Well, not that anyone would allocate time for that, but newbies usually
create dictionary entries (in Hungarian), and would be useful to keep them
instead of deleting. If a hu.wiktionary doesn't require much space or
resources it would be nice, even if there would be only 46 articles a
year...
That being said, if someone wants
to write up English definitions for Hungarian words that would go on the
English Wiktionary.
Sure. (To be honest, I don't really grasp the idea, since it's pretty time
consuming to update a definition. For example there's a word for "Dog", and
there are 23 pages describing dog in 23 other languages. Then I come, and
want to share Hungarian Dog, so I have to edit *24* pages to insert Dog
everywhere. I know, it's a wiki not a database, but still, prevents me from
wanting to do anything serious there.)
3. entire quoted books; (They belong in Wikibooks)
A user started to enter his own fictions and writings in the .hu.wikipedia.
Right now I can only send him to... anywhere else, and delete the
"articles". Do they belong to Wikibooks? Essays, novels, any kind of
"fictional facts" and other nonsense?
My opinion is that works of original fiction don't belong in any of
these, but if the Hungarian Wikipedians decide a different policy that's
their choice, You're not going to get a lot of objections from those of
us who don't understand a word of Hungarian
My opinion is that Wikipedia is not a short story publisher, and he can go
to any free web provider or freeform-wiki to publish these.
Thanks for the opinion. :)
