Normally, I would see perfect squares. This time, however, I see skinny little vertical rectangles.—JarlaxleArtemis

I have been away for some time from wikipedia due to other engagements I am planning to spend some time contributing. My previous contributions include preparing the main page and the the Amharic wikipedia logo...etc.

I have few things to say about the present organization of the pages.

The main page and others need a standard template and needs a lot of work. The amharic page is not quite apealing yet. I have created a main page for amharic wiktionary. We can use templates devloped by other languges and I used the Norwagian side to help me prepare the above. By the way we can develop glossary and standard terms more conviniently on wiktionary.
I found quite a few pages including the main page locked so that it can not be edited. This is not very helpfull policy. Especially for languges that do not have that many contributers. Even thogh there is always the danger of vandalsm on wiki pages the sysops can revert a vandalized page with a click of a mouse instead of closing and discouraging many who would drop-in and drop a key information that would be critical for the sucssess of the project. I would like to sujest the present sysops to open all pages for editing.
When I was translating the main page I translated "encyclopedia" as "መጽሐፈ-ዕውቀት". On hindsight this is not the right translation. The right translation should have been "መዝገበ-ዕውቀት". This would go nicely with "መዝገበ-ቃላት". I would like an input on this and if it makes sense then we should make the change as soon as posible before the bad translation takes root.
The system message page is locked for editing. I do not know if the file is locked by default or sysops locked it. But we need to translate that page as soon as possible. By the way Is there any on who knows if the page has a po file? It would be much easier to run it through a translation memory and edit than writing each translation again. There is a lot of work that has been done for Amharic already. No need to re-envent the wheel.

The job that has been done is wonderfull and I hope we make this project a succesfull one for our people.

መልካም ስራ

Welcome! or should I say Welcome back! I have been meaning to invigorate the Wiktionary for some time and was just on th verge of doing so, when you just barely beat me to it! I will register over there and help out with the excellent start you have made...

Since the Main Page over there (at am.Wiktionary) is open for editing, it's only fair that I unlock the Main Page here as well, so you can work on it... The other መጋቢ, Elfalem, had locked it in September, but I think we can probably deal with any vandalism as you said, as long as it doesn't get too bad... I don't know of any other pages that have been locked; looking at Special:Log/protect you can see that the feature hasn't been used much. Yes, the Mediawiki namespace is already locked by default and IMO should stay that way since it controls the interface... Under the new system, each element of the interface has its own page in the Mediawiki namespace, rather than a single file... however if you have any concrete suggestions for translating or improving any of them, go ahead -- the "Mediawiki Talk" namespace is open, they can be linked to from the above "System messages" page, and I will be sure to see it. We have pretty well finished most of the messages that the average user is liable to encounter when using the site.

As for መዝገበ-ዕውቀት, that makes sense to me, so if you update the logo first, we can make all the appropriate changes elsewhere...

ለፈጣን መልስዎ አመሰግናለሁ.

Then I will be working on the Logo. In mean time the posibilities for the wiktionary are unlimited. The wikipedia page for the letters eg. ላዌ can be a very good starting point for the index page. The multilingual dictionarie is some thing that Ethiopians that spread through out the world can collaborate and create. Week days I will be busy and less active but on weekends and alternate weeks I will be putting some hours in To wiki-pedia-tionary.
