Welcome[edit]

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It 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.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

  • Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
  • Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
  • Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
  • If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
  • If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
  • Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
  • You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Yiddish[edit]

Thank you for your work with Yiddish! A couple of minor technical details about plurals:

  • You can create plurals automatically by going to Special:Preferences, going to the tab 'Gadgets', going to the section 'Editing gadgets', and clicking the second checkbox. Once you do that, plurals will appear green and clicking on them will fill in all the information.
  • Also, in {{yi-noun}}, plurals can be given as pl=n or pl=s if the plural is regularly formed by adding one of these. In such cases, giving the pltr= is not necessary.
Please ask if you have any questions, and again, thank you! —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:06, 11 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Pfanne[edit]

You changed the pronunciation section of Pfanne, saying that it's pronounced /panə/ in the North and West. That's obviously not true, because no speaker would read out the word Pfanne as /panə/. What you meant, of course, was that there's a dialectal form Panne or Pann in those areas, but that has nothing to do with pronunciation. So I reverted it. What you could do is to create a separate entry for the word Panne and mark that as dialectal! Best regards.

cemetery[edit]

Hello, you made this entry to cemetery two years ago. I was wondering what your source is for AAVE pronunciation since it’s not a homogenous dialect, and second of all why you didn’t include a [ɹ] in the third syllable. Yes, AAVE is usually non-rhotic but that doesn’t delete syllable initial [ɹ]’s. Regards, --Lundgren8 (t · c) 16:10, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
