Welcome

Hey, thanks for your Gothic additions and welcome to en.wiktionary! Since you seem to know what you're doing I'll skip the standard welcome template (this one: {{welcome}}). In any case: it's always nice to see others interested in Gothic on this wiki. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 09:50, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I’m happy to help! I’m new to making edits on wiktionary, but I’m a long time user. I’ve been studying Gothic for two years so I figured I can contribute my knowledge. Garnetskull (talk) 20:09, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Good to hear, it's a beautiful language and there's plenty of work left to be done here on it and on other ancient and medieval languages. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 09:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Feel free to correct any inevitable mistakes I may make when editing. Also, is there a way I can view which Gothic entries need editing? Garnetskull (talk) 22:40, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

For things to do, have a look at e.g.:

• Category:Requests for etymologies in Gothic entries and Category:Requests for attention concerning Gothic
• Category:Gothic romanizations without a main entry
• WT:AGOT.

There's always something to do. The main thing for now, I think, is making sure every romanization (which were mass-imported from Streitberg's edition of the Gothic Bible in 2011ish) has an actual Gothic-script entry corresponding to it - a pretty big project which has been going on for a while, but it's nearing completion (compare the romanizations without a main entry category with Category:Gothic romanizations - we're about 85% of the way there).

Furthermore, proper nouns were for the most part not imported, so you can mine http://www.wulfila.be/gothic/browse/lemmata/?pos=1 for names of people and places and add them manually, as I did e.g. at 𐌿𐍆𐌹𐍄𐌰𐌷𐌰𐍂𐌹 (ufitahari). Furthermore, the Gothica Bononiensia and some other minor fragments that aren't in Streitberg's edition (the calendar, Naples/Arezzo deeds, etc.) were not imported. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 11:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Another thing I like to do is, when I create an entry for a lemma, to also add all its attested declined/conjugated forms (only attested forms are added, see WT:AGOT for details) in one go. I've done that for now on the entries you created, e.g. with the form 𐍈𐌰𐌸𐌾𐌹𐌸 (ƕaþjiþ) which is attested. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 11:51, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
