Welcome
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 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! —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 04:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

murfle
Please don't copy stuff verbatim from other sources, as you did from here. That's copyvio and I had to delete the entry. Additionally, stuff from Urban Dictionary is somewhat too amateurish for use on Wiktionary: make sure you know precisely what part of speech the word is and make a definition that is of the same part of speech. For example, murfle was listed as a verb, but the definition was a noun phrase: "the sound made...". Another consideration is whether it passes WT:CFI, which it might or might not—I haven't checked. If you need any help feel free to ask on my talk page or the WT:ID. —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 04:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
