This talk page probably won't be read by me for a long time, please post responces on my other talk page. Thanks.

Your example was added to the verb section, but should be under the noun. SemperBlotto 09:27, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for catching that, I've just moved it. -- penubag  (talk) 09:32, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

fractiousness is a noun. fractious is an adjective. SemperBlotto 09:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm out of it today, that was my stupid mistake (again) especially when I was looking right at a dictionary while I was writing those. Now that I look back, I realize that my mind some how switched the two words. Good thing you're monitoring my edits...I really should go to bed now. -- penubag  (talk) 09:54, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

Not having a good day?

• "A conversation in which is humored and contains jokes"" doesn't make any sense
• "To speak or joke in a teasing manner" - that is the verb to banter
• "a bantering inconsequence" - that looks like an adjective to me (describes inconsequence) SemperBlotto 10:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I could reword the definition to A humored conversation spoken jokingly. And sorry, I'm just not used to a dictionary that has its different parts of speeches on separate pages. -- penubag  (talk) 10:45, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi,

Thanks for your contributions to swank. The verb definition no longer makes sense to me; I've listed it at Wiktionary:Requests for cleanup#swank to see if anyone can help improve it, but of course no one else will understand it better than the person who wrote it. So, please take a look if you have a chance. :-)

Thanks!
