ramikite-(Y)

I've moved this to the capital Y form since that seems to be how it's written, in reference to the chemical symbol Y for yttrium. (Not sure it meets WT:CFI, though: some of these mineral names are very obscure.)

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 on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; 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.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

When you are doing minerals, if the name comes from a person's name, you can add [[Category:English eponyms]], which will put the word in the eponym category. Up to you. Equinox ◑ 20:11, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

You rolled back my edit on blep. It failed the verification process after more than a year of waiting for citations. Kiwima (talk) 19:47, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

@Kiwima Hi! There was at least one citation on there - are more needed? I'm not familiar with the verification process so is there a policy I could refer to for any future RFV pages? Thanks, Gazamp (talk) 17:44, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

@Gazamp: Yes. The Criteria for inclusion can be found here. In short, for English you need three citations in permanently archived media. Kiwima (talk) 18:33, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

@Kiwima: Thank you - so if I can find two more citations, I should revert it and add them? Gazamp (talk) 18:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

If you find two more citations, you can add it back in. However, be warned that some people are very picky about where you find the citations. Kiwima (talk) 19:29, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
