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.

Hi. "Related terms" is for words that have a related etymology, like "way" and "via". Otherwise, you might use "see also". Equinox ◑ 05:39, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Please don't accuse editors of mental illness

Thank you Purplebackpack89 15:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Mental illness isn't something a person gets "accused" of. It's a simple, honest observation, based on your behavior here.

As you know, I'm not the only one to make this observation. I repeat my suggestion to practice some introspection and get help if necessary.

When you're driving on a road and you constantly have to swerve to dodge maniacs that you think are driving the wrong way, maybe you should take a moment to consider that perhaps you're the one in the wrong lane. --Veikk0.ma (talk) 15:35, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Dude, I have had a classmate killed in a wrong-way car accident. Comparing anything we do here to killing people in a car accident is rather ridiculous. It's especially ridiculous because you act like I'm insane and ignore that plenty of other people with similar problems (or worse, tbh) get off scot-free Purplebackpack89 19:29, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Wow, that's some /r/thathappened material. You just keep digging further and further.

Was this classmate's name Albert Einstein, by any chance? I hope you'll excuse me for not getting up and clapping at your story.

Don't try to play the victim here. As demonstrated by your block, the people of Wiktionary don't buy into your BS.

I'm still not sure whether you're mentally ill or if your behavior is just an attempt to gain power or sympathy. But whichever it is, you should seek help. At the very least, you'll gain a better understanding of yourself and hopefully become a better person. --Veikk0.ma (talk) 02:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Also, for the benefit of others: this user has a long history of harassment on other Wikimedia projects. They're indef blocked on Simple English Wikipedia and have had multiple blocks on English Wikipedia.

This current bout here on Wiktionary seems to have started when they (falsely) accused Theknightwho of stalking and harassment and predictably, all the Knight haters and general admin bashers turned up there to post their walls of text to make their usual accusations. One user even unretired to make their first edit in almost 10 months just to have a chance to pile on.

The user then open a vote in an attempt to gain a weapon to use against the admin and to court more allies for his crusade against him. But the proposal was of low quality and the actual purpose behind it thinly veiled, so it didn't gain traction.

Derogatory comments regarding other editors

Greetings,

I am writing to formally warn you of violations of the Wikimedia Foundation's Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC), as well as Wiktionary policy on wiktionary:Civility.

You wrote a comment speculating on another editor's mental health, and suggested that they obtain treatment. It is extremely arrogant, judgemental and rude to speculate on the mental condition of an editor you don't know, much less give unsolicited medical advice. Please refrain from commenting on editors and stick to the content. Thank you.

I have redacted your comment appropriately, and I hope that I will not have occasion to do it again. Elizium23 (talk) 19:54, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

lol, nice try.

Just an FYI to anyone reading this: This guy is just a random editor trying to sound like someone with authority in an attempt to intimidate others.

Well, I say "a random editor". They're actually a very special person who got themselves indef blocked from enwiki due to disruptive editing with an anti-LGBT agenda, as well as making a disgusting comment about a 9-year-old.

Not sure if this is a coincidence, but the Purple user above has also been up to some mischief in the last couple of days, resulting in a block. And as demonstrated by their previous behavior and the behavior that resulted in the block, they appear to have some kind of a victim complex.

This does look suspicious to me. User A engages in bad behavior by starting a bad faith vote, user A gets scolded and told to stop as well as get help for whatever problem they have, a month later user A manages to get themselves blocked, and while they're blocked, user B (another user with a history of disruptive editing and only a handful of previous Wiktionary edits) shows up to "redact" aforementioned comments about user A and threaten the users who made them.

In any case, if they continue down this path, Elizium23 won't have the occasion to do this again, since they're likely to experience indefinite block. --Veikk0.ma (talk) 02:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

For the record there's no connection between Purplebackpack89 and Elizium23. Whatever else you may say about Purplebackpack89, block evading and lying about it aren't in their repertoire. Elizium23, on the other hand, just pulled one of the lamest attempts at block evasion I've seen in a long time, and so I've changed their block to infinite. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:04, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
