A couple of notes, and a welcome
There are some things that we do differently on Wiktionary that you should be aware of:
 * We're a descriptive dictionary, so if something is used in a certain language, we include it- even if it's clearly wrong. We tag incorrect entries with things like, or , so people will know not to use it if they care about it being judged incorrect.
 * We try to avoid redirects most of the time, because we can have many languages with terms spelled with the same letters. The only time we would use a redirect is when we're certain that no other language anywhere will have a term spelled the same. Instead, we'll use things like or  to link to the correct form.

Those are just what I've noticed by skimming through your recent edits. I don't speak the language, so I don't have any idea about the content. I'm mentioning this so you won't unintentionally create problems for others to clean up- I'm not implying that you're deliberately doing anything wrong. I might as well give you our standard welcome message, since we're always glad to have new contributors, and it will give you lots of information about editing here.

 * Thanks. I'm an experienced Wikipedia editor, but I'm not too familiar with Wiktionary policies -- obviously. I didn't know about the redirect rule. As for my entry at len, it's a hypercorrection: such misspelling is unlikely for a native speaker of Serbian (and the entry was created by a Croatian speaker). Just as if a BrEn speaker would write treatize writing an AmEn text, by reasoning "Yanks always use -ize". No such user (talk) 14:24, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
