User talk:Pharaoh Amun

Welcome, and thank you so much for your contributions with Wolof! I appreciate your contributions very much. Firstly, I have a couple notes to help with creating entries: there's no need to put Category:Wolof nouns at the bottom, because the template does that automatically. A useful category to put at the bottom is one for the type of thing it is, like Category:wo:Fruits, Category:wo:Vegetables, or Category:wo:Grains. It would be great if you could add those in the future.

Also, when there are multiple forms of a single word, like and, our practice is to choose the more common one to house the word, and have the other one be an  (with the main one having an ===Alternative forms=== section). Take a look at those two and you'll see what I did, so you can copy that.

Please just ask me if you have any questions or need any help with anything on Wiktionary. I've given you the standard welcome message below, but there's no need to read it all, just extra reference if you want it. Thanks!

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! —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:03, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Greenlandic
Hello Pharaoh Amun,

Thank you very much for your contributions to Greenlandic; it's a language that is largely neglected here on Wiktionary. Two things, though: If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them. You can use " " to get my attention.__Gamren (talk) 18:47, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) We require that words are verifiable, ideally meaning that they can be found used in Greenlandic-language texts (this is what WT:ATTEST is about), or, failing that, in reliable dictionaries, scholarly works and the like. We don't, however, use Wikipedia or other Wikimedia sites as sources.  and  are good in this regard, but  and  I cannot find attested anywhere. Did you find them, or did you form them yourself?
 * 2) I have already made an entry for +li, but I did it at . Derivational affixes, I always add with a hyphen in front, because that makes it easier to use the template  in etymology sections (and then I use the  template in entries to specify whether the affix is additive or truncative and some other things, see e.g.  and ), and since all enclitcs are additive anyway, writing "+" doesn't really add any new information. I've codified my practices on WT:AKL, but since I've been working completely alone, that page doesn't actually hold any authority and is open to changes.
 * Oh, and timarit.is, sermitsiaq.gl and knr.gl can be used as corpora. If you know Danish, http://www.ilinniusiorfik.gl/oqaatsit/daka is a decent dictionary. What material have you been using?__Gamren (talk) 19:02, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
