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.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! --Apisite (talk) 05:17, 20 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

What do you think of the New Saxon Spelling? I added a section for what could be Low German word Ies in that orthography. --Apisite (talk) 05:19, 20 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

What do you think about this phoneme? In my opinion, it did not exist in the Polabian language. The extra essence of Lehr-Spławiński. Most likely it was phoneme i. And the superlative suffix has the phoneme e. No more than. Gnosandes (talk) 20:21, 23 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, could you please not infer pronunciation of compounds based on the pronunciation of individual characters in dialects? And could you please not enable the Middle Chinese and Old Chinese reconstructions? RcAlex36 (talk) 14:29, 16 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Which dialects? Phillipm0703 (talk) 14:32, 16 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Which source did you get the pronunciation of those era names in Taiwanese Hakka, Hokkien and Teochew from? RcAlex36 (talk) 14:34, 16 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello.

You don't need to add manual transliterations for Korean but you need to add "^" to capitalise.

There are no genders in Korean, so don't add |m= or |f=!

Proper names need to include |cap=y. in {{ko-IPA}}.

You seem to mistranslate simple names - 프란치스코 (Peuranchiseuko) is Francisco, not Francis. And Francis would be 프랜시스 (Peuraensiseu)! --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:15, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

- Ah okay. I got the name "프란치스코" from the korean wikipedia of Pope Francis. I thought it is the common korean form. Phillipm0703 (talk) 06:30, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

Thanks for adding Korean entries for various English names. Just a note that they are best formatted like 프리드리히 (Peurideurihi) or 빅토르 (Biktoreu), with the template for transcriptions of foreign names and with the source language given.

Thanks!--Tibidibi (talk) 02:49, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please format Korean transliterations of foreign names this way, instead of as in 필립 (Pillip) and 조지 (Joji). Thanks!--Tibidibi (talk) 01:12, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Creating entries like Proto-Kartvelian *brʒ₁- is not useful. I assume you saw the link at ბრძოლა (brʒola) and wanted to make it blue. A proto-entry should list all the descendants and should have some references. Also, it should be created by users knowledgeable in the history of the respective languages.

Re: *Hildibalþaz, *Harjaberhtaz - I have moved these to their West Germanic counterparts *Hildibalþ and *Hariberht, as these entries contained only West Germanic descendants and should thus not be reconstructed further back than Proto-West Germanic. Standard Wiktionary practice is to reconstruct Proto-Germanic only when there descendants in multiple branches of the language family, unless there is a particularly compelling reason to suppose that a word must have existed in Proto-Germanic despite having descendants only in a single branch of the family such as West-Germanic (e.g. because it was formed through some mechanism that was no longer productive post-PGmc). — Mnemosientje (t · c) 08:46, 19 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

I noticed you created entries for every hypothetical form of the paradigm of 𐍃𐌺𐌰𐌿𐌽𐍃 (skauns). For poorly-attested ancient and medieval languages it is long-standing practice on Wiktionary not to create entries for unattested forms (see WT:ATTEST, WT:AGOT; note that virtually every attested Gothic form is already present on Wiktionary). For this reason I have removed the inflected entries you have created. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 16:57, 20 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi, when using {{grc-IPA}}, please remember to mark α ι υ as long or short (outside of diphthongs and ᾳ ᾶ ῖ ῦ). Thanks! —Mahāgaja · talk 17:20, 9 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
