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! Conrad.Irwin 01:21, 6 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hiya. Assuming you're slightly new (and apologies if not, because I don't want to be patronising!), there are a few good places to check for evidence of words. Obviously a general Google Web search gives you an idea of whether something is totally invented, but since anybody can write anything on the Web we can't always use that. More reliable places to look are Google Books (stuff that's actually been printed, even it's somebody's vanity novel), Google Groups (the traditional Internet newsgroups, i.e. Usenet — you have to tick a box to exclude the third-party discussion groups), and Google Scholar (scientific papers, good for technical and theoretical terms).

- Thanks for those tips, Equinox (and yes, I am newer to Wiktionary than you, I'm sure!). Trafford09 23:33, 24 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hey, if you visit Special:Preferences you can change your signature to link to your talk page by setting the box to be ] and ticking the "Raw signature" box. (If you want to do something fancy, like link the 09 to your talk page, then try something like ]]. Conrad.Irwin 01:39, 6 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
You (accidentally) removed the misspelling of río (with an accent on the "i"). SemperBlotto 14:45, 15 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
