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:

I think the stress patterns may be wrong. "Eye" is at least as strongly stressed as "ap(ple)", if not more so. Would it make sense to use two primary stresses since they are two separate words? Equinox ◑ 23:03, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
There is a current vote on this. I recommend that you consider it before creating more entries that may end up getting deleted. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:37, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
Hey. Thanks for your work in Icelandic. If you want something to do, and feel comfortable with it, can I ask you to look at Category:Tbot entries (Icelandic)? This is a category of lots of Icelandic entries made 10 years ago by a bot, and they haven't been checked since then so may contain many errors. Thanks in advance. --Guiri Falso (talk) 14:40, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
As Afrihili is a conlang with rather hard-to-access documentation, it's especially useful to reference your entries in it. If you're using William Annis's writeup, you can just reference that. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:07, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
{{auto cat}}Just so you know, you never have to create categories if this is the sole content. They get created by regular bot runs every few days or so. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:45, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
Just curious, why do you think creating thousands of formulaic entries for place names in California is a good use of your time? DTLHS (talk) 01:22, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for helping with a few Greek terms - but please double check when you make an entry — the translation ελεφαντόδοντο = elephant's tusk or ivory. — Saltmarsh. 06:19, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
Hey. Thanks for your work in Lithuanian. If you want something to do, and feel comfortable with it, can I ask you to look at Category:Tbot entries (Lithuanian)? Entries made 10 years ago by a bot, not been checked since then so may contain many errors. Thanks in advance. La más guay (talk) 23:22, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
Half of the definitions you are adding are wrong. With such a low accuracy, maybe you should stick to languages you do know. Allahverdi Verdizade (talk) 11:48, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
Does this meet WT:ATTEST? Are you checking whether your entries do? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:29, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello,
You should not leave a mess behind like this revision. Don't make entries in languages you don't know how. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:11, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
Just speedy-deleted the entry 𐌰𐌿𐍂 you created (it is unattested and even when added as a reconstruction, its form would have had to have been *aurs if derived from *auraz). Based on your comments here, I will guess you added this based on another-language Wiktionary edition, such as af.wikt or is.wikt, which have the entry. But other Wiktionaries generally are often quite bad (particularly when it comes to Gothic), so exercise caution, particularly when working with languages you don't know. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 16:31, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi, where are you getting the Tibetan country names from?--Tibidibi (talk) 22:01, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
Please stop making Slavic surname entries. You apparently are clueless about the stress patterns and not making any efforts to verify your edits. this revision is the proof. --121.221.134.95 02:16, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello! The word "busìnacu" doesn't exist in Sicilian. The correct word is busnìacu.--86.75.47.151 20:58, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
Hey! Thanks for adding those words. I have an odd request - I'm currently on a mountain trip, so it's hard for me to go through them and add anything missing - could you talk them with an rfe or something (rfe would be best) so that way when I can, I can go back and add missing etymologies and such? Thanks Vininn126 (talk) 08:14, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
You should be careful when adding terms from Wikipedia, they sometimes have weird stuff on there. Kleptokracja is attestable, but not very, and I could easily see adding some term that's not actually a thing. This goes for translations, too. Vininn126 (talk) 10:34, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Many of the Icelandic entries you added around November 2020 (such as skikkanlegur) are taken word-for-word, meaning-label-for-meaning-label from Forlagið's Icelandic–English Dictionary. This is somewhat of an issue for copyright reasons and these entries would need to be deleted and written anew. Were you working from a set list of words or are you otherwise able to go through your entries and mark the infringing ones for deletion? Hvergi (talk) 19:28, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
You can't get a weak noun just by specifying the genitive as en, e.g. in Abstinent. You should use the following:
{{de-ndecl|m.weak}}
or similar. Benwing2 (talk) 04:29, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
Numberguy6, you do not speak Icelandic and adding incorrect entries to a dictionary isn't acceptable. Several of your phrase translations were extremely incorrect, and your other entries continue to be either be taken directly from the Icelandic-English dictionary or contain misunderstandings from you translating information from Islex. Hvergi (talk) 11:29, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello - please don't add Mongolian script entries that you've copied and pasted from Mongolian Wiktionary, as they're often wrong (and often very badly wrong). Most Mongolians who are able to access Wiktionary (i.e. those in Mongolia itself) don't read the script, so we can't just assume they've been written by someone familiar with it.
I have corrected the entry at чиглэх (čiglex) based on two dictionaries I have available to me, but I would strongly advise that you just leave these in future. Theknightwho (talk) 04:10, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
Hey. Please don't add translations in languages you don't know. You seem to be copying Wikipedia titles but that's unfortunately a very bad strategy as anybody can make up anything on Wikipedia, especially the smaller ones. If mass-copying Wikipedia titles into our translation boxes were a net benefit for Wiktionary, we would already have set up a bot to do so. To give you an example where this goes wrong, in this diff you added the German Low German translation Hygromeater (without a gender, mind you). This term is absolutely not attested from what I can see. See WT:TRANS: words added to translation tables are subject to attestation requirements as well

Hey, your declension table at Kavallerist was incorrect. When a masculine noun takes an -en ending for the genitive singular, it will have a weak declension. To specify this, you should use this format:
{{de-ndecl|m.weak}}
Writing "m,en,en" will cause the declension to be wrong in the dative and accusative singular. Megathonic (talk) 07:04, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Please do not create dry pages with only one translation when the reference dictionary is full of explanations, and also, do not add unsourced etymologies, direct borrowings from French are not common, they usually come via some other language such as Russian, Polish or German.

Hi, you claim near-native knowledge of Icelandic but I seriously doubt that. What is your actual knowledge? You messed up the declension of blístur (which I've now corrected), in that it had no contraction when it should. Can you please correct your Babel box to realistically reflect your actual knowledge of Icelandic? Benwing2 (talk) 12:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
