User talk:ContraVentum

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! --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 10:57, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

BabelBox Welcome

No problem, so feel free to edit it however you like it. By the way, would you like to expand the words stof and sav? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 11:07, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

tryde and rinde

Hello, I have something to share.

An anonymous visitor added tryde, possibly not knowing that it is a Danish verb. I gave it the proper entry format, but SemperBlotto deleted it. Would you like to add it? As for rinde, feel free to add its Old Danish source. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 19:21, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Done [3] [4]. --ContraVentum (talk) 21:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Give knurre, tappe and tap a go as well. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 11:59, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

feile and entry maintenance

Have a look at feile and Category:Danish entries needing definition as part of a hobby. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 09:45, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

knar

In the entry knar, you've marked knor [6] as Old Danish (gmw-oda), but also as dated. Which is it? "Dated" is for things that recently stopped being used (within or very close to within living memory). Old Danish is a separate stage of the language, and AFAIK those are treated as separate and get their own L2 headers, etc (compare Middle English to English). If knor and knarr are Old Danish, they would seem to belong in the etymology section and not as alternative forms. - -sche (discuss) 16:23, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Holy hell, my bad! Sorry. Failed copypasta... & I forgot to proofread. I'll fix it immediately. It's of course modern Danish, Old Danish is the Danish language spoken around 1100-1500. The in the entries mentioned source, Ordbog over det danske Sprog, covers 1700-1950, i.e. modern Danish. --ContraVentum (talk) 17:17, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Hungarian entries

I had to reverse your incorrect etymology edits in several Hungarian entries. Where did you get the information? I don't see Hungarian in your Babel box. Please stop modifying Hungarian entries. --Panda10 (talk) 13:21, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Proto-Germanic

Thank you for your work on the Proto-Germanic section! Es ist sehr gut. GoodSpeller2015 (talk) 01:28, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

tryde?

Are you sure this is modern Danish? fortryde on ODS says it is Old Danish, and the only cite I can find is an old dialectal dictionary.__Gamren (talk) 14:56, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
