[edit]Welcome!
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary! We notice that you're making changes anonymously. Although this is perfectly all right, we'd like to encourage you to take the time to create an account and sign in to it when editing – it's free and easy. A list of good reasons to do so is at Wiktionary:Why create an account?.
Please note that we are not Wikipedia. If you have edited there, then it won't be very difficult for you to find your way here, but there are a number of differences. For example, Wiktionary is case-sensitive: Kind (German) is not the same as kind (English, Danish, Dutch etc.) Also note that Wiktionary uses no parenthetic disambiguation, so where Wikipedia might have separate articles on Mercury (planet), Mercury (element), and Mercury (mythology), Wiktionary will only have one entry on Mercury which addresses proper noun uses, and an entry on mercury which addresses regular noun uses.
Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Questionable entries will be listed for verification, and, if they fail that process, will be deleted. Also, keep in mind our copyright policies: don't copy material from copyrighted sources here. Such additions will be deleted on sight. Submissions from IP addresses are looked at more closely, unfortunately, so please take a minute to create an account.
If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question in the appropriate discussion room or ask me on my talk page.

Additions to Indonesian etymologies
[edit]Hi, I have seen you have made additions to many Indonesian entries. Please note that mere changes in spelling conventions (as from van Ophuizen to EYD) generally do not belong in the Etymology section, when we're dealing with the same word with the same pronunciation in the same language. – Austronesier (talk) 13:17, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
Have a look at kaca as an example how to correctly add historical spellings. –Austronesier (talk) 13:28, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
This is the discussion page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet or who does not use it. We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify them. Such an IP address can be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users.
