Talk:bugaboo

This is good. I had no idea what a bugaboo was.

Bugaboo
This word is used in the book "A series of Unfortunate events".That's the second time I met this word. first time was when I bought the stroller for my baby, which called "Bugaboo" ( the stroller, not the baby :-) Also, I was watching PBS Kids (it was the only thing on before The Simpsons), and I fond some thing called, Word Girl(its actually a little funny =D ). Eventually I watch it whenever I get the chance, and it taught me the word, bugaboo.

Poe
Edgar Allen Poe published a short story, "The Man that was Used Up", in 1839 which refers to (fictitious?) military campaigns against ferocious tribes called the Bugaboo and the Kickapoo. The latter are a native American grouping, and I think the former may be related to a Bantu language called Bugabu.

Talk:infection

Definition of "infection"
What I found: "Noun...

The act or process of infecting. Retrieved from 'http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/infection'"

Just a quick one here: If I'm reading this correctly, the word, "infection" is being described as a noun. No problem there.

The problem, i think, is that the definition given, is descriptive of a verb. Specifically, this is an accurate definition of the verb, "to infect". infection is a noun, though, not a verb.

My suggestion: go to Wikipedia for this excellent definition:

"An infection is the detrimental colonization of a host organism by a foreign species. In infection, the infecting organism seeks to utilize the host's resources in order to multiply at the expense of the host. The infecting organism, or pathogen, interferes with the normal functioning of the host..."

One other, 'nit-piki' thing: Probably not a good idea to define 'infection', using the term, 'infecting'.

Please except this suggestion in the wiki-spirit of help and co-operation. And please let me hear from all who think I'm off-base here. Thanks for your time and consideration and all that you're doing to help this great project. Alcarreau 18:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Definition of "infection"
Wiktionary currently has: By contrast, Wikipedia has: Which raises the following questions: --Daniel Polansky 12:37, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) (pathology) The act or process of infecting.
 * 2) An uncontrolled growth of harmful microorganisms in a host.
 * 1) The detrimental colonization of a host organism by a foreign species.

Talk:masculism

Definition controversy
Connel MacKenzie believes that the word masculism is politically synonymous with the word feminism. The definition given by Connel MacKenzie sounds synonymous to feminism, and does not conform to the Wikipedia article, so I had to revert that edit. The words masculism and feminism are not meant to be synonymous with each other. Only a feminist believes that if women ruled the world everyone would be happy. Actually, masculism is the ideological flipside of feminism. Feminism supports the equality of women with men but not vice versa. Feminism is unilateral, but masculism is not. Feminism blames one sex for the predicament we find ourselves in, but masculism does not. Tedius Zanarukando 20:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

lol, feminism is the belief of equality between the sexes. women's rights cannot truly be equal to men, if men's aren't equal to women. masculism is purely a movement for the right's of men, but mostly one which supports the status-quo of patriarchy and is a de-facto or at times blatant supremacist movement (e.g. men who moan for equal rights in abortion and violation of a woman's bodily rights, when it's only women who give birth). in this edit

Masculism is about engaging the inequalities that men face in our society today. To compare it to Fascism is really a stretch. Why is it today, that you either support feminism or you're a misogynist?

Sense removed. Atelaes 07:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Concerns about the definition
This definition is Biased and incorrect. Why would the Wiktionary allow biased and incorrect definitions to be displayed here? Who knows... It's kinda sad actually. People think that masculism is the belief in a superiority in the male gender when, like, Feminism, it is a movement against male discrimination. Whoever wrote this definition did not do their homework. I'd like this changed please. ( moved from the page's history. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 07:17, 6 July 2010 (UTC) )

I don't know if I should have waited for someone else, but I edited it, and now the definition is more faithful, and similar to what Wikipedia itself portrays. in these edits

 * With respect, I wouldn't trust Wikipedia as far as I can throw my dining room table. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:54, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but I you don't trust a wiki project, why are you using it ? The article is adequately sourced and you can easily find the common denominator between masculinists if you look at their ideology. It is somehow analogous to feminism and its meaning is separate from Machismo/Male Chauvinism which is the counterpart to Femism/Marianism. You can't bend the meaning of words based on what you want them to mean, pal.

 * No, it is you who are basing definitions on what you want them to mean: we are going on pure usage. Some people do use it in a neutral sense, but many don't. Look at the 2004 citation in our entry: ‘The Rocky-Rambo syndrome puts on display the raw masculism which is at the bottom of conservative socialization and ideology.’ Clearly, here it is being used in a sense analogous with machismo. That is far from uncommon. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 07:47, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from using feminist sources & feminist propaganda to define masculism/masculinism. It is like using nazistic sources & nazistic propaganda to define the Jews. Please do not abuse the fact that the masculist movement is very young and therefore there are very few reliable "sources". - signed, a Masculist in this edit

Number of defs
In my opinion we have too many attempts to split meanings here. I think senses 1-3 should be combined and the definition made a little broader, along the lines of "The promotion of men or of male attributes and values, especially when seen as being detrimental to women; machismo; anti-feminism." Sense 4 is definitely distinct. Ƿidsiþ 11:49, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

RFV
In 2008, the sense "political movement supporting the equality of both genders" failed RFV. Thereafter, the entry had the definition "advocacy of the rights of men or promotion of values which are typically male; machismo; anti-feminism". Today, an editor [//en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=masculism&diff=19305201&oldid=18573728 split that] into three senses: What new citations have become available since 2008? The first sense has two citations already and only needs one more, the second needs two. (If they can't be attested separately, they can be recombined.) The last sense has one citation below it, but I'm not sure the citation supports the sense. - -sche (discuss) 04:28, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Support for male domination of women, for patriarchy; opposition to equality for women; anti-feminism.

Missing definition
Apparently there's been some trouble with this page in the past, which I didn't really look into before adding the definition: Now we've all probably heard it used like this and, based on the model of feminism, it's clearly the most obvious meaning, but for whatever reason it failed an RFV at some point. I won't claim to know exactly how all the behind-the-scenes stuff works on wiktionary - I usually just fix the odd thing or two when I notice something wrong or missing - but from what I gather we need to find some examples of the word being used with that definition. So, I googled the term, but - the Internet being as it is - most of what shows up is related to some movement to spam it as a tag on twitter; the only results I could see using it this way were in definitions from other dictionaries/encyclopaedias, which doesn't quite qualify as an example of use, so if anyone can help find some citable examples of use then we can add the definition back in and everything will be dandy.
 * 1) A doctrine or movement advocating equal rights for men in areas of perceived inequality.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for it, but it's a pretty rare word (to the extent that my Oxford hard-copy doesn't even list it) so chances are I won't see it; maybe I'll do a good search around for it when I'm bored but if anyone else can help with it, that'd be much appreciated. D4g0thur (talk) 12:35, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Per our criteria for inclusion, what we need are three uses in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year. Good news: Citations:masculism already has two uses from 1994. We just need a third at least a year separated. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 19:44, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

RFV discussion: July–August 2015
RFV-sense "Advocacy of the rights or needs of men." This sense (variously worded) has failed RFV before, but the last RFV was two years ago, and the citations page already has two citations of the sense, and the topic of masculism is oft-discussed, so it seems reasonable to have a new inquiry into whether or not a third citation has come into existence. (But feel free to remove the sense pending a successful outcome of this RFV.) The wording of the sense is open to improvement; see Talk:masculism, where the wording "a doctrine or movement advocating equal rights for men in areas of perceived inequality" is proposed. PS I wonder if Meninism/meninism is citable, and given the apparent allusion to Leninism, I wonder if it was originally coined as a joke or pejorative. - -sche (discuss) 18:47, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Most of what I find is references to the use of the term within the Men's Rights movement, such as [this] -- but Google books doesn't have any sources of that literature, which I suspect is mostly on blogs and such. I did find [this], [this], [this], [this], and possibly [this]. In addition, the [OED] includes that definition, and references a quote in the Sydney Bulletin. Kiwima (talk) 00:29, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

 * @Sche - Meninism was created by simply grafting "men" onto feminism. Which, obviously, doesn't make sense from an etymological standpoint. I believe it was originally coined by an MRA to describe the men's rights movement/philosophy, but it got picked up by feminist bloggers, who used it in a joking way to highlight how out-of-touch they see MRAs as being. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 01:54, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Based on the two citations in the entry and the 1927 citation on the Citations page, is this cited? I can't make heads or tails of the Hoogensen citation, btw. - -sche (discuss) 07:32, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I think the two citations in the entry and the 1927 citation on the Citations page are adequate. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 08:49, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

 * RFV-passed, just barely. The 1927 citation has a somewhat different tone from the later citations which are under the same sense, and seems to bleed into the second sense's territory ("anti-feminism"). - -sche (discuss) 21:02, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

masculism / feminism
Why is there such disparity between the coordinate terms 'masculism' and 'feminism'?

If 'masculism' has a definition of "sexism in favor of men", why doesn't 'feminism' have a definition of "sexism in favor of women"?

Etymology
Supposedly, this word originates with a dispute at the Collège de France circa 1550, over whether to use a traditional French pronunciation of Latin or a reconstructed pronunciation of Latin. One of the points of most dispute was the pronunciation of qu, with the word quamquam exemplifying this: it was pronounced in reconstructed Latin as but pronounced in French Latin as  ("cancan"). After this debacle, a "cancan" came to be "any kind of scandalous performance".

Pronunciations
Previously uploaded pronunciations included pee-seez and pai-siz. Are these correct? And could we categorize these by regional use? DAVilla 20:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

The spelling Sounds like "pie-seas", and is the pronunciation I normally hear. (Notice the ɪ, which represents a "short" i sound). The one that I deleted would be pronounced pey-ey-sey-eyz, which isn't even remotely correct. I see you've added, which would sound like "piss-ease". --EncycloPetey 21:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I felt the same way a while ago. The thing is, it's easy to spot vandalism when people are running amok, and not so easy when it's just a shaky contribution. And for the more serious of the hormone-laden, it's better that they "run amok", in my opinion, if that means adding content to the dictionary, which is less common because of the effort required.

 * It would appear that the consensus is semi-protection, at least temporarily.

 * I think it would be very good to move certain kinds of pages to a subdirectory, since the current scheme will block schools from using the category listed by contents (banned words will block access at filtered sites). --EncycloPetey 23:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Is there a definition somewhere of what "semi-protection" actually means ? It might be explained in the link to Beer parlour, only Beer Parlour no longer contains that topic. Would be nice to have it somewhere permanent, not in the BeerParlour swamphole.--Richardb 17:01, 14 May 2007 (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 Sharoby. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sharoby~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 00:11, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

User talk:Gray Porpoise~enwiktionary

English -> Latin translation requested
I would like to join Latin Wikipedia. Unfortunately, though I have a vague understanding of Latin text when looking at it, I can't speak it on my own. Please translate my English username, Gray Porpoise, into Latin. --Gray Porpoise 23:29, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

 * For classical Latin, I'd use Delphinus Glaucus (delphinus meaning "dolphin"). Using Later Latin, perhaps Phocoena Glauca (Phocoena is the genus name for porpoises).  Note that the former is masculine, and the latter is feminine (derived from the Greek), if that matters to you. --EncycloPetey 23:50, 13 October 2006 (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.

To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gray Porpoise~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.
