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! Ultimateria (talk) 21:53, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

etyl template

Hey Raphael, thanks for your additions to the entry Bonifacio! Just a heads up: the {{etyl}} template has been deprecated. We now use {{derived}} as a catch-all etymological derivation template, with {{borrowed}}, {{inherited}} etc. for more specific cases. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 10:40, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

French additions like Guetta

Hi. Please put the Pronunciation section directly after the Etymology section, not at the end. Thanks! Benwing2 (talk) 04:08, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Translations

Hi. Do you speak these languages or are you just copying translations from elsewhere (not a good idea)? For example the Scots "Federal Republic o Nigerie" sounds like it might be part of the Scots_Wikipedia#Controversy. Equinox ◑ 09:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

I have to echo what eq said here; do not add translations the way you have been adding them. It's clear you're just copying from Wikipedia which is not something we accept necessarily. It's ridiculous to think that Old English had a term for Jefferson County. Stop. Vininn126 (talk) 15:22, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
