I'm not convinced the two meanings - able to be & fit to be - are really distinct at all.

The two examples given for "fit to be" could both be easily used in the "able to be" sense, without necessarily implying any fitness at all.--Richardb 12:40, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Someone added some blanks at the end of every line - an indication of possible 'bot vandalism? --Connel MacKenzie T C 20:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Usually that's due to a novice editor using a strange browser, or glitches introduced when transferring text between the browser edit box and an external editor (for those who partake of such things).

 * In this case it looks like they were introduced at 21:05 on 7 April 2006 by Andrew massyn when he reverted the vandalism of 19:27, 7 April 2006 by 63.241.58.84. (Which is odd, because reverting is usually an error-free no-brainer, if you know how to do it -- but perhaps Andrew tried to do it by hand.)

 * I've run the text through an external editor (carefully!) to remove all the spaces, and confirmed that it's now identical to the version Andrew tried to revert to, except for the deliberate changes Jaaari, you, and Hippietrail have made since. –Scs 21:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

 * This may be a sign that somebody has cut and paste from here to a text editor and back again. Web pages collapse all whitespace such as tabs and even line breaks into a single space or nothing at all. Often, and it may depend on the browser, the real linebreaks end up with a single space being added to the end of every line. Somebody who works on Spanish entries leaves these behind all the time and I've noticed it myself when working with text on web pages and in text editors when pasting back and forth. — Hippietrail 21:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't have any bots (yet). I do have http://dafizilla.sourceforge.net/viewsourcewith/index.php installed in Firefox, which lets me use an external editor without any manual cutting and pasting, and I'm trying to rig up a way for the external editor to be sed.

The contributor who added this also added an example with "taxable", which I removed as clearly exemplifying the previous senses; but I'm not so sure about his/her "payable" example.

It strikes me that "A nickname for any of several exceptionally large bells" and "Any large deep-toned bell" are just two attempts at wording the same thing, rather than two distinct senses. Any opposition to merging them in, say,  any large, deep-toned bell.? - -sche (discuss) 18:11, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

 * I've tweaked that a bit. "Any (or a particular one) of several large, deep-toned bells" implies there are a limited number of Toms, but the cites are not using the word in that way. They use it as if any deep-toned bell is a Tom.  There are a limited number of Great Toms (cf Big Ben) but this entry is for "Tom" on its own.

A distinction is made between abortion and premature birth: premature infants are those born after the stage of viability but prior to 37 weeks. Abortion may be either spontaneous (occurring from natural causes) or induced (artificial or therapeutic). 2.	The product of such nonviable birth."

Comments subsection

 * I think it is important to point out that we strive to provide definitions of how words are actually used, and there is certainly wide usage where "to abort a fetus" means to cause the death and then remove the fetus. Whether or not this is PC/palatable/agreeable to you or not, it is how the word is used and therefore should be included as such.  There are many words in this dictionary that I choose not to use, or which are used in a way that I don't agree with, but people use them that way and therefore they should be here.  It is not a question of how modern science or Webster's 1913 define something, those are important also, but not exclusively. - TheDaveRoss 21:40, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Doctors are people too. And they have expertise on this particular subject.  With the exception of religious extremists I see on the news, nearly everyone I know directly uses abortion to mean post-conception birth control.  There's no more death in it than a condom causes death to sperm.  Just more bleeding, as tends to be the case anyway with women and their eggs during every month.--Halliburton Shill 20:08, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I did not mean to say that doctors weren't people (nor do I think I did say this), I said people (read: some people, not all, not none) use the term in both ways. Some people use it as doctors or medical journals would use it, some (whether they have religious proclivities or not is moot, religious people are not excluded from being cited as sources) people use it in the other way.  Both should be included, and a usage note to indicate the disparity if need be. - TheDaveRoss 21:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

 * To me, it seems like you're putting in a request to redefine balls so that it fits how teenagers tend to use it. I can see an argument for adding a slang/regional/religious note onto an alternative definition.  Just not as a primary defn.

 * What is more valid about the way you use balls than the way teenagers use it? Did the Royal Academy of English prescribe your way?  Didn't think so.  I am not looking for anything to be redefined, I am looking for everything to be fully defined (as fully as possible) in that we include all definitions, not just the ones you like or the ones doctors like or the ones teenagers like or the ones conservative Christians like.  Your reverts are POV, and they should stop until this discussion has come to a conclusion. - TheDaveRoss 12:40, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Apocryphal, possibly regional use of the term
In Boston it was not uncommon to refer to horrible situations -- usually of the epic failure sort -- to be referred to in passing derisively as "abortions," as in "what a f--n abortion that was." A crude search for the phrase "what a f--n abortion" comes up with a number of colloquial uses, apparently some coming from regions of the UK and even elsewhere in northern Europe.

It's close to senses 3 or 4, but distinct in that 1. it doesn't have to be, and usually isn't in reference to a creature, and 2. doesn't have to involve cessation or termination, in fact more often it refers to a setback or a disaster. KeithTyler (talk) 23:51, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:technology

Technology is a word that is made of two greek words. Techne and Logos.

Techne is the greek word for Art. Logos is the Greek word for "reasonable language" or "reasoning about". Therefore a direct translation might be "the reasonable language of art" or "reasoning about art". So this is not confusing we might substitute the word "technique" for art. For example, a technique which is an "art form" even though it is quite technical in nature. The resulting literal definition might then be "reasoning about techniques."

Technology is therefore "thinking about the best way to do things"

 * Etymology of these both words is more complicated than that. Techne (also spelled tekhne) means art as in skill or craft (if we want to see a difference between art and skill). Logos means "language", "reason", "reasoning", or even "world". Also, technology isn't just "thinking", it is also constructing and manipulating the world. Martin Heidegger saw technology as a mode of thinking where everything that is, is seen from the perspective of manipulation. He said this the prevailing mode of thinking today. --Nikke

Translations do not correspond to the stated meanings of the word.
The translations are given for the three senses, that are never given as the meanings of the word "technology". Can someone correct that?

Talk:الله

I would like to add the correct vowels etc to the display version of the title (the headword). I know there should be a shadda with a small verticle alif over one of the lams, but when I look at images of Arabic calligraphy I find that some have these marks over the first lam, some have them over the second lam, and some even have them kind-of floating around between them!

Can anybody tell me the correct position please? — Hippietrail 12:35, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Shouldn't be 2x /l/ ? In Wikipedia is different pronunciation:. Which is correct for standard Arabic? Maro 01:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

why in the stylized picture the last ـه is not closed? Thanks in advance. Backinstadiums (talk) 20:42, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That's just another way to write it. --WikiTiki89 20:47, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

 * I started to upload some graphics that show common alternative letter forms for Arabic, but filling out the copyright information during upload is just too difficult and time consuming. Arabic computer fonts do not do justice to written Arabic. There are many more letter variations and ligatures used for writing Arabic than you would ever see in a text written in the Latin alphabet. Arabic fonts are designed as well as possible, but they drastically "dumb down" Arabic writing. Until just the past 15 years, Arabic and Urdu newspapers were mostly hand-written, because computer fonts have been unacceptable for the purpose. Today, a good Urdu font might contain 18,000 different letter forms per typeface, and the OpenType font technology makes selecting the correct forms from the huge inventory possible (only certain applications such as Adobe InDesign can make use of these fonts). Even today, I think Arabic computer fonts are only being used for newspaper text, whereas headlines are still done by hand. You can learn a little more about alternative Arabic letter forms here. —Stephen (Talk) 13:11, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

construct state
Hi, I'd like to know how اضافة notions are written since the term apparently does not have contruct state forms. Thanks in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:42, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Definite nouns do not have construct states because they can't be used as the first part (or rather non-last part) of an idafa construction. --WikiTiki89 20:12, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Correct. But of course you can use the word "God" in a genitive construction (or idafa) by using . For example,, , etc. 178.4.151.28 23:09, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Diactitics
Hi. Could we please stop the constant "improvements" of Allah entries in all languages where they are not required? I am referring to your changing Arabic from to  everywhere in Wiktionary. Adding a ٱ|hamzatu l-waṣli on the initial alif is not common practice here. You only need it to force a silent alif in transliterations. And you don't need redundant transliterations either. . --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:59, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree completely. I have undone all of this user's changes. The ٱ|hamzatu l-waṣli belongs only in close juncture after words ending in a vowel. Benwing2 (talk) 04:12, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello . I don’t see why you would want to make a the text incomplete. The spelling is very common in formal Arabic texts. I don’t understand how downgrading the complete diacritics is preferable, especially while the alternate version was also listed. The lack of complete diacritics has led to many erroneous spellings, including  and . The additional transliteration was necessary because the automatic transliteration is incorrect. That being said, I’ll stop adding the correct spelling if that’s what’s wanted.
 * , that is completely untrue. Alif al-Wasl is used in cases where a liaison vowel is needed, which is in every case of the definite article al-, as well as several conjugations. In fact, when preceded by a verb is when it’s least needed.
 * In the case of hamzatu l-waṣl may be justified, as the alif is elided and is silent. It can also be omitted with the same effect. It IS required (even for transliteration purposes) when it's in a position where it's not clear. In the isolation, the initial alif is not silent and defaults to "a".  is automatically transliterated correctly as "llāh" since you're telling the reader that the initial alif is silent but then you override it with the manual "allāh". --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:32, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

 * An ornamental diacritic like hamzet wasl is only written in Koran texts. It doesn't imply more formality. It's just a tradition. I don't need to keep reiterating that whatever is written in the Koran is not common practice, furthermore we don't need to change common practices to fit automated transliterations on Wiktionary. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 10:17, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

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 GK. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name GK~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.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Blocking
Did you ask to be blocked for 10 minutes? Kevin Rector 18:14, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, but by IP (this one). Jun-Dai

Ok, you were blocked and then you wer unblocked... was it everything that you hoped it would be? Kevin Rector 18:46, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Blocking
Jun-Dai,

The argument about spurrious blocking is actually bogus. There is no "nightmare" for any university that is blocked...they can still access pages in read mode to their heart's content. They cannot upload content during the time they are blocked.

The addition of new content is not significantly affected by one (or several) institutions being blocked for a week at a time.

If, for some strange reason, a univerity finds a "need" to be unblocked, they can request an unublock, and within an hour will be back in business. If subsequent vandalism occurs, they will have to identify the troublemaker within their own network, then request another unblocking. This can happily go on indefinately, until they catch the troublemaker red-handed. Then, punitive actions will be for them to pursue.

Even the above scenario is a bit far fetched though. We've never had significant contributions from the targetted university that was mentioned, right? It is my guess that we've never had any contributions from there...that the vandal just compromised a box somewhere, did a traceroute on it, and posted nonsense here about it.

In reality though, a typical 24 hour block won't be noticed by anyone but the vandal. Anyone else encountering a block might shrug and try it from home that evening. A less typical ten-day block has a possibility of being noticed, but again, not likely. I am beginning to think that all blocks should be permanent...that until a network admin requests unblocking, an IP (that inherently is known to have been compromised) should stay blocked.

I think better auto-blocking tools might do better to save the day. E.g. anytime an image is deleted with a comment "goatse" the CRC of the image is saved off on a prohibition list. Whenever someone tries to re-upload that image, (or any image of the same size, with the same CRC) they are automatically blocked for 24 hours (or permenantly...as above.)

I am no fan of bowdlerizing, but these particular images are readily available from thousands of places on the internet if anyone would actually like to see what all the hubbub is about. --Connel MacKenzie 21:58, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Connel,
 * on the one hand, you are right. For all practical purposes, it isn't especially meaningful, for now.  But, should a vandal somehow manage to access the Wiktionary from inside a large proxy, say of a large company, or of a university, that one of our contributors uses, it would prohibit any contributions of that user, logged in or otherwise, until the block was undone.  There are certainly IP addresses that affect tens of thousands of people (I'm on one), and the main reason that this isn't a problem right now is the mere fact that we don't really have more than a dozen and a half contributors anyhow, most of which have their own IP, or share it will a small number of people.  But the number of contributors will increase over time.  If it doesn't, Wiktionary won't reach any real state of usefulness this side of the 22nd century.
 * I am a little concerned about the idea of the "if the university wants to contribute, let them chase down the vandal first" attitude - that's the sort of approach that would ultimately limit our expandability. If there is a vandal using a university IP, and it effectively blocks the whole university, and members of that university want to contribute, then we would making a big mistake to simply tell them they can have their IP unblocked once they find the vandal--instead, we would have to find alternative solutions to the problem, either living with the vandalism from that IP, or getting better tools built into the MediaWiki.  I hope that the software will someday allow the banning of only anonymous contributions from a particular IP address, instead of only having the option to block all contributios from an IP.

Jun-Dai

 * Jun-Dai, there is another reason I'm not concerned. Wikipedia has to deal with this problem long before we do.  I will happily bet $1.00 (US) that the Wiki* software will allow registered users to be exempt from blocks long before we have even one such (verified) occurance on Wiktionary.  I will also guess that Wiki* software will eventually allow blocked IP's to register new users, and that the new user accounts will be limited to only one or two or three new entries per account (until that edit is "patrolled") or something to that effect.  Right now, that is not even an issue for Wikipedia, let alone the order-of-magnitude-less-popular Wiktionary.  (BTW, I am quite happy we are under the radar for now.)

 * Honestly, I'm a little surprised that Mr. Ass Pus hasn't started creating accounts that have a half-dozen legitimate contributions first (to throw us off a little) before blasting away. When it gets to that point, I'm sure something else will be done to slow him down.  (5 second delays for all new users, patrolled edits, that sort of thing.)  --Connel MacKenzie 22:34, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Abbreviations
You are technically right about abbreviations not being a part of speech. For that matter neither is "Romaji". But then Romaji by itself is not a language either. The practical question then becomes what do we do with these concepts? The important thing becomes defining just what these things are.

I have no problem accepting contractions as an additional category in the same group as abbreviations and the others.

In my discussion with Connel about including things in two levels of category I'm arguing the same point as you. Eclecticology 21:40, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)

Appology
You are quite correct; I should not have called that vandalism. I find it very frustrating to be in the midst of a delicate debate and having such in interruption thrown in from left field. Not only was I mostly incorrect in calling it vandalism, the reversion itself may have been an overreaction (due to the frustration of having other valid points ignored during the interim.)

I think it is wise to revisit this side issue when the other is resolved, no? --Connel MacKenzie 21:56, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * OK. Words I must not use: oriental, vandalism (err, except for AP).  OK.  I'm with you!  --Connel MacKenzie 22:07, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oriental footnote
An observation about current usage. There is a prominently placed (opposite the second half of the Table of Contents) ad by Singapore Airlines in the July issue of Scientific American. In the ad they refer to the "Enchanting ORIENT". (Capitalization theirs) - Eclecticology July 6, 2005 18:58 (UTC)

Language considerations
I've been looking at our titles like Language considerations (Japaneses) and have begun to feel that these titles are a little too wordy, and they could become even more so if we need to subdivide them later. I am thinking of changing that title to About Japanese. This would help with later subdivision into such things as About Japanese romanization or About Japanese grammar or whatever else we may need at some later stage. If we were to adopt such a standard it would be better to do so before too many articles need such a change.

What brought this on was looking at what we currently have in the "Appendix/appendix" pseudonamespace so that we can more clearly define what goes in there on the way to its some day becoming a full status namespace. It currently includes a variety of articles about several scripts that should be moved out to "Language consideration" pages such as Appendix:Arabic script. Since we have discussed such issues before I thought it best to give you a heads up on what I'm doing. Eclecticology July 6, 2005 18:58 (UTC)

 * That's a fair question about "About". My thinking was that this format could keep all these articles together on the list, and therefore browsable.  Eclecticology July 7, 2005 02:06 (UTC)

Sorry about the conflict over Greek. It seems that we were trying two different things at the same time. I've merged the two, but for now all I'm trying to do is bring these various pages about language into one place.
