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!

nationality

Hi. The entry nationality is already under discussion at Wiktionary:Requests for cleanup#nationality (you removed the link to the discussion in this edit). It's probably a good idea for you to join the discussion before you make wholesale deletions. The senses you removed were written with reference to six dictionaries. I'm going to restore the entry to the version being discussed—please join in.

By the way, some things are different from Wikipedia here. Because there are fewer editors and many entries, most discussion takes place at one of the Wiktionary:Discussion rooms, for example, and not in entries' talk pages. Please have a look at some of the welcome links above to familiarize yourself. Regards. —Michael Z. 2009-01-12 06:41 z

Freedictionary

The primary definitions on thefreedictionary.com are from the American Heritage Dictionary, which was already cited on Appendix:Dictionary notes/nationality via Bartleby. Freedictionary also has some definitions from a Collins dictionary, but these do not seem substantially different from the Collins Concise which is already cited. If you do want to add the Collins definitions, or any others that are repackaged on that site, that would probably be fine; just please label them according to their original source to avoid confusion.
