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! Ultimateria (talk) 18:15, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Sanskrit

Hi, I see you've been making many edits for Sanskrit, which in itself is a good thing because not many are active on Sanskrit, but I also see you're making several mistakes, for example for verb conjugations. The template to be used is preferably 'sa-conj', the others are likely to show mistakes. Or you can simply add {{rfinfl|sa}} instead of the conjugation and then I'll have a look at it later. Exarchus (talk) 20:24, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for informing. Jeaucques Quœure (talk) 07:41, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

I now noticed that you created the verb द्रोग्धि (drogdhi), which doesn't exist, and you also moved रोदिति (roditi) to रुदति (rudati), but both those verbs exist. Please be more careful there, thanks.

I also updated the documentation for the 'sa-conj' template, notice the special case of a deponent verb like इन्द्धे (inddhe) (I understand that this is a rather counter-intuitive way to provide the strong stem).

The perfect सास (sāsa) you gave at सस्ति (sasti) was also wrong and in principle the idea is that the perfect, aorist, etc. get their own page instead of being mentioned at the present verb (with the overview being at the root page), but as you can see there's still lots of work to do to have this implemented everywhere.

Page creation and attestation

Hi, Jeaucques Quœure. I noticed you created a page, but the sources you provided do not support the definitions you gave. The term doesn't seem to actually exist and mean what was claimed. I don't know if this is because of a misunderstanding or perhaps because of depending on an LLM 'AI' text generator, as you have done on a different Wikimedia project (permanent link), but it's something that needs to not happen. If you have been using LLM text generators to create page content, please stop doing so, because that results in situations like this: a page created about a word that doesn't actually exist. Per Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion, terms pages must be about attested terms, not invented ones. Hydrangeans (talk) 07:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Likewise with orthodoxissimus. The linked sources do not verify the term. Hydrangeans (talk) 07:15, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Similar at the page अक्ष्ण. The etymology is complete fiction. The Vedic accent is fiction. The word isn't mentioned by Macdonell. Monier-Williams only gives this as 'n.', so as neuter noun. Whether words like this should be on Wiktionary at all is debatable, given it only seems mentioned in Sanskrit dictionaries.

Given that Jeaucques Quœure hasn't responded to the previous remarks by @Hydrangeans, I propose an IMMEDIATE BAN. Exarchus (talk) 15:24, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, I didn't realise that about neuter noun. I felt it redirected to the defined word (अखण्ड). Also, I do not read each individual dictionary to cite words if it attested in either of them. Jeaucques Quœure (talk) 18:09, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Ok, but the idea of 'References' is that this is where you got the info from.

Some other examples of errors on Sanskrit pages:

- at अग्नीध् you gave the Vedic pronunciation as accented on the first syllable

- you are giving the template for Monier-Williams as {{R:MW|6|1}} when this should be {{R:MW|6/1}} or {{R:MW|6|col=1}}

- I have no idea where you got शतन् as "100" from Exarchus (talk) 18:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

And I can't find स्फूर्छन (sphūrchana) or स्फूर्छा (sphūrchā) [given at स्फूर्छ्] anywhere, certainly not in the given references. Exarchus (talk) 18:47, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Every attestation need not be in the references. Jeaucques Quœure (talk) 03:03, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

As दशन् is cognate with decem, शतन् is cognate with centum. Jeaucques Quœure (talk) 03:05, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

That's really a baffling statement. Exarchus (talk) 09:01, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

"I do not read each individual dictionary to cite words": You don't even read the sources you list as references? That's unacceptable. It's hard to read this as anything other than an acknowledgment that you're making up words and listing random references to cover your tracks. Hydrangeans (talk) 00:58, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, if you already raised my not-so-pro-editing standards. I might not meet it. So, it could be better for you to dismiss me with prejudice. Jeaucques Quœure (talk) 03:22, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
