 * 1) Characterized by or constituting irony.
 * a. The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
 * b. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
 * c. A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect.
 * 1) Given to the use of irony. See Also sarcastic.
 * 2) Poignantly contrary to what was expected or intended

Breaking single definitions into multiple senses (and some subsenses) does not enhance the entry, but does (pointlessly) make linking translations harder; especially when all the meanings and subsenses say pretty much the same thing. Removing other's definitions and examples not justified on talk page or elsewhere. Could be another musical fan hiding behind an anonymous IP address, trying again. -- [ Connel MacKenzie] 04:09, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I disagree with the above characterization of the removed text. No professional dictionary uses the sense 'extremely improbable' to describe irony or ironic.  I defy you to find one that does.  Second, you are wrong to say the entry is not enhanced.  To confuse distinct meanings as 'pretty much the same thing' shows that you want a dictionary which is bland and colorless.
 * --Fred Nugen, 24.27.9.13 14:33, 30 March 2007 (UTC).
 * the current examples don't seem all that ironic. Maybe this entry could be improved by referencing the wikipedia article on irony, which seems quite good. 172.159.6.178 14:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I too find the above definitions better than the one present definition. --King Mir00:43, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Bruce Campbell and the chainsaw
I fail to understand why is it ironic. It reminds me of Alanis Morissette's Ironic (song). -62.219.97.87 12:31, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Einstein
er, the entire statement about einstein doesn't even make sense. were it actually true, how is the behavior of an old man despite being anything when they were young constitute a contradictory notion? someone needs to find a better example of irony, as that one fails on many levels.

How about the common, though often considered incorrect, usage to indicate some coincidences?
Nowadays it's quite common for some people to say for example that someone dieing in a fire while wearing a t-shirt that says "Hot Stuff" or a coke(the drug) dealer getting arrested for stealing a can of Coke (the soft drink) etc is ironical, all sorts of things that technicly shouldn't be considered ironic (like pretty much everything mentioned in that Alanis song) many people still accept as somthing that could be described as ironic(al). Given the widespread acceptance of this "new" interpretation of the meaning among English speakers, don't you think the dictionary should include this as well (even if adding a note about the controversy regarding the correctness of it) ? --TiagoTiago 06:09, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes it should be included. Previous efforts to add such a definition have been unintelligible IMHO. I think the contributors felt a need to lovingly expand in the definition on the distinctions they were making. As always, it is best to start with real examples, preferably that would stand for attestation. In order to distinguish the definition from the existing ones, the examples would probably have to be fairly long, including a great deal on context, and include a url for even more context. DCDuring TALK 11:56, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I think a friend of mine described the "Alanis sense" succinctly when he said it meant "That's a bummer." --EncycloPetey 14:55, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Nontraditional sense
From the entry:
 * 1)  Both coincidental and contradictory in a humorous or poignant and very improbable way.
 * It is ironic that Einstein, who was such a revolutionary young man, was reduced to irrational denial of quantum mechanics in his later years.

This sense was rolled into the general sense, because it is simply a specific kind of "characterized by irony", and the decision was made at WT:RFV to treat this sense at irony, not at every derived word. See RFV for details. - -sche (discuss) 02:27, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

RFV
Rfv-sense: Both coincidental and contradictory in a humorous or poignant and very improbable way.

It is about time that we get citations for this persistently inserted and never cited sense (and variants). DCDuring TALK 03:18, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * This reference isn't already good enough?: L3lackEyedAngels 20:07, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No. That is somebody's Weblog. Equinox ◑ 22:47, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not somebody's weblog. It's The New York Times' Art Beat and Bob Harris, "a 13-time “Jeopardy!” contestant and a television writer", wrote the post in question. That said, we also have this passage, as quoted here from the fourth edition of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language:"The words ironic, irony, and ironically are sometimes used of events and circumstances that might better be described as simply 'coincidental' or 'improbable,' in that they suggest no particular lessons about human vanity or folly. Thus 78 percent of the Usage Panel rejects the use of ironically in the sentence In 1969 Susie moved from Ithaca to California where she met her husband-to-be, who, ironically, also came from upstate New York. Some Panelists noted that this particular usage might be acceptable if Susie had in fact moved to California in order to find a husband, in which case the story could be taken as exemplifying the folly of supposing that we can know what fate has in store for us. By contrast, 73 percent accepted the sentence Ironically, even as the government was fulminating against American policy, American jeans and videocassettes were the hottest items in the stalls of the market, where the incongruity can be seen as an example of human inconsistency."I've already added this reference to irony and ironic. L3lackEyedAngels 03:08, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I'm going to call this one as RFV-Passed. L3lackEyedAngels 18:41, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * But it isn't though. But I see what the sense is trying to explain. So-called misuses of the term ironic for things that are coincidental but not ironic. I was going to quote the sense of ironic to you, but it isn't there. Actually I think irony and ironic need some work. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * OED online has under irony 2. fig. A condition of affairs or events of a character opposite to what was, or might naturally be, expected; a contradictory outcome of events as if in mockery of the promise and fitness of things. (In French ironie du sort.) They say nothing about "proscribed" but then, being British, they probably don't care about American heritage all that much... --Thrissel 16:09, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I will try to cite this in the next week or so. Others are welcome to help. I'm sure it's an attested meaning. - -sche (discuss) 21:36, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * This has been discussed a couple of times on the American Dialect Society list. I think it's generally well recognized that "ironic" means "coincidental." See, for example, Ron Butter's message saying this is recorded in the New Oxford American Dictionary, edition 2, and Wilson Gray's comment. --BenjaminBarrett12 (talk) 06:43, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * All very interesting, but where are the citations? MWOnline has seven senses and subsenses of irony: and two senses of ironic: (one of which is "relating to, containing, or constituting irony"). We have four uncited senses at [[irony]] and three at ironic, not coordinated with each other. Why can't we write and cite adequate coverage of all the senses of these words? DCDuring TALK 11:42, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I've started gathering citations (of all senses): User:-sche/ironic. - -sche (discuss) 17:21, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Better you than I. I can say, apparently simultaneously both with and without irony, that I have never been comfortable with my own understanding of this word. DCDuring TALK 17:35, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, take a look at what I have so far and see if this cites a nontraditional sense (perhaps one simpler and/or broader than our current one): [[User:-sche/ironic]]. - -sche (discuss) 22:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The Online Etymology dictionary has this under irony: "Figurative use for "condition opposite to what might be expected; contradictory circumstances" is from 1640s." DCDuring TALK 23:03, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Garner's Modern American Usage, often somewhat picky about such matters, has no mention of any problem with irony. Both Garner's and MW Dictionary of English Usage refer to objections to the overuse of ironically as a sentence adverb, which objection also includes other sentence adverb disjuncts (we miss the sense), such as those in Category:English evaluative adverbs. I'm beginning to lose all respect for the AHD panel's opinions on usage. DCDuring TALK 23:22, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * This sense is from the 1640s? They (the AHD) have some nerve calling it ‘wrong’, if that's the case! - -sche (discuss) 04:13, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * That's what the man says. I wonder whether all or most senses of ironic and ironically should mostly be defined in reference to irony. The grammatical distinction between sentence and manner adverb might justify two "senses" for ironically. Some of the distinct senses at MWOnline are of the practice, a style, and an instance of the practice, analogous to differences of aspect in verbs. (Is there a term for this in nouns?) DCDuring TALK 05:11, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I too think we should define "ironic" and "ironically" in reference to "irony", and only cover the many senses of the word there (at irony). - -sche (discuss) 07:43, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I've reduced the content at ironic (and the content at ironically was already minimal) per the preceding discussion. We can handle the various kinds of irony at, well, irony. - -sche (discuss) 02:30, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I've tried to (re)define the last sense of [[irony]] based on the citations and guided by this conversation. What do you all think? - -sche (discuss) 03:52, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * My feeling is that "unexpected and coincidental" define this meaning. I doubt that humor or poignance need to be mentioned; I think those are more associated with the traditional meanings (definitions 1 and 2). See also the example from TheFreeDictionary.com on that page where neither humor nor poignance are involved. --BenjaminBarrett12 (talk) 17:38, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * This has been cited ([[User:-sche/ironic]]); I am closing the discussion. The definition can be tweaked as needed. - -sche (discuss) 05:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

The information previously at User:-sche/ironic has been moved to the citations pages of irony, ironic and ironically. - -sche (discuss) 05:50, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Wiktionary talk:Requested entries (Dutch)

Quote: Please remove articles from this list once they have been written, (i.e., the link is "live").

Isn't this rather offensive to the native speakers? There are plenty of errors in this list that really should not become a article. A good example is the entry mensch. This word has not been written this way in Dutch for over half a century. Perhaps the person who put it there confused Dutch with German?

nl:Gebruiker:Jcwf

 * I don't see anything offensive. The same line is at the top of the request page of every language. It might be nice to also have it in Dutch but I'm not able to do that. If there are errors, this is the best page to point them out. Wiktionary intends to capture all words of all languages of all eras. I myself added that word while browsing a very old Dutch document and found it interesting that at one time it was spelled identically to the German. We have many entries in other languages much older than half a century. I personally have been looking for them in Russian also and have spent some time the past week looking for the same in Spanish. Older spellings are very hard to find information about so this page is perfect for requesting help in such matters. — Hippietrail 15:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

fanellen, fanel
Moved from Project Page
 * Have confirmed that both words are alternative forms for flanel/flanellen. However I am struggling to understand its use at the above link. Maybe comic books with flannel covers? Can a native Dutch speaker confirm? Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 01:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I am pretty sure you are wrong. I am a native Dutch speaker, I do now flanel, but not fanel.  It seems something very specific for books, some librarian’s terminology. H. (talk) 14:40, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If you do a google search with "fanel kleden" or any item of clothing, you will be sure to find some results with this word used in the sense of "a cotton-based material". the librarian term sense you mentioned seems to be specific to Bel Dutch. There does seem to be two distinct senses of flanellen here. I am not disagreeing with you, I am just trying to define this based on what I see. I encourage you to do some research, as it'd be easier for you than me. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 12:16, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * Wiktionary Tutorial
 * Community Portal
 * Entry layout explained
 * How to edit a page
 * How to start a page
 * Wiktionary Sandbox (a safe place for testing syntax)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk (discussion) and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~, which automatically produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the beer parlour or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

As SemperBlotto started pointing out on your anon IP page, please try to use the proper headers here. If not, someone will certainly clean them up, but it is much nicer if you can get the formatting conventions here done yourself. We avoid language code templates (and many others) for clarity and arrangement; language codes are not easily alphabetized. -- [ Connel MacKenzie] 15:03, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Why did you revert a perfectly legitimate interwiki? nl:Gebruiker:Jcwf 75.178.190.190 20:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I reverted it because when it was entered, it was not a legitimate interwiki. I tried the interwiki, it led me to a non-existent entry, and so I reverted it.  In the future, it would be better if you created the foreign entry before interwiki-linking to it.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 05:41, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Or have the dictionaries all been swum? Or is this just paradigms gone wild? Jcwf 03:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC) P.S. Pardon my very stale Latin

 * Sorry, but your original request looked to be doubting the verb nō itself. After you posted on WT:RFV, I understood you were doubting only the supine forms, which is valid as I commented there.  I have corrected the entry.  The page is one of the older ones that had not been updated, and like many of the early Latin contributions was initiated by an individual not well schooled in Latin grammar, and without checking against major sources.

 * Not "gone wrong" exactly, it's just that we didn't have a "no passive" template for 1st conjugation yet, so I had to write one. It's done now. --EncycloPetey 03:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Categorizing
I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but there's a rather large scale operation underway to try and categorize every entry on Wiktionary. In support of this I'm trying to get folks to keep all new entries categorized. I've categorized your last two words, but it would be greatly appreciated if you could use or just put the category in manually on new creations from now on. If the category does not exist (as it didn't for the last two words you created) and you don't feel comfortable creating it, feel free to drop a note on my talk page and I'd be happy to do it for you. Many thanks. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 00:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Grammaticaal vraagje
Hallo Jcwf,

ik heb een vraag. Ik weet niet zeker of je er echt in thuis bent, maar je weet maar nooit. Klopt deze zin: Het zou verklaren waarom hij zo geliefd is bij veel Italianen waardoor hij zo lang aan de macht is.? Of moet het "Italianen door welke" zijn? Dankjewel, Mallerd

Hij is aan de macht door het feit dat hij zo geliefd is, dus zou ik zeggen:

 * Het zou verklaren waarom hij zo geliefd is bij veel Italianen en waardoor hij zo lang aan de macht is.?
 * Zo klopt de zin. G RUNNEN O VERLEG 14 sep 2009 19:51 (CEST)

Dankje. Ik weet trouwens niet eens of het wel grammatica was..ciao! Mallerd 14 sep 2009 19:52 (CEST)

hakken
Thanks for your comment on my discussions page. I simply moved the definition for the dancestyle from the Verb section to Noun section where it is more appropriate. The plural definition (hak->hakken) was there before my change. Now that you've mentioned it, i looked up the word 'hak' on Van Dale (www.vandale.nl). The plural of this word is indeed hakken (see here). Jamesjiao 07:16, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I apologize for having misunderstood you. My brain sometimes decides to go on strike. Yes, I see the predicament. What I will do is to separate these terms into different etymologies as I can't find any guidelines for this - this will not only resolve the situation, it also makes much more sense. (An example of this can be found with the word forte) Jamesjiao 20:38, 1 October 2009 (UTC) - Done

lippenrood
I wasn't 100% certain about it to start with. Thanks for putting the rest of the stuff in. Also are you able to create a page for 'lippen' as a verb? I have never encountered it before (verb), and have not been able to locate an accurate definition for it on the web. Your effort is so appreciated!

Interesting definitions. Would it be OK for you to tell me where you found them? I looked around a bit and found this: lippen. I am not sure what the second definition means. Something to do with using one's embarrassment to your own advantage. Jamesjiao 06:51, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

staatsman
Should there be a category Category:Dutch nouns with three plurals for words such as staatsman, or should such words just stay in Category:Dutch nouns with two plurals (which would implicitly mean "Dutch nouns with two or more plurals")? AugPi 04:36, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd go with two or more plurals. Jamesjiao 02:55, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Poll on formatting of etymologies
I would like to know your preference as regards the use of "<" vs "from" in the formatting of etymologies in Wiktionary, whatever that preference is. Even explicit statement of indifference would be nice. You can state your preference in the currently running poll: WT:BP. I am sending you this notification, as you took part on some of the recent votes, so chances are you could be interested in the poll. The poll benefits from having as many participants as possible, to be as representative as possible. Feel free to ignore this notification. --Dan Polansky 10:48, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Vote on formatting of etymologies
There is the vote Votes/pl-2011-02/Deprecating less-than symbol in etymologies, which would benefit from your participation, even if only in the role of an abstainer. Right now, the results of the vote do not quite mirror the results of the poll that has preceded the vote. There is a chance that the vote will not pass. The vote, which I thought would be a mere formality, has turned out to be a real issue. You have taken part on the poll that preceded the vote, which is why I have sent you this notification. --Dan Polansky 08:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Predicative or copulative?
Is a form that translates into English as "be (word)" a predicative or copulative form? I see you've called it predicative, but some sources call it a copulative instead. Do you know if there is any difference between those forms? 13:12, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I think my old Xhosa text book called it predicative, but I no longer have it. I don't think there is any difference and if you prefer to call it copulative that is fine by me. Although "negative copulative" sounds a bit like being rejected by a lady to me to be quite honest. Jcwf (talk) 16:22, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I've created Appendix:Zulu copulatives, as a way to explain it in more detail. I hope I haven't missed anything. 16:29, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I reverted back to your terminology to retain consistency. I don't know much about Zulu. In Xhosa the copulative is also used for the agent of a passive verb (in -wa). (Interestingly Russian would use the instrumental case for both things as well..). I don't know if Zulu has the same, but I suspect it does. Jcwf (talk) 16:50, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's interesting to see how much of it is the same, there are just minor differences like repeating the plosive, which Zulu doesn't seem to do; and Zulu keeps the umu- prefix intact for single-syllable words. I'm still a bit mystified by how to form a copula in anything other than the present indicative. How do you say for example "would be" or "was" in Xhosa? 16:56, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You put the appropriate form of the verb ukuba in front of the coplulative. Ndingumfundi. present Ndiza kuba ngumfundi. future Bendingumfundi. past Ndandingumfundi.remote etc. There is a bunch of tenses that I have always found very confusing Jcwf (talk) 17:14, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes they are confusing because some are originally formed from compounds, while others seem more 'basic'. It's hard to place them in a certain scheme relative to each other, because if you divide them by mood, tense etc. then the endings and prefixes don't seem to have any similarities. It is like all the different forms have just been haphazardly added over time, without any kind of system. But anyway, concerning verbs, our Zulu verbs so far have all been added as bare stems, like adjectives and relatives are, without the uku- prefix. I don't know if the same should be done for Xhosa but I thought I would mention that. 17:40, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that is kind of strange for a language that is so centered around a system of concorded nouns. All verbs are nouns of class 15 and many of them are regularly used as such, including their 'cases'. E.g. "ekubeni" means something like "in that being so", "this being as it is" but it is simply the locative of (the verb=noun) ukuba. I think there is more reason to give nouns by their base, because the same base can often occur in quite a few classes, like -ntu: umntu(1),abantu(2),isintu(6),uluntu(11),ubuntu(14); a fact obfuscated if you impose our singular/plural dichotomy onto it. For verbs you don't really have this problem: they are all class 15 nouns. If you give them by their base, you'd have to create a separate page for their usage as nouns: again an imposed dichotomy. Jcwf (talk) 18:20, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't really understand. We already include nouns with their prefix, for pretty much the reason you stated. What is stranger is treating the verbal noun as the lemma of the verb, because of all forms, it's the only one that actually isn't a verb. Besides, the online Zulu dictionary isiZulu.net also lists verbs by their stems, as does Zulu Wiktionary. 01:23, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The 'verbal noun' is also the infinitive: Ndiyafuna ukutya. - I want to eat. Musani ukuthetha. - Don't speak! etc. It even has a negative ukungafuni - not to want. It can have object concords like "Ndiyazama ukusithetha" - I'll try to speak it. How do you mean an infinitive is not a verb? Then Dutch infinitives like (het) spreken should also be given as nouns only...
 * Yes, as in Dutch, it is also a noun -the whole language is noun centered- and it has e.g. locatives like ekubeni or ekungabeni (from the negative ukungaba). If you insist to split off its verbal function under its stem, then at least put it under -thetha, not thetha. That is the affirmative imperative, a verb form.
 * As for the nouns: the fact that you put e.g. umntu and uluntu on two different pages (rather than on one page under e.g. -ntu) suggest that they are different nouns rather than two different forms of the same noun. Only the relationship with abantu is done justice this way. The relationship to isintu, uluntu etc. is lost, even more so because of how we alphabetize words. Jcwf (talk) 21:51, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Noun forms
I've created a list of what I think may be possible forms of a noun in Zulu: User:CodeCat/Zulu noun forms. You could probably use that to make inflection tables for Xhosa nouns too. But I don't really know if all of them make sense, so could you have a look? 13:11, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:muffin

Computer Term
The computer term muffin is explained at: http://java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2001/tt0530.html. The key paragrpah reads:

 * The JNLP API defines a set of services that bypass the security sandbox to enable some common client operations. In the writeEditorContents method, the BasicService discovers the application's codebase. Then, the PersistenceService caches the edit pane's contents on the local hard drive, keyed to a URL that is relative to the application's codebase. The name/value pairs provided by the PersistenceService are similar to browser cookies. The Java Web Start implementation honors this legacy by naming the pairs "muffins." Muffins are not appropriate for large data storage; they should be used to cache small identifiers on the client. These identifiers can then be used to locate larger pieces of information on the server.

I believe that the term is not widely known. Somebody asked me about it, and it took me a little while to find the answer. So I thought it was worth an entry here. — DavidL 16:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Chicken Licken

Encyclopedic content. Unless we find a citation where this is used as a generic term ("don't be such a chicken licken"), I suggest we delete it. Otherwise, it sets the precedent that every fictional (and real) character gets their name listed in the dictionary. Allan 18:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I'd vote this is a special case worth keeping, not just the run of the mill cartoon character.--Richardb 12:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Henny Penny
rfd with current definition "A fictional character in the children's story Chicken Licken, a hen, in some versions the main character." Of course, if it can be proved to be idiomatic, it'd be a keeper. -WF

 * Delete. Equinox ◑ 16:19, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has a section on the of this name. Is it accurate? If so, the definition can be updated accordingly and references to the character moved to the etymology section. — Ungoliant (Falai) 16:24, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Chicken Little has "one who panics at the slightest provocation" Siuenti (talk) 22:34, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Deleted. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 04:06, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Why was this deleted? It was on my watchlist, so I'm pretty sure I added some cites attesting idiomatic usage. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 21:45, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I did indeed add cites to the entry. DAVilla has restored them here. Why would you delete something without first checking to see if it's been cited? -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 22:00, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * This is not an RFV, but nevertheless you are right it should not have been deleted, but not because of the cites. --WikiTiki89 22:01, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The cites are what establish the idiomatic usage of Henny Penny. This idiomatic sense is what merits inclusion under CFI, and thus the cites confirming it are the reason the entry itself shouldn't have been deleted (the original contested sense is another matter, but one needn't throw the baby out with the bathwater). -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 22:37, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The sense in question was neither RFD'd nor RFV'd. It's existence is why the page was not deleted, not because of the cites. I did not look at the cites and probably won't unless it is RFV'd. --WikiTiki89 22:40, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * TS didn't just delete the nominated sense, he deleted the entire entry, which included both the nominated sense and a second, idiomatic sense. A bad call was made here. The deleting admin should've ensured there weren't any readily apparent grounds for keeping the entry before going ahead and deleting it (as opposed to a single sense contained within said entry).
 * And there's no reason that citations shouldn't be taken into consideration in RfD discussions. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 23:14, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * TS didn't realize a new sense was added to the page. He made a mistake and I fixed it. What more do you want? --WikiTiki89 23:18, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I feel a need to stress the importance of checking for things that would warrant retaining an entry before deleting it in the hope of preventing similar occurrences in the future. That's all. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 23:43, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Well maybe you should have also felt a need to comment here when you added a new sense to an entry that was nominated for RFD. --WikiTiki89 23:53, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Now you are just being argumentative and uncivil. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 00:51, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I admit I could have phrased that in a friendlier way, but I wasn't being argumentative. When people are closing RFD discussions in bulk, they usually only read what's in the discussion and don't spend too much time looking at the entry itself. You can't expect an RFD'd entry that has no keep votes to not be deleted. --WikiTiki89 00:54, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I have restored Henny Penny since the RFD'd definition was not the only one on the page. For the others below, that was not the case. --WikiTiki89 22:01, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * We should not ever delete any accurate quotations. If the entry or a sense is deleted, any quotations should go to the citations page unless they can be redeployed to other senses in the entry or in a closely related entry (or citations page. The labor involved in finding and formatting citations should not be discarded. DCDuring TALK 00:59, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * You are correct about that. --WikiTiki89 01:03, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I’m sorry for my mistake. Please don’t edit an RFDed sense until someone closes the discussion. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 13:02, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Foxy Loxy
rfd under current definition. If a definition like that of Big Bad Wolf can be added, it should be cool. -WF

 * Delete as it stands (defined as "a fictional character..."). The stuff on the citations page might support a generic sense, a type of person etc., but I'm not too hopeful. Equinox ◑ 16:33, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Deleted. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 04:06, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Chicken Licken
As above - WF

Deleted. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 04:06, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

I have to say, I don't think there was sufficient consensus for deleting any of these. DAVilla 09:14, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * After about five months, there were several votes to delete and no votes to keep. Deletion was the appropriate response. - -sche (discuss) 09:38, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:strongman

Political sense?
I need a quote showing the use of the word strongman in the political sense. I'm not sure which ones I'd be allowed to quote.

Can we use this:

Fay Willey, "Kaddafi's Latest Plot," Newsweek, November 9, 1981, p. 29. An excerpt:

U.S. intelligence believes that Libyan strongman Muammar Kaddafi is planning terrorist attacks on four American embassies in Western Europe.

Google found it at http://www.understandingpower.com/Chapter3.htm   JillianE 00:11, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

First two definitions

 * 1) A performer who demonstrates feats of strength.
 * 2) A man who competes in contests of physical strength.

These sound similar enough to be merged. Basically one is doing it as an entertainer and one's doing as part of a competition. You could say the same thing about a dancer, some participate in competitions, while others don't. Renard Migrant (talk) 20:04, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
