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.

бабье лето

Cognate does not mean the same as "derived from". If this really is derived from Polish and not cognate with it then the etymology should be updated. Acolyte of Ice (talk) 10:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

• Actually I admit that I can't say for sure if the Russian term is definitely derived from the Polish. Just babie lato and бабье лето (lit. '(old) woman's summer') look quite similar. According to Altweibersommer, the term has Western European (German?) origin, such terms were often appeared in literary Russian via Polish. But, then again, I am not 100 percent sure, so I'd likely remove the category. --Wolverène (talk) 10:38, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

i reverted your edit on dough without realizing i was reverting someone. it's our house style ... English definitions are capitalized and have periods at the end, even if the definition is a single word, whereas other languages' entries are defined with lowercase sentence fragments, most likely because they often point to an English word rather than being a full definition in place. there are a few exceptions, for example alternate spellings are "not really a definition" and so can begin with lowercase words and lack terminal periods, though i admit we're inconsistent even here.

Thank you, I have never known. I will take note of this for the further work. All the best, --Wolverène (talk) 05:46, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
