I have been looking for a way to contact someone at Wiktionary.

I was a writer in the 1980s for Shutterbug (Ads) and now defunct Barnack & Berek Magazine. I also had a lot of prosaic work published in very, very minor publications, but I invented a word the might find better use than "timeframe" or "point-in-time."

It is 'neoniceties'

You will find "neo" and "niceties" both quoted in the M-W and other dictionaries and I do not wish to impinge on their copyright protection.

So I will attribute its meaning as 'neo' being "near" or in close proximity to the subject. 'Niceties' is self explanatory or understood.

I think it is a crackerjack word and could slowly find its way into use; telling that something said, shown or printed is not exactly unwarrantedly ill-spoken of, nor is carelessly inattentive to details, or indelicate, inexact, or imprecise.

I feel sure that Wiki personnel with their attention to precision and conciseness may see the value of this word being fostered, published and shepherded into use. I feel sure that writers would love to have a new word to use in our language.

Thank you.
