Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

  • How to edit a page 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.
  • 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 do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
  • Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
  • The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
  • We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

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! Tempodivalse [talk] 01:17, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Rollback

[edit]

You now have the rollbacker bit here, given your reversion of vandalism. Use it well. --Neskayagawonisgv? 09:44, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

unreferenced

[edit]

While references are important for our content, it is kind-of pointless to add {{unreferenced}} to an entry whose sole content is its definition and part of speech (POS), as you did to, e.g., [[olericulture]]. If you doubt the definition is correct, request verification (i.e., attestation, primary sources that use the word, which is different from references, secondary sources that discuss the word) by use of {{rfv}}. Otherwise, there's nothing to reference, so no point in tagging it as"unreferenced". My standard welcome to WPans has more info on the differences between here and WP, of which the difference in emphases on citation is just one. I hope that this helps. Please feel free to come to me with any questions.​—msh210 16:25, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
