{{Salve|Boleyn}}
Thanks for wanting to join us. You need to understand that it's not possible to write a foreign language without having studied it, at least a little. At present your Latin is not quite good enough. If you want to learn more and get some help with your pages, you are welcome to ask at the [[Vicipaedia:Taberna]]!
Bene facis, Andrew. I have been studying Latin for three months, and hopefully will come up to standard, and mean I can make a better contibution to Latin Wikipedia. [[Usor:Boleyn|Boleyn]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Boleyn|disputatio]]) 14:45, 21 Novembris 2013 (UTC)
:Thanks for replying, Boleyn. No problem. People will certainly help. So just keep at it!
:As you may have realised, "Thomae Boleni" was the genitive case. Our pagenames will almost always be in the nominative, hence the move to [[Thomas Bolenus]].
:You may also like to know that "de" doesn't mean "of" in Latin (it does in French). You use the simple genitive case, with no preposition, for "of". So, for example, the second sentence of the existing article [[Anna Bolena]] means: "She was the daughter ''of Thomas Boleyn'' and ''of Elizabeth Howard''." The genitive forms of Thomas Bolenus and Elisabetha Hauarda are needed in that sentence, but the links have to be made to the nominative forms. Maybe that helps? Feel free to ask any questions.
== Linking to other Wikipedias ==
When you have created a new page here, Boleyn, you need to link it to other wikipedias. The way to do this, after you have saved your new page, is to go to the page in English (or any other language) on the same subject and look in the left hand margin for the links to other languages. At the bottom you see the words "Add links". Click on that. On the Wikidata page which you will then see, you can add a line "Latina" "[Name-of-your-Latin-page]". Try it, with [[Edgitha]] for example: tell me if you have problems.
== Days of the month ==
Hi, Boleyn. I think you need to notice, via other existing pages, how we format dates. They are in the genitive case (because the full Latin sense is "the day ''of'' 19 July"). We give a capital letter to the month name. We use "I", not "J" in Latin words. We link the day-month, and then separately link the year that follows. So it comes out like this: <nowiki>[[19 Iulii]] [[1553]]</nowiki>, giving the result [[19 Iulii]] [[1553]]. Try it! When you've saved, if the links are blue, you've got it right :)
Thanks for the advice, [[Usor:Boleyn|Boleyn]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Boleyn|disputatio]]) 14:03, 13 Decembris 2013 (UTC)
:Here's another little thing. When you move a page, the default is that a redirect is created. There's a good reason for this -- there may well be links pointing to the old name. So, don't go back and delete the redirect, even if the name was a simple mistake, until you are sure you have tidied up the links. You can check whether there are links within Vicipaedia by clicking on "Nexus ad paginam" in the left column, but you also need to consider whether there are links at Wikidata. If in doubt, just leave the redirect -- it does no harm.
I had been through and resolved all incoming links, plus Wikidata. Thanks, [[Usor:Boleyn|Boleyn]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Boleyn|disputatio]]) 17:00, 14 Decembris 2013 (UTC)
:That's fine, then! Having done that, you can edit the redirect, replacing the text with the template <nowiki>{{Delenda}}</nowiki>. A magistratus (admin) will delete the page.

Linea 36:
It doesn't quite work in Latin. I left the word "rex" in the nominative case: therefore it describes whatever, earlier in the sentence, is in the nominative case. Not "Georgii", because that's in the genitive; so it must describe "Carolina". So my Latin sentence means ''Carolina was the wife of George I [and she was] king of Britain''. To say what I really mean, I have to change "rex" into the genitive form -- "regis", and write:
* Carolina ... fuit uxor <nowiki>[[Georgius I (rex Britanniae)|Georgii I, regis Britanniae]]</nowiki>. -- producing the result "Carolina ... fuit uxor Georgii I, regis Britanniae."
That means, as intended, ''Carolina was the wife of George I [who was] king of Britain'' ... Hope this makes sense. Happy editing

Linea 43:
I marked the American politician "Non stipula": this means the page will be deleted in seven days unless it's improved. The two problems are that no source is cited, and no reason for his notability is given. I guessed you were trying to say he was a US politician, so I wrote that, but we need a bit more detail. Where did he live? Where did he die? The USA's a big country: where did he work? If an encyclopedia article doesn't even say that, it needs some improvement!
There's one other point I notice about your articles -- not the recent Seymours in particular, but generally: it would be good to illustrate them if possible. Often, I think, you are working from the English Wikipedia, and those articles often have illustrations. You could use most of those illustrations here. To be quite sure whether you can use an English Wikipedia illustration, just click on the illustration. If the page you then see says "This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons", that means the illustration is available to us too. Most of them are. The formatting is easy: you could try copying an illustration from another page to see how it works.
