Welcome[edit]

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

  • How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.
  • Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
  • Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including, there is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
  • The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
  • We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Again, welcome! --Ivan Štambuk 22:05, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

eminency[edit]

You have marked all the definitions of this word as {{obsolete}}, which I believe is incorrect. The "obsolete" label means that (1) the term is no longer used, and (2) modern speakers will not be able to guess the meaning when they come across a usage. I do not believe this is the case for eminency. --EncycloPetey 19:08, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The OED does not always use "obsolete" the same way that we do. --EncycloPetey 19:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

protuberancies[edit]

Are you sure about that reference? I'm looking at OED 2008 (draft) and no returns on search. - Amgine/talk 18:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to suggest, to me, the OED does not believe the plural form has any extant, citable examples in print. - Amgine/talk 19:04, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
<nod> I went looking as well, and found many citings, especially in geological research. - Amgine/talk 19:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

curry[edit]

Did you mean to remove a hatful of translations? Mglovesfun (talk) 12:56, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! No I didn't. Sorry. I'm not sure how I managed to do that. Eroica 13:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

References headers misplaced[edit]

Please take a close look at WT:ELE. Reference headers belong at the end of the language section, before the categories and interwiki links. DCDuring TALK 19:00, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Italian plurals[edit]

Hi there. You don't need to add Italian plurals - we have a bot that does it automajically. SemperBlotto 13:55, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About Irish[edit]

I have recently expanded the page Wiktionary:About Irish. Please take a look, be bold in changing it, and make comments on the talk page. Thanks! —Angr 14:54, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
