Quotes that I have entered and like.

Apartheid
1917, General Jan Smuts: Speech at the Savoy Hotel. The superior civilizing race was lost in the quicksands of African blood,.. and it has become axiomatic that it is a dishonourable thing that there shall be any mixture of white and black blood….We have felt that if we are to solve our native question, it is useless to subject (black and white) to the same machinery of legislation. We have found that the ideas which apply to our white civilization do not apply to the natives and to give a political existence on an equal basis does not lead to the best results….The practice is being built up in South Africa of creating parallel institutions and of making the natives run on different but parallel lines to the whites….White and black are different not only in colour, but almost in soul…Instead of mixing up black and white all over the country, we are now trying to keep them as far apart as possible in government, (and) the forms of political government will be such that each will be satisfied and each will develop according to its own proper rights. Economically the native will go on working in the white areas.
 * During the evening, songs were given by Miss Ada Forrest and Mr. Edward Halland
 * (sadly removed because it does not contain the word, althouth it is still the best exposition of the term I have seen).

apotheosis
'Unfortunately, and without any fault or negligence on the part of the management of either company, when Mrs Voss got home, she discovered that the tin, in addition to something more than 150 peas, contained a green caterpillar, the larva of one of the species of hawk moth. This innocent insect, thus deprived of its natural destiny, was in fact entirely harmless, since prior to its entry into the tin, it had been subjected to a cooking process of 20 minutes duration at 250 degrees F, and, had she cared to do so, Mrs Voss could have consumed the caterpillar without injury to herself, and even, perhaps, with benefit. She was not, however, to know this, and with commendable civic zeal, she felt it her duty to report the matter to the local authority, and in consequence, grinding slow, but exceeding small, the machinery of the law was set in inexorable motion. 'Thereafter, the caterpillar achieved a sort of posthumous apotheosis. From local authority to the Dorchester magistrates, from the Dorchester magistrates to a Divisional Court presided over by the Lord Chief Justice of England, from the Lord Chief Justice to the House of Lords, the immolated insect has at length plodded its methodical way to the highest tribunal in the land. It now falls to me to deliver my opinion on its case.' (Per Lord Hailsham in Smedleys Ltd v Breed [1974]2 All ER 21(HL) at 24.)

fratricide
1936: H A L Fisher: A History of Europe: Edward Arnold Publishers P.376.
 * "The conversion of Russia to Christianity was effected, it would seem by a monster of cruelty and lust. That Vladimir (980 - 1015) was a fratricide, who maintained 3,500 concubines, has not prevented his canonization as a saint."

hanged, drawn and quartered
According to official records on 19th October 1685, John Fernley, William Ring and Henry Cornish, were given the following sentence.
 * "You must, every one of you, be had back to the place from whence you came, and from there, you must be drawn to the place of execution, and there you must severally be hanged by the necks everyone of you till you are almost dead; and then you must be cut down, your entrails must be taken out and burnt before your faces, your several heads to be cut off and your bodies divided into four parts, and these to be disposed at the pleasure of of the King and the Lord have mercy on your souls."

besom

 * 1) 1954 "Now, in her iceberg-white, holily laundered crinoline nightgown, under virtuous polar sheets, in her spruced and scoured dust-defying bedroom in trig and trim Bay View, a house for paying guests at the top of the town, Mrs Ogmore-Prichard widow, twice, of Mr Ogmore, linolium, retired, and Mr Prichard, failed bookmaker, who maddened by besoming, swabbing and scrubbing, the voice of the vacuum-cleaner and the fume of polish, ironically swallowed disinfectant..." Dylan Thomas: Under Milk Wood p.13

haemorrhoids
I hope the worst is behind me". - France's midfielder Florent Malouds reveals he had an operation for haemmorrhoids shortlly after arriving in Germany for the World Cup" Argus 17 June 2006 p.14

horsewhip
Anthony Trollope 1815 - 1888. The Prime Minister: 'He had told his wife that he would ask Fletcher to give up the borough, and that he would make that request with a horsewhip in his hand....But there were difficulties. A man is not horsewhipped simply because you wish to horsewhip him.'

killer whale
1851 Of this whale, little is known to the Nantucketer, and nothing at all to the professed naturalist. From what I have seen of him at a distance, I should say that he was about the bigness of a grampus. He is very savage - a sort of Feegee fish. He sometimes takes the great Folio whales by the lip and hangs there like a leech until the mighty brute is worried to death. The killer is never hunted. I have never heard what sort of oil he has. Exception might be taken to the      name of this whale, on the grounds of its indistinctness. For we are all killers on land and on sea; Bonaparts and sharks included. ''Herman Melville: Moby Dick. This ed. 1961 Arnot publishers. p.127.''

Mongol
''Mathew Paris Chron. Maj. iv.76ff, Translated from The journey of William Rubruck (Hakluyt Society, 2nd series, no.4; 1900) pp. xv-xvi.'' They are inhuman and beastly, rather monsters than men, thirsting for and drinking blood, tearing and devouring the flesh of dogs and men, dressed in ox-hides, armed with plates of iron short, stout, thickset, strong, invincible, indefatigable, their backs unprotected, their breasts covered with armour...They have one-edged swords and daggers and spare neither age, nor sex nor condition.

pilum
1776 Besides a lighter spear, the Roman legionary grasped in his right hand the formidable pilum, a ponderous javelin whose utmost length was about six feet and which was terminated by a massy triangular point of steel of about eighteen inches. This instrument was indeed much inferior to our modern fire-arms; since it was exhausted by a single discharge at the distance of only ten or twelve paces. Yet when it was launched by a skilled and firm hand, there was not any cavalry that durst venture within its reach, or any shield or corslet that could withstand the impetuosity of its weight : ''The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire : Edward Gibbon. This edition Penguin 2000. p. 21''

Roc
''The Arabian Nights Entertainment. Tale 4. Sinbad''. The Second Voyage. "By this time the sun was about to set, and all of a sudden the sky became as dark as if it had been covered with a thick cloud. I was much astonished at this sudden darkness, but much more when I found it occasioned by a bird of a monstrous size, that came flying toward me. I remembered that I had often heard mariners speak of a miraculous bird called Roc, and conceived that the great dome which I so much admired must be its egg. In short, the bird alighted, and sat over the egg. As I perceived her coming, I crept to the egg, so that I had before me one of the legs of the bird, which was as big as the trunk of a tree. I tied myself strongly to it with my turban, in hopes that the roc next morning would carry me with her out of this desert island. After having passed the night in this condition, the bird flew away as soon as it was daylight, and carried me so high, that I could not discern the earth;

slake
Notes for landscape tones. Long sequences of tempera. Light filtered through the essence of lemons. An air full of brick-dust - sweet smelling brick dust and the odour of hot pavements slaked with water. ''Lawrence Durrell. Justine. Faber & Faber 1961 p.14''

splendour
Rudyard Kipling The Just So Stories; How the Rhinoceros got it's skin:
 * "Once upon a time on an uninhabited island on the shores of the Red Sea, there lived a Parsee from whose hat the rays of the sun were reflected in more-than-oriental-splendour."

ticket-of-leave

 * 1) *1893:The prosecutrix was the wife of a ticket-of-leave man, named Daniel Jackson, and she was also separated from her husband, and lived for some time with a man named Clarke, who died on the day before the alleged robbery was committed. Clarke left a will bequeathing all his property to the prosecutrix, who, immediately on his death, possessed herself of sixty pound in money which was in his box, which she rolled up and placed in her bosom. Prosecutrix shortly after missed the money but could not account how it had parted from her, and the warrant for £30, and bank-note for £20, laid in the indictment, was part of the money so lost.  The prosecutrix admitted, that both before, at the time, and some time after she missed the money, she was overcome with grief and brandy, but she could not say which of these acted most strongly.  R v Smith.

User:Scsbot

This is a bot account associated with User:Scs.

This account does not have the bot bit set. (That is, it has not received formal approval as an official Wiktionary bot.) I use this account for testing, for semiautomated (with manual oversight) editing, and as a container for this bot's source code and documentation. Approved bots using the same framework are User:ScsRhymeBot and User:ScsHdrRewrBot.

Description
This is a wiki edit bot written as a shell script. If you're not familiar with shell scripting, none of the rest of this may mean much. If you're familiar enough with shell scripting to say, "A web edit bot as a shell script? That's preposterous!", read on.

First of all, it's not all written in shell, of course. Most of the real work is done by various C-written programs, some of them stock Unix apps, some of them custom tools of my own design. As I am fond of saying, shell programming involves "finely-honed but relentlessly general-purpose tools, combined perhaps with one or two new, special-purpose (and small) C programs, operating on plain text files, held together with appropriate dabs of shell script glue."

Of course, at a low level, editing a wiki via its web interface involves fetching an HTML page, filling out a form (typically including an HTML textarea which is the edit box), and submitting that form. And that's exactly what this bot script (or any wiki bot) does.

HTML fetching is done by a tool of mine called httpget, which is basically a command-line callable interface to the HTTP protocol. httpget is similar to cURL, wget, and lynx -dump -source. It has two features which are important for this application: (1) it can post data, and (2) it can maintain cookies across calls (just as a real web browser would maintain cookies across page fetches during a session).

Having fetched a wiki edit page, the script next prepares the edit form within it. This is done by a set of auxiliary shell scripts with names like formsetup and formselect. These auxiliary form-handling scripts are relatively "thin"; most of their work is performed by another C-written program, xmlsed, which is an as-yet rudimentary implementation of a planned general-purpose SGML/HTML/XML manipulator. xmlsed can do things like analyze the structure of an HTML/XML document, fetch the contents of certain fields (that is, the content between requested  tags), etc.

The meat of the editing then takes place on that form element which is the HTML textarea which is the edit box. By this stage in the processing, the form-handling scripts have extracted the contents of the edit box (which is of course the to-be-edited wikitext) into a separate temporary file. Further processing will be done on that file, in The Unix Way. ("Everything's a File").

The editing of the text box takes place in four distinct steps:

 * 1) A check script looks at the text to make sure it's a candidate for editing.  This script might see whether the contemplated edit has already been made and therefore doesn't need doing.  For example, if we're using this bot to add Rhymes: links to pronunciation sections, the check script might check to see whether there's already a Rhymes: link.  Also, the check script might make sure that the page text is in the canonical form expected by the edit script (below).
 * 2) An edit script then performs the actual edits.  This edit script might do just about anything, based on the task at hand.  It might be a simple invocation of an off-the-shelf Unix tool, such as sed.  Or it might involve all sorts of ad-hoc processing to look for ==Section headers== so as to add new text in the right section.
 * 3) Optionally, the script double-checks that the differences between the old and the edited text are as expected.  If this step is performed, the bot literally presses the "Show changes" button (well, not literally, but effectively), and analyzes the result.  (Currently the "analysis" is simpleminded, involving just a count of the number of deleted and inserted lines.)
 * 4) Optionally, a check script double-checks that the edited text was edited as expected, without any unexpected changes.  If this step is performed, the bot presses the "Show preview" button, and passes the result to a task-specific check script.

Finally, another of the form-handling scripts, formsubmit, invokes httpget again to actually submit the edited text.

There are also various other checks along the way to make sure that the page being edited exists at all, that the bot user is not blocked, that the edit did not result in an edit conflict, etc.

Because of the extra double- (and triple-) check steps, this bot should be trustworthy and reliable. If anything unexpected happens, either because a particular page doesn't have the form that an edit script is written to expect, or because bugs in an edit script or the bot architecture goof up the page text somehow, one of the checks should catch the mistake, and prevent the faulty edit from being committed. (I've been testing this bot on my home test wiki, and the double-checks have already caught lots of unexpected and/or "impossible" situations. In other words, although I can't prove that the script doesn't have bugs, I am confident that if it does have any more bugs, the double-checks will catch them.)

It must be noted that this editing framework is generic and relatively low-level. There is no built-in knowledge of wiki markup specifics, let alone Wiktionary editing conventions. There is no high-level way to say, for example, "edit the Pronunciation section"; an edit script which wishes to do so must know how to find the pronunciation section itself, typically by looking for the ===Pronunciation=== header. (In time I'll probably develop boilerplate or idioms to abstract some of these low-level details away, perhaps sufficiently so that eventually there will be a high-level way to say "edit the Pronunciation section".)

Furthermore, this bot has no built-in machinery for discovering on its own which edits it should make. It always works from an explicit list, externally supplied. (I have various other scripts which help me build the work lists that the bot then chews on. Those auxiliary scripts aren't documented here yet.)

So far this bot has been used (on a limited scale) for two tasks:
 * 1) add an appropriate Rhymes: link to the Punctuation section of a page without one
 * 2) add a "breadcrumb" link trail to the rhymes pages (see e.g. Rhymes:English:-ɛmɪt and Rhymes:English:-eɪzɪŋ).

It has performed several hundred of each of these so far, under my supervision. (I manually double-checked each of its first few dozen edits, and I've spot-checked the remainder.)

Source code, utilities & tools, and additional documentation
The bot proper is this shell script, "wikised" or you can read its more detailed documentation.

Actual examples of specific editing scripts (namely, the two rhyme-related ones used so far).

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called SaveSiggy531. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name SaveSiggy531~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Talk:enormity

The following usage note was added anonymously to the entry without citation:
 * Usage Note: the word Enormity is often used to describe something large without it being necessarily evil or wicked. However the majority of dictionary word usage panels have ruled that use in such a way, although common, is incorrect. A synonym such as enormousness or immensity would be the correct word to use.

Feel free to put the note back into the entry (but under a "====Usage notes====" section) if you find any actual citations. Rod (A. Smith) 01:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I toned it down heavily. We are not usage maven, at best we should comment on the feelings of existing mavens. Circeus 18:46, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

 * This seems a bit excessive. "Enormity" in the sense of "being enormous" used to be perfectly legitimate usage. OED states that this use is now considered obsolete, so fair enough; it is NOT, however, a "new" usage that has "entered into" modern language.

For discussion, see http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/000263.html It is also incongruous to claim that enormity is not related to enormous, but to normativity. Both are of course related to normativity, so obviously interrelated. Conversely, "enormous" used to also have the meaning "atrocious" - though, THIS usage is now obsolete.

MY husbands aunt is what to our daughter and son? Is there a name for that?

Young Aunties
I'm going to be an aunty soon but im not even 15.What could I be called except from Aunt or Aunty?

 * Whatever you want! My first thoughts are perhaps just your name, or if you (or your future neice/nephew's parents (presumably your sibling and their partner)) want something a bit more, perhaps you can use a word from another language you like the sound of.
 * As not many people are likely to notice this question here, I've copied it to the Tearoom, our central discussion page. Take a look at Tea room to see if other people have more suggestions. Thryduulf 02:21, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * By the time your niece/nephew is able to call you aunt, you will be 18. That’s old enough to be an aunt. —Stephen 17:00, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation errors
Two things (and perhaps someone who knows what they're doing, and how it may relate to other sections, can fix):

1) The IPA & Rhymes of each section have been swapped:  i) IPA: /ɑ:nt/ v. Rhymes: -ænt ii) IPA: /ænt/ v. Rhymes: -ɑːnt

2) RP & GA (General American) pronunciation differ:  in RP we say /ɑ:nt/ (rhyming with "ah").

For USA usage, see the (Bert Vaux) Dialect Survey (http://www4.uwm.edu/FLL/linguistics/dialect/), in particular, http://www4.uwm.edu/FLL/linguistics/dialect/staticmaps/q_1.html. This suggests >75% there say ≈"ant".

Something's wrong. Can anybody hear us? :) The pronunciations and the rhymes are chenged. I would correct it, but i don't know which one belongs to which dialect. My dictionary says American is the one pronounced with /æ/, and British is with /ɑ/. Doesn't write anything about other dialects. Ferike333 15:52, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * In American English, aunt (the woman) and ant (the insect) are pronounced alike by the majority of speakers: [ænt]. However, it seems that most black Americans pronounce aunt as [ɑnt]. I have noticed recently that some younger white Americans are now pronouncing it [ɑnt] as well, but [ænt] still predominates. In Britain, the RP is [ɑ:nt]. —Stephen 16:28, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much. I've done it. The only thing I can't are the audio files. I can't listen to them so I don'T know which belongs where. Sincererly, Ferike333 18:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

RFV discussion: January–September 2016
RFV of two senses: "(informal) A great-aunt / grandaunt." and "A grandmother. (More often "auntie".)" Not to be confused with the more general sense 4, "An affectionate term for a woman of an older generation than oneself, especially a friend of one's parents, by means of fictive kin." - -sche (discuss) 22:29, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Could be worded better, but there's no doubt that "aunt" is used of grandaunts (with any number of "greats"), as for that matter is "uncle" of granduncles; and that friends (often cousins) of one's parents are also called "aunt" and "uncle". Documenting it may take some work, but I think this is pretty well-established.  Not sure about use of "aunt" for "grandmother", although I know that "grandmother" and "grandfather" are sometimes applied to elderly persons without any actual relationship.P Aculeius (talk) 22:42, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Friends of one's parents are sense 4. - -sche (discuss) 22:45, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, misread that part as an RFV of sense 4 as well as sense 2. However, the words aunt and uncle are regularly applied to all aunts and uncles, not merely the siblings of one's parents, but also their aunts and uncles, one's grandparents' aunts and uncles, etc.  Terms such as "great aunt" and "grandaunt" or "great-grandaunt" are typically trotted out only when there's some ambiguity.  You address your grandmother's aunt Mabel as "Aunt Mabel," not "Great-Grandaunt Mabel."  P Aculeius (talk) 23:07, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:It girl

RFV discussion (1)
The article lists the only def as "the movie actress Clara Bow". I'm thinking of the more modern (chiefly British???) definition of a rich party girl, socialite, bimbo etc. Does the def as stated exist, and if it does, surely it should be relegated to second place.

--Dmol 22:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

It girl, in my experience, is more of a flavor-of-the-month appellation; e.g., who's hot at the moment. See the Wikipedia It girl article. BD2412 T 15:24, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Couple of comments. I rfd'd the original def – The actress Clara Bow, and later I added the def "a rich party girl, socialite" which seems to be the common understanding of the term. Discussions that followed were,

''The article lists the only def as "the movie actress Clara Bow". I'm thinking of the more modern (chiefly British???) definition of a rich party girl, socialite, bimbo etc. Does the def as stated exist, and if it does, surely it should be relegated to second place.''

The appendix even goes so far as to explain differences between various have an X and take an X forms from the same noun, absurd given the same information should and could be in the mainspace. The idea things are made better by moving information from the discoverable and specific-item-linkable mainspace to the less discoverable appendix space seems rather unconvincing.

Talk:нет

"нет" is not a verb or adverb, it is pronoun, predicative, conjunction (in colloquial) and particle.

I'll try to work on this article later. --Jaroslavleff 15:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * But нет is a contraction of не + есть, a verb form, and it functions semantically as a negative verb. —Stephen 22:12, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Why do you think so? нет is not не + есть (where did you see this fact?), and it is not semantically a negative verb.
 * If it is verb, then sentence "Я нет" will be correct, but it is not. Correct: "Меня нет", here "меня" is genitive case of "я". We cannot build sentence where "нет" will be a verb and there will be any noun or pronoun in nominative case, but we can do it with any other verb.
 * "Меня нет" in English is approximately "There is no me" (incorrect, but nevertheless), where "there is" is omitted in Russian.
 * Here "нет" is not a verb, but predicative, i.e. part of speech which is not a verb, but acts as a predicate in sentences. I.e. semantically "нет" is a predicate in sentence (and as part of speech it is predicative), but not a verb.
 * Also, "нет" in first meaning ("no") is not an adverb, but particle.
 * --Jaroslavleff 06:44, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Он быть "нет" is indicated as negative form of 3rd person present indicative (negative to "есть"). But this is not true.
 * We can say "человек есть", but we can't say "человек нет" (correct: "человека нет", where "человека" is genitive case of "человек", as we can do with any negative form of other verbs: "человек бежит" - "человек не бежит", "женщина шьёт" - "женщина не шьёт" etc.
 * So, it is not a negative form of verb "есть".
 * --Jaroslavleff 07:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I remember the etymology of нет very clearly from my university days many years ago. Our Russian textbooks stated that нет is a contraction of не + есть. The contraction took place in Common Slavonic, so that the conjugation of бъіти was thus: {singular} . Then the conjugation of нє бъіти was thus: {singular}
 * When нет is a verb, it is an impersonal verb (like English there is), and therefore it does not admit subject pronouns. The verb нет only allows objects, and the objects are in the genitive: нет пива (there is no beer), не было пива (there was no beer), не будет пива (there will be no beer).
 * But, yes, нет is absolutely a negative есть, but only as an impersonal verb, which means no nominative subject. Impersonal verbs contain their subject semantically. —Stephen 08:02, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * But all our Russian textbooks indicate that "нет" is not a verb, but a predicative (for usage like "нет пива") (in modern language, of course; I agree that нет was a verb in old-old Russian many many centuries ago). --Jaroslavleff 08:12, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, I know that Russian grammar, pronunciation and all features of the language are treated one way by native speakers, and quite another way by foreign students. It’s the same with every language. I remember mentioning to a Spanish friend about the two pronunciations of the letter b (as b and as β), depending on the preceding letter. He swore up and down that b has only ONE pronunciation in Spanish. Native Spanish-speakers do not study Spanish sounds the way foreign students do, and therefore the foreign students understand the elements better at a conscious level. When Americans study Russian, our textbooks affirm that нет is an impersonal verb. Even my old Romanov’s Russian-English dictionary says: "нет (1) (particle) no; нет ещё not yet; (2) (impersonal verb) there is (are) no ... etc.". My Smirnitky’s Russian-English also states that нет is an impersonal verb. —Stephen 08:23, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I agree. But what we'll do with adverb? And take a look at Talk:это, please. --Jaroslavleff 08:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
