Formatting

The Latvian entries which you are adding lack the proper formatting. Your article for apmainīt should have looked more like this:

==Latvian==

===Verb===
{{infl|lv|verb}}

# ], switch, exchange 

An article should start with a "level 2" (L2) header for name of the language (in your case, Latvian), then it should be followed by an empty line, then a "level 3" (L3) header for Part of Speech (for example, Noun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Pronoun...), then a "headword line" (see Wiktionary:G#H) which should have (at its very simplest) the form

{{infl|lv|POS}}

where POS should be replaced by the part of speech (verb, noun, adjective, you name it...). The "headword line" should then be followed by an empty line, then a definition, which starts with a number sign. —AugPi 21:00, 20 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Gender

Shouldn't Latvian nouns have a gender? -- Gauss 20:31, 21 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes, of course, Latvian nouns have a gender. Masculine or feminine. --Lujk3 07:12, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Then you should probably indicate it in the entries you create ... -- Gauss 08:17, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
How do I do that? --Lujk3 08:42, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
See (deprecated template usage) lietvārds for a reasonable example of a Latvian noun. SemperBlotto 08:43, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I can add declension later also. --Lujk3 08:47, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
