Welcome edit
Welcome!
Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page 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.
- Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
- Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
- The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
- We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
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! --Ivan Štambuk 16:14, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Map edit
The map on your userpage contained the flag of illegal entity of Kosovo. Some of our users find that map a very disturbing sight indeed. Unlike our sister-project Wikipedia, we openly dis-encourage userpage content that is not directly supportive of project goals, specifically a type of content advocating politically controversial topics outside the scope of this lexicographically-oriented project. Instead, you should try putting e.g. Babel boxes demonstrating your language skills, timezone info, or and anything that would either facilitate cooperation with other editors or tell us something about your interests here. Regards, --Ivan Štambuk 16:23, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- FYI, there is discussion of this at [[Wiktionary:Beer parlour#political_POV_on_user_pages]].—msh210℠ 16:28, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Belgrade edit
Nobody in Croatia calls Belgrade Biograd. Obsolete, archaic and generally substandard words (dialects, neologisms, slang etc.) should not be used in translation tables. Only the most common words should appear there. Other less-used synonyms or various variants can then be linked from such entry. --Ivan Štambuk 12:49, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Your nationalism-motivated vandalism is unwelcome. If you do this in the future, you'll be blocked for a very long time. --Ivan Štambuk 11:16, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
