Talk:archaic

This pae is under active discussion, but in the policy discussion page Obsolete and Archaic Terms and it's associated talk pae Wiktionary talk:Obsolete and Archaic Terms--Richardb 14:37, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Extract from policy discussion page: Note! As at  14  August  2006, this is not yet Wiktionary policy. Please amend if necessary at a later date. Andrew massyn 21:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Obsolete
No longer in use; found only in very old texts. Examples: zyxt, yclept
 * Virtually noöne would currently use the word or meaning, and very, very few would understand the word or meaning if it was used in speech or text.

Archaic
No longer in general use, but still found in some contemporary texts (eg, the Bible). Examples: thou (singular second-person subject; "you"), œconomy
 * Generally understood by educated people, but rarely used in current texts or speech.

Unfashionable/Dated
Still in use, but generally only by older people, and considered unfashionable or superseded, particularly by younger people. Examples: wireless, groovy, gramophone, gay (in the senses of "bright", "happy", etc.)

Old English
Ancient words, from before AD 1100, that are so differently spelt from current spelling, or completely different in meaning, as to be virtually a foreign language to modern English speakers. These are to be treated as foreign words needing translation from the language of Old English, and not as English words at all, and thus not needing tagging as Archaic or Obsolete.
 * What of Middle English words from between AD 1100 and AD 1550/1600, when Modern English is considered to start?

Deleted
What should I do when my archaic words get deleted? The deletion policy says specifically not to delete words for being archaic. Mathiastck 00:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

archaic
Rfd-redundant: "(of words) No longer in ordinary use, though still used occasionally to give a sense of antiquity."

From RFV:

 Rfv-sense: "(of words) No longer in ordinary use, though still used occasionally to give a sense of antiquity." Having a hard time seeing how to verify this as distinct from sense 1 ("of or characterized by antiquity"). I suppose we would need something like a use of "archaic vocabulary" to refer not to obsolete words but specifically to a preexisting body of words regarded as archaisms. Or something that would specifically avoid referring to a modern usage of a little-known obsolete term as "archaic", reserving that term for archaisms already established in speech. Alternatively, perhaps this could be converted to a usage note on the ways the term is documented in various dictionaries? -- Visviva 20:42, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The challenged definition is quite similar to one of the senses given in each of MWOnline, RHU, AHD, Collins Pocket, Encarta, etc. DCDuring TALK 22:14, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems comparable to above. It exists but it could take dozens of hours to wade through all the other uses of archaic to fin it. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:05, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Move to RFD. If someone had presented cites like Visviva describes, this would obviously be a keep, but as it is, I think it's an . (More precisely: I think its use in reference to words is in clearly widespread use, the question is merely whether we want to treat that separately from the more general sense.) —Ruakh TALK 20:39, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

—Ruakh TALK 22:10, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

 * By the way, keep per DCDuring's comment above. —Ruakh TALK 22:11, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Backasswardly, I have provided citations that show how editors and translators (mostly) use "archaic" in reference to the language of the authors of the works they are editing and translating. I personally can't quite follow Visviva's comment. Whether our existing definition is the best, I don't know, but there does seem to be a distinct literary use of the term. DCDuring TALK 23:30, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

 * As I understand Visviva's comment, his point is that any word describable by sense 2 is also describable by sense 1, so the only citations that would specifically support sense 2 as a distinct sense are citations that explicitly distinguish "archaic" words from (say) "obsolete" words (even though "obsolete" words are also describable by sense 1). However, nothing in WT:CFI demands that we have citations that specifically support sense 2 as a distinct sense, so I didn't feel justified in removing the sense as "RFV failed" on that basis. (And I would strenuously oppose adding such a requirement to the CFI. One reason to list two senses separately is that they're clearly distinguishable by citations, but there are plenty of other potential subjective reasons. We might almost as well demand that each occurrence of the sense-label be justified by three cites where an old person says, "I don't know what that means. Talk like a normal person, young man.") —Ruakh TALK 00:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * By the way, gets well over a thousand hits, but it's hard to be sure of the distinction they're drawing between the two. (And some might not be drawing any distinction; "or" sometimes connects synonyms, when some sort of mentioniness is involved.), though it gets well under a hundred, might actually be more useful. —Ruakh TALK 20:43, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Rfd-redundant

Make this word redundant? No way!!! It is a beautiful word, often used.

It is easily enough understood from the one def that it is also used to express antiquity but since it is demonstrated as a unique additional meaning but not very much different merge it onto the end of the other definition. This is a case of a better definition being needed not a second one.Gtroy 20:09, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

 * NEDCOR BANK LTD v LISINFO 61 TRADING (PTY) LTD 2005 (2) SA 432 (C) is a trite principle of our law that the term 'liquid document' for purposes of summary judgment proceedings has the same meaning as a 'liquid document' for purposes of provisional sentence proceedings. In Rich and Others v Lagerwey 1974 (4) SA 748 (A) at 754H, the Court said that, if a document in question, upon a proper construction thereof, evidences by its terms and without resort to evidence extrinsic thereto, an unconditional acknowledgment of indebtedness in an ascertained amount of money, the payment of which is due to the creditor, it is one upon which provisional sentence may properly be granted.

Wording
 Any numbering associating translations with definitions is unreliable or incorrect.

 * As someone who's spent large amounts of time cleaning up translations properly only to have a lazy editor come along a couple edits later, assume without basis that the whole thing is wrong, and invalidate it all with I'd strongly prefer this be reworded.  I would change that "is" to "may now be" and add something like:
 * Even non-native speakers can help verify numbered translations by reviewing the article's history, using the number to match the translation to the appropriate definition at the time the translation was added.
 * ... but I can't think of a more concise way to say that, and the thing is huge enough as it is. —Muke Tever 23:53, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The whole thing needs a rewrite, pointing only to either Translations to be checked or Category: Check translations or the sub-cat Category: Translations to be checked and more detailed instructions spelled out in whichever of those places is deemed best.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 00:09, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, a description/example of how to cleanly remove "{{ttbc|" needs to be there also. --Connel MacKenzie T C 00:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * As stated in the BP, I think Translations to be checked should fulfil that purpose. In this case, this template would point to that page. Whatever rewrite there is, the template should certainly keep adding pages to Category:Check translations. — Vildricianus 20:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't we keep ttbc as part of the regular translation table now? Then we can get rid of the -top, -mid and -bottom templates as well. 04:33, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * We still still need a separate section because for polysemous terms, you might not know which definition a given translation applies to, which I think was the original purpose of the checktrans tables. --WikiTiki89 04:39, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per Wikitiki as et al perform the vital function of grouping translation requests that do not obviously correspond to any existing sense.
 * I have never been sure of the best way to draw attention to translations that may not correspond to the current wording of any current definition. Separate tables or separate  tables?
 * allows one to retain the gloss under which the translations were presumably added. But with the JS to accelerate adding translations, would make it too easy to add translations based on a superseded gloss. :::I hope that the JS does not work for . But  also does not display any gloss, so creators of checktrans tables would have to insert comments and users would need to pay attention to such comments, which can more easily become obsolete than a normally visible gloss.

Translations
Please stop adding translations from or to languages other than those you speak fluently/have very good knowledge of! I removed your translations from bygone and particular. They had wrong German translations and some others seemed suspicious as well. Do not copy and paste from other webpages! Only add information you are absolutely sure about. Language names in the Translations section are arranged alphabetically. Ncik 13:59, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

The Vietnamese word danh từ means "noun", not "politician". Now that the Vietnamese Wiktionary's more developed, you can usually consult its corresponding entries for translations, though you'll have to watch out if there's more than one definition for a particular word. Other online sources – particularly websters-online-dictionary.org – have terrible translations, so look for sites that were developed by Vietnamese speakers, not dictionary collectors. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 09:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Suffixes
Hi, please remember that suffixes are not only Latin here; also suffixes in any language, especially English, are allowed here.

--Connel MacKenzie T C 06:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I know. In both English and Latin, this suffix is exactly the same: "-rix" (as in "dominatrix"), not "-ix" ("dominatix"?) or "-trix" ("dominattrix"?). Hence I'm merging both misspelled pages into a new, accurate page, -rix. Do you disagree? -Silence 06:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * No. Sorry for the confusion.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 06:54, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

evolution
In your recent edit to the article evolution, you added in an extra definition line. While this is fine in it self, the order of the numbering of the definitions changed and therefore the corresponding numbers in the translation table became incorrect making the translations misleading. I have edited the article to correct this minor mistake and wanted to make you aware. Have fun contributing.--Williamsayers79 09:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

caedes
The plural genitive caedium is by far more common in the literature than caedum. --EncycloPetey 18:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

 * OK. Could we add some sources and include both forms, noting the more frequent one? (Or better yet, note which periods or authors vary on this form.) Lewis suggests the expected caedium is more common, but Sihler's New Comparative Grammar of Latin and Greek sez (p. 316): "There are a score or so nouns, some rare, with nom.sg. in -es. Of these, three go like cons. stems: sedes 'seat' gen.pl. sedum; so also caedum (caedes 'slaughter'), and vates 'seer' (the only masc. in the class), though Cicero has vatium. The rest, aedes 'room' gen.pl. aedium, clades 'destruction', proles, and so on, are like i-stem nouns in all regards apart from the nom.sg., and on the evidence of the App.Prob., which proscribes caedis, prolis, and some others as well as vatis, as a class they were liable to remodeling into ordinary i-stems." -Silence 18:58, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

 * So we have only Sihler's claim, but he cites no one on this? --EncycloPetey 03:28, 20 October 2010 (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 Silence. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Silence~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 00:06, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Wiktionary:Shortcuts

Compact list of shortcuts used
This list is a trimmed-down one of main shortcuts. There is also a generated list. A large number of shortcuts are like WT:AEN => About English where "WT:A" is followed by a two- or three-letter code for a language.

What is a Wiktionary shortcut?
“Shortcuts” in Wiktionary, derived from their counterparts in Wikipedia, are a specialized type of redirection page that can be used to get to a commonly used Wiktionary reference page more quickly.

How to use Wiktionary shortcuts
A Wiktionary shortcut can be be entered into the Wiktionary search box to quickly bring you to a reference page. For example, you can type “WT:BP” into the search box and click the “Go” button to get to the Beer parlour page, instead of having to type “Wiktionary:Beer parlour”.

Alternatively, you can use the shortcut in the URL (web address). For example, you are currently viewing the Wiktionary:Shortcut page in English. The URL is http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Shortcut You could get from here to the Beer parlour page by replacing “Wiktionary:Shortcut” with “WT:BP” in the URL (web address) field (followed by “Enter”).

Shortcuts are presented in all capital letters (“All-Caps”), but the search box is case-insensitive. For example, in the search box, you can type “wt:bp” instead of “WT:BP”.

However, using the URL method typically requires that you match the capitalization of the shortcut.

Adding shortcut link boxes in the destination pages
You can add a “shortcut link box” in a shortcut destination page, in order to educate the users about the shortcuts available. A shortcut link box (the “shortcut template”) is added to the entry source (“Editing” page) using.
