I read some of the stuff at https://www.wordnik.com/about ... and one of the things that struck me, was the little paragraph that says, quote :
((((
Wordnik doesn't yet allow user-contributed definitions. If you'd like to add a definition, you can log in and leave a comment.
))))
That first sentence "... doesn't yet allow ..." could be a bit of an exaggeration; ... because Wordnik DOES seem to include -- at least, some of the time -- definitions "from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License"!
...and -- (as some of you might already know) -- Wiktionary DOES already allow user-contributed definitions. (!!)
Therefore, it would seem that, at least in some cases, it is possible for some "user-contributed definitions", to find their way in to Wordnik. (The "user" of Wordnik, might have to be -- or become -- a "user" of Wiktionary "also"; ... but that is probably possible.)
Just a picayune nit-pick, or OCD quibble, or whatever ... from Mike Schwartz .. mike000schwartz .. schwartz@acm.org .. and here is a web page with some "social media" links for me ... including some profile pages of mine ... such as e.g. on LinkedIn and on facebook. :-) !July 24, 2014

mike000schwartz commented on the word incisiveness
I noticed that, at the entry for incisiveness,
-- https://www.wordnik.com/words/incisiveness --
the second definition contains a TYPO! -- it says "forcefulnelss".
IMHO it should end with "ness", instead of "nelss". (right?)
Is there a correct place to submit such a squawk? (a TYPO report)? How about here? :-) !
