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!

Thanks for posting, but note that we don't include every company name here. Take a look at some of the links above and let me know if you have any questions. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:36, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

burly's Swedish translation

Please do not use vaguely documented slang words as primary terms of translations for common words. There are plenty of direct synonyms in the dictionary to choose from. Rossig is only found in one article in all the internet, with its own dictionary to understand the speaker. Kind regards, ➢ Frodlekis (Talk❤) 18:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Improper additions to term trees

Blockhaj, you were reverted because you added an Old Irish term as a direct descendant of Proto-West Germanic, and an Old High German term under Proto-Germanic, when it's already under the Proto-West Germanic entry below it. --{{victar|talk}} 02:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

These cannot be listed on several entries cuz? Blockhaj (talk) 02:23, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

No, and Old Irish doesn't descend from Proto-West Germanic. --{{victar|talk}} 05:35, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

This specific word does: https://www.etymonline.com/word/snake, https://www.saob.se/artikel/?seek=snok&pz=1. Blockhaj (talk) 05:39, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Neither page claims that. Please do not edit languages you do not understand. --{{victar|talk}} 05:51, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
