Mark,
You may now something about languages, but you have no clue about
Wiktionary. And if you did, I would welcome your comments about the ERD
that I posted here
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:ERD.jpg It is
a work in progress and it is working towards the Ultimate Wiktionary. I
can put dialects in there but I am not yet happy about this aspect as I
cannot truly enter simplified Chinese in there in a proper way. It also
places etymology on a different place from where it is traditionally
placed in the wiktionaries due to the fact that there are some that
differ depending on the meaning of a word.
As to capitalisation; any paper dictionary does not capitalise the words
that are in there unless they are capitalised as a rule. It is due to
some unfortunate history that it took so long to change the English
wiktionary. There are currently 19 articles in the African wiktionary,
Jcwf may want to use the same system of templates that are used in many
of the other wiktionaries. To do this it helps to have capitalisation
turned off.
I second his request to turn capitalisation on the af.wiktionary off.
Thanks,
GerardM
