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

How widespread geographically is the second noun? A Google search for "her moot" only turns up <500 hits, only a handful of which have the meaning "vagina", which suggests it isn't common. I've heard it here in NSW, Australia. Who else has heard it?

Also, etymology? Borrowed from Swedish (or Old Norse), or common inheritance, or coincidence? --Ptcamn 22:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

moot
In the Australian slang sense of vagina. (Seems plausible enough, but the link to UD that it's sporting practically constitutes an RFV tag.) —RuakhTALK 17:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

RFV failed, sense removed. —RuakhTALK 21:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

moot?
Is it worth mentioning that it's also the online name of the owner/admin of 4chan.org?

70.78.10.56 02:51, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * No. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 03:23, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Distribution of the meaning "pointless"
I hear this all the time in the UK. I don't think these meanings are North American.

 * That's odd, because I've never heard the American usage here in the UK. 86.169.23.208 14:42, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Unclear geographical reference "rural northern dialects"
The Etymology 2 verb section has the following Usage notes:

 * In rural northern dialects, usually used together with the verbs mell and spell, where moot is used instead of talk and say; mell used instead of speak and converse; and spell instead of tell and relate. The verb moot in the sense to talk, say, utter etc., is part of an informal in-group speak or register wherein speakers (mostly of northern dialects) use this and the above-mentioned words when talking with one another and when talking with outsiders or strangers they, usually, only use the words like say, talk, speak etc.. For example, if a mother is talking with her child she is much more likely to use words like moot, mell and spell, however if she is speaking with a stranger from the South she is extremely unlikely to use such words. Also, such words are usually considered taboo in formal contexts.

This doesn't clearly explain where in the world it is talking about, the clues are:

 * rural northern dialects
 * mostly of northern dialects
 * stranger from the South
 * somewhere where people have children
 * somewhere where there are sometimes formal contexts

Could a resident of those rural northern areas of Bermuda or Northern Ireland please clear up which of the two it is? I presume it's one of those two.

Legendre symbol

Etymology
Named after French mathematician (1752–1833), who introduced the symbol in 1798 in his work Essai sur la Théorie des Nombres ("Essay on the Theory of Numbers").

Noun

 * 1)  A mathematical function of an integer and a prime number, written $$\left({a \over p}\right)$$, which indicates whether a is a quadratic residue modulo p.
 * 2) * 1994, James K. Strayer, Elementary Number Theory, Waveland Press, 2002, Reissue, page 109,
 * Our only method at present for the computation of Legendre symbols requires a possible consideration of $$\textstyle\frac{p-1}{2}$$ congruences (unless, of course, we are fortunate enough to encounter the desired quadratic residue along the way).

Usage notes
The symbol takes the values:

$$\left(\frac{a}{p}\right) = \begin{cases} -1 & \text{ if } a \text{ is a quadratic nonresidue modulo } p, \\ 0 & \text{ if } a \equiv 0 \pmod{p}, \\ 1 & \text{ if } a \text{ is a quadratic residue modulo } p \text{ and } a \not\equiv 0\pmod{p}. \end{cases}$$

It is generalised to composite numbers by the Jacobi symbol, which is identical in form and range of values and is defined as a product of Legendre symbols.

Jacobi symbol

Etymology
Named after German mathematician, who introduced the notation in 1837.

Noun

 * 1)  A mathematical function of integer a and odd positive integer b, generally written $$\left({a \over b}\right)$$, based on, for each of the prime factors pi of b, whether a is a quadratic residue or nonresidue modulo pi.
 * 2) * 2000, Song Y. Yan, Number Theory for Computing, Springer, 2000, Softcover reprint, page 114,
 * Although the Jacobi symbol $$\left(\frac{1009}{2307}\right) = 1$$, we still cannot determine whether or not the quadratic congruence $$1009 = x^2 \pmod{2307}$$ is soluble.
 * Remark 1.6.10. Jacobi symbols can be used to facilitate the calculation of Legendre symbols.
 * 1) * 2014, Ibrahim Elashry, Yi Mu, Willy Susilo, Jhanwar-Barua's Identity-Based Encryption Revisited, Man Ho Au, Barbara Carminati, C.-C. Jay Kuo (editors), Network and System Security: 8th International Conference, Springer, LNCS 8792, page 279,
 * From the above equations, guessing the Jacobi symbol $$\textstyle\left(\frac{2y_i s_{j_1}s_{j_2} +2}{N}\right)$$ from $$\textstyle\left(\frac{2y_{j_1} s_{j_1} +2}{N}\right)$$ and $$\textstyle\left(\frac{2y_{j_2} s_{j_2} +2}{N}\right)$$ is as hard as guessing them from independent Jacobi symbols.
 * From the above equations, guessing the Jacobi symbol $$\textstyle\left(\frac{2y_i s_{j_1}s_{j_2} +2}{N}\right)$$ from $$\textstyle\left(\frac{2y_{j_1} s_{j_1} +2}{N}\right)$$ and $$\textstyle\left(\frac{2y_{j_2} s_{j_2} +2}{N}\right)$$ is as hard as guessing them from independent Jacobi symbols.

Usage notes
The value is defined as the product of Legendre symbols: if $$b=p_1^{\alpha_1}p_2^{\alpha_2}\cdots p_k^{\alpha_k}$$ is the prime factorisation of b, then

 * $$\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \left(\frac{a}{p_1}\right)^{\alpha_1}\left(\frac{a}{p_2}\right)^{\alpha_2}\cdots \left(\frac{a}{p_k}\right)^{\alpha_k}$$.

quadratic reciprocity

Etymology
The theorem highlights a particular form of reciprocity in the solvability of the quadratic equation a2 = b in modular arithmetic. It was conjectured by and  and first proved by.

Noun

 * 1)  The mathematical theorem which states that, for given odd prime numbers p and q, the question of whether p is a square modulo q is equivalent to the question of whether q is a square modulo p.

Usage notes
There are several equivalent statements of the theorem. One version states that if p and q are odd prime numbers, $$\left(\frac{p}{q}\right) \left(\frac{q}{p}\right) = (-1)^{\frac{p-1}{2}\frac{q-1}{2}}$$, where $$\left({p \over q}\right)$$ is the Legendre symbol. This equation remains valid if $$\left({p \over q}\right)$$ is interpreted as a Jacobi symbol, in which case p and q are (only) required to be odd positive coprime integers. However, the value of the Jacobi symbol is less informative about whether p is a square modulo q (it can reveal that it is not, but not definitively that it it is).

The equation can be used to simplify calculation of the Legendre / Jacobi symbol.

isn't ⻌ - U+2ECC Cjk Radical Simplified Walk a better lemma? --Abdull 16:24, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

about "⻎" being referred to as "the form used in regular script"
In short, it is not. Sure, the kaiti form does have the wavy stem, but it is not the same kind. It does not have hard edges like ⻎. it is smooth like the curved strokes found in 阝. I think it is misleading to describe it as such, because in kaiti it is much closer to ㇇) than ㇇㇇ which is the tc standard form. I also think that this particular part of the standardization was a bad decision made by people who didnt know much about han typography, but that's besides the point.

User:Kzollman

My name is Kevin Zollman. I am (for just a little while longer) a graduate student in Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California, Irvine. In January, I will become the Herbert Simon Postdoctoral Fellow in Scientific Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. My research focuses on Philosophy of Science, game theory, and mathematical modeling generally.

Where I might help

 * Philosophical terminology
 * Poker terminology (this has been my recent project)
 * Some microeconomic terminology (I don't know anything about macro, sorry)
 * Some mathematical terminology (dynamical systems, probability, stochastic processes, logic, set theory)
 * Electronic music terminology

Here's a list of words that I intend to write definitions for.

Other resources
I started wiki-ing at wikipedia, where I am an administrator. Here are links to me at other wikimedia projects:

Capitalization
Pleas be more careful to use Wiktionary-style capitalization for nouns, especially when they can be upper or lowercase. Please do not use for nouns, instead pass the first parameter as a "-" to mark items uncountable, to.

That is an interesting resource you are referencing. I don't know what the legal limit is for direct references like that, but I suppose you will continue, so we'd best find out. I imagine we'll be OK if it is only a small percentage of the entries that dictionary has. (Simply using their list of words without permission, of course, would not be OK.)

--Connel MacKenzie 02:09, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Connel - Thanks for the welcome and the kind note.  No worries, I am not reproducing a large part of the words listed in the dictionary of poker.  Instead I am copying entries from List of slang names for poker hands, double checking them against that reference source to avoid copying vanity, etc.  My apologies about capitalization and the like, I'm still getting my feet wet.  I'm still a bit unclear about when names for starting hands in Texas hold 'em constitute proper nouns or not.  Perhaps you could offer some guidance on this issue. --Kzollman 15:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you for (mostly) allaying my fears about the collection of terms. About proper nouns: if they really are proper nouns, please use the heading ===Proper noun=== instead of ===Noun===.  Since most of the terms refer to a type of hand or type of situation, I would have to assume they are nouns, not proper nouns.  Most of what you've done looks good though, so keep it up.  --Connel MacKenzie 18:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * 2) * 1840, Ancient Laws and Institutes of England, Volume 2,, unnumbered page,
 * In the Anglo-Saxon laws there is no passage from which the value of the ‘sceat’ can be ascertained with certainty, though from some places in the laws of it would appear, that, in Kent at least, 20 sceats were equal to 1 scilling.
 * 1) * 1862,, Scotland Under Her Early Kings, Edmonston and Douglas, page 347,
 * The Obolus and the Scruple appear to have been equally familiar to the Anglo-Saxons under the names of the older sceat and penny. The Kentishmen seem to have resembled the Franks in their coinage as well as in their Wergilds, for their scilling weighed 20 sceats; and as the scilling was only a corruption of the Roman sicilicus (the shekel), or quarter-ounce weight, the Kentish ounce must have contained 80 sceats or 40 pence; in other words it was the old Salic solidus of 40 scruples, often met with in later times under the name of mancus, or heavier ounce of 30 Carlovingian (or sterling), and 40 Merovingian pence, or scruples.

Correct capitalization for "Main Page"
"Main Page" should be rewritten as "Main page". The whole wiki is written with sentence case capitalization (e.g. "What links here") with the only exception of "Main Page" in the sidebar. On Wikipedia and Wikinews, it is written "Main page". To correct this minor issue, replace the "mainpage-url|mainpage-text" line with "mainpage-url|mainpage-description".--TheLazyDog (talk) 02:33, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:environome

From RfD
I entered this today after running across it in a recent issue of Popular Science, in quotes. I'm nominating it here as a test case — I won't be upset if the entry is kept. The interesting point here is that the term is quite well documented. I'm sure we could dig up the appearance in PS, and the links I pulled in look eminently respectable.

However, none of them really shows the term in use. They all show it sort of "proposed for use." Further, there are two main proposed meanings, and in once case, a host of other proposed terms. Strictly speaking, "environome" and similar terms are protologisms. More to the point, they appear to fail the basic test of "would someone run across them and want to know that they meant?" as, as far as I can tell, they are defined wherever they appear.

So the question is whether to keep the term as a main entry, or move it to LOP and delete the main entry. Certainly it would be good to keep the links around, in case the term is later found to be in independent use, as they shed light on the origins of the term. While our CFI (particularly the one-year guideline) discourage us from rushing to be the first to define a new term, recording first instances is an entirely different matter.

Here are some alternatives

 * Keep as main entry: The entry is already formatted as a main entry, together with some quotations (though independent quotations are still needed). LOP is not really set up for this kind of entry.
 * Keep the entry but disclaim it as weakly attested.
 * Put the entry into another namespace but keep it as fully formatted. I believe this has been considered and rejected for protologisms in general.
 * Put the entry on LOP and keep a record of the citations somewhere.

I don't have a strong favorit among these. I would, however, like to see whatever we come up with applied uniformly to such weakly attested terms, whether they appear in respected journals or on someone's blog. -dmh 15:13, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I would keep this on its own merits, since it's appropriately referenced with strong attestations from credible sources. This should in no way be taken as a back-door rationale for accepting the evidence of blogs.  An additional reference on Google Print itself contains references which suggest pushing back the history of the term to 1990, but I don't have easy access to those publications to allow me to check that out.  It is thus apparently not a protologism.  I would, however, remove the definition that purports to be from psychology; the titles of the referenced publication do not automatically imply that the term is about psychology. Eclecticology 04:53, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Why would referencing blogs require back-door justification? As documents of actual usage, blogs are generally unimpeachable, and given durable archiving, they are easily referenceable.  As far as I can tell, your real objection stems from the cumulative effect of three very arguable assumptions
 * Blogs don't document carefully proofread "proper" usage.
 * Proper usage can be defined without resorting to arbitrarily enforced subjective criteria.
 * Wiktionary should only document "proper" usage.
 * Given these assumptions, it's not surprising that a printed source would be considered "verifiable". If you're trying to verify that "environome" is "proper English" and you assume that academic journals are exemplars of proper usage, then of course this is a very verifiable and credible entry.
 * As to the psyochological sense, I am relying on a bit more than the title of the referenced publication. If you read one more sentence from the quote about DNA triplets, you'll see "Another important factor in the slow progress towards understanding the environment has been the traditional tendency of psychology to ignore genetics or to consider environmental influence as in opposition to genetics."  The article is quite clearly talking about the "environome" in the context of psychology.
 * The only usage I turn up in print is in "Cross-Cultural Differences in Perspectives on the Self" (ISBN 0803213336): "Evolutionary psychologists have repeatedly pointed out that enduring human psychological mechanisms and behavioral strategies for solving recurrent adaptative problems are produced or incarnated as the result of interactions between genes and the environment (physical and sociocultural), or genome and environome." (any typos are mine). Again, the term is glossed and, as far as I can tell, never used elsewhere in the book.  If the sentence had instead read "Evolutionary psychologists have repeatedly pointed out that enduring human psychological mechanisms and behavioral strategies for solving recurrent adaptative problems are produced or incarnated as the result of interactions between the genome and the environome." with no further explanation of "environome", I would be much more convinced that the term has entered current use on its own (albeit within a small and specialized community, but that's another discussion). -dmh 05:52, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I believe species names are lower case and higher taxonomic levels are upper case so I made it Cetacea.
