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.

Thanks

Coming by to say thank you for translating all these usage examples. Keep up the good work! PUC – 13:59, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

No problem. Weylaway (talk) 18:38, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Yes, good work, I'd just like to point out that it's nonstandard to include 2 translations using a ⟨br⟩ tag. It's better to just pick one translation. If you really need to add more content, there's also the |footer= parameter. Jberkel 23:34, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I'll avoid doing that. Weylaway (talk) 15:13, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks (2)

Thanks for catching those few sloppy copy-and-paste errors I made while I was rushing to work through my to-do list of articles to create :) . · • SUM1 • · (talk) 05:14, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Buck Rogers time

Greetings Weylaway,

Should we classify this entry as a noun or a proper noun? newfiles (talk) 22:08, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I'd say a noun - "Buck Rogers" is a proper noun, but it's a premodifier inside a larger noun phrase. And "Buck Rogers time" doesn't refer to one specific entity. Weylaway (talk) 22:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Sounds good, thank you. newfiles (talk) 22:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
