Wiktionary is a multilingual dictionary written in the English language. As such, it includes definitions, etymologies, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms and translations. While Wiktionary seeks to include all words in all languages, the project has a defined scope with specific criteria for inclusion, which can be found at <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Criteria_for_inclusion>. Articles which do not meet the criteria for inclusion may be deleted by the Wiktionary administrators. Such requirements include that the word be in widespread use, as defined by citations in the form of examples of usages in peer-reviewed journals or other permanently recorded media. Such citations should demonstrate independence of use; words restricted to a narrow usage, like a single body of literature, are also not within Wiktionary's scope. Furthermore, Wiktionary does not accept words newer than one year of age. Your word, coined by yourself recently, does not appear to merit inclusion in a general purpose dictionary.
We hope your are not discouraged and would still like to become a productive Wiktionarian! Please see the tutorial at <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Tutorial> for more information on getting involved in Wiktionary.

I am afraid that the Wikimedia Foundation is not able to help you with this request. As an organization that relies entirely on volunteer work, Wikimedia doesn't have the resources to research questions unrelated to its projects.
However, on Wiktionary's sister project, Wikipedia, there is a page called the Reference Desk, where various volunteers try to answer questions such as yours: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk>. Instructions for using the Reference Desk are on this page.
Though there is no guarantee that they can provide an answer, they are often able. Please be specific in your question so that others can better assist you! Sorry I couldn't be of more help; good luck in finding the answer to your question.

Wiktionary is a free project run by a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charity, the Wikimedia Foudation. As such it depends on donations, which are tax deductible in the United States and elsewhere.

[edit] Vandalism fixed

First, please allow me to extend a sincere thank you on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation for taking time out of your day to alert us of this problem. I'm happy to inform you that the article has been fixed.
As you may already know, Wiktionary is a "wiki" (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki>), which means that anyone visiting the site can edit or add to pages. At the top of each page is an "edit" tab, clicking this allows the page to be edited. In this way, we are creating a collaborative dictionary, written by visitors to the site.
Wiktionary, by its own nature, is open to undesirable edits (as anyone can edit), but most of these are corrected by other editors within a very short time. We have a "recent changes" page that allows users to check edits as they happen, and "watch lists" that allow logged-in editors to closely monitor pages they are interested in. In extreme cases we can "lock" pages from receiving edits for a while, but generally the page can be reopened for editing after a short time as most edits we receive improve our articles.
You are welcome to revert vandalism yourself; in fact, we very much appreciate the help. See <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Reverting#How_to_revert> for instructions.
You can read more about us at: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary>
Again, thank you very much your kindness in writing about the problem you saw and please don't hesitate to get back in touch with any future comments or questions.

Wiktionary is a multilingual dictionary written in the English language. As such, it includes definitions, etymologies, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms and translations. While Wiktionary seeks to include all words in all languages, the project has a defined scope with specific criteria for inclusion, which can be found at <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Criteria_for_inclusion>. Articles which do not meet the criteria for inclusion may be deleted by the Wiktionary administrators. Such requirements include that the word be in widespread use, as defined by citations in the form of examples of usages in peer-reviewed journals or other permanently recorded media. Such citations should demonstrate independence of use; words restricted to a narrow usage, like a single body of literature, are also not within Wiktionary's scope. Furthermore, Wiktionary does not accept words newer than one year of age. If your word still seems appropriate for Wiktionary, it may simply have been deleted as a misspelling or misconstruction.
Sometimes entries are deleted because they are so poorly formatted or worded that they are deemed unsalvageable, or mistaken for a test or vandalism. If you have read over the criteria for inclusion and believe your word, or a different word, still qualifies, please read and follow the guide to proper formatting of our entries at <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Entry_layout_explained>.
The best way to find out why your submission was deleted, and to get advice on the matter, is to contact the administrator that deleted it. To do so, search at <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Log/delete> by entering the article's title into the "Title:" box. You will get a log entry of the deletion, with the deleting administrator's username and a link next to the name called "Talk". You can communicate with the administrator by editing their talk page.
Thank you for contacting us with this question, and hopefully these suggestions will help you to discover why your article was deleted. We hope your are not discouraged and would still like to become a productive Wiktionarian! Please see the tutorial at <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Tutorial> for more information on getting involved in Wiktionary.
[edit] You can edit

Wiktionary is a wiki, which means that anyone can edit it and freely create articles without seeking permission. At the top of each page is an "edit" label. Try it for example at <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Sandbox>. You don't even need to log in to edit, although creating an account gives you more options and helps you keep track of your contributions. You can create an account at: <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Userlogin>. Please see <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Welcome,_newcomers> for more information. You can go to any page and use the edit button to change it or submit a new definition. Of course, Wiktionary is governed by content guidelines.

Wiktionary also has style guidelines, which you can see at <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Entry_layout_explained>. When you edit, it would be best to try to understand and follow this format as closely as possible, but don't be afraid of making a mistake. Since Wiktionary is a wiki, there will be other editors to help you with style, while you learn.
