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 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!
 * The entries you recently created are non-idiomatic, the verb +  or .  As such they have been deleted in the past and will likely be deleted again.  Take a look at the criteria for inclusion above for more information on this topic.  Thank you for your interest in contributing, sorry for the confusion around sum-of-parts entries. - TheDaveRoss 16:19, 21 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't know, then, why "go number two" is not an acceptable addition but "go number one" is acceptable. If "go number one" is an acceptable page to have here, "go number two" should be also because there is no difference in usage or origin between the two phrases.  They are used in conjunction with each other as valid, accepted euphemisms for urination and defecation, respectively.


 * Furthermore, I'm hardly a "new" editor. I have been a member on English Wikipedia since October 2014 and am a rollbacker there.  I am dismayed that my contributions are basically being discarded here and that I'm being pegged as a vandal (also see my abuse log entry, which is that extensive because of a simple syntax error) even though my aim is to contribute constructively, just as I do on English Wikipedia.


 * Thank you,

 * You are right about, that one should probably be deleted as well. The discussions for both are on the Requests for Deletion page where they can be discussed.  We use the abuse filter to notify contributors of certain types of problems on the page, it is not meant to imply that you are a vandal.  The name "abuse filter" is unfortunate, only some of the filters are aimed at vandalism prevention.  Finally, I hope that you didn't find the above message demeaning, all but the last sentence about  etc. are the boilerplate welcome template and just there to provide links.  Thank you for your desire to contribute here, I hope you will continue to do so. - TheDaveRoss 11:21, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I understand about the welcome message - it's what I figured. Why are "go number one", etc. considered inappropriate pages?  Wiktionary has pages about basically every other related word or term, with high-quality articles on pee, poop, and the like.  I'm just wondering what the notability or use requirements are for something to be added here.


 * Thank you,

 * The main consideration in this case is not notability (or, as we judge things here, attestability) or appropriateness but rather whether or not the term is idiomatic. For multi-word terms in English the main check is whether the meaning of the term is easily derived from an understanding of the component terms.  We do include, ,  and .  Each of these, when combined with one meaning of the term  create a term which doesn't have any meaning which isn't easily derived from the parts.  The same can be said of other terms,  is of the same type.  While those are the general rules, such things often result in discussion at the WT:RFD page.  There isn't a lot of consistency in the results, we have  and  but we have voted to exclude  (you can read the vote on the talk page there). - TheDaveRoss 14:19, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I understand completely; thank you for clarifying this for me. I'm sorry if my initial tone seemed blunt or rude.  --YITYNR What's wrong? 14:35, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
