Overview
Wiktionary is a multiple-language (multilingual) free dictionary and thesaurus, being written collaboratively on this website. Entries are edited by anyone—records of changes are kept. Several hundred thousand articles have been created since starting in December, 2002, and its growing rapidly. Ordinary people are very active in building this project; it is likely that right now someone is editing some entry. Already at work have been many knowledgeable people, but everybody is welcome!
Some might expect Wiktionary to be a low-quality product because it is open for everybody to edit. But, perhaps the fact it is open to everyone creates the potential for making a lot of these definitions pretty good, and ever-improving. To use a now-famous catchphrase in essence: "Given enough eyeballs, all errors are shallow." We tend to cater to the highest. "Lower common denominators" tend politely not to touch articles they know nothing about! We hope you have fun.
