Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary! We notice that you're making changes anonymously. Although this is perfectly all right, we'd like to encourage you to take the time to create an account and sign in to it when editing – it's free and easy. A list of good reasons to do so is at Wiktionary:Why create an account?.

Please note that we are not Wikipedia. If you have edited there, then it won't be very difficult for you to find your way here, but there are a number of differences. For example, Wiktionary is case-sensitive: Kind (German) is not the same as kind (English, Danish, Dutch etc.) Also note that Wiktionary uses no parenthetic disambiguation, so where Wikipedia might have separate articles on Mercury (planet), Mercury (element), and Mercury (mythology), Wiktionary will only have one entry on Mercury which addresses proper noun uses, and an entry on mercury which addresses regular noun uses.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• Wiktionary Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to start a page
• Sandbox (our test area)
• Community Portal
• Formatting guidelines
• Criteria for inclusion
• What Wiktionary is not
• FAQ

Questionable entries will be listed for verification, and, if they fail that process, will be deleted. Also, keep in mind our copyright policies: don't copy material from copyrighted sources here. Such additions will be deleted on sight. Submissions from IP addresses are looked at more closely, unfortunately, so please take a minute to create an account.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question in the appropriate discussion room or ask me on my talk page.

Synonyms

Please see diff to see how synonyms are listed. Vininn126 (talk) 09:31, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

You're still not formatting as I requested and now you're giving english synonyms? Vininn126 (talk) 09:56, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

@Vininn126: First of all, hello. Thank you for the feedback on how to provide synonyms -- I have past Wikipedia experience, but not that much Wiktionary experience, so I was simply adding synonyms the way I saw it done elsewhere. I guess I must've unknowingly learned a bad pattern. I stand correct.

Now, regarding the "still not formatting as [you] requested", the "still" is just 25 minutes after the first message, which I didn't see because the yellow box kept on displaying following someone's earlier welcome message, so I've learned to ignore it. --128.127.93.15 11:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Quiet rollbacks

There is nothing "quiet" about using "undo". Furthermore, the defintion at pl.wikt is unsourced. Learn how Wiktionary works before throwing accusations. Vininn126 (talk) 11:08, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

@Vininn126: Polish Wiktionary does give a source. The old definition is equivalent to the 2nd bullet point of the new one, sans odd wording. The other one is, also, supported e.g. by [1] or DOI:10.17951/et.2019.31.227. Thanks --128.127.93.15 11:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC).

Please be aware of our WT:CFI as well as of the Use-Mention distinction - the definitions listed are only mentions, there aren't associated quotes. Vininn126 (talk) 11:47, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

@Vininn126: And let me add that lack of evidence is not evidence of a lack; the revert appears to have been done based purely on an assumption --128.127.93.15 11:47, 29 August 2023 (UTC).

Account

Despite the rocky start, I'd love to work together in the future and may I suggest you make an account? Changes you make would be tied to that permanently, as opposed to a mobile IP, and it'd make communication easier. Vininn126 (talk) 11:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

@Vininn126: Hey there, thanks for reaching out. I agree that it would be most practical, all things considered, to use a registered account for any substantial commitments. Should I decide to devote myself further and contribute some more, I'll certainly try to revive my old WP account or create a new one, and we could start from scratch. Regards --128.127.93.15 14:06, 30 August 2023 (UTC).
