Hello, and thanks for your Russian entries! Here's the standard welcome message.

Welcome edit

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!

Grave accents don't go in headwords or links edit

One of the conventions we follow in Wiktionary is not to put grave accents in headwords, links, etc. They only go in pronunciation sections. You originally created по́го-сти́к (pógo-stík) as по̀го-сти́к (pògo-stík); I corrected it, you then undid the correction, and I have corrected it again. The principle we follow is to mark secondary accents as primary accents in words separated by a hyphen (e.g. по́го-сти́к (pógo-stík)), and to not mark them at all on single words without hyphens in them (e.g. оргкомите́т (orgkomitét)).

@Benwing2 Thanks, that was a mistake and done when I was going through a process of fixing broken links which occurred in pages that I originally created after your bot did auto-accent, such as подбой (podboj). Now I see there was no problem with auto-accent in the page по́го-сти́к (pógo-stík). spu 06:29, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

цикламен edit

Hello,

There are a few problems with your edit.

  1. Bulgarian and Russian pronunciations are very different, so are templates and modules. You can't use templates from one language in another. You used {{bg-IPA|цикламе́н}} in a Russian entry, making the pronunciation [t͡sikɫɐˈmɛn] when it should be [t͡sɨklɐˈmʲen].
  2. цикламе́н (ciklamén) is a masculine noun, not a neuter. You made it a neuter {{ru-noun+|цикламе́н|n}}. Was it a wrong guess or you just don't care so much about these things?
  3. "n" in the declension table {{ru-noun-table|цикламе́н|n}} is meaningless.
  4. Language sections are separated by four hyphens on a line of its own. ----.

@Atitarev That was done quickly and the errors are noted. Thanks for your edit. --spu 11:53, 12 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

OK. {{ping}} doesn't work without the actual user signature in the same edit. You don't type your user name. You need to add four tildes: ~~~~ to the end of you post or click the third button from the top left of your edit window. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 11:22, 12 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
