Hello, Naleksuh, and welcome to the Simple English Wiktionary!

We hope you will be happy editing here. Some helpful pages to begin with are Wiktionary:Community Portal, Wiktionary:Useful, Help:Contents, Wiktionary:Rules, Wiktionary:How to change a page, and Help:Creating a new entry.

If you want to talk with other members or ask a question, you can visit Wiktionary:Simple talk. Administrators can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. Just remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

Good luck and happy editing! Minorax (talk) 04:52, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

@Minorax: Hello, and thank you. Wiktionary is a confusing website to me, but hopefully I will learn to understand it. I will also send you e-mail with private question, be sure to check for that. Naleksuh (talk) 05:21, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Defining style

Our defining style uses full sentences. Infinitives like "to pick something up" are not used. Second person is embraced and used throughout the site. These style issues are longstanding and the idea is to make the language as comfortable and simple as possible.--Brett (talk) 16:19, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

@Brett: The disparage says "To ridicule, mock, discredit. " which is not second person nor is it a complete sentence. Not that I am saying you are wrong, but can you explain what is going on here? This wiki does not appear to have Manual Of Style or any other alternative and I am a bit confused.... Naleksuh (talk) 17:50, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

@Naleksuh: It's no surprise that there are a number of pages that do so. If, however, you take a good sample, I'm very confident that you will see there is a broadly consistent style. You can see this explained in Wiktionary:Entry_layout_explained.--Brett (talk) 18:04, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
