Eastern Christianity template

That's annoying I'm taking a look. If I can't fix it, I'll revert. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 21:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's weird As the page loaded in another tab, the layout of the page was fine. Huh. What browser are you using (I have Firefox 2.x)? -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 21:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Try again If I loaded a page, the templates wouldn't wrap properly, but if I reloaded it, they did. I have no idea how or why that happened. If you want, revert the template and take a look at Old Church Slavonic for instance. I guess the whole template need to be reworked. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 00:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary

Thanks for the advice, Atelaes. Somehow, I felt that blocking me was wrong, anyway, and someone may need to talk to Connel, the admin responsible for blocking me on wiktionary, I forgot his last name, but he still needs to be talked to. I mean, by blocking me there, he was just biting a newcomer.Kitty53 (talk) 21:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Kukini ^{háblame aquí} 22:06, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenician alphabet

You must be right about the fonts. Sorry, but I couldn't tell - also, you don't seem to have been logged in, right? So I saw an IP address doing something I couldn't understand, and made a false assumption. Thanks for the explanation. By the way, I might not have done it if there had been an edit summary. dougweller (talk) 07:03, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your contribution on A-Cai's talk page!! As I'm getting physically tired right now [it's past three in the morning here], I hope to be able to reply to your nice, constructive and broad-minded post over the weekend. Most appreciated and a sincere Thank You for now!--219.69.81.128 (talk) 20:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Atelaes, I had a go at my first new entry "Rile up" at Wictionary [no idea how to teach my speech recognition software "Wictionary", annoying]. I admit I didn't go yet through the relevant "how to start an entry" pages. Rather similarly as how I try to learn grammar in general, I tried to deduct from " view source"-s how such a rather simple entry should be formated. I have a nice quote [and a funny 1] from Dogbert's management book to go with it to boot, but before I try to take it a level further I'd rather ask for the opinion and feedback of an expert! Also being a big fan/proponent of IPA I would love to add it but have no idea how to make IPA symbols appear... Thanks in advance! Sven 70.

PS, I wasn't too happy with the adjectives nice and broad-minded yesterday. I shouldn't have been anal perhaps about my "three adjectives rule", and instead have gone by just constructive, which is for sure pertaining and suitable in describing your commentary!--219.69.81.128 (talk) 09:15, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the ""rile up" entry is already deleted by semperblotto, which I found out when I was trying to go back to copy and paste the source I gave in, just in case. There doesn't seem to have been left any comments on the discussion page. I don't seem to have gotten any remark as to why deleted on my IP address I have for now. I didn't readily see how to access the deletion log. Can you imagine that this is slightly off putting? I mean as far as I know it's a kosher English word. I had rather a long and hard look yesterday at entries formatting English verbs. My shorthand I don't think is an excuse now for misunderstandings. I try to be constructive here as you were in above mentioned post. In this follow-up message, having had a look at the "personal attack" Guidelines/policy page, I am rather carefully wording the previous as well as the following, which is that I really don't understand that the deletor's guiding principles and find actions like this one for instance, with no communication ensuing a tad upsetting, which is an actual understatement. [And I am sure, having had a read about what newcomers feel about first time out- of-the-blue deletions and blocks, I am certainly not the only one who perceives this in such way, which in the end cannot be good for the dictionary project]. I'm looking forward to your feedback Sven 70--219.69.81.128 (talk) 09:38, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yesterday, I couldn't see/figure out yet how to get the content box in place, though it should be rather straightforward in analogy with the babel languages box on one's user talk page and wondered how essential it is in your layout [I guess it is]. Today I forgot about it, being happy that apart from missing Content box, the layout seemed to be quite okay for a simple entry. Now why do I need to spend my time and energy trying to figure out what went wrong as with a little note left in place by the person who must have found fault the situation would have been cleared up? As such, taking care of this essential communication thingy would mean respecting my time, commitment and energy expenditure in the same way as he or she, the deletor, likely would have other people treating him/herself, resulting in conceivably no problem at all, is that such a bad prospect?--219.69.81.128 (talk) 10:22, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So the only thing missing was {{en-verb}} below the level two header, which would have put the content box in place? Why delete an entry for that, especially without comment?--219.69.81.128 (talk) 11:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On another note, in:* Czech: {{t-|cs|časování|n}}

Dutch: {{t+|nl|vervoeging|f}}, what is the function off the t minus/plus? I really couldn't figure out this function, and wouldn't know where to look it up. Still if I know and am willing to contribute a translation I guess I'm supposed to know what it stands for. How come Flemish/Brabantian is never featured? To an extent, this is political, sure. But what can I say, I'm from Flanders not Holland, and feel uncomfortable having to say that I speak Dutch; even the Babel didn't seem to have those labels, even though say Phrisian and Galician are listed, which could be argued as dialects too. [I agree with what you posted on A-Cai's talk page though, and have no strong feelings whatsoever about that topic, it is just that in the sources I have here, they mostly add the -hua, nothing more, though locals might feel differently about that].--219.69.81.128 (talk) 12:24, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
