Hi there. Definition lines start with a # not a *. Also, see Wiktionary:About Latin for how we deal with Latin entries. Here is our standard welcome. SemperBlotto 07:16, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

Thanks for the information! Mikael Häggström 17:44, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Remember not to use Wikipedia style references, in general. Citations are what we look for, not other secondary sources. --Connel MacKenzie 18:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. We have a page called the Criteria for Inclusion that determines what can and can't be allowed as an entry on the English Wiktionary. Recently, you've been creating some entries that appear to fall foul of these criteria. Please read through the page. All Wiktionarians have a right to dispute policy or ask that it be changed in the policy forum, but all Wiktionarians are also expected to follow any policy that has been agreed upon by community consensus. Thank you —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:26, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware of these criteria, and I've commented on the issue at Wiktionary:Requests for verification#low hundreds, high hundreds, which I believe contains the terms you refer to. Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:01, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good job with mid hundreds, low hundreds, high hundreds, IMHO anyway. --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:47, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
