Hi. "5 more reasons to hate Chris Jefford" sounds like modern Internet clickbait! Which Observer is this? Where can the 1988 source be seen? Equinox ◑ 21:24, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Things are not always what they *seem*. BlackAdvisor (talk) 21:27, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

OK thanks. I had trouble finding the proper Wiktionary way of citing newspapers, and I’m not abundantly familiar with UK ones BlackAdvisor (talk) 21:44, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

I am not totally sure that -ey can't pluralise to -ies, as illogical as it might look. Hard to think of a strong counterexample right now, however. Equinox ◑ 00:31, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

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!
