Kilburn~gdwiki

Fàilte

Halò, Kilburn, math d' fhaicinn an-seo agus tha sinn toilichte fhaicinn cuideachd gu bheil thu cho gnìomhach air Uicipeid na Gàidhlig! Ma bhios ceist sam bith agad, tha sinn deiseil is deònach do chuideachadh.

Aon rud beag 's dòcha. Mhothaich mi gu bheil thu cruthachadh iomadh aiste air daoine beò. Bhiodh e beagan na b' fhearr nam b' urra dhut tùsan a chleachdadh o thùs (leabhar no rud mar sin, fiù ma chleachdas tu an dearbh fheadhainn a th' air Uicipeid na Beurla). Mur eil thu cinnteach mar a nì thu sin, cuir sùil air duilleagan mar Iain Noble no cuir ceist orm-sa.

A-rithist, fàilte chridheil ort! Akerbeltz 02:36, 14 dhen Ghearrain 2011 (UTC)

HalòAkerbeltz, tapadh leibh for your kind welcome! I must admit I am only learning Gàidhlig and I thought it would be good practise for me if I used it here Uicipeid, by creating articles, etc. I understand you are saying there is something wrong with the biographies I have created? If I'm making too many mistakes, let me know and I'll return when my Gàidhlig is a bit better Kilburn

No, it's pefectly Ok for you to contribute. I was simply suggesting you might want to add at least one reference for each biography. Biographies of living people can be a bit contentious so it's always best to pepper them with as many source references as possible and I suggested you look at Iain Noble's page - or any page that has a ref really for how that works. In this case, you can even just copy and paste the references from the English Wiki. It just keeps things tidy.

The other point I'd suggest in that case, if you're creating stubs on living people, that we perhaps work out a formula. Some of your sentences were slightly off but if you stuck to something like 'S e [profession] [nationality] a tha ann an [name] that would work well. Here's a few other phrases that might come in handy:

• Rugadh e/i ann an [year of birth] agus chaochail e/i ann an [year of death]
• Tha e/i ainmeil a thaobh [something]
• Rinn e/i na filmichean/òrain a leanas: [plus a list]
• Bha e/i anns na filmichean/òrain/[etc] a leanas: [plus a list]

It might just be a way of fleshing out the particular kind of article you're working on. I can also recommend that you perhaps use Firefox and install the Gaelic spellchecker? You haven't made any typos that I can see so far but prevention is always good :)

Agus a-rithst, fàilte do dh'Uicipeid na Gàidhlig! Akerbeltz 14:03, 14 dhen Ghearrain 2011 (UTC)

Halò Kilburn, fàilte bhuam-sa cuideachd! As Akerbeltz already said, being a learner shouldn't keep you away from contributing here, Uicipeid na Gàidhlig is a good way to improve your Gaelic. And you are doing great be adding categories, pictures an interwikilinks as well. Just to add a little bit more to the articles would give the reader some more information, may be a list of his/her famous works as you can see it Patrick Swayze now.

Halò Sionnach, tapadh leibh cuideachd! I'll try and flesh out the articles I created a bit. If I create a few and don't write a lot on them, don't worry, I'll come back to them at a later date.

Kilburn

Best way to sign is by four squiggles ~ ~ ~ ~ (without the spaces) - that automatically puts in time, date etc. :) Akerbeltz 01:01, 16 dhen Ghearrain 2011 (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 Kilburn. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kilburn~gdwiki 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
