax?--Brett 10:48, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I guess AWB or anything similar could be used to do that, but there really aren't so many adjectives that need the change. Most adjectives are either regular or non-comparable. I'll just change the rest. --rimshot^talk 11:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Done. I've found some strange inflections on the way, so it's good not to have done it automatically. --rimshot^talk 12:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!--Brett 19:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Target

Hi, Rimshot! Thank you for your contributions. As you can see, I've added a target to the main page. I hope everyone will be inspired to work together to achieve it.--Brett 17:02, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Good luck with that goal. Maybe I'll add a few entries. --rimshot^talk 11:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Transwiki

Hi. I transwikied Hadith. Did I do it correctly? (I didn't transwiki to the Transwiki namespace, but directly to Hadith. Is it ok?) Huji 16:18, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I am no expert on transwiki'ing, but it seems fine to me. There is no need to use the Transwiki namespace if you immediately format the page as a wiktionary entry. One thing, though: the dictionaries I checked have hadith as regular noun, not as proper noun. This isn't obvious, as many pages, in particular this one, freely switch between hadith and Hadith. I wanted to move the page to hadith. Brett was faster than me, however. --rimshot^talk 17:57, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, to be frank, I didn't make hadith's first word capitalize to mean any thing! I just wasn't aware that in wiktionary, articles are case-sensitive in regard to their first word. Huji 17:10, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Foul Fowl

I knew that!  :-) --Coppertwig 12:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Sure :p --rimshot^talk 08:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
