dia daoibh aríst, just a quick one today, was practicing the different tenses for verbs, i tend to use Wiktionary sometimes as it has a lot listed, I came across "goin" and thought, grand, 1st conjugation, slender, i know the endings for slender... ghoin mé etc etc then i get to "we" and though seeming its slender it should be "ghoineamar" ? but it has listed here "ghoinamar" but for all the other tenses it has what i thought are the "slender" endings, goinfidh mé, goinfimid etc.

So are my rules mistaken? Is it a typo? An exception? The fact that its a list from Wiki?

'maith agaibh

I would think that that is a typo!

The Briathra na Gaeilge says that it follows the standard pattern like the verb bris, which would indicate that what you saw was a typo, as noted already, and should have read ghoineamar, as you expected.
