Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary! We notice that you're making changes anonymously. Although this is perfectly all right, we'd like to encourage you to take the time to create an account and sign in to it when editing – it's free and easy. A list of good reasons to do so is at Wiktionary:Why create an account?.

Please note that we are not Wikipedia. If you have edited there, then it won't be very difficult for you to find your way here, but there are a number of differences. For example, Wiktionary is case-sensitive: Kind (German) is not the same as kind (English, Danish, Dutch etc.) Also note that Wiktionary uses no parenthetic disambiguation, so where Wikipedia might have separate articles on Mercury (planet), Mercury (element), and Mercury (mythology), Wiktionary will only have one entry on Mercury which addresses proper noun uses, and an entry on mercury which addresses regular noun uses.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• Wiktionary Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to start a page
• Sandbox (our test area)
• Community Portal
• Formatting guidelines
• Criteria for inclusion
• What Wiktionary is not
• FAQ

Questionable entries will be listed for verification, and, if they fail that process, will be deleted. Also, keep in mind our copyright policies: don't copy material from copyrighted sources here. Such additions will be deleted on sight. Submissions from IP addresses are looked at more closely, unfortunately, so please take a minute to create an account.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question in the appropriate discussion room or ask me on my talk page.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

Also, please don't put an asterisk before the declension template. It messes up the page. Thanks! Ultimateria (talk) 04:41, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

апелсин

Do you have any evidence that this a word in Mongolian? --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Is it too far fetched that Mongolian would have Russian loanwords? 178.120.68.196 22:36, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

@178.120.68.196: It's not too far fetched but you need to provide evidence. We don't add entries based on assumptions. Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:39, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Languages

Unless you really do know this many Sino-Tibetan languages, please avoid creating entries for languages that you do not know. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 12:19, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Multi-word comparatives

Don't create multi-word comparative and superlative forms for Turkic adjectives. I've nominated them for deletion because they don't pass WT:SOP. Ultimateria (talk) 19:55, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
