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 documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. 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.
• The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
• A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
• If you have anything to ask about or suggest, we have several discussion rooms. Feel free to ask any other editors in person if you have any problems or question, by posting a message on their talk page.

You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Again, welcome! —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:27, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Also, when your contributions are deleted or tagged with a request for deletion, do not just recreate them or remove the tag. When something like that happens, you can discuss it at RFD or with the involved editors if it did not reach RFD. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:31, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

letterbox

Stop patronising me. Why don't you get acquainted with our policies before getting on your high horse? Per utramque cavernam 20:30, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Boris Johnson said something about women in burkas looking like letterboxes- he was referring to literal letterboxes in that comment. If he said "that hat makes you look stupid" to a certain person, that wouldn't justify adding an entry to stupid with the person's name. Aside from that, you need to show that the word has entered the language as a term independent of reference to Boris Johnson's quote with one or more specific meanings. It may happen, but I don't believe it's happened yet. Our Criteria for inclusion page says you need to show the term being used to convey meaning in three durably-archived sources spanning at least a year. Normally we would tag if with {{rfv|en}} and go through the process, but your wording shows that your entry is based solely on a fundamental misunderstanding that invalidates the whole thing, so speedy deletion seems appropriate. Also, your definition is poorly written- even after 19 edits, all of them full of errors. Please try to learn more about how dictionaries work before adding more entries.

Looking over your edit history, I notice a couple of times that you referred to edits you disagreed with as "possible vandalism". That doesn't go over very well here- it's a tactic that's almost exclusively used by vandals and other bad-faith editors to justify edit-warring. Worse, one of those times was reverting addition of an {{rfd}} tag- removing any kind of deletion template (including {{rfv}}) by the person whose edits are nominated for removal is generally perceived as a clear demonstration of bad faith and is a blockable offense (it doesn't help that it was added by a veteran admin). I don't know if you're really editing in bad faith or just acting like it due to not thinking things through, but you're building a fairly strong circumstantial case for bad faith or irresponsibility on your part that could be used by any admin who wants to block you for disruptive edits. Please be more careful and thoughtful in the future. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:04, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

I am sorry. I was acting in good faith for this page entry. CrayonS (talk) 17:27, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
