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.
Thanks so much, Ultimateria. I've been a Wikipedian for some time, and only made a few sporadic edits here. I'm interested in doing more audio recordings, especially since I've had fun contributing to Common Voice.
Rodrigo5260: I have not. I see speed of generating recordings as a benefit, but based on my setup and lack of soundproofing in my office, I do feel strongly about the (small, albeit noticeable) level of cleanup I do to my recordings.

Hello,
In case you are unfamiliar, here is a code for copying and pasting audios without manually having to type the particular name. Remember the code is case-sensitive, and make sure your audio name does not contain typos.

Thank you for the great work you are doing!
I think I spotted an error in one of your recordings. In the entry soothsayer, the IPA that is listed for both the British and the American pronunciation indicates that the "th" should be unvoiced, so that the word "sooth" rhymes with "truth" rather than "smooth" (unlike the word "soothe", where the "th" is voiced). It looks like Dictionary.com and merriam-webster.com also use the unvoiced consonant in their audio examples.
That being said, it would not surprise me at all to discover that a majority of modern speakers say it using the voiced consonant (as, to my ear, you did), since people encounter the word by reading rather than by listening, and the verb "soothe" remains common while the noun "sooth" has disappeared.

@Tracy Hall: Thanks for catching this! I just uploaded a new version.
I'm curious why you document these! I also appreciate that you ask, because I had been meaning to record me saying it for my own userpage. = paul2520💬00:59, 10 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
