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!

Hello. Only English entries get to have ===Translations=== section. I moved your translations to Clementi. --Vahagn Petrosyan 14:19, 4 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

If this is a specific person, it should be delete. If it's a given name (like George Bush - not George Bush) it should just say that in the article. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:38, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

topical categories

[edit]

To help keep the topical categories, such as Category:ta:Foods which you created in sync, we have a template that not only adds the parents automatically, but adds a description as well. {{topic cat|lang=ta|current=Foods}} is the preferred way of creating that category. — Carolina wren discussió 18:38, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Tamil nouns

[edit]

For Tamil nouns, you can use {{ta-noun}}. It does the same thing as {{infl | ta | noun }}, but it also has a special tool built in to help people whose computer may not show Tamil script correctly. It also allow you to include the transcription in the template with tr=, so you don't have to add the parentheses. You can see how to use the template at விலங்கியல், where I have put it in. --EncycloPetey 23:29, 12 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Indian Supplement

[edit]

Do you have a source for this? I haven't been able to substantiate it (doesn't appear in the Unicode 5.2 charts, etc.). Thanks, -- Visviva 04:18, 21 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

{{topic cat}}

[edit]

Hi, please use this template. By the way, is English your first language??? 50 Xylophone Players talk 12:35, 23 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Singapore place names in Armenian

[edit]

Hello. Where do you get Armenian forms of Singapore place names like Պասիր Րիս or Ձուրոնգ Արևելք? Looks like you are transliterating those by yourself, and often incorrectly. --Vahagn Petrosyan 04:41, 2 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Triwikanto, I have to ask you to stop creating those Armenian place names. Almost all of your entries are spelled against Armenian orthography rules. You cannot transliterate placenames without knowing both languages well enough. If it makes you feel better I promise to add all South Asian placenames which have a standard and accepted spelling in Armenian one day. --Vahagn Petrosyan 14:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
I am tired of cleaning up Armenian entries after you: please, desist from editing Armenian until you learn more about it's orthography. --Vahagn Petrosyan 15:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
I had to block you. Reluctantly. Please, learn the Armenian alphabet, otherwise do not make Armenian entries. --Vahagn Petrosyan 21:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Lastest warning: please, do not edit Armenian until you have learned it. --Vahagn Petrosyan 10:12, 19 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Placenames in Kannada

[edit]

Please refrain from adding transliterations to place names in Kannada, your recent transliteration of ಜುಱೊಙ್ ಪೂರ್ವ was completely incorrect. Where the hell did you get the g from when there is no g consonant in the entire word? Furthermore, you did not transliterate the first word correctly. No g consonant and the second consonant is a depreciated consonant that is ṟa. Again, please do not add any more place names in Kannada, or for that matter, ANY place names as I do not believe that you have the ability to correctly transliterate them. Thank you, Razorflame 03:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Molotov cocktail

[edit]

I am curious why you moved Molotov cocktail to the lowercase molotov cocktail. I am pretty sure that it is meant to be capitalized as the "Molotov" part is from a person's name. - [The]DaveRoss 02:36, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
