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.

Did you know that Wiktionary can be adapted to fit your style? Go have a look at your personal preference page (nicknamed “PREFS”)! In particular, you can choose the option to show hidden categories, which will be of great help if you are looking for work to do.

Again, welcome!

WP banners

These should only be added to the top of a language section, never at the end of the section. This is one of the many ways Wiktionary style differs from that of Wikipedia. --EncycloPetey 20:35, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

this is not wikipedia Robert Ullmann 23:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

to be specific: this is NOT wikipedia. Expecting {{reflist}} to be present, or be the same thing, is a bad assumption

we use References sections inside language sections. If you've used ref tags, you need a references tag:

===References===
<references/>

Wiktionary:Quotations

Hi Jlrobertson,

I've been trying to clean up your contributions to spiritual naturalism. Each time I cleaned up a quotation, my edit summary linked to Wiktionary:Quotations, which explains how we format quotations here. Nonetheless, you continue to add quotations in an apparently random format. I'm starting to get a bit annoyed. Even if you don't want to read a long guideline — and I totally understand that — it's really not hard to mimic the properly-formatted quotations that are on the same page. Quotations formatting is not the hugest deal in the world, but I get frustrated when an editor seems to be making no effort to adjust to Wiktionarian conventions.

But to your credit, your quotations seem to be more accurate than they used to be — for example, they now name actual books, instead of vague genres — and I do appreciate that. :-)
