Somewhat belated

I think you already found your way around here, but…

Welcome

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.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! — Keφr 13:25, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Dinosaur Comics cite

Hey, I moved the quote from Ryan North to the citations page. The quote is a "mention" of the term rather than a usage, so it isn't a great example for the main entry. - TheDaveRoss 16:34, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Removing Verification/Deletion Templates

Short version: Don't. Ever. Doing so out of process is a blockable offense. The template will be removed by whoever closes the discussion at Requests for verification-English. You don't know our policies, so you have no idea whether a quote meets our requirements or not (it doesn't). Besides: removing the template in the entry has no effect on the verification/deletion process, aside from giving the appearance of bad faith on the part of proponents, and hiding the discussion from those who might be able to save the entry or sense.
