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:

We took out the conjugation information on the headword lines when we added conjugation tables below. So, please don't re-add them. Ƿidsiþ 06:26, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello, and thanks for contributing! Please consider adding a BabelBox to your userpage so we know what languages you're familiar with. Thanks --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Please note three things. Two of them you can see in the edit I made to the French section after you: (1) the {{informal}} needs |lang=fr to be listed as French rather than English, and (2) you should always link words in the translation. The third thing is a little more subtle: when you define French blond as blond, you need to link to the English section. You can do this with: ] when you're on the same page. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:28, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
When you nest a pronunciation section inside a numbered etymology section, make sure the header-levels are right:
===Etymology 1=== ====Pronunciation==== ====Noun==== =====Synonyms===== ====Verb==== =====Derived terms===== ===Etymology 2=== ====Pronunciation==== ====Noun====
Do you see what I mean?

Thank you for adding the table, but I think it is incomplete. What about the form that is ancestral to modern English hight? —CodeCat 03:00, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Please note that you can't just put any random language codes in {{etyl}}. Put the code of the language being derived from first, and then the one that takes it. See this change. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Correctly formatting your entries is really important, as it allows for greater usability and aids in upkeep of the dictionary. Please see the changes I made here. Most important is that you should use templates in your etymologies (and provide the etymon where possible), and that the definition should be linked. Also, French pronunciation is now automatically generated (see {{fr-IPA}}). Thanks. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:35, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Please don't add IPA transcriptions like /bəˈtʁuɡ/ for Betrug. Regarding /u/ instead of /uː/, you're technically right, but we always keep the length marks in order not to confuse anyone. Regarding the /ɡ/, you're simply wrong. There is no phonemic word-final voicing in German. The fact that underlying voicing surfaces in inflected forms is a purely grammatical phenomenon, not a phonetic one. Kolmiel (talk) 20:37, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your work, but could you stop use {{etyl}}? This template has been deprecated and replaced by {{der}}. --Barytonesis (talk) 21:29, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
{{der}} sometimes (force of habit), but in cases like zeis (or generally with English lemmata where a Middle English etymon is given), where there is more than one form to be given, {{der}} (or indeed {{inh}}, which is what I would have liked to have used in that case) does not provide a way (to my knowledge) to give more than one form. -Coreydragon (talk) 21:55, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
{{der}}/{{inh}} for the first form, and keep {{m}} for the remainder. —Rua (mew) 22:21, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
I have reverted your edits to Armenian pronunciations, because all of them were wrong. Do you speak Armenian? --Vahag (talk) 16:16, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for adding IPA for lurker. I noticed it contains, /ɜɹ/, which I don't see in the English pronunciation appendix, so it looks to me like it should be changed to /ɛɹ/? —Darxus (talk) 20:19, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello, and thanks for templatising these etymologies. In most cases, we should actually remove any mention of "apocope" and only leave "clipping": please see this discussion and this edit. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 10:00, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
