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! --Apisite (talk) 20:55, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Ancient Greek entries

Hi, thanks for adding several entries in Ancient Greek! Please be more careful with them, though.

1. Instead of λιθουργός (using U+03CC GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH TONOS, i.e. the acute accent) you wrote "λιθουργὁς" (using U+1F41 GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH DASIA, i.e. the rough breathing); you also labeled it Greek rather than Ancient Greek (we use "Greek" to mean modern Greek).
2. Instead of ὀνείρειος you wrote "ὀνεἱρειοϛ" again using the rough breathing instead of the acute accent, and also using U+03DB GREEK SMALL LETTER STIGMA instead of U+03C2 GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA.
3. Instead of περικάκησις you wrote "περικἁκησις", again using the rough breathing instead of the acute accent, and you labeled it English rather than Ancient Greek.
4. And instead of ὀρθοδίκαιος you wrote "ὀρθο-δíκαιος", using a hyphen that is not found in Ancient Greek texts (dictionaries sometimes use it just to show the parts of the compound, but we at Wiktionary don't do that) and using U+00ED LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH ACUTE instead of U+03AF GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS.

I know the letters can be hard to distinguish on a computer screen, but it is essential to use the right character in each word. If you're unsure, please ask don't hesitate to ask for help. —Mahāgaja · talk 10:18, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
