Welcome

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! --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 18:02, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Low German

Why do you keep adding "some dialects including Low Prussian"?ᚲᛟᚱᚾ (talk) 14:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Wiktionary combines all dialects of Low German except Template:pdt under the ==Low German== header; the dialects are distinguished by context tags. When forms I add are limited to Low Prussian, I mark them as "Low Prussian"; when they're used in some other dialects, I write "some dialects, including Low Prussian". When I can name specific other dialects, like "Mecklenburgisch", I do that. It helps people to know which dialects use the form or word. Bleifrei (talk) 22:58, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

If you do not see it fit to make a difference between Plautdietsch and Plattdeutsch, you might want to propose a merge of both. (see this discussion). And concerning your standardisation of Low German entries... (Grag -> graag) ...while I would prefer if there were some in the manner of Old-languages, I think it would be more beneficial if there was a discussion beforehand since it is not only a difficult but also a very touchy topic. The current policy is not to give 'alternative spellings' in order not to elevate a single group's or even editor's (no accusation intended) personal tastes into a pseudo-standard.Korn (talk) 13:39, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
