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.

Replacing the word "castaway" with the word "waive" to make a citation is fraudulent and ridiculous. The original text does not use that word there. Equinox ◑ 20:31, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- It is not ridiculous. I showed the sentence is based on the other one, and the words are synonyms. The sentence is correct.
- You cannot quote an author's book and change what they wrote. See citation. Equinox ◑ 20:41, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- You could change the way I put it there. But I did not left it without saying the sentence was BASED on the other text, and was it clearly was not a quote. And thanks for blocking me for nothing.... I don't even know why I started editting, anyway.
