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.

I see you do a lot of good work here. Would you add {{Babel}} to your user page? It is not mandatory, just useful. Or you could enter anything into your user page so that it no longer appears as a redlink. Happy contributing. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Greetings, heads up: {{cs-IPA}} is not fully automatic and it does not properly handle "ti" in words of foreign origin, e.g. anti- and antika. One has to provide a manual markup in these kinds of situations, like "anty-" and "antyka". Thank you for all your cs-IPA contributions. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:15, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
Please don't create entries for words that are unattested. The name "Kenya" has only been recorded since the 19th century, so there cannot possibly have been an Old English term for it. Read WT:ATTEST for more information; I've deleted the entry now. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 14:09, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
Non-lemma forms should not be split by etymology. It's already clear from the definition which term they belong to. Instead, they should be grouped under a single etymology section which contains {{nonlemma}}. Can you remove all non-lemmas from Category:Polish terms with multiple etymologies and change the entries accordingly? —Rua (mew) 15:58, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
I noticed you're creating all the Polish inflections by hand. Would it help if I enabled the automatic creation of entries with WT:ACCEL? You only need to click the link to the form then and it automatically fills in the wikitext, you only have to check it and save. —Rua (mew) 19:16, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
I noticed that on deblo, both the Serbo-Croatian and the Slovene categories are placed in the Slovene section. The categories for each language should go in their own language section. —Rua (mew) 10:29, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
This template does not handle multiple-word entries well (see Gorzów Wielkopolski). Could you fix it? İʟᴀᴡᴀ–Kᴀᴛᴀᴋᴀ (talk) (edits) 00:34, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Gorz%C3%B3w_Wielkopolski&diff=prev&oldid=53829646 I don't know how to fix the template itself, sorry! Hergilei (talk) 01:02, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for your work, but I have a question: why are you cancelling reflexive forms of the Polish verbs, like in word jebać? First, you leaved doubled words, second I don't see a clear motive of doing that if f.ex. in Russian derived terms word ебать there are also reflexive formss, without problems, like съебаться. Third: reflexive forms are important because the word can change meaning thanks to that - f.ex. word zjebać się can have meaning "to fart" but zjebać without się hasn't it.

Virile (the grammatical gender) and męskoosobowy (the Polish equivalent) are not the same thing. Virile is strictly plural and used to describe a group with at least one man, whereas męskoosobowy is either singular or plural (the singular's equivalent in English is masculine personal). Your recent edits to entries such as ciążowego are therefore technically incorrect. This is however not an urgent issue as the affected entries are still understandable. I would also leave it to a bot to make the relevant corrections since you edited well over a hundred entries in this manner (impressive commitment by the way). I can reach out to a bot for you if you want me to do so. İʟᴀᴡᴀ–Kᴀᴛᴀᴋᴀ (talk) (edits) 23:05, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
Hey there. As you are making lots of entries for Czech verb forms, perhaps you'd like to user a speedier process (using a bot). --Mélange a trois (talk) 21:12, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Greetings, I for one do not appreciate empty declension sections containing requests for declension such as the one added in diff. Others will disagree. Surely, if we wanted to have such sections, these could be created by bots. On a related note, vote Wiktionary:Votes/2014-12/Adding RFEs to all lemma entries where etymology is missing failed unanimously. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:41, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
Heads up: sometimes the word is not in SSJC or PSJC, hence my diff. One has to check. Great to see you adding PSJC and SSJC to FR to Czech entries in volume. --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:26, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
{{R:KNLA}}. (Keep up the good job.) --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:33, 16 February 2020 (UTC){{R:ASCS}} is tricky: it points to prirucka.ujc.cas.cz, which then often but not always has Akademický slovník cizích slov; in fact, only words of foreign origin are expected to be in that dictionary. Hence my diff. They way to check is to search for "ASCS" on the target page; it is found e.g. in entry pelargonie; when you click on "ASCS" there, the content of ASCS appears. --Dan Polansky (talk) 05:49, 4 April 2020 (UTC)Hi,
You have to be a bit more careful when adding terms to explicit categories. There is nothing in the word бузотёр (buzotjór) to refer to men. It may also be a woman, e.g. you can say "Она такой бузотёр!" even if feminine forms may also exist: бузотёрша, бузотёрка. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:57, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Greetings, what makes you think that Czech snadný is from snad + -ný? It seems pretty unobvious to me. Rejzek 2001 has entry "snad přísl. snadný, ", thereby linking the two words, but that does not seem to indicate that snadný is necessarily from snad + -ný. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:45, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi. i saw your contributions to the surname Gołach, i was wondering if you knew anything about it, as I know its extremely rare and id love to find the origin of it. Paris889 (talk) 20:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Hergilei (talk) 21:01, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
As for diff: Jan Kameníček started to use -o- and I think it is a good practice. It seems much better to use -o- than to provide trivial combining forms for many words. Any noun or adjective used as the first item in compounding would need a combining form, where the combining form arises fairly trivially by attaching -o-; thus kočka --> kočko-, jih --> jiho-, volný --> volno-, černý --> černo, etc. --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:17, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
Czech proudění is proudit + -ení rather than proudit + -ění. The thing is, proudit is prouďit pronunciation-wise, resulting in prouďení, which is then spelled as proudění. --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:39, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
diff seems implausible to me and is not supported by Slovnik afixu. --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:45, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
Apart from the support from the source, the principle that, say, houbařka = houba + -ařka rather than houbař + -ka would lead to increase of other compound suffixes, e.g. -telka instead of -tel + -ka, -ložka instead of -log + -ka, -anka instead of -an + -ka, -ička instead of -ik + -ka or -ič + -ka, and -istka instead of -ista + -ka, as a quick glance at Category:Czech words suffixed with -ka suggests. --Dan Polansky (talk) 14:07, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
As for diff, I believe elektřina|-o-|měřit for elektroměr is correct and elektřina|-o-|-měr is incorrect, or at least introduces a plethora of combining forms (not only -měr) that are better explained as zero suffix attached to měřit. Do we have a source for "-měr" being a suffix? --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:55, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
I am not sure, but your creation of, say, Thesaurus:pyj without indicating the source, which is the mainspace entry pyj, could be a copyright violation. Wiktionary entries, including their content, are copyrighted under CC-BY-SA. What could prevent it from being a copyright violation would the position that synonym lists are not subject to copyright. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:51, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
As for diff in which you changed "]" to "{{l|en|exponential}}" on a definition line, there was a vote against that and I think I saw bots changing it to the opposite. Let me see if I can find the vote. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:57, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
The vote: Wiktionary:Votes/2016-07/Using template l to link to English entries. The relevant portion: 'All translations on the definition lines of non-English entries use {{l}} to link to English terms.' --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:43, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
diff: I see you moving derived terms to usage examples, contrary to WT:EL and common practice. Please start a Beer parlour discussion and gain consensus if you want to continue. That is to say, I oppose this. I have no idea what principle could possibly guide such a practice; we surely cannot do the same for all derived term sections since they sometimes contain tens of items, and it cannot be a good thing to separate sense definitions with large list of items that can be comfortably hosted in derived terms section. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:29, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Entries like these may not necessarily pass WT:ATTEST. ISO language codes are not included by default; they must meet our attestation requirements like anything else. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:09, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi. The phrase ani mě nehne is linked on the page as a "phrase". Can you explain what it means? Also, it doesn't seem to belong on the page, as I can't see how "ani mě nehne" can be connected to hnout. Pious Eterino (talk) 14:14, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey, so you've been adding the rhymes incorrectly on many pages, which means I have to go through and clean them up. Polish rhymes start from the second to last vowel (or last vowel if monosyllabic) and go to the end. This means some words have really few exact rhymes, such as otwór. Vininn126 (talk) 11:47, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
Quick note: if you come across empty rhymes categories (or similar), tag them with {{d}}, not {{rfd}}. Ultimateria (talk) 18:22, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
Hey. You've been adding rhymes correctly, thanks! Also syllables. But one more thing - we also add the syllable template to even one-syllable words. It's just the entire word. It seems silly, but hey. Vininn126 (talk) 18:38, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
Where did you get kobylnik from? I can't find anything on the internet about it. Vininn126 (talk) 11:29, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
Hey! Just so you know I've added acceleration to verbs. Ofc we should be careful and not add anything dubious, like passive participles for intransitive verbs, or personal forms for impersonal verbs, but you don't have to manually do it, just turn on acceleration in your gadgets and you'll get green links in the verb tables. Vininn126 (talk) 12:35, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
So the general concensus is to not include other scripts, so no Cyrillic on Latin pages, or vice versa, and instead only use it for diacritics. Vininn126 (talk) 16:39, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
Where did you find the "landing of a stairway" meaning of zabieg? None of the dictionaries linked on that page list it, and the Polish Wikipedia and Doroszewski's dictionary give podest as the equivalent term in Polish. - LaetusStudiis (talk) 18:25, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
Lacking adjective declensions are not incorrect but merely incomplete; by contrast, a reference to PSJC when PSJC does not have the term is incorrect. That is why I notified you of this. Incomplete is fine, incorrect is not. Dan Polansky (talk) 18:56, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
In štěpnost, you entered štěpit + -nost as the morphology. Do you have a source for that? To me, this is obviously štěpný + -ost. http://www.slovnikafixu.cz does not have -nost, but maybe you have another source. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:40, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
Why did you undo your edit on zamek? Vininn126 (talk) 12:55, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
Does this actually only refer the members of one genus or does it include the bushbirds in the other genus, too? DCDuring (talk) 19:33, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
You should know, Wikipedia doesn't count towards WT:CFI. Vininn126 (talk) 18:50, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
You may or may not know, but I just want to make sure, since this was a practice for a while: M. Arta's Old Polish dictionary shouldn't be used alone for the base of Old Polish entries, it's more like a dictionary of archaic words. You haven't done that, seeing as the Słownik pojęciowy języka staropolskiego links go somewhere, I just want to make sure. Cheers! Vininn126 (talk) 09:30, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi. I've come across a number of cases where you seem to have blindly added {{cs-IPA}} to a Czech term without checking whether it needed respelling. Latest example: idiotský. In general, any Czech word made from a foreign word that has the sequences ni, ti or di needs respelling ny/ty/dy. Benwing2 (talk) 05:24, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
