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!

P.S. Check out what I did to the entry Warmduscher. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 01:33, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Dear Lo Ximiendo, thanks for the help with the article about Warmduscher. I noticed that you replaced "References" by "Further reading". I used the term "References" because that is what has been suggested at Wiktionary:Entry_layout#A_very_simple_example. If you believe that "Further reading" is better, then you might also want to change the example given at Wiktionary:Entry_layout#A_very_simple_example. --Hyperhero (talk) 01:40, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Check out the News for Editors, under the section for the April of 2017, and add that newspaper to your watch-list. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 08:48, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Formatting etc

[edit]

Hi. Thanks for your additions. Please see the changes I have made at Kotzefresser. Here are the important notes:

  • Please use templates to format your etymologies, like {{compound}}.
  • Context labels should only be used at the beginning of a definition line, and synonymous parts (like "puke" for "vomit" need not be given.
  • "Further reading" is for, well, further reading — dictionaries or other academic sources. Examples of use can be given as citations, but just linking to a book is not too useful.

Please ask if you have any further questions. Thanks! —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:49, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dear Μετάknowledge, thanks for letting me know about the template for compounds; I was not aware of this template. You removed the three links in "Further reading". Initially I added these links because I thought that it is always required to provide three sources to prove the existence of a word. So what is the best way to prove that the word Kotzefresser actually exists? Thanks --Hyperhero (talk) 18:03, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
There are two parts to this:
  • Firstly, it's not sources, but quotations that show use in three independent, durably archived sources (like books or films). These quotations are placed under the entry. 'Further reading' is for other sources like dictionaries that could give more information about the word.
  • It is only required that those quotations exist, but they don't have to be placed in the entry unless someone challenges it. In the mean time, if lots of books clearly use the word, there's no need to add quotations from three of them to the entry. You can if you want, but if you do, they should be formatted properly.

Dear Μετάknowledge, thanks for the clarification. I thought that that I always have to include links in the article to prove the existence of the word. Now I moved the three links to Talk:Kotzefresser. Is this acceptable?--Hyperhero (talk) 18:25, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
That's fine. Again, if you want to include them in the entry as quotations, you can do that following the guidelines at WT:QUOTE. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:58, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

made me smile. I'd help out by translating the Hyperhero poem except my German is so terrible there are a couple of lines I don't even understand. Equinox 20:39, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for reading my site. I hope you liked it. By the way, at http://www.hyperhero.com/en/poem.htm there is already an English version of the poem.--Hyperhero (talk) 20:49, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

List

[edit]

This is a list of German Schimpfwörter/insults/etc. I uploaded this list so that I can easily see which of these words are already included in the Wiktionary (blue links), and which ones might be considered for inclusion (red links).
