Abigor
Hello, Abigor, and welcome to the Simple English Wiktionary!
We hope you are happy editing here. Some helpful pages to begin with are Wiktionary:Community Portal, Wiktionary:Useful, Help:Contents, Wiktionary:Rules, and Wiktionary:How to edit.
If you want to talk with other members or ask a question, you can visit Wiktionary:Simple talk. Administrators can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. Just remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.
Good luck and happy editing!
Please, note that national and state symbols (e.g., National reptile of Pakistan) are not appropriate for a dictionary and will deleted. Please, don't waste your time and mine by adding them.--Brett 10:27, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- I wasn't creating them. I was fixing some broken redirects. :) Thanks for your welcome. Cheers, Abigor 22:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- My mistake. Sorry, and thanks for your help.--Brett 11:59, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

changeI could be wrong (and have been before) but the style of the entry seems quite familiar. It appears that some vandal keeps making similar edits from different addresses.--Brett 20:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Names of Wikimedia languages
changeDear Abigor,
we are initiating a long needed action - we would like to translate names of all Wikimedia languages to all Wikimedia languages in the next two months. We have noticed that you are very active on Wiktionary and that is the reason why we are taking liberty to contact you.
We hope that you would be interesting to help us in our endeavor - To make this action easier we have already prepared the list of all Wikimedia languages, and for each language we have already prepared the page with existing and missing translations. So when you go to the page for your language you would have two tasks - to check whether existing translations are OK and to fill in the missing one. The more detailed instruction are on the language page.
What are the benefits of this work?
- We believe it is about time to have all Wikimedia languages translated to all Wikimedia languages :)
- Translated languages will be parsed into Wiktionary and the resulting number of Wiktionary entries will be significant for each language. That could significantly increase the number of entries for less developed Wiktionaries, and improve the quality of entries in general.
- Wikidata - this would be great contribution to Wikidata.
- All other projects could benefit from this list (Wiki Travel :)), as we believe that certain amount of terms has to be properly translated to all languages.
We are gathered around the project Wiktionary Meets Matica Srpska and we hope that you would be interesting in working with us! If you have any questions you can ask them on the Names of Wikimedia languages discussion page or via personal emails.
Important notice: The data are licensed under CC0, as they should be incorporated into Wikidata at the end of the process.
If you don’t want to receive future announcement about the project, please leave a note on discussion page.
Thank you and looking forward to hear from you!
