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

Were these used in modern English (after the year 1500)? DTLHS (talk) 01:17, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
- @DTLHS "diuers" was used in Early Modern English & Middle English alongside "diuerse" prior to around the 1630's(when the modern convention with u/v & i/j was made). "dyuers" was used at least till the 1530's. "dyvers" is sometimes used in partially modernized transcriptions of Middle/Early Modern English works & by people who write "ye olde englissche"(not to be confused with "ye auld kynd of engliſch").

Hi, all entries should have a {{head}} template and part of speech header, even alternative spellings. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 12:15, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hi Justin. A lot of your recent entries lack a POS. Many also lack a headword line, but it’s easy to add a barebones HWL once you know the POS ({{head|language code|part of speech}}). — Ungoliant (falai) 12:15, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Middle English is a separate language. Middle English spellings are not alternative forms of English (iebat). DTLHS (talk) 02:28, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
- @DTLHS I'll keep that in mind in the future, but I've only been doing that when the Modern English form/spelling was also used in Middle English and the meaning is the same(in this case, gibbet was sometimes used in Middle English, and the meaning(a gallows or a displayer of bodies) is the same. JustinCB (talk) 02:35, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
- That doesn't matter. Just keep them separated and treat Middle English as any other non-English language. DTLHS (talk) 02:38, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
- If you want iebat to be an alternative form of gibbet, that's fine, just use
{{alternative form of|...|lang=enm}} and add a Middle English entry to gibbet. DTLHS (talk) 02:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
- @DTLHS Alright, I'll do that or something else for to keep them separate when I edit on them in the future. I'll try for to think on them as separate languages, & not Middle English as an archaick form of English, at least in the context of Wiktionary(though it's sometimes hard to tell Middle English from Early Modern English).

Please be more careful when editing, there are many issues with your changes: missing POS tags, wrong L2 headers, spelling mistakes, missing spaces, use of HTML tags (<i>, <b>) instead of wiki markup etc. Have a look how other entries are formatted as guideline. – Jberkel 08:30, 23 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
