User talk:Hyblaeorum

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.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Hi,

Sicilian does not have the vowel phonemes /ɪ/ and /ʊ/. Please, do not add phonemic transcriptions with them. Nicodene (talk) 19:56, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Theknightwho it seems you block for an unclear and unmotivated reason. So can you please tell me why I cannot edit page for the next to months and how can I get this situation restored? Given also the fact that this decision is manifestly disproportionate, previously unnotified and unpleasantly arbitrary. Hyblaeorum (talk) 06:53, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please only add Sicilian cognates to Italian entries when there is a good reason to, such as there being a unique or particularly close resemblance between them not shared by other Romance languages (unlike, for example, in the case of scopa, where one can just see the descendants at the Latin entry, which is on the same page anyway). You seem to mostly do a good job of this, but be careful not to list Sicilian borrowings from Italian as cognates in the etymology section; this wrongly implies both are inherited or parallelly borrowed from Latin. In such cases, add a ====Descendants==== section with * {{desc|scn|term|bor=1}}. I suspect a few of your additions will need to be reformatted to this. — 2600:4808:9C30:C500:C44:B490:2CA3:CCEB 02:57, 27 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
