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!
Please try to get things straight in your mind before you create an entry: your entry for hereweg was ostensibly English, but you gave a dictionary of Old English (we don't call it Anglo-Saxon) as a reference, gave the Old Norse cognate listed in that reference as an alternate plural, and, in what might have been the etymology- but which you formatted as a definition- you wiki-linked to a Wikipedia article that wasn't clear about whether the term was Old English or English. Not only that, but you had two separate definitions that were basically variations of the same thing.
While there may be modern English usage out there, I couldn't find any- so I made an Old English article out of it to be on the safe side, and trimmed it down to the bare bones. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:39, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
