Sinta-se a vontade para explorar suas possibilidades. O nosso [[wikcionário]] fica mais forte se você nos ajudar a corrigir falhas ortográficas, gramaticais, erros nas ligações ou na formatação dos textos. Tudo bem. É isso mesmo que nós esperamos de você. Antes de tudo, seja responsável. Considere a seriedade desse projeto e mãos a obra. Capriche, mostre o melhor de si mesmo e não se sinta intimidado. Essa página é sua, como de todo mundo que chegar. Especialmente se você domina um assunto, participe.
==Observação importante==
Novatos se entusiasmam com a liberdade do sistema '''wiki''' e vão fundo na edição dos verbetes. Ótimo! Apenas um detalhe: '''seja corajoso ao atualizar uma página''' não significa que você pode apagar verbetes, mesmo parcialmente. A regra é, salvo em casos de violação de [[Wikcionário:Direitos autorais|direitos de autor]], nunca se deve apagar informação com que não concorde. Em vez disso, corrija e complemente e, caso lhe pareça que a alteração que pretende fazer possa levantar polêmica, proponha-a primeiro na página de discussão do artigo em questão. Tenha um pouco de paciência e aguarde as respostas. Se ninguém discordar, proceda com a alteração.

''Em fase de tradução:''
The Wikipedia community exhorts users to be [[wiktionary:bold|bold]] in updating articles.
[[Wiki]]s develop faster when people fix problems, correct grammar, add facts, make sure the language is precise, and so on.
It's okay.
It's what everyone expects.
So you should never ask, "[[Wikipedia:Why Aren't These Pages Copyedited|Why aren't these pages copyedited]]?"
Amazingly, it all works out.
It does require some amount of politeness, but it works.
You'll see.
If someone writes an inferior or merely humorous article or article stub,
or outright [[wikipedia:patent nonsense|patent nonsense]], don't worry about their feelings.
Correct it, add to it, and, if it's a total waste of time, replace it
with [[wikipedia:brilliant prose|brilliant prose]] (and relegate the deletions to [[bad jokes and other deleted nonsense]] or the corresponding [[talk page]]).
That's the nature of a Wiki.
For the most part, the instinctive desire of an author to "own" what he has written is counterproductive here, and it is good to shake up that emotional attachment by making sweeping changes at will when it improves the result.
And of course, others here will boldly and mercilessly edit what ''you'' write.
Don't take it personally. They, like all of us, just want to make Wikipedia the best it can be.
==Important caveat==
New users in particular are often entranced by the openness of [[:Wikipedia]] and dive right in.
That's a good thing.
But please note: ''be bold in updating pages'' does ''not'' mean that you should make deletions to long articles on complex, controversial subjects with long histories, such as [[Israeli-Palestinian conflict]] or [[Abortion]].
In many such cases, the text as you find it has come into being after long and arduous negotiations between Wikipedians of diverse backgrounds and points of view.
An incautious edit to such an article can be akin to stirring up a hornet's nest, and other users who are involved in the page may react angrily.
If you encounter an article on a controversial subject that you would like to edit, first read the comments on the talk page and view the ''Page history'' to get a sense of how the article came into being and what its current status is.
Then, if you want to change or delete anything substantial in the text, you should either:
# Move it to the Talk page, if it is a sentence or so, and list your objections.
# Only list your objections to the section on the Talk page if it is longer.
Then, wait a bit for responses. If no one objects, proceed. But always move large deletions to Talk and list your objections to the text so that other people will understand your changes and will be able to follow the history of the page.
But don't let that scare you off! With the vast majority of articles, feel free to dive right in and make sweeping changes as you see fit. It's only with a few very sensitive subjects that caution is the better approach, and you'll recognize those right away.
