Welcome Message
[edit]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.
Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! --Apisite (talk) 04:21, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
careful with expressions with multiple verbs
[edit]I see you are going through and adding lots of verb conjugations. This is fine, but be careful with cases like bite the hand that feeds one. The following might help you: Some of them need |head= or links added but the conjugations should be correct.
