Wiktionary:Beer parlour/2003/July-September

Cyrillic entries
An interesting situation has come up since an anonymous user has started making entries in Russian. Although the software that we inherited from Wikipedia automatically capitalizes the first letter in an English title, it certainly does not do this with Cyrillic script titles. Many of us have raised concerns about automatic capitalization, but there have been no changes in the software. I have always preferred an optimistic approach, and have always used the lower case when making links. The biggest argument by the proponents of the present software has been in regards to using capitals when a sentence starts with a linked word.

For now I would suggest that we adopt the view that all Cyrillic word article titles start with a lower case letter unless there is a specific rule that requires a capital letter. This could be extended to other languages (such as Armenian) where the script distinguishes between upper and lower case. Eclecticology 19:18, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

 * So, the current software capitalizes articles written in roman alphabet but can't do it for russian, hu ? I don't seee where is the problem. It's the english wiktionary so russian is just here to give translations of words, not to write whole sentences. I can't see any reason to have a common noun capitalized. Because of my bad english, perhaps I haven't really understood the problem Koxinga 20:34, 13 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Peer review?
I'm new, so please take it easy on me if this is a stupid question (or it's being asked on the wrong page), but at Wikipedia, there is a page to request peer reviews. Is there something like that here? I just made my first contribution, Arrogant, and I wondered to know if anyone had pointers/corrections/tips/dirty looks for me. Thanks, Next Paige 22:55, 30 Sep 2003 (UTC)
 * Hi Next Paige, welcome to Wiktionary.

 * You are indeed asking your question on the right page, and it's far from stupid. As far as I am aware, Wiktionary does not have a peer-review system, in the same way that there are many other features of Wikipedia that Wiktionary does not (yet) have.  The reviewing is done by users who visit pages and revise them, just as happens on Wikipedia.

 * How does peer review work on Wikipedia? No doubt it is useful - do you think something similar could work here effectively here?

 * In the meantime, one way of "advertising" your page to ensure it gets read by others it to include it on the main page (the Wiktionary home page) under the "New Entries" section. -- Paul G 17:16, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The Middle English originally meant "to correct, remedy" in the late 14th century, and was reborrowed from Middle French in the early 17th century.

Could you please not make unneeded new categories to replace the ones already made? You've orphaned some of the already set up categories that had plenty of work already done on them. It's going to take a while to put them back in place, so I think it would be for the best if you helped put them back to how they were. -- [[User talk:LGagnon|LGagnon]] 16:56, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Maya. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Maya~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:59, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Before introduction of this letter, the schwa was ambiguously represented by A or E.
