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! Rodrigo5260 (talk) 17:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Next time do two things before you impulsively slap a deletion request on an entry;

  • Check official and/or reliable independant dictionary sources, see if they list the entry and if so, what form do they list it in. In this case it is {{R:tr:TDK}}, as well as {{R:tr:OTK|page=489}}, where the lemma is listed in the 3rd person possessive form. Your reasoning that it should be lemmatized in base form because the Ottoman Turkish dictionary lists it in the base form is flawed. Ottoman Turkish dictionaries have little effect on how Modern Turkish dictionaries are arranged. TDK lists the lemma in 3rd person, the least we could do is follow the official practice.
  • If you really think an entry should be removed, of which there are plenty on this website, place an {{rfd}} with your reasoning and then start a new section at Wiktionary:Requests for deletion/Non-English with the right format, so that other editors who are competent at that language can discuss whether the deletion request is valid or not, and whether to go forward with it or keep the entry.

Regarding pronunciation, I see you've edited a few multi-word entries and you place a stress mark for each word. This is not how Turkish works. With exceptions, multi-word phrases have only one stressed syllable. TDK doesn't typically provide pronunciations for multi-word verbs, but they do for nouns and other phrases and they're consistent, only one stress, so the other word(s) lose its/theirs.
