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) 18:05, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Formatting errors

Why are you referencing the Etymological Dictionary of the Altaic Languages for Caucasian etymologies? PS. Please slow down and read our formatting conventions in the links I posted above and look at other proto-entries before you proceed. You are making too many mistakes. --Vahag (talk) 18:13, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

because I didnt find one for Caucasian etymologies. would you create one for such purpose please? — This unsigned comment was added by Lhokymaes (talk • contribs).

It's {{R:cau:NCED}}. --Vahag (talk) 20:05, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

берг

The Chechen *берг (*berg) you had so boldly created is attested only in the compound цӏокъберг (cʼoqʼberg). It cannot have an entry in the main namespace. --Vahag (talk) 18:24, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

ok, move it to цӏокъберг (cʼoqʼberg) then. — This unsigned comment was added by Lhokymaes (talk • contribs).

I don't want to bother. You shouldn't create entries in languages you are not familiar with. --Vahag (talk) 20:05, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

*bHV̆rgĂ

I have deleted your Proto-North-Caucasian entry, because you copied it in whole from Nikolayev, Starostin. That is a copyright violation. You also made a lot of formatting mistakes. --Vahag (talk) 18:27, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

ok, then delete only the so called "copyright violation", not the whole entry please! — This unsigned comment was added by Lhokymaes (talk • contribs).

All of it was a copyright violation. Don't simply copy from the Tower of Babel. --Vahag (talk) 20:05, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

I have restored the entry. Please work on it. --Vahag (talk) 17:50, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Again, a fringe theory is a fringe theory; therefore "less plausible" is completely valid. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 11:27, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Exactly because of this reason I deleted this unsourced fringe theory.--Lhokymaes (talk) 22:35, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

The "less plausible" part precisely shows that the theories connecting the term to Turkic or Celtic terms are fringe theories, because they are. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 22:37, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
