Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary!

If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own. Please take a moment to learn our basics before jumping in.

First, all articles should be in our standard format, even if they are not yet complete. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with it. You can use one of our pre-defined article templates by typing the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hitting 'Go'.

Notice that article titles are case-sensitive and are not capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized (Poland or January). Also, take a moment to familiarize yourself with our criteria for inclusion, since Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia. Don't go looking for a Village pump – we have a Beer parlour. Note that while Wikipedia likes redirects, Wiktionary deletes most redirects, (especially spelling variations) in favor of short entries. Please do not copy entries here from Wikipedia if they are in w:CAT:MtW; request the full history import instead, at WT:ID.

Finally, you can link Wikipedia pages, including your user page, using pagename,, or. Please do not create redirects to Wikipedia pages, though. They don't work.

We hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary and being a Wiktionarian. --Versageek 02:10, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

diablo
This word is not in any of my Italian dictionaries. It is not in it.wiktionary, and the entry in it.wikipedia does not mention the meaning given. I shall remove the Italian entry - but you may add it again if you can provide evidence. SemperBlotto 07:55, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yet the "Italian" word "diablo" is used as a cross reference on Diablo.—Ryūlóng ( 竜龍 ) 15:44, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That was added by User:Ncik - who does not have Italian in his babel list. SemperBlotto 15:46, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Here is the explanation from it:wikipedia - - - Il nome Diablo, ispirato come da tradizione Lamborghini al mondo dei tori e delle corride, è legato alla leggenda di El Diablo (Il Diavolo in spagnolo), feroce toro allevato dal Duca di Veragua nel XIX secolo, che l'11 luglio 1869 a Madrid si scontrò in un epico combattimento con il famoso torero José De Lara, detto El Chicorro.

Macrons
Hi,

Please don't go changing the rules and changing the romanisation of Japanese before there is an agreement about it. The recent discoveries need to be confirmed if they are valid, even if confirmed, it doesn't automatically change the way we romanise Japanese words here. Thank you for understanding. --Anatoli (обсудить) 03:51, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The rules on this project regarding Hepburn romanization have been wrong for several years. I am just trying to bring it in line with how Wikipedia treats these articles. The Japanese long A and long E are never transliterated as A and E with macrons.—Ryūlóng ( 竜龍 ) 11:05, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * The rules at Wiktionary don't have to match Wikipedia. We have thousands of entries and translations with existing romanisation and any changes should be discussed and agreed on. I haven't seen Japanese speaking editors favouring the revised Hepburn system. --Anatoli (обсудить) 12:15, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The revised system is still what is used in English academia.—Ryūlóng ( 竜龍 ) 20:15, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * You're not getting my point. There are users here who use a method they have agreed on. Nothing changes without an agreement. You can't expect to come in casually (you don't have a lot of contributions here), change the rules and expect everyone to follow them. You're welcome to join the discussion. --Anatoli (обсудить) 21:27, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The method has never been agreed on, but it is just a proposal. I am merely fixing things that I see in great error.—Ryūlóng ( 竜龍 ) 23:46, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
