Some guidelines for entries

Hi, good to see you’re getting the hang of Wiktionary syntax. You’ve created quite a few good entries, but in order to keep things organised you’ll need to keep some simple rules in mind:

• Avoid making entries that are SOP—that is, whose entire meaning can be understood from their component words. În mijlocul pustietății, for example, certainly does not qualify for inclusion. See, however, WT:Collocations.
• The criteria for inclusion say that, to be added, a word needs three citations in durably archived sources (i. e. books—the easiest way to check is to look up the word on Google, preferably in quotation marks, and check the ‘Books’ tab). I have no doubt that șarmută is a real word that people use, but under these criteria it cannot be included.

Anyway, don’t let this discourage you, and keep on observing. Good luck! --Biolongvistul (talk) 12:40, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I understand and I really apologize for my mistakes. I will try to not repeat and actually I found șarmută on some weird dictionary so I decided to add it because why not. Anyways have a good day. Sniptopsail (talk) 17:27, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Trage for ‘to smoke’

It would be nice if you could elaborate on the sense you’ve added, perhaps with an usage example. The main issue is whether the ‘slang’ sense in question is novel or if it overlaps with existing usage (which is already varied, actually). ―⁠Biolongvistul (talk) 20:46, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Understood

I've mainly seen it in song lyrics being used as smoking, did you mean that I should make some sentences example? I'll try my best, man. Sniptopsail (talk) 18:48, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Song lyrics? That’s even better than I expected—they make for CFI-compliant quotations ({{quote-song}}). This would be valuable documentation. ―⁠Biolongvistul (talk) 20:56, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I've made the quotation on the page, go check if you want and let me know if I missed something or made a mistake. Sniptopsail (talk) 21:36, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

I very belatedly (no excuse) took a look at the quotation you added. It seems much more likely to me that trage has meaning #15 (‘exert oneself’) in the song, given the context of the line. Could you perhaps replace the quotation? ―⁠Biolongvistul (talk) 18:43, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem, I mean I'm Romanian myself but a lot of words still confuse me. Sniptopsail (talk) 15:33, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I just edited it now, hope the lyrics are correct or maybe I should change again. Sniptopsail (talk) 15:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
