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! Equinox ◑ 13:14, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

How to create a Wikipedia article

Hi,

I'm sorry that your introduction to the Wikimedia family of sites has not gone perfectly (mostly due to confusing Wiktionary, the dictionary, for Wikipedia, the encyclopedia). I believe you have a great potential to contribute though. You might want to take a look at: wikipedia:Help:Your first article, which explains how you can create articles on the English Wikipedia. It may also be a good idea to start by editing articles a bit first, before diving into creating new ones.

Thank you for reaching out. I expected my first contribution to be rejected in all honesty. But it has indeed been beneficial in learning, so it is not in vain. I'm very impressed with the community response to my article contribution, as well as my direct messages with a couple other editors. I just needed to see how the community works, and this small step forward has helped me in that understanding. Also, thank you for recognizing potential. I feel welcomed, and that is important to me.
