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.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I already edited here and there, created one new page and added a missing template variant for noun declension in marathi. I think I understood already a bit of the basics (I am software developer using markdown on a daily basis), but am sometimes unsure about the workflow process whom to ask for advice and how and where, when I spot some unclarities / mistakes? But I will figure it out. Undekagon30 (talk) 19:55, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

You've done a fine job asking for help so far. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:27, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you.

I checked the number of registered user which are marathi native or near native and still active (and have good knowledge of the grammar plus the templating mechanism for noun declension / verb conjugations), looks like less than a handful.

I think my actual knowledge is good enough to give it a try to classify all nouns properly and when in doubt ask my marathi real life friends if I am right and to add everywhere the missing declensions, but I am not sure and would appreciate some other person to "code review" this specifically, because I don't want to mess up anything. I am also in search of a quality marathi online grammar I can trust.

(so far only found digital scans of old grammars at archives.org and some blogs for language beginners, but nothing I would not like to get cross checked, by somebody who actually knows well)

wiktionary is my main source of reference for vocabulary learning besides th two here always referenced dictionaries from the university of chicago (Berntsen, Molesworth). That is why I started to add and clean up here, because I want a good quality learning resource for myself which I can trust.

Nice. I'm really happy to have you here. I'm totally ignorant of all Indian languages other than English, so I can't actually help you in that regard, but if you have questions about how to contribute, please let me know. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:52, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Okay, Danke. You at least know Deutsch, Hebrew and Greek (scripts), that is already cool.Thanks again for the warm welcome here Undekagon30 (talk) 09:48, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
