Welcome
editHello, 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! — This unsigned comment was added by Jackofclubs (talk • contribs) at 09:03, 6 June 2009 (UTC).
Translations
editHi when adding translations please note that you can add multiple translations at once before saving; just type in the first translation, click the button to add it and then repeat the process as many times as you need to and finally click to save it when you are ready. This helps as it means there are less edits for the server to process. 50 Xylophone Players talk 20:27, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Duplicate translations
editI have removed a few duplicate Swahili entries. I hadn't looked to see if they are all yours, but the last one was. It seems to be all too easy to make duplicate entries without realizing it. It happened to one person who was able to correct the problem. If you check your entries when the entry process isn't smooth, you might be able to figure out what makes it happen and either avoid or correct it. Happy translating!

- Still more duplicates from today. Can you fix this please? DCDuring TALK 23:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
