User talk:11achitturi

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! --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 04:39, 7 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Place four hyphens between entries of different languages just like I did to one of your entries. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 02:12, 5 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

For example, have a look at नयन, where I placed the Marathi word before the Sanskrit word and placed the four hyphens between them. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 02:16, 5 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. It would be useful if you could add a Wiktionary:Babel box to your User page, just so other editors know what languages you're comfortable in. Thanks. Ƿidsiþ 19:38, 25 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I don't know if you learned from past mistakes already or not but just note that when using {{head}} you must specify to full POS like : {{head|sa|adjective}} as opposed to {{head|sa|adj}}. Thanks for your contributions. :) User: PalkiaX50 ^{talk to meh} 13:05, 28 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yep, I realized what I was doing. Thanks! 11achitturi (talk) 17:59, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Looks like a lot of Sanskrit in etymologies. It would be great if you could go through these. Thanks! --Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:42, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'll give it a shot.11achitturi (talk) 17:59, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks so much! --Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 18:00, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Please remember to use this feature, because it automatically categorises entries by etymology. Thanks! —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 06:08, 24 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I noticed that your keyboard is not correct for Urdu. For example, you spelled this word جوكھمي (with ك (k) and ي (y)). Correct would be جوکھمی (with ک (k) and ی (ī)). The ك (k) and ي (y) are readable by Urdus, but it is not the correct spelling. If you use Microsoft Windows, you should have the correct Urdu keyboard available in your control panel. —Stephen ^(Talk) 12:51, 29 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

It should be avoided because it allows user-submitted content, and contains many made-up words and meanings (you can look up e.g. internet or America). There is a dozen or so other dictionaries to link to. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 03:37, 6 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
