Welcome to my user page! I've been a Wikimedia editor since April 2008 and an active editor of English Wiktionary since February 2015. I mainly edit Hungarian entries. For more information about me, see my profile at hu.wiki.

Names and attributes must be accommodated to the essence of things, and not the essence to the names, since things come first and names afterwards.

[T]he maximum number of revisions an author made is 237,600 for the English Wiktionary (user "Equinox") ... As an anonymous reviewer points out, this "sounds as [sic] an incredibly high number of revisions for one single user".

About me
editHi. I've been on Wiktionary since mid-2006. I encounter books, newspapers, and everyday life.
Things to do, apart from adding words
edit- Why doesn't my headset work? I could record a zillion words. Try it on another PC. If it's super-quiet and broken even there, buy a new one.
- Ditto: deal with the initialisms and abbreviations that need a proper part of speech.
- Go through Special:WhatLinksHere/&c. and replace those prissy, attention-seeking "&c." links with "etc."
- Things not to do: finish my excellent desktop Wiktionary with loads of power-user shortcut keys, since templates change too fast and I would end up vandalising without knowing it. *cry*
