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 explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. 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.
• The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
• A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
• If you have anything to ask about or suggest, we have several discussion rooms. Feel free to ask any other editors in person if you have any problems or question, by posting a message on their talk page.

You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Again, welcome!

papirología

Firstly, what's DPD? Secondly, isn't hyphenation supposed to break up a word into its syllables? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 17:28, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge DPD is Diccionario panhispánico de dudas, a normative dictionary created by the Royal Spanish Academy which prescribes things such as hyphenation and accentuation rules, among many other aspects of typographical syntax (ortotipografía).

In the Spanish Wiktionary we’ve been specifying the correct hyphenation (not always the same as syllable separation) of Spanish words according to the rules set forth in the Diccionario panhispánico de dudas (see, for example, es:engarmaría, for the hyphenation rule that applies to papirología). Now, I’m not sure if the English Wiktionary aims to indicate what are the hyphenation rules for other languages; and in papirología the syllables are already indicated by the dots in the IPA transcription. —Born2bgratis (talk) 18:13, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Hmmm, that's interesting. I really had no idea that the RAE had promulgated a hyphenation standard, or that any such standards existed besides those that break it up by syllable. I guess we should leave it the way you did it, then. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 18:57, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

WF?

Hi. Are you Wonderfool? --Celui qui crée ébauches de football anglais (talk) 21:14, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

No, I don’t think so 😂 —Born2bgratis (talk) 02:07, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Even if Cherokee is beginning to use a lowercase alphabet, that does not change the order of the syllabary. The statement "It is preceded by Ꭶ and followed by Ꭸ" remains true and should be kept. —Stephen ^(Talk) 00:41, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

@Stephen G. Brown I concur; I only removed it because none of the rest of the entries had it, so in this way this outlier was more consistent with the other pages. Besides, the statement seemed redundant to me given that it can be inferred already by the template {{character info/new}}, which has previous/next links. ―Born2bgratis (talk) 06:01, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Okay. I didn't look at other entries, but in other alphabets, such as Cyrillic, we do indicate the previous and following letters. It's not that important anymore because of the Unicode box. —Stephen ^(Talk) 11:15, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

it's all Greek to me

The Esperanto "ĝi estas por mi volapukaĵo" is SOP, i.e. its meaning is immediately deduced from its constituents. The Danish "det er græsk for mig" is just plain wrong.__Gamren (talk) 07:53, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

It’s a set phrase, so no SOP there. No opinion on the Danish. Born2bgratis (talk) 21:18, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

In addition to being SOP, it is unattested. Being invented in a compilation of proverbs and then never being used afterwards does not merit inclusion. However, it seems like a valid translation, so I suppose the way it is now is okay.__Gamren (talk) 07:17, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
