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! --Vahag (talk) 10:24, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Scripts

Avestan is written in the Avestan script, not Latin. Please note the following change. --Vahag (talk) 07:51, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

There is no language called "Pahlavi". You are using wrong language codes. See the list of language names and respective language codes at WT:LL. Avestan is not the parent of Persian. --Vahag (talk) 08:32, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Proto-Indo-European pages

The ones you've created that I've looked at so far are quite a mess. Please read WT:AINE before you create any more, and also look at similar reconstruction pages to get a better idea about how we do things. You might also spend some more time with WT:EL, because you obviously don't have mastery of of our formatting yet. As it is, someone's going to have to spend a good bit of time fixing the entries.

Also, this is English Wiktionary, so the footnotes need to be in English. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:50, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Ariaaghayan, you are making too many mistakes and are not learning. Please stick to simpler tasks. Otherwise you will have to be blocked. --Vahag (talk) 11:08, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Incomplete entries

Etymologies, pronunciation and synonyms are nice, but you can't have entries without the "Part of speech" header, the headword line or the definition. See Entry layout. Such half-entries could be deleted as "no usable content given". Chuck Entz (talk) 16:36, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
