Welcome edit

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution 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.
  • 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.

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! Mglovesfun (talk) 20:54, 27 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

This entry cannot be placed in Category:Ukrainian prepositions, since there is no Ukrainian section on the page. --EncycloPetey 00:29, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

I don't really know how to create a Ukrainian section. I mostly work on Ukrainian wiktionary. There is also no template for Ukrainian prepositions. You guys just don't have it. So, even if there was a Ukrainian section, it would still have to be done manually.--Sanya3 00:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
No, it would not. We have a general template {{infl}} that could be added as {{infl|uk|preposition}} in the Preposition section. --EncycloPetey 00:34, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
The {{infl}} template doesn't work. I added it to край and it is not showing that it's a preposition or putting it into the category of Ukrainian prepositions.--Sanya3 00:49, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
It did work, and it did add the page to that category. however, as I already told you, that template and category must not be added unless there is a section on the page defining/translating the Ukrainian preposition. As I warned you, you have now been blocked. Please use this time to learn Wiktionary minimum content standards. --EncycloPetey 00:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
THERE IS A UKRAINIAN SECTION ON THAT PAGE! AND IT DID NOT WORK! SEE FOR YOURSELF!--Sanya3 00:55, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
There is no Ukrainian preposition section on that page. Since you choose to shout, and will not listen, I see no point in continuing to explain things to you. --EncycloPetey 00:56, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
There is a Ukrainian section on край. It's #3 on the bottom. Are you blind?--Sanya3 00:58, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
This is completely unfair and inappropriate behavior from an administrator.--Sanya3 01:00, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
This is the last attempt I will make to explain it to you. There is no section on that page for a Ukrainian preposition. Look again at the many times I have said this to you. There is a section on that page only for a Ukrainian noun. A noun is not a preposition. Each part of speech has a separate section. A preposition category must not be added unless there is a section about that preposition. --EncycloPetey 01:01, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
OK, I understand. Can you unblock me, so I can create a Ukrainian preposition section there?--Sanya3 01:05, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
You could have first explained it to me, instead of just blocking me. That's an inhumane approach to people. I merely tried to do what you told me to do.--Sanya3 01:11, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hi. I have created a Ukrainian section for без (bez). Please try to be nicer to other contributors and follow the rules. --Anatoli 23:24, 5 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks.--Sanya3 23:28, 5 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

край edit

This page cannot be added to Category:Ukrainian prepositions, since there is no information on the page about such a preposition. A "Preposition" section must be added first. --EncycloPetey 00:31, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

If you do not stop tagging pages inappropriately, you will be blocked. --EncycloPetey 00:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
I am tagging inappropriately. These are Ukrainian prepositions. Why don't you create a Ukrainian section, instead of just going around deleting my useful information?--Sanya3 00:33, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
If you are not willing to create the section, please do not tag the page. Categories are for information that exists, not for information that is not there. --EncycloPetey 00:34, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Why are you blocking me? I did not refuse to follow the format. I simply explained my reasons. And I did not make a single change after you warned me!--Sanya3 00:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
You continue to add inappropriate categories, as I warned you not to do. You must add information about a word before placing the word in a language and part of speech category. We only categorize information that exists, not information that does not exist. --EncycloPetey 00:54, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Dude, I did not add any more inappropriate categories. There is a Ukrainian section on that page.--Sanya3 00:56, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Interwikis edit

Just to save use time patrolling edits, could you please just let bots add interwikis. This is a request from me rather than a 'rule'. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:12, 5 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I tried giving the bots time to add interwikis. But after they didn't do it in a day or two I just added them myself. The bots don't seem to be very active here. At least, not nearly as active as on Wikipedia.--Sanya3 21:14, 5 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Can I be sure that the bots will put the interwikis through?--Sanya3 21:38, 5 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Please don't worry about interwikis, we don't create interwikis manually for identical words, only for some categories, which are obviously written in a different language. The interwikis will be created eventually and they will have the right format, order and will affect all linked wikis, not just one. --Anatoli 23:26, 5 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

двигун внутрішнього згоряння edit

Please don't create ill-formatted entries. It takes longer to fix than to create a new one. I'll fix this one but please start learning. --Anatoli (обсудить) 01:56, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Your entries are badly formatted, please stop and take a look around. --Anatoli (обсудить) 02:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

I am used to working with templates on the Ukrainian wiktionary. Is there some sort of a template for Ukrainian entries in the English wiktionary?--Sanya3 02:05, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
The Ukrainian entries you have just created in the Ukrainian Wiktionary are just as bad, sorry. You might need to go and fix those! You can try looking at existing entries by part of speech, look at the Russian entries, there are more Russian entries than Ukrainian. I have created the Ukrainian section of без#Ukrainian as you requested, it actually the minimum format, you could just reuse but change the part of speech. --Anatoli (обсудить) 02:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Are you saying the Ukrainian templates are bad? Because that's all I use. Russian entries are way worse. Most Russian entries for Ukrainian words have no definition and no translation. Just the word and the fact that it's Ukrainian. Let's let the Ukrainian admins judge the quality of Ukrainian pages and stick to the questions at hand.--Sanya3 02:37, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
No, I'm referring to the English Wiktionary's Russian entries, not the Russian wiki. The Ukrainian entries you have created look like this [[|який]] [[|завгодно]], which I find ugly. You saw how двигатель внутреннего сгорания, You could have copied and modified. Be careful with parts of speech. Not everything that has spaces is a phrase. I have no idea why you made двигун внутрішнього згоряння a "phrase". For transliteration, see WT:UK TR.
Just stick to this format for now, if you need more, you can ask me. Note, there are no Ukrainain declension or conjugation templates and you can't simply use Russian like you did with маршрутка.
==Ukrainian==

===PART OF SPEECH===
{{infl|PART OF SPEECH|tr=TRANSLITERATION}}

# DEFINITION

For nouns you need g, eg. g=m (masculine).
Some parts of speech have additional templates - {{uk-noun}}, {{uk-verb}}, {{uk-adj}}. If the template doesn't exist, you can use {{infl}} (the part of speech is a parameter after |, like I did for який завгодно. --Anatoli (обсудить) 02:59, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
OK, Thanks for the info. As far as the | in [[|який]] [[|завгодно]], that's a template issue. I have no idea how to get rid of that. In the template you just put in the word in front of the = sign and it comes out like that.
As for the parts of speech, how can you say that three words are a noun? If it's not a phrase, then it's at least a word combination. Is there a template for a word combination?--Sanya3 05:17, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Это сложное слово - a compound word, но все равно имя существительное. Кстати, не стоит добавлять интервики вручную, боты это обязательно сделаю, без ошибок и в нужном порядке. --Anatoli (обсудить) 09:45, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Интересно, но в русском и украинском викисловарях, сложные слова все равно проходят как словосочетания.
Это не совсем правда. Я постоянно нахожу несоединенные странички, особенно с некоторыми языками. Такими как китайский, например. Очень часто существует посылание с английского на китайский, но ни в каких других языках его нет. Такое же случается и с другими языками. Но я точно знаю, что если я сам их проставлю, то они точно там будут, и не надо думать проставят их боты или нет. Этому я еще в Википедии научился.--Sanya3 02:42, 23 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Советую все же придерживаться стандартов английского Викисловаря. "Словосочетание" не используется как заголовок для части речи. Есть фразы, типа который час. Если мобильный телефон, mobile phone - существительные, значит, и мобільний телефон - тоже имя существительное. Попробуйте создать. Гарантирую, что в течение суток интервики будет на месте. Не стоит тратить на них время. --Anatoli (обсудить) 11:58, 23 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Да, интервики, созданные вручную, могут быть пустыми, неправильными или не в том порядке. Боты их не исправляют. --Anatoli (обсудить) 13:24, 23 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
На русской страничке написано что ru:мобильный телефон - это «устойчивое сочетание» (а на украинской было бы написано «словосполучення»). Я никогда в жизни не слышал что-бы два слова в русском языке назывались именем существительным, хотя с детства знаю русский.
Я встречал такой феномен, когда я создавал украинские странички, добавлял интервики и ждал когда боты проставят по другим языкам. Через несколько дней проверил и оказалось что боты проставили, но не по всем языкам. Особенно почему то боты не проставляли в корейском и вьетнамском викисловарях, насколько я помню, и пару других. Получается что боты делают только частичную работу и полагаться на них нельзя.--Sanya3 23:34, 23 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Если вы хотите менять нормы, объяснитесь в WT:BP, меня тема изменения существующих норм не интересует, я их соблюдаю. Если вы настаиваете, что мобильный телефон, mobile phone не существительные, об этом должны знать другие редакторы, чтобы не удивляться, что кто-то будет удалять или менять ваши записи. --Anatoli (обсудить) 00:42, 24 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Я не говорил об изменении каких-то норм, а попросил посмотреть на русскую страничку, которую не я делал. Какие-то странные люди в wiktionary. Все на конфликт лезут.--Sanya3 10:59, 30 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Interwiki for templates edit

Please add interwikis between <noinclude></noinclude> tags, because without them, the interwikis appear on users' pages. Maro 21:05, 6 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes, thanks. I just realized that.--Sanya3 22:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ruslana edit

Hello,

Sorry but I'm not going to praise you for such an edit. I have simply deleted the entry. We have many examples of entries in the right script and with the right language headers and you know how to write in Ukrainian. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:00, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Not sure what you are referring to, as you didn't link anything. --Sanya3 (talk) 19:45, 12 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
