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.

Formatting

Hi, when you add new entries, please format them like this. It is the preferred way according to WT:NORM. — Eru·tuon 22:09, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Related terms

"Related terms" is not for related topics: it's for words that have a related history, like vale and valley. For related topics where the words are not related, you can use a "See also" header. Equinox ◑ 22:24, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok. Mayon V (talk) 22:26, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

kudos!

Congratulations on creating so many helpful entries! We appreciate your hard work. However I wish to bring to your attention, if you have not seen it already, one item which has been questioned here:

Wiktionary:Requests_for_verification/Non-English#kudos

Thank you, —Soap— 13:56, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

What you have read on the definition of 'kudos' in Bikol Central is true.

I am a native speaker of Bikol Central.

However the pronunciation is different in English. There is a glottal stop on the first syllable.

The syllables are when hyphenated per syllable: ku-dos. Mayon V (talk) 04:59, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

By the way, it has no exact translation in English. Mayon V (talk) 04:59, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Place names

I see you've added a lot of place names in the Philippines in English, but the big problems with them is you're not using the {{place}} template, which does not only automatically create definitions, but also automates categorization. I’m fixing a lot of these, adding translations where possible. Also, in the case of cities, please avoid using specialized terms like "highly urbanized city" and "component city"; these are mostly administrative jargon, and saying "city" or "independent city" (basically, that's what a HUC is) should make things easier for this dictionary's wider readership, not just Filipinos.
