User talk:Jansegers
Welcome[change source]
Hello, Jansegers, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your changes. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Sadly, one of the pages you started, like "Globish", may not fit some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages and may soon be deleted.
There is a page about making articles you may want to read. It is called "How to write Simple English articles". If you need help, please post a message at "Simple talk", where other experienced Wikipedians can answer any questions you have. Or, you can type {{helpme}} on your user talk page, and someone will soon answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- What Wikipedia is not
- How to write Simple English articles
- How to change pages
- Biographies of living persons
- Help pages
I would like to add the following list to simple wikipedia : {{helpme}} (I would like to add the following list to simple wikipedia, can I do this / should I do it ?)
SIMPLE1540 : a simple English wikipedia word list
based on the XML export of all articles related to the nine major groups: Everyday life, Geography, History, Knowledge, Language, Literature, People, Religion, and Science and retaining all forms appearing 7 times or more in this corpus.

China, March and May made this list because china, march and may are on it and I didn't want to decide in favor of the common noun or the proper noun; all other proper nouns have been omitted (even the ten other months that met the criterium of appearing more then 6 times).
The total corpus exceded the 100 000 words. The linking above goes to the standard wiktionary, like some words are rather rare. Jansegers (talk) 14:28, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
- It seems to me that such a list would become obsolete regularly. What would be the purpose of adding it? --Auntof6 (talk) 00:14, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- Strangely enough, list like these stay useful for some 50 years, the General Service List of West has only recently gotten an update ... Jansegers (talk) 12:58, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
