Linking
Hi Wordrider! I noticed you were off to good start by linking terms in Spousal rape. When possible, links are usually made to an appropriate Wikipedia article. The How to edit a page article is very in-depth and helpful but the quick way to link is to put the link name inside of brackets like this: link name. For example, to link to encyclopedia you'd type encyclopedia  and the link would look like this: encyclopedia. Hope this was helpful and have fun editing! Carrp | Talk 01:07, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Gormless
Hi Wordrider. I wonder why you choose to remove the unencyclopedic tag I had placed on the gormless article. The entry is certainly far from Wikipedia standards; whatever little content it may have is strictly etymological or concerned with word usage. Both issues, while valid and interesting in their own right, are strictly Wiktionary material. See the notice on slang and word use in the Wikipedia policy. I understand that it may be a matter of pride for UFies to keep the article alive, but it certainly doesn't belong here. Taragui 12:26, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
