My learning curve actually curved upward last evening, thanks to posts from classmates and my stubborness to navigate the wiki sites a bit. After editing in our Future's wiki last night, I entered wiktionary this morning, edited the "tweet" entry to my satisfaction (minus one typo) and logged out. Later, I returned to the site to see the amended entry, only to see the previous entry. Thinking I'd perhaps erred when I saved, I delved into the history of the changes. I was amazed; to access my entry only seventh-five minutes earlier, I had to display the last 500 changes on wiktionary.
Aha! The "tweet" entry had been re-edited since my edit; someone preferred the previous entry to mine. I recall seeing a post that reminded us not to post unless we were prepared to have our work edited, so I am not bothered by that change at all. I did, however, edit my edit and repost that before fully comprehending the history; I had a typo to correct.
So...first entry into Wiktionary posted, and edited. Ha! At least I know someone is paying attention. The whole thing is pretty cool!
Enjoy! Anne
