Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Guillemet
At Guillemet, you added Czech to the list so that it reads: "Guillemets are used pointing inwards (»like this«) to indicate speech in these languages: Could you explain what you mean by the phrase marked usage? That it is seen occasionally but is rare? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:38, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Czech (marked usage; „...“ prevails)"


 * Yes. The use of this type of quotation marks was more common in the past. Nowadays, they appear mainly in fiction (for example, the use in newspapers in the minimal). The situation is very similar to Slovak (I am fairly sure), so I copied the phrase from there. — Winety (talk) 08:53, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've changed it to "traditional but declining usage" but feel free to improve that wording. A citation would be good if you have one. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:09, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
