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! Ultimateria (talk) 19:00, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hey, welcome to Wiktionary, great to see someone taking up Salishan languages here on Wiktionary.

I have a small request/suggestion, and that is whether you could add sources to entries you make? It's useful for the readers to know where we get our information from, and I assume you're following some kind of dictionary and/or grammar when creating your entries. The easiest way to add sources is to create a reference template (cf. for instance {{R:esu:Jacobson:2012}}) and add it under the "References" header on each entry (like at kegluneq).

Don't hesitate to ask me anything if you run into any questions or problems! Thadh (talk) 18:53, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for reaching out. I've created a template at {{R:lut:Bates:1994}}, which is the source for nearly if not all Lushootseed entries on the site. I'll try to go back & add it to as many entries missing it as I go along, but if you see any missed, feel free to add it, as I doubt any other source has been used on here for the basic semantic details. I'll add further reference templates where needed.

Thanks again! CedarForest14 (talk) 19:12, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
