diuers, dyvers, dyuers
Were these used in modern English (after the year 1500)? DTLHS (talk) 01:17, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "diuers" was used in Early Modern English &amp; Middle English alongside "diuerse" prior to around the 1630's(when the modern convention with u/v &amp; i/j was made). "dyuers" was used at least till the 1530's.  "dyvers" is sometimes used in partially modernized transcriptions of Middle/Early Modern English works &amp; by people who write "ye olde englissche"(not to be confused with "ye auld kynd of engli&#383;ch").

Headword for alternate spellings
Hi, all entries should have a head template and part of speech header, even alternative spellings. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 12:15, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Entries without a part of speech
Hi Justin. A lot of your recent entries lack a POS. Many also lack a headword line, but it’s easy to add a barebones HWL once you know the POS. — Ungoliant (falai) 12:15, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Middle English
Middle English is a separate language. Middle English spellings are not alternative forms of English (iebat). DTLHS (talk) 02:28, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll keep that in mind in the future, but I've only been doing that when the Modern English form/spelling was also used in Middle English and the meaning is the same(in this case, gibbet was sometimes used in Middle English, and the meaning(a gallows or a displayer of bodies) is the same. JustinCB (talk) 02:35, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * That doesn't matter. Just keep them separated and treat Middle English as any other non-English language. DTLHS (talk) 02:38, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If you want iebat to be an alternative form of gibbet, that's fine, just use and add a Middle English entry to gibbet. DTLHS (talk) 02:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll do that or something else for to keep them separate when I edit on them in the future. I'll try for to think on them as separate languages, &amp; not Middle English as an archaick form of English, at least in the context of Wiktionary(though it's sometimes hard to tell Middle English from Early Modern English).

Edit quality
Please be more careful when editing, there are many issues with your changes: missing POS tags, wrong L2 headers, spelling mistakes, missing spaces, use of HTML tags instead of wiki markup etc. Have a look how other entries are formatted as guideline. – Jberkel 08:30, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
