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! --Vahag (talk) 06:47, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Armenian entries

[edit]

I note that you are doing a original research. For example, you invented the word թս (tʻs) and listed impossible Armenian descendants [1], [2] of PIE roots. Please stop doing that. Wiktionary does not prohibit original research, but it is reserved for experienced editors only. Your original research is all wrong. --Vahag (talk) 07:55, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Stop use {{etyl}}

[edit]

It is deprecated. Use {{der}}, {{bor}}, {{inh}}. It is less writing, more information, and looks better. Palaestrator verborum sis loquier 🗣 22:25, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Also, you did not even use that correctly. You cannot just copy etymologies but have to adjust them to the language code of the language you add the etymology for. Palaestrator verborum sis loquier 🗣 22:29, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

եզն

[edit]

Armenian ե- (e-) cannot come from PIE *h₂e-. --Vahag (talk) 10:29, 5 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Derivatives vs. Descendents

[edit]

You're making the mistake all over of confusing derivatives and descendents terms. Descendents are the result of morphological changes of the descendent language, while derivatives have additional prefixes and suffixes, etc. --Victar (talk) 15:20, 16 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

PIE reconstructions

[edit]

Corgame3, please only create PIE entries when the term has more than one descendent. Also, please only create reconstructions with sources. --Victar (talk) 22:46, 21 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Corgame3, you need to add sources to you're reconstruction entries[1][2][3][4][5] or they will be subject to deletion. --Victar (talk) 23:19, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Corgame3, to clarify, having sources for the reconstructions in the descendants section is great, but probably unnecessary if the have their own entries with the same sources there. What is paramount is that you add sources for the actual PIE reconstruction. --Victar (talk) 19:16, 2 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
You've yet to source the entries above nor respond and continue to add incomplete and unsourced reconstructions. --Victar (talk) 12:31, 4 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
