Welcome
[edit]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!

[edit]Your Middle English terms have no ===part of speech=== entries, and no headwords. They will get deleted if not corrected. SemperBlotto (talk) 20:03, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

- It's been a year and you are still making the same mistakes. Can you please pay more attention? You may be blocked if this continues... —CodeCat 03:34, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
- These are now going to be deleted. How many warnings do you need? SemperBlotto (talk) 07:05, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

I've had to delete this entry as it does not meet the minimum formatting standards. There is a reason why you were provided with the welcome message. Read it. Peruse it. Especially WT:ELE. Unfortuantely due to the sparseness of adminstrators on this site, we are unable to be always able to guide you with doing things. It will be up to yourself to go through existing entries with the help of guides to create proper entries. Thanks. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 23:07, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Can you fix the formatting please? —CodeCat 18:08, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
