Be nice.

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! Conrad.Irwin 23:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Wiktionary is very boring

We are here to build a dictionary. If you want to help, please do. I'd recommend starting by adding some example sentences to easy words. If you're just here to chat, go away and download MSN or google talk. Thanks. Conrad.Irwin 23:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Seriously

You sound like you're about 12 or 13. If documenting a language doesn't interest you, there is no reason for you to be here; perhaps you could find a peer group and go and be a cheerleader or something. I'm not saying we all have to be humourless robots or whatever, but the purpose of this project is to assemble a dictionary of words, which requires research and study and things that are probably "boring". If you just want to meet some HOTT GUYS, try typing "chat room" into Google. Equinox 01:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Please help

[Moved your comment here; these usually go on talk pages, not user pages.] Well, you could read the welcome page [1] to see the aims of this project and some advice and suggestions. One useful thing to do is adding words we don't already have, as long as they are real words we can attest. Or you could clean up untidily formatted articles (once you've picked up how that works), or write example sentences (or even better, real book quotations from e.g. Google Books) for words that don't have them, or hang around WT:RE (entries people have asked for — sometimes worth creating) and WT:RFV (discussion of dubious words and whether we can show that they exist with some real examples).
