 * I want to chat with you more because sometimes I make erroneous changes that I want to change and I don't think I can change the mistakes by myself.
 * Right now I have an issue in the page that I just created about the word: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Chincoteague_pony
 * It should have been "Chincoteague Pony" instead of "Chincoteague Pony".
 * Are there any more easier way for me to get help (by the community) than just me being here trying to get help by you, Equinox? The Dictionary Man20 (talk) 22:45, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * instead of "Chincoteague pony"

 * I think this minor thing about "Chincoteague Pony" instead of "Chincoteague pony" is not bothering anyways, there is no correct way. Either way is correct.. no need change on this word, Equinox. I guess. The Dictionary Man20 (talk) 22:50, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * "Are there any more easier way for me to get help (by the community) than just me being here trying to get help by you, Equinox?"
 * I suggest posting on Tea room. There's also Information desk, which is more geared toward helping new users, but fewer people respond there. 98.170.164.88 22:54, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information, but wait.. but is your IP address visible????? The Dictionary Man20 (talk) 22:55, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Copyright
Hi, you can't just copy definitions from other sites like Webster, due to copyright law. Equinox ◑ 23:50, 9 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hmm, sorry.. I took it from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cobalt%20green (sense 2), I "thought" modifying the definition would make it possible to abide by the copyright law.
 * Please, I want to see the copyrights terms of service/laws if you want to link it. The Dictionary Man20 (talk) 23:55, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Then, when I am just copying text / definitions from Wikipedia I have to add "Further reading" or anything more into the page, yes? The Dictionary Man20 (talk) 09:48, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Additionally, I created this page about the horse breed "Akhal-Teke", I want to reference it that I took information from Wikipedia.. should I do it and how to do it properly?

Copying from Wikipedia
You should be careful about taking stuff from Wikipedia - we don't count it for WT:CFI and it's filled with protologisms that are unattestable. Vininn126 (talk) 23:32, 12 December 2022 (UTC)


 * It's also not a good idea to plagiarize, which is what you're doing at the moment, as it suggests you're not putting much thought into things. The first line of a Wikipedia article might be a good introduction to a topic, but it frequently doesn't give as much information as a good definition would. For example, your definition of is on the same level as defining  as "a kind of animal". Not enough. Theknightwho (talk) 23:39, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I need help please! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Jagdterrier
 * I am trying to link the word (definition of the word in the definition) but the definition of the word (quarry) have multiple / different definitions and I want to link to the 2nd definition, how to do that? The Dictionary Man20 (talk) 09:39, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Why did you create the entry fulva e a lobeira? The phrase doesn't seem to be used at all except on one Wikipedia article and various sites that have copied from Wikipedia. 70.172.194.25 05:07, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
