A couple of notes, and a welcome

There are some things that we do differently on Wiktionary that you should be aware of:

• We're a descriptive dictionary, so if something is used in a certain language, we include it- even if it's clearly wrong. We tag incorrect entries with things like {{context|proscribed}}, or {{misspelling of}}, so people will know not to use it if they care about it being judged incorrect.
• We try to avoid redirects most of the time, because we can have many languages with terms spelled with the same letters. The only time we would use a redirect is when we're certain that no other language anywhere will have a term spelled the same. Instead, we'll use things like {{alternate spelling of}} or {{misspelling of}} to link to the correct form.

Those are just what I've noticed by skimming through your recent edits. I don't speak the language, so I don't have any idea about the content. I'm mentioning this so you won't unintentionally create problems for others to clean up- I'm not implying that you're deliberately doing anything wrong. I might as well give you our standard welcome message, since we're always glad to have new contributors, and it will give you lots of information about editing here.

Thanks. I'm an experienced Wikipedia editor, but I'm not too familiar with Wiktionary policies -- obviously. I didn't know about the redirect rule. As for my entry at len, it's a hypercorrection: such misspelling is unlikely for a native speaker of Serbian (and the entry was created by a Croatian speaker). Just as if a BrEn speaker would write treatize writing an AmEn text, by reasoning "Yanks always use -ize". No such user (talk) 14:24, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
