safeplace

intro
We all know where arguments happen, where anger is expressed. Is one word, ipso facto, worse than another? Similarly, are not all emotions equal? Yet, there was no place to cry on Wiktionary. I created this as a safe place to cry - because that's what I needed. Maybe someday I'll make this public, because what I think I really need is just some encouragement. It takes all kinds. And some days more than others I am a nervous wreck. I worry a lot. I worry about making mistakes and having other people yell at me. In this safeplace, yelling isn't allowed. That's why I created it. So that I could have someplace to come, to express myself when I felt the need, and be assured that no one would yell.

yesterday
Reported a vandal. I blow things out of proportion, but s/he made a threat toward me. I don't usually take things so hard, but this one somehow managed to slip through. I got scared. I worked myself into a frenzy and even C's words didn't calm me as much as I would have liked. I just wanted someone to say that everything would be okay. That's what this safeplace is for. Just to provide reassurance. Or a place to come and lick wounds have a bar fight. Just for blanket non-judgmental support.

25 Ag 05
Renamed myself and my pages. Culmination of fear from yesterday. And I was thinking about it anyway. Alas no one can e-mail me now. If someone is reading this and does want to e-mail me, they can ask Connel for it - and Connel, you are authorized to give it.

I have been wondering if I should volunteer to clean up the beer parlour. I hesistate because I'm "just" a newbie. This is something else that safeplace would be good for. To encourage people who are less bold than others. I think Semper made a good point once: all mistakes are fixable. It would be nice to have some encouragement.

Another thing safeplace is good for. Just writing feelings down is good. Even if no one reads them, it's good to express your own self-doubt. Keeping feelings bottled up isn't good. The problem is, I'm realizing, especially with C, is that I have been taking up a LOT of his time. And I think he has been doing a lot of hand-holding. I try to thank him. But anyway - the problem is that I'm verbose. I worry that people will misunderstand me (and therefore yell at me) so I have to be sure I explain myself thoroughly - well, I feel I have to explain myself thoroughly. But that burdens people into reading a lot. Having safeplace - it's okay to write a lot in this place. You're not a burden to anyone.

"But Wiktionary isn't a counseling session," I hear you say, "it's a dictionary." But it's also a community. Fights happen in the beer parlour; laughter happens on user talk pages. What about this other emotion? Different people have different needs. Perhaps some need to argue. I don't know. Safeplace is just an idea. Perhaps crazy. That's why it's just on my user page at the moment. I believe I can do whatever I want on my userpages. Again, it takes all kinds of people - some are bolder at making changes and discussing things in public than others. Some people need some extra support, some extra encouragement to share their good ideas with the community in the beer parlour. It would be nice to know that I have some support in safeplace before stepping foot in a place that has been known for fights in the past. I generally try to avoid fights in real life.

Enough for now.

Comment of Polyglot:

Not sure if I'm allowed to write here, but I promise I won't yell. :-) When I read this, I thought: wow, it must take a lot of courage to write this down and express these kinds of feelings. Don't worry --Stranger, I'm sure we all feel the way you do, at times. Being bold is a lot easier in a community like this one though, that's probably why I'm able to do so and feel good around here. On the other hand, there will always be people who are rowdy and try to offend. Don't let that bother you. It's easy to ignore them. Realize they have their own problems, but aren't able to express them in a way somebody feels like helping them. Anyway, keep up the good work! I think you are doing a fine job! Polyglot 22:36, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Everyone is allowed to write here, as long as they don't yell. Support is appreciated.  I have been trying to build a thicker skin.  Takes time.
 * Being who I am, I often have to write. It's the way I express.  Anyway, other things to do right now.  I might be back here a little later though.  Enough for now. --Stranger 00:31, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:mesoscopic

Since my original remark on defining this word was removed by a subsequent edit, I shall reinsert it here, where it perhaps better belongs. Discussion is invited.

Note: The existence of this word is regrettable (and probably not yet accepted by any authoritative source), although there exists a vast body of usage, particularly in the scientific literature, and even more particularly in funding proposals. The deficiencies of the word are easily established by examining the definitions of the terms "microscopic" and "macroscopic" used to define it, whereupon it is quite evident that no space exists between those two scales.

Talk:lol

I really don't think this is an English interjection either. --Stranger 04:53, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Edit reversion
I noticed a few edits of mine were reverted. Most of them were, I admit, technicalities, but there was one edit whose reversion I object to: Firstly I would love to know if the one who reverted it, EncycloPetey, knows anything about internet slang (no offense!) beyond the extreme basics (basics that everyone "knows" such as lol = laugh out loud, which, in actuality, is no longer really true -- but I'm getting carried away). If it's a "reliable source" you're looking for... well, slang in general, but especially Internet slang (the regular kind can at least be found in pop music and movies), due simply to its young age, is difficult to find in "reliable" sources. Although I know the writer Maddox regularly uses the word "lol" in such a way. Gaiacarra 07:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Added "Emphasizes lack of thought from whomever it is directed at." to the definition.
 * You can raise this issue in either the Tea Room, where definitions of words are discussed, or we could take it to RfV, where citations for a particular use are sought. Note that any definition given can be challenged as to whether it meets the Criteria for Inclusion.  In this particular case, the added definition (1) did not seem particularly distinct from existing definitions, and (2) had an example sentence that was unlikely to be illuminating to the majority of our readers.  We are an international English dictionary, and George Bush jokes that depend on an understanding of the function of the US political system are therefore doubly inappropriate for our content.  And yes, the key problem will be finding a reliable source. We do expect citations to support questionable entries, even newly developed ones, as spelled out in the CFI.  --EncycloPetey 17:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

"rf"??
Where have you heard the "rf" that should mean "lol" in italian? Although I go often in chats and forums, I've never heard it. Instead, the onomatopoeic "asd" is used. Giacomo Volli

=="Lots of love" ==

I've seen this "lots of love" expansion on several dubious Web sites that list acronyms, but I have never seen it used. Can anyone find even one good citation of LOL in this way? Equinox 16:55, 30 December 2008 (UTC) Taken to RFV!

Request for verification
Yes, good old "LOL". I bet you're all delighted to see this come up. I am questioning the "lots of love" expansion, which I've seen on several dubious Web sites that list acronyms (and probably copy each other, which might even be how we got it), but I have never seen it used. Can anyone find even one good citation of LOL in this way? Equinox 21:07, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There's the oft-repeated story (an urban myth?) of how it was mis-used in an e-mail to a widow, but this is an example of mis-use.   D b f  i  r  s   19:56, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If you know people from the older generations then you'll see that it used to be used for "lots of love" a little. A couple of years ago, my mum was in her forties and a little technologically challenged; for months she thought that my sister was being very affectionate ending all her text messages with "lots of love." I know personal experience isn't citable but at least I can assure you that it is definitely a legitimate sense of the word. D4g0thur 17:47, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Striking, seeing as the sense was removed by Equinox on 2009 February 11. —Ruakh TALK 21:43, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Other meanings
Looking at this graph shows that usage of the word 'lol' in the late 18th century (in written language) was much, much greater than that of today. What is the archaic meaning of 'lol'? 76.121.211.59 04:20, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Probably various scannoes such as id, bi, etc. —Stephen (Talk) 05:01, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

 * And nonsense songs. Fol-de-rol-lol...— lexicógrafa | háblame — 14:32, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * For a completely different example: Who nows how many hits might be for "L.O.L.", standing for "Loyal Orange Lodge". There are 300 Google News hits pre-1901 for "Loyal Orange Lodge", a rank for members of the Grand Orange Lodge Orange Institution, a Protestant fraternal(?) organization. That usage is not even in acronym finder's listings. We are certainly not cloae to complete or even systematic in including abbreviations. DCDuring TALK 18:06, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The higher frequency of pre-1800 appearances in that graph almost certainly reflects a higher rate of OCR errors reading 18th century typefaces (s looking like f, more ligatures, etc.). That's a consistent problem with NGRAM before 1800.Jbening 00:12, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Volapuk
In Volapuk, lol means rose. Just thought you should know.

Amusing tautology
Not sure what the proper linguistic term for this is, but I just saw this comment where LOL the interjection has become a noun 'to lol' and then replaced 'laugh' in the original phrase:
 * I filled the painful silence by loling out loud. --Ian Jones in blog comment

--Qef 17:34, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You mean the verb to lol and tautology seems to be the right term, but see also pleonasm. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

As for the meaning of the word in Dutch, in Flemish (which is the collection of Dutch dialects spoken in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, and which roughly relates to The Netherlands' Dutch as UK English relates to US English (very similar but different pronunciation and vocabulary), lol also - and only - means joke
 * A closing bracket would make this much, much easier to understand. 20:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

The "diluted" definition doesn't apply to "LOL", only "lol"

Usage notes
As the adjectives "racemic" and "nonracemic" apply to whole molecules, not structural units, the coordinate term "racemo" was considered misleadingly imprecise, and "racemo" and "meso" were formally proscribed in 2019; modern usage is to write just "m", formerly an abbreviation for "meso".

 * 2) A Roman ~23k gold coin introduced by Diocletian in AD 301 and called by that name, but reissued at a slightly lower weight by Constantine I.
 * 3) Its successor Byzantine coins, from the eleventh century onward of progressively debased weight and purity.
 * 4)   or sou: a Carolingian unit of account equivalent to a  of silver.
 * : the silver coins of various Italian states.
 * : an English unit of account and, following the Tudor dynasty, silver coin.
 * 1)  The weight of the Roman gold coin, 1/60 of a Roman pound under Diocletian or 1/72 lb. (about 4.5 grams) after Constantine.
 * 2)   A medieval French weight, 1/20 of the Carolingian pound.
 * 3)   ⟨/⟩, originally  in its use as the shilling mark and now its formal designation by the ISO and Unicode.

Talk:fraction

Is definition 4 a mistake? It says "part of a particular society or group." but it seems to me this is a faction. I don't have a paper dictionary to hand at the moment. Visctrix 10:08, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

In one of your definitions you used the word "ratio" and "integer" to help define a fraction. Ratio usually is defined and worked with in the fifth grade and integer is a sixth grade subject, while fraction is defined and worked with in the third and fourth grades in most elementary school mathematics textbooks. It has been that way for at least 30 years. You may want to check that out in k-12math.info. Jim Kelly

missing definitions.
A rational function can be thought of as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are functions in their own right. More than, "thought of", this usage is common in classrooms. The arithmetic term described is actually the definition of a rational number. Fraction has a broader sense, for instance. 1.2/3 is a fraction, though it does not meet the definition as currently stated. 134.29.231.11 18:56, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Correct definition with "integer"
With a non-integer numerator or a non-integer denominator, simplify a fraction would be meaningless. So the following definition is wrong.
 * A ratio of two numbers, the numerator and the denominator, usually written one above the other and separated by a vinculum (horizontal bar)

With the word "integers" instead of "numbers", the following definition is correct.
 * A ratio of two integers, the numerator and the denominator, usually written one above the other and separated by a vinculum (horizontal bar)

— Ceciliia 08:16, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

No source says integer. A fraction with integers is a special type of fraction - a common (or vulgar) fraction. pi/4 is a fraction, as is sqrt(2)/2, 1.5/2 and 1 1/2 /2. This was pointed out in the edit summary AND even in the previous section here --JimWae 09:45, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

 * A fraction is a particular ratio, where both numerator and denominator are integers. See below. — Ceciliia 08:27, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * WRONG - what you are describing is a common fraction:. SemperBlotto 08:34, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Affirm is not sufficient to convince. The definition deals with. Had you read below my explanation before canceling  my changes? Had you read this code at the entry “fraction”: <!-- A fraction is a way to write a rational number: as a digit and a number are two different things, a fraction and a number are two different things --> What is the meaning of “simplify” or “reduce” a fraction, in your opinion? — Ceciliia 09:29, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Implied adjectives
A correct definition of “fraction” was already justified in the previous section. Since we had again to correct the expression “two numbers”, I thought that the sentence would be better without comma. Now, there are four sentences. In the second sentence, an example enlightens about the general meaning. The topic of the third sentence is the line that separates the integers. The last sentence defines the words “numerator” and “denominator”.

No source justifies the wrong JimWae’s definition.  Maybe a source is upcoming.

How to find a source that says what we might write before a noun in a given context, without changing the meaning? Before the noun “fraction”, we can add an adjective like “common”, or “ordinary”, or “simple”, or “vulgar”, to denote the same thing: a fraction. Create an entry “vulgar fraction” is a very bad idea, because readers will believe that such an adjective is necessary to denote a particular fraction. The two expressions “vulgar fraction” and “fraction” have the same (ordinary) meaning, an adjective like “vulgar” is implied.

When some definitions are together in a book or website, the set of definitions is coherent or incoherent. Nobody will find a source that says they are consistent or inconsistent. The words “ratio” and “fraction” would be two synonyms, if the numerator or denominator of a fraction may represent any number. Fortunately, there is no list of synonyms neither in the entry “fraction”,  nor in the entry “ratio”.  A fraction is a particular ratio, where both numerator and denominator are integers.

The following statements are in (elementary). For example,  2.5  is not a natural number, so the ratio 1 / 2.5 is not a fraction. However,  1 / 2.5 = 40 / 100 and 40 / 100 is a fraction. The GCD of 40  and  100 is 20, so we get the reduced fraction 2 / 5 equal to 0.4 by dividing  40 and  100 by this same common divisor: 20. — Ceciliia 08:27, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Simplify  1 / 2.5  is meaningles with the last definition. — Ceciliia 09:50, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

 * No source has been supplied which says fractions must be written with integer numerator and integer denominator. "Half" is a fraction, so is 0.1, so is 40%, so is $1/2/2$. If $a/b$ is a way to expresses a fraction, no citation has been found to support saying it is so only when a and b are both integers - it is even unnecessarily dogmatically restrictive to say it only expresses a fraction when both a and b are rational numbers. Fraction has 2 meanings - one as a number (or non integer part of a number) that is between zero and one. A second meaning is as the expression of a number (thus qualifying $2/1$ and $0/1$ as fractions).
 * No source has been supplied that common fraction and fraction mean the same thing - indeed many sources can be found to the contrary, specifying integers for common fractions and not so specifying for "fraction".
 * Also note what are called compound or complex fractions - fractions in which numerator and/or denominator are fractions
 * Whether $pi/4$ is a fraction is a separate matter - but there is no immediate reason to rule it out - especially if someone has not yet determined that pi is irrational. It is written in the form of a fraction, and it is certainly a part of a whole - an incommensurate part. We could indeed write fractions containing irrationals that evaluate to rational numbers - such as $pi/2/pi$ --JimWae 20:23, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * evidence that fractions are commonly accepted to include non-rational components is provided by the common usage of "rationalizing fractions" and/or rationalizing the denominator of a fraction --JimWae 20:42, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * $2√3/3√12$ is also commonly accepted as a fraction - AND it makes sense to ask a person to simplify it.--JimWae 21:14, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

 * In that definition of “fraction”,  the first word is between brackets:  “ ”.  The word  “arithmetic”  does it have the same meaning for you and me,  I am unsure.  For example, the number  √$\overline{2}$  is irrational, and  √$\overline{2}$  is not an arithmetical writing.  In my opinion, both numerator and denominator of a fraction  . — Ceciliia 05:12, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, we could simply change "arithmetic" to "mathematics", but there's no need. I have not argued that we must say fractions do not have to be rational numbers. You have not addressed the other points I made, such as $1/2/2$, nor have you provided a single source for what you acknowledge is your "opinion".--JimWae 01:30, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I disagree, the ordinary context of the word “fraction” in mathematics is not the entire domain of mathematics, that is too wide.  The ordinary context is indicated between brackets:  arithmetic.

 * Why not a comment about your writing:  $1 / 2 / 2$,  that is not a ratio of two integers,  but that represents a rational number.  The writing $1 / 4$ is one way among the infinite number of ways to write  0.25  as a fraction — as a ratio of two integers —. — Ceciliia 09:57, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

 * You have been arguing - without providing a single reference - that fractions are the ratio of integers. $1 / 2 / 2$ is not a ratio of integers - or at least is not written as such, even though it evaluates to such - yet it is still accepted as a fraction - even in grade school arithmetic. Your argument goes against common usage and is unsourced. What more needs to be said?--JimWae 20:42, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Please, let’s be clear.  First, your writing  $1 / 2 / 2$  is a ratio.  Then, the numerator of your ratio represents a conceptual object called numerical object.  That number equals  0.5,  it is not integer.  Therefore your ratio is not a fraction.  But the number that is represented by your ratio is rational:  the conceptual object is rational, that we can write  0.25  for example.  In other words, at least one fraction exists — one ratio of two integers exists — that represents your numerical object.  There are an infinite number of fractions that are equal to  0.25  — that represent the number  0.25 —.

 * Many abuses of language are unavoidable in the current language.  For example, I will say that I write a number, and everybody will understand me.  However I have written something that represents a number.  Here we are discussing about a definition in arithmetic, so we have to be accurate.  For example, when you write above “at least is not written as such”, so you no longer talk about your writing, you are talking about the object represented by the writing.  For example, you wrote above that "half" is a fraction, and I disagree, sorry.  Without any context we cannot understand the word "half", and a given word will never be an arithmetical writing.  For example, there is no numerator in three quarters of some cake.  In other words, a quantity of cake is not an arithmetical writing.  We don’t need reference to affirm that. — Ceciliia 03:47, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Please see my previous post--JimWae 18:35, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I had quoted several passages of JimWae’s messages, to indicate several mistakes. And JimWae’s answer is:  “please see my previous post.”  Quite unconvincing.

“WRONG - what you are describing is a common fraction”, wrote SemperBlotto above. But we cannot deduce anything from a definition of “common fraction”, that is an outdated phrase. Moreover, "Common_fractions"  in Wikipedia redirects to the top of "Fraction_(mathematics)",  so “common fraction” and “fraction” have the same meaning in the current pages of Wikipedia.

In "Talk:Fraction_(mathematics)" of Wikipedia, the meaning of the title word is forcefully discussed, notably by JimWae. According to his last messages,  it seems that a fraction would be “a part of a whole”, that is obviously not mathematical. Very surprising. JimWae is locked in contradictions.

— Ceciliia 09:24, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * If it helps, we go by usage, so whatever English speakers call a fraction is a fraction. 'Accuracy' according to a prescriptive source isn't too important. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:32, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Moreover, contradiction of implications isn't necessarily a fatal objection to a definition. Also, it is normal for a definition to be about one sentence long, with very few clauses. The challenge is in inferring meaning from actual usage. The art is in coming up with a small number of terse definitions that together span the range of usage. DCDuring TALK 12:49, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The above comments are off the point.  Here JimWae does not reply, but often he has written in Wikipedia, notably in Talk:Fraction_(mathematics).  A fraction would represent a “part of a whole”, according to the current beginning  of "Fraction_(mathematics)" in Wikipedia.  That definition is not mathematical. — Ceciliia 05:30, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I am not responsible for that definition at wikipedia, and when the right time comes I will discuss it there. You have been arguing - without providing a single reference or receiving any support from other editors - that fractions are the ratio of integers. What's any of this got to do with your unsupported conflation of common fractions with fractions in general? --JimWae 20:06, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

 * When you replaced “integers” with “numbers”,  you wrote:  “no source below (or elsewhere) says integer”.  We don't need source, because the simple reason to say “integer” is context: arithmetic.  And you are off the point when you add an adjective like “common” or “vulgar”. — Ceciliia 08:34, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

 * So you are saying there's a different definition for "fraction" in arithmetic from the one in mathematics? Do you have a source for that? In fact, it is routine to treat (3/4)/4 as a fraction even in elementary school arithmetic. Even if there were different definitions, that would not justify keeping "integer" there for this entry - as the entry ought to be comprehensive -- for all of mathematics, not just arithmetic. Probably we should change "arithmetic" to "mathematics" -- AND, as I point out above, even in arithmetic there can be non-integers in fractions, AND thus the definition is the same regardless. What else needs to be said? I will not repeat this again, and will ignore any responses that do not consider this. --JimWae 21:25, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Your first contradiction is more and more flagrant:  affirm without source is a fault for other people, not for you. — Ceciliia 09:20, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

User talk:--Stranger/WA

WA - Wiktionarians Anonymous A place to come after one too many in the Beer Parlour.

Dedication
This page is dedicated to and inspired by CMK. Wiktionary has deeply benefited from his addiction.

Introduction
Have you studied the "Recent Changes" screen late at night wondering what is taking someone so long to make the next edit? Q2 Do you actually think "36dd - the ideal breast size" is pretty good information and ought to be an entry? If you've answered, "yes", to any of these questions, then you've come to the right place. It's time to admit you have a problem and that you're addicted to Wiktionary.

It's okay. You're with friends here. We don't have lives either.

The Cure
I hear it's a good rock band. Oh, sorry, wrong forum. Let me start again.

The cure, I'm afraid, is to follow a hard and fast rule from which there are no exceptions. You may not use Wiktionary (but you may use your computer) on (a) if your first name begins with the letter A-M: even-numbered Tuesdays, odd-numbered Thursdays; or (b) if your first name begins with the letter N-Z: odd-numbered Tuesdays, even-numbered Thursdays.

Stay away from Wiktionary AND your computer on Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday each week, preferrably stagger them.

Talk:pulse dialing

There is also a rotary-dial phone that's even older. And what about a hand-crank phone? --Stranger 20:31, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

anilingus

Alternative forms

 * (rare)

Etymology
Allegedly coined by sexologist who had already used  in such a sense of denoting the practice instead of its actor and spread by the tenth edition of Psychopathia sexualis of 1898 (English edition page 185, German edition page 124, referencing a description of his in Centralblatt für die Krankheiten der Harn- und Sexual-Organe Vol. VI of 1895 pages 355–357). However that usage of this word is just one incidental one and such an etymology may be transferred from the observation of other sexological term having spread by Krafft-Ebing’s book. Likely independently coined at various occasions by analogy to as more frequently known, that is a translingual.

Noun

 * 1) The stimulation of the anus using the mouth as a sexual act.

Talk:consequence

The first definition reads "That which follows something on which it depends". I think that's ambiguous, an offspring depends on his family, but nobody will say she is a "consequence" of her family. I'd reword that to "That which follows something which causes it", but this wording would make the definition after the semicolon redundant ("that which is produced by a cause"), and I don't want to look like I'm trying to impose my point of view. What do you think? --81.181.249.18 21:20, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I have read this several times and the only conclusion I can come to is that you have a clarity of mind I lack. Sometimes these talk pages aren't monitored that much, so I leave this comment more to assure you your opinion isn't being ignored than anything else.  I would also encourage you to create an account at Wiktionary, so that the more feeble minded among us can ask you to explain yourself with simplier words.  Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.  I hope you will contribute more.  --Stranger 23:11, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Another definition
I think that another meaning should be included: bad consequence. Many people say consequence when they mean bad concequence, like If you do this there will be serious concequences. Doesn't sound like he's gonna give him some candy. I didn't want to include it without asking first.

 * Well, you may be right. The definitions given are partially from a 95-year old dictionary in this case I tnink, and are much more formal that what we would have now as well as just not including some modern meanings very well. It could be that including an example under one of the senses already defined will clarify the potential for the meaning that you refer to. DCDuring TALK 05:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

 * How's the usage example that's in there now? DCDuring TALK 05:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Quotation from "Underworld"
I found an interesting quotation on page 764 of DeLillo's "Underworld", probably definition noun.5 : "Nick could not fail to understand the consequence of the moment, a man of this particular life who is going to talk to him about his father". Should it be included in the entry despite its length? Wouldn't it belong to the citations tab (currently empty)?
 * Knock yourself out. — Ungoliant (falai) 19:56, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

(Not) dividing up synonyms in meanings
Somebody put Template:checksense on the synonyms in this definition:

 * The terms below need to be checked and allocated to the definitions (senses) of the headword above. Each term should appear in the sense for which it is appropriate. Use the templates or  to add them to the appropriate sense(s).

I removed it because I'm not convinced that's a good use of time. It will take significant time to divide up the synonyms because a lot of them apply to many meanings. It might inhibit people in the future from adding more synonyms. And readers can click each potential synonym (if they want) to investigate if it's a synonym for the meaning they intend.

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 VVind. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name VVind~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 00:24, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:touch-tone dialing

Also see Talk:pulse dialling.

If we were to define the words literally, one must ask the question: how can you "touch" (or feel) a "tone" (or musical note)? Therefore, this must be an idiomatic expression.

My two cents. --Stranger 23:01, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Not at all. This article is a 3-word phrase, the problem you not occurs only within the 2-word phrase touch-tone which is indeed idiomatic, should have a definition, and does have in print dictionaries, sometimes capitalised. — Hippietrail 23:14, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
