Welcome!

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• How to edit a page 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.
• Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
• Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide to Wikipedia users useful.
• The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
• We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

Also, please add a BabelBox to your userpage so we can help you with the languages you'll be working in.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Again, welcome!

As far as I know, not a lot of Gaulish is recorded in written sources. Is this term recorded in one of these sources? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:13, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

fr-2 or fr-3?

You've mentioned your level of French twice in your babel box -- is it "français deux" or "français trois"? Il faut choisir... :) --Pereru (talk) 22:40, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Welcome again

User:Metaknowledge told me you are adding words for Gaulish. Metaknowledge and I have made a proposal for extinct languages (Wiktionary:Votes/2012-08/Extinct_Languages_-_Criteria_for_Inclusion) to make it easier to add words for extinct languages without much documentation.

From your user page, I see you know about the "category" page for Gaulish. Do you know also about the WT:About Gaulish page?

I'm also curious: It says you are a student of Norwegian Philology and Antic Studies, but I think "Antic" might be a misspelling. Should it be "Arctic"? It sounds interesting either way! --BB12 (talk) 10:03, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

I assume "antic" is supposed to be something like "ancient" (via antique). —Ruakh_TALK 17:39, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

See antic, Adj. def. 3. --Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 17:51, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

That's why I assumed that. But "Antic Studies" is certainly not correct PDE for whatever Bli med has in mind. —Ruakh_TALK 18:29, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Vote for extinct languages

Although I encouraged you to vote on the proposal for Extinct Languages - Criteria for Inclusion, I realized that unfortunately you do not qualify. To vote you basically must have at least 50 edits before the vote starts. So far, we have two votes of support and two opposed. The vote must get approximately 66% to pass, but the number is not fixed. --BB12 (talk) 20:46, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
