French translation
The title of the 1973 French translation by Georges Magnane of Rabbit Redux (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rattrap%C3%A9) is Rabbit rattrapé, meaning "Rabbit recaptured," possibly suggesting the translator's characterization of Harry Angstrom's occupation as a linotype operator. Actually, French would use the Latin "redux" also, although the French Wiktionnaire (http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/redux) calls for conjugating it; even so, the masculine singular would still be "redux."☺ Dick Kimball (talk) 17:50, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

I know that Ambition (the game) is played in Japan. Does anyone know the Japanese name for it?

I want to recreate all words and simplify their meanings. I am very ambitous
I think superordinante society should re-evaluate its own misconceptions

RFV-failed sense
This sense failed RFV. It should be re-added when it can be cited: - -sche (discuss) 05:24, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) A four-player card game of tricks played mainly in North America, Europe, and Japan.

Rfv-sense X 2:
 * 1) The purported pathway to a chosen career.
 * 2) A four-player card game of tricks played mainly in North America, Europe, and Japan.

The first sense above seems to be an observation about an assertion concerning the personal characteristic. I doubt that it is attestable as a sense.

The game would have to meet WT:BRAND AFAICT, but who knows what our legal department will say? DCDuring TALK 16:27, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

 * In any event, it needs citations, which I could not readily find. Perhaps others know where or how to look. DCDuring TALK 17:22, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

The word is attested from the late 1500s in the forms curmudgeon and curmudgen, and during the 17th century in numerous spelling variants, including cormogeon, cormogion, cormoggian, cormudgeon, curmudgion, curmuggion, curmudgin, curr-mudgin, curre-megient.

 * “These trolls think they’re being satirical and brave because they’re putting these dangerous, edgy so-called jokes on there, but in reality it’s cowardly. It’s the antithesis of bravery because they rarely identify themselves or give away personal information. That’s not courage.”
 * 1) * 2015, Ellen Pao (16 July 2015), Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao: The trolls are winning the battle for the Internet, Washington Post (retrieved 2017-11-09; archived from the original 2017-10-20):
 * A large portion of the Internet audience enjoys edgy content and the behavior of the more extreme users; it wants to see the bad with the good, so it becomes harder to get rid of the ugly. But to attract more mainstream audiences and bring in the big-budget advertisers, you must hide or remove the ugly.

Talk:stepson

In this and many other definitions there is a tendency in many dictionaries to use one's in a way which is not really correct. The definition before I changed it was: This is correct if speaking of my stepson, but not if it's someone else's stepson. More correct, but more cumbersome: [anonymous comment left 19 December 2004]
 * 1) The son of one's spouse from ...
 * 1) A person's stepson is the son of his or her spouse from...

I don't see a big difference between that and: And so, more succinctly: The pronoun one doesn't necessarily mean you. - dcljr 07:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) One's stepson is the son of one's spouse...
 * 1) The son of one's spouse...

Current or former spouse
There are two distinct usages of stepson. In one the relationship ends with the relationship of the spouse. In the other the relationship continues. Trying to accurately define this second usage of the word seems very tricky to get right.

For example if Jane has a son named Bob, with here first husband Fred. Then Jane divorces Fred and marries Edward. Bob is now Edward's stepson by the first usage of the word stepson. Jane then divorces Edward and marries John. Bob is still a stepson of Edward by the second usage of the word stepson. However, if Jane and John have a son Timothy, Timothy would not be a stepson of Edward by any conventional usage of the word stepson.

Talk:stepfather

Tricky
This and similar definitions are tricky if we want to be accurate (perhaps over-pedantically so?). The definition at the time I write this is:

 * 1) One's mother's husband other than one's father

If my mother married John Smith before I was born, then left him, without divorce, for Bill Bloggs, and I was born of this union, then the given definition would make John Smith my stepfather. Old Comment, 213.208.107.91, December 19, 2004

 * Yes, this is a tricky & interesting issue. I don't know what that 'the first husband' is called in relation to later children. Here's my scenario:

(1) A warrior is married to a woman and has children (Group A). (2) The warrior dies in the line of duty. (3) The woman remarries to a farmer and has children (Group B). (4) The farmer is the stepfather of the children of the warrior (Group A). (5) The warrior is the ??????? of the children of the farmer (Group B).
 * The answer appears to be that the warrior is not a stepfather of the children of the farmer. The best you can say is the obvious: that the warrior is the first husband of your mother. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 17:15, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Here's another scenario.

(1) A woman gives birth to a child with bio-dad "A". (2) Another man "B" who is married to the woman is listed as father on birth documents and acts as the father of child for years. (3) Bio-dad "A" later gets the child for years.
 * Clearly Bio-dad was never a stepfather. Under the broad sense written as "A husband of one's parent distinct from one's biological father", the other man "B" could be a stepfather of the child. This defies my understanding of what a stepfather is; I would not say this is a stepfather. I don't know of any famous cases where other man "B" would be correctly called stepfather. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 15:51, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Ex-stepfather
See the discussion on stepmother. There appears to be two distinct definitions of stepfather in use.

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

User:Richardb/Project - Using Category to list Neologisms

Purpose
Trying to reduce the number of lists in Wiktionary which need serious maintenance, meaning they will often, probably always be out of date.

Aim
To establish using categories as the way to group / list neologisms. It is simple for any person to then add a word to the "list" of Neologisms. And also simple for remove that classificxation once they feel the word is fully established.

How

 * Use category code
 * Use code   and Template:neo as quick way of putting the  code into a word.
 * Use category:neologism as the way of listing the neologisms.

Could also use sub-categories such as "neologism-unstable", linked into the "neologism" category.

Consensus needed
Is this the way to go? Do we have a consensus on that? Please feel free to add your comments/vote here.
 * Project Proposer--Richardb 23:36, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea to me. flashcrowd is a good example. It seems like words like flashcrowd needs to be labeled as something within the definition itself (same way we would with jargon). The term neologism seems too technical to be part of def itself. --Eean 19:13, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Wiktionary talk:Project - Cleanup of basic English entries

This seems like a useful idea. Go ahead and start with it. The big difficulty will be in getting people to properly report what they have done. Eclecticology 01:20, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Some Present Comments

 * I've been working on some F's. There are a lot that need to be surgically cleaned and reworked. Maybe someone could look at one or two of the ones I've done, like fly, and comment. Mostly I clean out old Webster quotes etc etc. But then the word categories seem to replicate in the Translations area. So, for instance, there are two ADVERB entries on the page, each exactly the same. One for the main, and one for Translations. What say? I deleted 1 of several.
 * Just a suggestion here--take some of those clumsy entries and dump everything that bogs down the page, all the way to the translation tables (keep those). Sand off the rust, right down to bare metal. I can't see any other way of tackling this project. The clutter. Oh, the clutter. --HiFlyer 18:41, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I would be happy to get a word or two approved for actual use. Maybe someone could look at a few of the "f"s I've cleaned...I would like to whittle the list down for the team, but as of now some input would do. Also, as mentioned in my previous post above, some of these words need to be sanded down to bare vowels. Any suggestions? --HiFlyer 00:03, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Your Past Comments

 * This seems like a useful idea. Go ahead and start with it. The big difficulty will be in getting people to properly report what they have done. Eclecticology 01:20, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, this is worth pursuing. Several people have commented that Wiktionary is concentrating too much on newer words to the detriment of long-standing ones (although, of course, words in both of these categories need to be added at some point).

 * Initially, I understood "NOTS" to mean "the word does not have an entry yet", but does it actually mean "this word has not been reviewed yet"? Perhaps this title could be renamed, and another added, such as "DNE" (for "does not exist") or "NYW" ("not yet written") or somesuch.
 * Means NOTS - Not Started (the checking of the word has not yet started)--Richardb 08:48, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * The use of categories is a good one. Richard, could you link the phrase "Basic English word list" to the Basic English word list (which I will refer to as BEWL), so that users can see which words need to be added?

 * Could the table easily be generated by copying and pasting the BEWL and having a text editor add the tabulation and initial "not started" status of all the words?

 * How do you plan to coordinate this? I think this ought to go to the beer parlour for wider discussion.  Is this something you only want the most active contributors to work on?.— Paul G 09:57, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * At this stage I didn't want the "general public" alerted to the shortcomings of Wiktionary to easily. And didn't want to get the vandals on board to easily. Please just spread the word to whoever needs to know.
 * Also, I prefer to organise activities into some sort of project, rather than just a log of a discussion--Richardb 08:48, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I wholeheardedly support the notion of cleaning up the basic words. I'm not sure we need anything like this much process to do it.  First, all the words on the Basic English list proper at least have entries.  I can't speak for the "extended" versions, but I personally added entries for all the missing items a while ago (see the history for trick -- the comment indicates that trick was the last such entry).

 * That's not to say there aren't interesting basic words left undefined. Again, I've put up a frequency-ordered list of 1,000 words on User:dmh/playpen.  In any case, "Not Started" as I understand it is redundant with "wikified link is red".  The next level would be "entry is there but useless", and I would mark that as rfc just like anything else.  Beyond that, there isn't really a well-defined ending point.  It might be nice to know that three people had looked over an entry and approved it, but until such time as this is dead easy to do — that is, the system is helping us out on this — I'm not enthusiastic about keeping a detailed manual status list on some page.

 * Wikimedia are fundamentally biased against this sort of process-heavy approach to begin with. That's not to say that there's no room for process.  I like the new rfd/rfc apparatus.  It's a good example of using the system to our advantage: categories allow us to leave the centralized list to the system.  However, I don't think the approach will scale particularly well to multiple categories, much less to the sort of lifecycle-based process we're discussing here.

 * In an alternate universe, it might be nice to have a common data model, with, say "part of speech" and "definition" as primitive objects, and with life cycles defined for various entities. With the right tools, this could still be wiki.  There's no reason a data model can't be edited collaboratively just like anything else.  However, we don't have these tools, and without them, I don't think it's a good idea to go too far down that path.

 * On the other hand, it would be nice to at least do the intial review of sorting out the rfc entries in a somewhat coordinated manner. Here's a suggestion:

 * I'll take the A's. Anything that's blatantly bad, I'll mark rfc.  I may or may not tweak the others as I go.  By blatantly bad I mean malformed, badly formmatted, or missing obvious definitions.  When I'm done, I'll note that here and grab another chunk.  Everyone else can do likewise.
 * This will leave untouched some articles that really should get closer attention. I would welcome everyone to go down the frequency list in order and apply close scrutiny.  At any time.  When I last did this, flushed with success from finishing Basic English, I believe I got as far as of.  Doing a proper job of many of these is a lot of work (see the discussion page for of for the raw material I gathered).  I'm not willing to say anything on the top 100 by frequency is "done", but basics like "the", "a(n)" and "of" are at least closer than they were.

 * I mention the short words specifically because I don't think they fit the process above well at all. There is just too much space between "mininum usuable definition" and "really done and dusted."  Indeed, "done" may not even be possible, though at least people don't often try to invent new senses of of. -dmh 18:14, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm through the A's. I marked 7 as stub, 2 as musty and 1 for cleanup (see the respective categories for which ones).  Several others could stand work, but I'd encourage people to scan the whole list for that at leisure, and make notes or adjustments as they see fit.

 * I'm currently working on the B's. It may take me a while, but I'd suggest that anyone else joining in start at C's or later.
 * - Please now report progress in the project table Project - Cleanup of Basic English Words/Table-

 * All in all, the basic words are not in such bad shape as I'd feared. Many could use more definitions etc., but most at least have the primary senses.  I've made a lot of small formatting changes, but even there the most frequent problems are things like a missing English heading, or excessive wikification.  I'm starting to think that the idea that the basic vocabulary is a shambles is outdated, and that a more accurate view is that while there are some conspicuous gaps, most entries just need to be visited and fine-tuned from time to time, just like any other entry.

 * That said, it would be good to make a systematic sweep through and ensure that every entry
 * Is properly formatted, as we understand it.
 * Has definitions for every major familiar sense of the word.
 * Is tagged with the appropriate categories.
 * Has examples for all senses unless there is clearly no need.
 * Has a reasonably complete set of related terms and "see also" items.

 * I've been paying particular attention to format, missing senses and related/see also terms. I've been filling in examples if they come to mind or seem to be conspiciously missing, and I've been trying to tag idioms where appropriate.

 * I haven't put much emphasis at all on quotations, because I don't think they're as important for common words. I don't really learn anything new from knowing that Shakespeare used "when" or "if".  As I've tried to point out with rather, quotations can get in the way as much as helping.

 * If an entry seems to need more than just quick work, I've tagged it with a category like "cleanup", "stub" etc. I've also tried to link together the various flavors of "cleanup needed" so they all show up under Category:Requests_for_Cleanup.

 * For my money, the next big projects of this type after finishing the sweep through Basic English are making the same sweep through the top 1000 by frequency, and making sure that all the related/derived/see also terms mentioned on the Basic English list are defined (right now almost none are). Another idea is to fill in the topical index. -dmh 18:10, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Translations of basic English words
I encourage people to give translations of basic English words into other languages. Some complicated words may have translations but the most useful words may not have a translations or it is incomplete, missing transliteration or grammmar info. Anatoli 09:17, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Michael

Michael isn't an adjective. It apparently has translations as an adjective though. It presents an interesting problem. --Eean 07:26, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I have commented this section out as it is wrong to say that "Michael" is an adjective in English. I think these have been added just so that the Slovak translations can be added.  If proper names have inflections or cases when used adjectivally in certain languages, this information should go in the foreign-language pages rather than being shoehorned unnaturally into the English pages.  Proper nouns do not function as adjectives in English. — Paul G 8 July 2005 16:01 (UTC):

Re: "Proper nouns do not function as adjectives in English". Au contraire, I'd argue. If you've absorbed some of Joss Whedon's peculiar brand of English, just about anything can be turned into an adjective. Mind you, you'd have to add and "e" sound to the end (usually with a y), but it's done all the time nowadays. Not everybody does it, but people whose speech has been influenced by his writing or by other people influenced by his writing, often do. For instance, were Buffy the Vmapire Slayer still on the air, I'm sure it would not be amiss at all for a character to say another is "acting Tom Cruise-y".

Re: "I have commented this section out...". Um, do you mean to say you deleted comments? Because that isn't kosher, as it were. Not on Wiktionary or Wikipedia, it isn't. No matter how stupid the comment, the comment should stay.

Re: "this information should go in the foreign-language pages...". Um, what about people who might be looking for the meanings, inflections or cases that exist in other languages, without knowing how to speak those langauges? I don't speak Romanian or Hebrew, but I'd sure like to know if there were any differences between the word's use in those languages and English, especially if that language was the originator of the word/name, or if there is a pattern, such as you said there is with "Slovak languages", of that happening. -RW 63.21.75.12 20:53, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Clean-up
There was a block of translations that replicated (inexactly) some of the translations that were already there. The translations therefore need to be checked for accuracy. — Paul G 8 July 2005 16:01 (UTC)

Michael
Michael is a great name, better than the likes of Gary and Gio. I'm just wondering why there isn't a ST Michael day to honor me and all Michael's like me

 * St. Michael’s day, or Michaelmas, falls on September 29. —Stephen 11:38, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, on September 29, it's Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Gabriel the Archangel, Saint Raphael the Archangel, and Saint Uriel the Archangel's Feast Day. Though Uriel is much less known archangel.--Wikimichael22 16:28, 5 April 2008 (UTC)Wikimichael22

Etymology
There is no way that Michael can mean "One who is like God"; it is impossible in Hebrew. The correct meaning is given in "The Complete Dictionary of English and Hebrew first names", Alfred J Kolatch, pub Jonathan David, 1984--Runcorn 21:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Why is it impossible in Hebrew? Who = מי (mi); as or like is the prefix כ־ (ka-); God = אל (el). Put it together and you have "mi-ka-el." Looks pretty much like "who is like God". —Stephen 23:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Exactly; it means "Who is like God?" not "One who is like God". I have another reference: "The Encyclopedia of the Jewish Religion (ed. Werblowski & Wigoder, 1966), art. Michael: "literally, Who is like unto God?"--Runcorn 21:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:john

actually, some sources seem to say the "Ian" is English and others say its Scottish Gaelic (I've always been under the impression that Ian was Scottish, though I dunno about Gaelic). It does get confusing, especially since "English" is a nationality and a language. --Eean 07:48, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

well, the "New Name Dictionary" (I used Amazon's "search within a book") says plainly that Ian is the Scottish form of John. I don't know if that means Gaelic or not. --Eean 08:02, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Where is "John" used as an address to an unknown man — "Hey John, you got a light?" I'm not saying it's not used, but I've never heard it as such. The only generic uses I know are "client of a prostitute" ("Some johns are nicer than others"), which I see we have under the uncapitalized page, and the famous legal fiction "John Doe" (not to be confused with the bassist of the same name).

By the way, it's pages like this that make me regret not getting involved in the case-sensitivity discussion (which, frankly, just seemed like too much of a bogart to deal with at the time). What have we gained if information on "John" and "john" is split across two pages, not to mention mac/Mac/MAC, particularly when it is not always clear which page to file something under because the term is seen both capitalized and uncapitalized? -dmh 15:56, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Even before decapitalization, the words mac and MAC were on different pages (though Mac and mac were on the same). The whole issue only affected the first letter. \Mike 16:23, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

User:Richardb/Project - Structuring Policies and Guidelines

Status
Just an idea at present, being floated for comment and discussion

Proposal
To move Wiktionary towards having a more structured listing of policies, guidelines etc, as per the example of the more mature project, Wikipedia.

Benefits

 * Easier to search for, find policies
 * Easier to know what the current policy / guidleline consensus is.
 * Easier to structure discussion of changes or development of policy

Current Problems
Currently, many of the policies and guidelines of Wiktionary are ambiguosuly stated in amongst general discussion, such as in Beer Parlour, Beer Parlour Archives, Tutorial etc, often with conflicting statements of policy. There are also many unresolved policies, with no process to come to some resolution.

How to go about this project

 * As far as possible, and as far as appropriate, use a structure similar to the Wikipedia structure for policies and guidelines.
 * Let one person (me :-) ) develop the structure, populated with skeleton proposed policies.
 * Get consensus about if the structure is an acceptable starting point.
 * Invite experienced people to write the individual proposed policies.
 * Invite experienced people to discuss, come to a consensus on, or vote on the proposed policies.

Your comments
Please add your comments, observations, concerns here.
 * Its a good idea, we need something like this. For instance, protologisms were apparently againist the original policy of Wiktionary, but became part of the policy anyways (I don't know if there was much discussion or not).
 * What we have to keep in mind are the differences we have with Wikipedia:
 * we're only a handful of active contributors
 * This means that we should rely more on consensus and less on voting, since there isn't enough people for voting to work especially on mundane things.
 * I'm not suggesting a formal vote as such, just oneplace where people make their choice known, instead of having to search long logs to try to find who thinks which way to go.--Richardb 09:00, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * a Wiktionary contributor is much more likely to contribute to several languages.
 * Whereas each Wikipedia can have its own rules, as long as they keep to some standard it doesn't really matter. However, we can have all the rules we want but if it doesn't meet what is expected by contributors from other Wiktionary's they won't be followed. So if Wikipedia is a WTO, Wiktionary needs to be an European Union. We should try to follow (or change) the rules of Wiktionary in general and ideally only differ if it has to do with English itself. --Eean 18:27, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * oh yea, I've been browsing meta:Category:Wiktionary recently. It would be the place to propose "Wiktionary Union" type of policy. --Eean 19:21, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I agree that we need some sense of organization in what we have, but I would avoid the "like Wikipedia" element. They have developed a huge body of rules there, but without a structure to support that body of rules.  People can be found making up rules without a lot of people knowing what is happening.

 * Wikipedia rules can certainly be used as a starting point by the person drafting the rules, but they should still be subject to approval by the participants in this project. If you want to play a leading role in this Richard, by all means begin.  As long as you keep broad support for your process in the community it should work smoothly.  There will be times when you need to make a final decision before a divided community, but that exercise should be used aparingly.  The cost of doing so is measured in the reduction of goodwill toward you.

 * A good place to start might be with establishing the process for making rules including the difference between rules and guidelines. Eclecticology 09:05, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm not so sure there is really any difference betwen rules and guidleines in Wiktionary, at this stage. Anyone who doesn;t like it would no doubt amend it anyway ! But, at least we would know where the rules/guidelines are.

 * I'm not so much proposing making any rules or guidelines. I'm more for findign out what rules and guidelines do exist, and then storing them in a structure which is easy to understand, so you can find if there IS any rule or guideline.--Richardb 09:00, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I hope to do some work on this over Xmas break--Richardb 09:00, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
