Talk:proof

Looks like this user is copying articles wholesale from somewhere like Webster's. I hope they are not copyright violations. — Paul G 10:58, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Request for verification
Rfv-sense: colloquial: to complete a mathematical proof. Could be, but not in MW3 or OneLook mathematical glossaries. DCDuring TALK 15:15, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been through a program of graduate study in math and have never heard this AFAIR. Nor do the three BYU English corpora yield anything with this sense for . (They do, however, yield a yeast-related verb sense whose meaning I don't know and which we lack.) However,  and  have a number of relevant hits: they seem, I suspect, to be mistakes for "prove" and, since they're in academic writing, are IMO unlikely to be "colloquial" as our sense is tagged. — msh210 ℠ 17:22, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Chambers has a sense "to test". This seems to fit with the "mathematical" sense "A process for testing the accuracy of an operation performed." Pingku 03:14, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * A possible citation:
 * 2000, K. U. Kainer, Magnesium alloys and their applications,
 * For the ternary system Al-Mg-Sc extensive experimental work was investigated to proof the calculation [2].
 * Noting that scientific verification cannot prove a calculation. Pingku 09:28, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

 * The "test" sense and the possibly related but distinct baking sense are in other dictionaries. It would be nice to word our "test" sense to incorporate the calculation/prediction verification sense without directly contradicting scientific and mathematical method. DCDuring TALK 10:44, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Chambers has a sense "cause or allow (dough) to rise", under "prove". No suggestion.
 * I agree with Msh that the google books/scholar hits as above are mistakes. Perhaps the definition under review should (if kept) be marked as a misconstruction of prove?
 * I suspect the "test" sense is related more closely to -proof: - in essence, to attempt to render something impervious to argument.
 * This leads to an attempt at a definition: "To render an argument or perform a test or series of tests to be presented as an argument that a proposition is true or that a product or process is or behaves as expected."
 * I think the tag "mathematical" should be removed from the noun sense "process for testing the accuracy of an operation".
 * Pingku 16:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Now we're getting somewhere. All we've got to do now is fix the dated Webstery wordy noun definitions. DCDuring TALK 16:33, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that that Kainer quote is in the sense of "proofread". — msh210 ℠ 18:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * In what sense would proofreading need "experimental work"? Pingku 19:33, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Meaning, experiment to determine if the calculation is correct. I guess "proofread" and "test" overlap a bit. — msh210 ℠ 19:42, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I overlooked the significance of the word "investigated". Maybe we shouldn't consider that citation as evidence, then. Pingku 19:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear, if the authors had been repeating experiments done by others, this would count as doing science (and as testing the calculation) - by helping establish that the experiments are replicable. It's not certain from the citation that they did this, or indeed what exactly they did: as you point out, there is a grey area between "proofreading" and "testing", and it is not clear where in that grey spectrum the action they performed actually lies.
 * It is altogether possible that my supposition above that the "test" sense derives from "proofing against argument" is inaccurate; maybe (as you perhaps imply) it derives from proofreading - i.e., checking something for errors. Unfortunately the dictionaries I know don't go into this sort of detail. ;) So we come back to needing citations... Pingku 17:40, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure the quote above would count as evidence of good English usage. What does it mean to "investigate extensive empirical work"? Does he mean "conduct extensive empirical work" (of his own) or "review a lot of empirical work" (of others)? If either of those, the wording indicates probable non-native to me. (Sometimes this happens with native-born technical and scholarly writers.) Is there another reading that would make this good English? DCDuring TALK 19:29, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

bitch
Archaic meanings are fine, but was this really synonymous with bitch at some point in the distant past? Citations please. This is pretty hard to accept as valid otherwise. -- [ Connel MacKenzie] 02:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

I was supprised to learn it as well. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=slut&searchmode=none provides a note on the matter; I can't remember where I first read it. The word was used when bitch was found to be more offensive. Citizen Premier 02:39, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is a real [archaic] sense of the word; even if it does not make much sense to us now. I provided a quote from Susanna Moodie's Roughing it in the Bush (1852); I can provide more if necessary. Beobach972 15:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Is "slutr" really Norwegian?
In the etymology for the English word, is "slutr" really modern Norwegian? To me it looks lika a typically Old Norse word with the "r" at the end. 83.249.211.78 14:36, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It’s Norwegian dialect, from Proto-Germanic *slautjan-. Related to Danish da:w:slud. —Stephen 08:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

 * You missed the IP's point. Modern Norwegian words do not end in consonant + -r (unless the r is part of the stem, as in Nynorsk vinter and sommar or sumar, but note that there is an epenthetic vowel in all cases). Therefore, slutr looks like an Old Norse word. Especially since you affirm that the Danish cognate does not have an r, it seems that it is a case ending and not part of the stem. On the other hand, Pfeifer's Etymological Dictionary of German (under Schloße) does quote the dialectal Modern Norwegian word as slutr, too. Odd. Perhaps some modern Norwegian dialects simply do not have epenthetic vowels in such cases. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 19:31, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Swedish verb
The imperative form "slut" is only correct for one of the two Swedish verbs "sluta". Is there a way to link to the correct form? Wakuran 11:59, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

senses
Out of the eight senses of the noun slut in English described it seems all of them except the very last are very similar. I suggest two things to do,the first being to condense the first seven into fewer, but broader explanations. The second is to mark the difference in relation of the desciptions to eachother somehow someway.

If the case permits it it might also be prudent to boil all the seven first points into one or to remove the eight entirely, depending on the case/facts (etc).

 * Very similar? No! None of the senses are very similar. Perhaps the most similar are "promiscuous woman" and "prostitute", but even those are clearly distinct. - -sche (discuss) 22:31, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * 1st and 2nd could be merged. The others are quite different. — Ungoliant (Falai) 23:35, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Middle English
The etymology section for English links to a non-existent Middle English section in which the term meant "mud". It is from that which the Late Middle English slutte is referenced as having derived from. Can we add that? Etym (talk) 03:37, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Photo in this entry
I do not believe the photograph promoting the far-left "SlutWalk" campaign is necessary or appropriate. This is supposed to be a dictionary, not a Wikipedia encyclopedia article. -- special:contribs/2605:e000:2748:6f00:55fe:db60:508c:387c 13:20, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

 * In, removed the image. I don't think including an inset figure makes Wiktionary into an encyclopedia -- plenty of other dictionaries do the same for various of their entries -- and I don't see what the politics of those depicted has to do with it. The fact the event is called a 'SlutWalk' goes to show that it is indeed a relevant image when discussing contemporary usage of the term. Arlo Barnes (talk) 19:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

 * That type of image is against Wiktionary’s policy. An image should be an actual depiction of a term. This has been discussed before. ·~   dictátor · mundꟾ  20:34, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Got it. I have added such an image. Arlo Barnes (talk) 00:49, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

 * It would be better if you could mention which sense of ‘slut’ the image describes. Thanks. ·~   dictátor · mundꟾ  01:18, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Would if I knew, but even restricting to a comparison of senses 1 & 2, I've no clue which the button-maker might have intended. Arlo Barnes (talk) 01:59, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure how a button that just contains the text "I ♥ sluts" illustrates the concept "slut". I mean, you could do the same for, , or.
 * Maybe using a photo of specific people is not a good idea, since it's usually a derogatory term and personality rights could come into play both legally and morally. But if we're going to do so, using a photo of people who explicitly and proudly label themselves "sluts", as the entry had done previously, seems like the least objectionable route. We could alternatively use a drawing/painting, but even then "slut" is not the same as "scantily clad"; it refers to a pattern of behavior. I admit that the two could correlate though. 70.172.194.25 02:16, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Now that we've rolled out image previews in the search page, this discussion might attract some more attention. I think it would be best to be without an image of any kind. Thoughts? — Soap — 13:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Soap: AFAICT, image previews have been removed since you left your comment. Regardless, I'd be okay with removing the image, if nobody else objects. 70.172.194.25 05:30, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes they were removed rather quickly, but I got the impression that it was at least in part because they were poorly formatted, taking up too much space and leaving large gaps when there was no associated image.  I think  the function was designed for cross-wiki use, and Wiktionary is unlike Wikipedia in many ways.  I didnt bother to follow up to see if there were more discussions for or against the images in and of themselves, so if the formatting issues are solved, the question might arise again.  I would favor removing the image from this article, yes, as it doesnt illustrate the concept, and we could certainly do without an image that does. — Soap — 10:14, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Removed. 70.172.194.25 19:34, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:chocolate

Note that the first sense is the substance (as in "Do you like chocolate?", while the second sense is a small piece of confectionery (as in "a box of chocolates"). This wasn't made clear in the original definitions and so some translations of the second sense are incorrect.  I have verified some (these are in the translation table) while the rest have been moved to "Translations to be checked" until they can be verified. — Paul G 08:59, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I suggest that "late" is from Spanish "leche"(Milk).
Chocolate: lit "cacao milk"

 * That would be folk etymology. Neither cacao nor choco- were originally Spanish. Cacao milk, if there were such a thing at the time, would be "leche de cacao" in Spanish, not *cacaoleche. But in those days, milk was not available in Mexico, and Aztec chocolate was mixed with water. In any case, you can see the etymology at chocolate. See also cacao. —Stephen (Talk) 09:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

RFV discussion: July–November 2014
Rfv-sense: feminine form of. Chocolat is listed as an invariable adjective. Perhaps it's attested though. Even if attested, it could be considered a rare error (unless it isn't rare). It's similar to and  which are not supposed to have feminine forms or plural forms. Renard Migrant (talk) 09:25, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

RFV discussion: February–May 2016
"African-American, black". As an adjective, fine (I added a citation), but how can it be a noun? "He's a chocolate, not a white person"? I thought it might be uncountable (perhaps e.g. sex slang: "he wanted some chocolate", i.e. sex with a black person) but can't seem to find citations for that either.

 * I know that television shows aren't the citations we're looking for, but at one point in this Colbert Late Show bit, Stephen Colbert (the guy who invented the word truthiness), says at 1:25, "That top 1%, generally doesn't have a lot of chocolate in it", then it cuts to his black bandleader, with the implication of Colbert's quote being "There aren't a lot of really, really wealthy African-Americans," and with chocolate being used in a partitive noun sense rather than an adjective one. It was that clip from the Colbert Show, along with Ray Nagin's, that inspired me to create the definition.  Sorry for the slow response, I went to bed early and this is what I found when I got up.

 * How about: Mrs. Feinstein, ...she do like her some chocolate ;) Leasnam (talk) 17:54, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

 * "some of your sweet chocolates" is great for demonstrating this as a countable noun ("a black person"). "generally doesn't have a lot of chocolate in it" sounds like it might be a mass noun(?), perhaps to be defined as "blackness"(?). (Btw, we've tended to consider TV shows durably archived — at least in America and Britain, where they are archived; whereas, Somali shows wouldn't be — so Colbert is a fine citation as far as durability.) So perhaps we're dealing with two senses? That's not too surprising, since "chocolate" in reference to the food also has both an uncountable sense ("chocolate is popular") and countable sense ("ate some chocolates"). Incidentally, the definition seems overly America-centric; I would imagine that Idris Elba and other black people who are not African Americans are also considered "chocolate". - -sche (discuss) 19:52, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The mass noun sense looks cited. Renard Migrant (talk) 20:32, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, the "sexy chocolate" (not "chocolates") citations seem like they're the mass (uncountable) sense; compare how in reference to the food chocolate, "that was some good chocolate" and "dark chocolate is what that [on the table] is" are using the mass noun sense. I'm not sure which sense "my sexy chocolate" is using. I've trying to find more plural citations that would clearly attest the countable "a black person" sense. - -sche (discuss) 20:44, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

 * There were only two citations per sense, and for some it was unclear which of the two senses they supported. I've combined them. As combined, the sense is cited. - -sche (discuss) 04:09, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Harry Potter
Note that Wikipedia has an extensive list of translations of characters (both human and animal) at — Paul G 09:47, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC).

 * Also note that the page has been deleted, apparently without any attempt to transwiki. -- Visviva 18:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

What belongs here?
The problem with this is that it is so open-ended. There should be criteria that give guidelines about who does and does not belong in a dictionary. The simple "X is a character in novel Y by author Z" is not enough. One important criterion might be the migration of the charcter into other aspects of the language. The contributor should at least attempt some justification for why this character is being included. Eclecticology 20:39, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Another problem with this list is that it encourages the creation of encyclopaedia articles about people (and animals). Wiktionary is not an encyclopaedia.  Articles about names (i.e. about individual given names and family names) are fine, as are articles about character names that have become idioms (rumpelstiltskin is also an idiom, for example).  But articles about particular people and animals that have those names are not.  Several of the redlinks currently on this list do not belong as dictionary articles. Uncle G 02:28, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
 * So if Tidus hasn't become an idiom, but people are wondering about its pronunciation and etymology, they will have to go to Tidus to look up it? Kappa 17:38, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Excellent idea! Eclecticology 06:46, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC)
 * Eclecticology is has been too restrictive when it comes to video game characters. There are some that have been deleted, but really belong here.  There are some unjustly deleted video game character links.  Some of these characters are popular enough to be put back in on the list.  Tedius Zanarukando 03:04, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I don't see what purpose this serves for our project. The works listed are just random things people felt like adding (e.g. more popular anime than classical literature), so it's chaos, and anyhow only encourages people to create the red-linked pages which would then fail WT:RFD or WT:BRAND.

I can live with character lists from individual works of fiction (especially if containing dictionary information like pronunciation and etymology), but an indiscriminate laundry list of every character from every work ever created? No thank you. — Ungoliant (falai) 18:22, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

deleted and I highly doubt en.wiki would have any use with our list seeing how thorough their coverage of fictional characters is. -- Liliana • 19:54, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
