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! Vininn126 (talk) 18:18, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Silesian Entries

edit

I've noticed you've been adding a lot of Texan-Silesian entries. There are a few problems, however. You should probably be using {{lb|szl|Texan}} instead of Texas Silesian|Texas. Second of all, you should be adding more space between each of the lines. Right now everything is next to each other. If you need help setting up new Silesian infrastructure, please start a discussion in the grease pit with questions, but right now your entries need improvement. Please don't let that deter you, however! Vininn126 (talk) 18:29, 29 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Entries again

edit

I see improvement, but you still have a lot to learn about formatting. Please, please, PLEASE do some reading, and by some I mean a lot. For example 1, and all the links in the welcome message above. If you need a reference, check out the recent changes for a given language and look at who is acitvely editing and try to mimick them. Vininn126 (talk) 16:22, 1 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

P.S. If you're unsure how a template works, most have a documentation page, i.e. Vininn126 (talk) 16:32, 1 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Entries yet AGAIN

edit

Hey, you need to pay attention instead of sloppily copy-pasting. You set the etymologies as English borrowing from French on tyralier and tyraliera, which is a Polish word. You didn't even change the word that was borrowed on tyraliera. You need to provide links in your definitions. You need hard enters between sets of ='s.

Also if you're using {{C}} you don't need to use the category template, it's redundant, and you can put some categories in the {{lb}} template. Vininn126 (talk) 20:02, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Sorry. I'm just trying to add missing words. I'm not good at editing Wikitionary, as I'm mostly editing Wikipedia instead, and I really don't know much how to work with all those templates. Don't need to scream at me for every single mistake. About the etymology of "tyraliera". It doesn't seem that French word "tiraillerie" exists (no results on Google), and it seems that word comes directly either from Polish "tyralier" or French "tirailleur" instead.

https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/tiraillerie exists, which is also given in Wielki Słownik Wyrazów Obcych.
I am mildly frustrated because I have tried to show you how to use these before, and also these are things you can avoid by looking at it before you publish it. I know it's hard in the beginning, I've been there, but you should heed the advice I gave before. Also, like I said, there is documentation for templates, read them. The best thing you can do is copy an EXISTING Polish entry, preferably a newer one, and compare, e.g. diariusz. Vininn126 (talk) 20:12, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Also "tiraillerie" inq uotes gives me 526,000 results on Google. Vininn126 (talk) 20:12, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
I have tried to give an in-depth guide to Polish editing Wiktionary:About_Polish there. Vininn126 (talk) 20:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Belta lang

edit

Hello! I noticed you have been working on this conlang appendix. I have a question, unrelated to the Wiktionary, but about Belta lang: Do you know whether there is a word for "flag" in this language? I would assume so, as there are flags in this fictional universe, but I haven’t been able to find it… Tuvalkin (talk) 01:39, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Tuvalkin Oye kopeng. I might be wrong, as I don't know this language that well. But to my knowledge, there is no word for flag unfortunately. The language unfortunately lack a lot of even essential words.Artemis Andromeda (talk) 02:31, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
