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! Chuck Entz (talk) 23:25, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

About your user page

Don't worry too much about being blocked. The first block is not likely to be for very long if your mistakes are made in good faith. OTOH, we are building a dictionary that should include terms and meanings of terms for which normal web users would want to know definitions. Try to focus on those and on correction of errors in languages and topics where you know what you are talking about. DCDuring (talk) 22:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

So what did you learn?

The tax band entry is still incorrectly formatted so I guess you didn't read WT:ELE at all. And the Citations:tax band page was also useless, because dumping the names of a couple of dictionaries is not providing citations (proper quotes from a book, with dates and authors). If you read the stuff I told you about, you would be able to do stuff right, instead of making more hard work for the rest of us. So will you please do it right, or get blocked longer and longer each time? Thank you. Equinox ◑ 23:43, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
