 * While b.g.c. lists almost 800 hits, they all seem to be mis-scannings of "afford" or "afford-able", etc., or hits for the acronym AFFOR, or Scottish legal texts. --Connel MacKenzie 18:00, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily Scottish, but very old texts. Is this in the OED? DAVilla 23:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Not in OED2+ with that meaning (they have one quote using it in the sense of before: "1399 Rich. Redeless IV. 72 They bente on a bonet, and bare a topte saile Affor the wynde ffresshely, to make a good ffare.") NB: If it were a Scots word, it wouldn't be in the OED. --Eng in ear 20:27, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Wonderful. I saw that quote in another book but couldn't find any source information whatsoever.
 * I've dug up what I could. There should be enough material for a translation of "before" (but which meaning?), and evidence towards the corruption of afford. The definitions that are there now I'm not sure about, but see the reference. Seems to be describing an English word, but is this Latin? DAVilla 19:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I assume you know that your 1904 cite is merely a phonetic transcription of a sloppy rendering of the chorus to the 1892 Harry Dacre song Daisy Bell, which from memory goes "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do!/I'm half crazy, all for the love of you./It won't be a stylish marriage: I can't afford a carriage/But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two. Without a fuller context, I can't be sure whether the version you cite represents English usage, or the usage of someone who is attempting to sing (or transcribe) a song in a language they don't understand. --Eng in ear 22:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Wasn't aware of that. Presumably "true" rather than "do" in this version, plus other differences. The author may be documenting the migration of those lyrics to India, and if she were using some sort of phonetic transcription then the quotation should be scrapped. Difficult to tell in a limited book view. DAVilla 21:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The only real sense cited is "before". Before is also the only context I know it in. If anyone can provide credible cites for any of the other meanings please put them in. I have ammended it as such and put the disputed meanings on the talk page. Andrew massyn 07:29, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Disputed meanings.
to affor
 * 1) To address to.
 * 2) To be addressed to.
 * 3) To be decreed by fate.

Disputed use as conjunction
affor I can find no citation for this usage meaning "rather than", or any sign of where this example came from. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 02:39, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Rather than.
 * I would die affor giving up my virtue.
 * Use WT:RFV instead of removing it. — Ungoliant (falai) 00:20, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry - I'm used to Wikipedia and Wikiquote, and assumed the protocol was the same here. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 23:44, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Only for obvious vandalism and nonsense. The community here is very small and people rarely pay attention to individual pages, that’s why we use centralised discussion pages such as WT:RFV, WT:RFD, WT:BP, etc.
 * If you have reason to suspect this sense doesn’t exist, add after the # and start a discussion at WT:RFV. — Ungoliant (falai) 23:50, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

RFV discussion: December 2014–July 2015
affor I can find no citation for this usage as a conjunction meaning "rather than". It's not in the OED, and the example sentence (also unsourced) is perfectly compatible with meaning given in the OED: a variant (Middle English) spelling of "afore" (= before). Gordonofcartoon (talk) 23:50, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Rather than.
 * I would die affor giving up my virtue.

 * Relatedly, some of the quotations for the verb sense of affor look to me like they are actually uses of the preposition meaning "before" (though I don't know enough Middle English to be sure about all of them). If someone familiar with Middle English and Early Modern English could sort those out, that would be wonderful. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 00:59, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, and not just some - nearly all of the verb citations match afore (before) rather than "afford". A look at Google Books also finds no hits for "afforring" except an obvious OCR error for "affording"; nor for "afforred" (similar errors for "afforded"); nor for "affors", which appears as various misreadings such as "affors'd" (i.e. "aforesaid"), OCR error for "actors", and similar. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 16:07, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, there is no such verb. Why has it been sitting there in our entry for seven years?  We need to delete this part of speech, but we can keep the cites as prepositions.  The OED has afore as a conjunction meaning "before", but marks it as "Now archaic and regional".  In my native dialect, "afore" is used to mean rather than where others might use "before" with the same meaning (see our entry: "rather or sooner than") at our entry for before (conjunction).  I've never seen it spelt affor, but the OED has one cite with this spelling (as a conjunction in 1470).    D b f  i  r  s   20:06, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

 * The verb and conjunction fail; I have kept the citations (which all actually used the preposition). - -sche (discuss) 02:57, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Seems to be a Vietnamese surname, but not this? --Connel MacKenzie 22:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I can confirm this meaning, (slang)good,cool. I was going to add it myself. Sorry, having problems creating account for contact. I will add my details when I achieve this.

 * RFV failed? --Connel MacKenzie 18:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Wow, this one was tough. I've removed the sense of "cool" since it appears to be a Usenet joke, and any instances of use on Usenet (which usually aren't too indicative of meaning by the way) would only count as a single independent source.
 * I've barely confirmed the drug, and I blame search engines for not allowing better cites. The Australian newspapers I've looked up don't allow boolean searches, and on Google books results can be narrowed down with extra search terms but then the quotations can't pulled without some effort, which due to the common use of Nang as a name makes the search futile.
 * The original RFV applied to the entire page. I've relisted red-head as RFV-sense, but I have no objections to its removal. DAVilla 01:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I searched for "nang poofters" "nang cunts" and "nang ozzies" and came up with nothing. If it is a derogatory adjective meaning red haired, I would have expected at least one citation supporting from the above searches. Failed the red haired sense. Andrew massyn 08:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

In Albanian ¿derived or just cognate of "filum"?
In the etymology of the Albanian entry in "fill" it is stated that it cames from Latin filum. Has this been checked somewhere? It is not impossible but seems to be improbable because Albanian does not come from Latin. It could be a borrowed word, though, but it seems more probable that "fill" and "filum" are just cognates. --Piolinfax 11:47, 20 January 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 Harmar. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Harmar~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 23:49, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:eisteddfod

Pronunciation?
Wikipedia does not have the same pronunciation. Which one is correct? zigzig20s 17:29, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Neither got it bang on. Corrected. Raifʻhār Doremítzwr† 18:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you. How do you pronounce the plural form, ‘eisteddfodau’? zigzig20s 18:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * By the way, in the ‘anglophone’ pronunciation, how can the first syllable be correct? I am not aware of ‘ʌ’ being followed by the ‘bit’ sound in IPA... Could it be so because it is basically a British version of a Welsh pronunciation (as it is a Welsh word)? zigzig20s 18:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I have created an entry for eisteddfodau, the pronunciation thereof is included therein. is how the COED (11th edition) represents the sound of I (as in the pronoun); it’s probably only pronounced like that in RP. Raifʻhār Doremítzwr† 18:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * That is odd. I would transcribe ‘I’ like this : /aɪ/ (by the way, this seems to agree with me : []). zigzig20s 18:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmm. Well I guess Wiktionary’s pronunciation of ‘I’ is not based on RP, whereäs the COED’s is. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 19:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Where did you find a phoneme transcribed like this : /ʌɪ/ ? You seem to say that it is the same phoneme as /aɪ/ but where does this come from? zigzig20s 20:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

cambriphone/anglophone
Shouldn’t the anglophone transcription come first? Also, my guess is that your cambriphone transcription is actually the Welsh pronunciation — I may be wrong, but this is what I can make out from your work — in which case that should come under another section, a Welsh section. zigzig20s 18:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I don’t think that it makes a difference whether the cambriphone or the anglophone pronunciation comes first, but if you want to swap them around, go ahead. The English section should include the cambriphone pronunciation, as that pronunciation is also used in English (cf.: voir dire). † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 19:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Anglicisation
I don't believe the Anglicised version of 'eisteddfod' should be included; it is merely a mis-pronunciation of the Welsh word. Should it be removed? Cdhaptomos 18:42, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Not if it is so pronounced by English speakers in running English speech. DCDuring TALK 22:30, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

 * So we should include every mis-pronunciation in Wiktionary entries now? Cdhaptomos 21:24, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Should we assume you pronounce every English word according to the language it was borrowed from or does this apply only to Welsh borrowings? — hippietrail 20:31, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

 * If it has been borrowed from another language, it should be pronounced as it is in that language. You don't see any French words (such as café and baguette) having separate pronunciations, do you? Many Welsh words are approximated (incorrectly) by native English speakers, such as this instance, and many place names. I shall go ahead and remove the incorrect pronunciation. Cdhaptomos 23:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, there’s the Welsh pronunciation and also the pronunciation using English phonemes that most closely approximates to that ( or ); there are then a number of pronunciations that are a corruption to varying degrees of the original Welsh. Cf. . †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 01:58, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:pussy

(informal; also pussy-cat) An affectionate term for a cat.

isnt pussy or pussycat specifically a female cat? lygophile

 * No, all housecats are pussycats. —Stephen 14:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

pussy
Bizarre nautical def. --Connel MacKenzie 16:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

 * It seems reasonable to me. Also, I found it used in this sense at http://www.corpun.com/kiss1.htm. —Stephen 12:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't this sense be the source of the term pussywhipped? -- Thisis0 18:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Um, no, I don't think so. The "vagina" meaning of "pussy" is the component of the compound term.  The obsolete meaning was still obsolete in the early 1990s (or very late 1980s) when "pussy whipped" came into use.  The nautical definition (if it existed) was obsolete almost a century before that.  The "corpun" link above [warning: pop-unders, other disreputable crap from that site - use google cache if you can find it],  mentions "pussy" with almost identical wording as the original disputed entry here, but its "sample logs" show no such use (and are of questionable transcription anyway.)  This sounds like a fanciful back-formation.  --Connel MacKenzie 20:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I should reword: Is it plausible that this sense influenced the term pussywhipped? (Which is attested from 1956, not "very late 1980s". What's your source for that tidbit? ) Slang terms frequently enter from nautical and wartime use.  Granted, it's only my imagination, but I see an excellent double-entendre when Navy boys would have started tossing around the term "pussywhipped", knowing the older nautical reference.  Again, only my imagination, but I thought it was interesting enough to look into.  I agree that this nautical sense lacks references anywhere on the net save Wikipedia -- at both Cat_o'_nine_tails and Glossary_of_nautical_terms (term: Reduced Cat).  They are unsourced, but it would be enlightening to find whatever source was used there. -- Thisis0 21:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I am the editor of corpun.com. I have removed from the above a claim that my site has pop-unders, which it does not, and never has had; and a claim that the transcriptions of official records on my site are questionable. The extracts in question were carefully transcribed by myself at the Public Records Office. You can go there and check them yourself -- that is why I always cite the file numbers. C.Farrell.

 * I've moved your comment out of the archive. Conrad.Irwin 18:18, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Is it possible that the "coward" meaning of pussy comes from pusillanimous? 21:44, 8 July 2009
 * Lots of things are possible – but where's the evidence? This claim is widespread on the web, but never substantiated; it just sounds like a convenient made-up excuse for sexism. See for a refutation. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 00:01, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Etymology
The number of languages using "p/h-" words for the vulgar sense seems disproportionately high. There is a PIE root for it: *pisd-eh₂- ("vulva") which produced R. пизда (and other Slavic reflexes), Alb. pidhi and possibly Lith. putė (?). Finnish has pillu, Hungarian punci, pina. Chinese has 屄 (bī < *pit) which is common Sino-Tibetan: Yi pi⁵⁵, Qiang (Yadu) pʰoʂ, Loloish *batᴸ. Georgian ფისო (p’iso) < Proto-North-Caucasian *pūṭi ~ būṭi (?). Tagalog puday, puke < Proto-Austronesian *palaq, bediq, betiq₂. Korean 보지 (poci). Hbrug 11:26, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This could be due a widespread type of nursery word that's something like /puci/ or /pici/. There are also variants in other labials like m- and w- ~ v-. Aren't there also words like /kuci/, /kut-/, /kun-/? (Stops can always be voiced.) I don't have an overview, but if there is a pattern there, baby talk is a more likely explanation. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 23:55, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Is the "coward" sense derived from pusillanimous? If so, can we put that under another etymology header? See also https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/100990/how-does-pussy-come-to-mean-coward KevinUp (talk) 02:52, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * No, and if you actually read the link you posted, you'd see that the OED considers the semantic evolution to have been cat > endearing name for a girl > effeminate man, so it belongs under the same etymology (although a prose explanation should be inserted). —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:04, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The previous definition "A coward; a weakling" has been modified to "A weak, cowardly, or effeminate man". Additional quotes have also been added, one of which mentions "pusillanimous". KevinUp (talk) 09:31, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:heresy

Tillich uses the definition- one who questions, as in the Apostle Thomas. At this time when old religious ideas are ineffectual, recent discoveries unsettling, isn't it time to ask if what has been passed down as true, is such? The solution to the current messiness is not a fight to see who can be most intimidating, but an idea that makes everything fall into place. Everything that is is reasonable, we just need to find the correct one, this means questioning until one comes across that that cannot be questioned.

Aren't the roots of this word in latin? There's nothing about it, and nothing about latin meaning of this word! I don't have proper sources, but I hope someone does.

The word "heresy" comes from the Greek αἵρεσις, hairesis (from αἱρέομαι, haireomai, "choose"), which means either a choice of belief.

Talk:mutation

Genetics definition
The definition "a change in the sequence of DNA within a chromosome that results in a new trait not found in the parent type" is not correct.
 * Some mutations have phenotypic consequences, others do not. "...that results in a new trait not found in the parent type" should be removed.
 * Mutable genetic material does not exist only in chromosomes. To include the genome of RNA viruses and extrachromosomal material like plasmids, "within a chromosome" should also be removed.

That doesn't leave much behind. I changed it to "any heritable change in the base-pair sequence of genetic material, namely DNA (or RNA in the case of some viruses)". Dr d12 18:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Definition of "Genetic Material"
I have removed infomation about what genetic matterial is and enabled access to infomation on what genetic material is by linking to the definition of genetic material (87.80.103.44 16:31, 28 January 2010 (UTC))

Replacing one 2-letter word with another, "of"
Its one small change but I hope the result of the change is a great reduction of the quantity of ambiguity in the genetics definition. (87.80.103.44 16:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC))

Talk:gene

Gene (n) definition
Current: "(genetics) An entity passed down from parents to offspring in reproduction that encodes information essential for the construction and regulation of proteins (such as enzymes) and other molecules that determine the growth and functioning of the organism."

The original definition: "a unit of heredity", although not as long as the current expansion, is correct.
 * A gene does not convert information into code, so it should not be described as encoding information. The gene is the information.
 * It isn't more descriptive to replace unit with "entity" (something that exists as a unit).
 * Since gene is singular, "from parent to offspring" would be better.
 * Do "from parent to offspring" and "reproduction" include replication of viral genes?
 * Doesn't "and other molecules" mean RNA?

How about: A unit of heredity; a segment of DNA or RNA that is transmitted from one generation to the next, and that carries genetic information such as the sequence of amino acids for a protein. Dr d12 19:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Source for Spanish section?
What is the source for the Spanish section? The DRAE does not have the word gene, it says that gene in Spanish is gen. The wikipedia article in Spanish on genes also only has the word gen and not gene. Can anyone confirm?

Talk:the thing of it is

Thanks for the cites. My thinking is that they should go under the thing of it. I'm interested here in people saying "the thing of it is" for "the thing of it", as "The thing of it is, is we should be careful." This sort of thing is not generally considered good style, but it occurs all the time in speech and a fair bit in casual writing (and so should be labeled as such).

I think I'll move this article, and add the thing of it is pointing to it. -dmh 20:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Experience
Au contraire! I'm very inexperienced at Wiktionary, but am very familiar with Wikipedia! I've read the how-to guide, and it is far simpler to create a "complete" page in Wiktionary than in Wikipedia. I'll try to put these settings on. --Merope 23:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't have a clue how to set my edits as patrolled though, it isn't in any of the tabs in my Special:Preferences;(. Maybe it is only admins who can do that. Are you admin? --Merope 23:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your welcome, EncycloPetey. Just like Merope I don't have a clue how to set my edits as patrolled. :S Curious 00:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Capitalization
Thanks for categorizing Capitalization for me. I was just about to post in the Beer parlour about that. Speaking of which, don't you think the policy category hierarchy is just a bit Byzantine? Currently it seems to reflect the needs of policy makers more than policy users (i.e., editors trying to find out what the policies and guidelines are about particular aspects of entry writing) — which makes sense historically, perhaps, considering the massive effort to develop/revamp Wiktionary policies, but it makes the categories less useful to everyday users. - dcljr 18:31, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I expect the problem has been that bits of policy were created independently as the need arose, and the categorization was added by policy makers trying to keep track of it all. --EncycloPetey 21:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

flatus
your message:

No, it's not a fart. RTFA on Wikipedia. --EncycloPetey 02:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

reply:

 * I re-read the WP article. WP:Flatus redirects to WP:Flatulence.  According to the article Flatulence is gas under pressure and used (inaccurately) as a euphemism for a fart.  Flatus is a release of pressure.  So a fart would be flatus but so would a belch.

 * http://www.merck.com/mrkshared/mmanual/section3/chapter32/32b.jsp has a sentence "Gas is eliminated by belching, diffusion from the lumen into the blood with ultimate excretion by the lungs, bacterial catabolism, and passage through the anus (flatus, farting)." (Their bold). This could be read as saying flatus is a fart and belching is soemthing else.  (Note: that is merck.com, publishers of The Merck Manuals, which I respect though I'm not quite willing to call their web site authoritative, the printed book might be).

 * Would it be accurate to label the current definition as being (medical) ?

 * Would a second sense, possibly labelled (euphemism) or (slang), saying a fart be warranted? Should it include belch in that definition? RJFJR 13:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Word of the day/Archive/2006/November
Thank you for adding these. However, please note (if you do it for December) that you should click the redlink of each day separately. If they are included only on the archive page, they are not linked, nor valid, for the actual WOTD part that appears on the Main Page.

--Connel MacKenzie 18:55, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, I know. It's just easier for me to create the entire Archive page for a month off-line and upload it all at once, then copy-and-paste each separate day into the Recycled pages afterwards. --EncycloPetey 19:55, 11 October 2006 (UTC) (Sorry to reply here rather than on your talk page, but I can't upload your talk page from the connection I'm using right now.)
 * I'm actually quite surprised to hear this. Currently, your talk page is about 42KB, while mine is ~59KB.  That doesn't seem like a huge difference.  But if it is more conveneient here, no harm.  --Connel MacKenzie 20:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Length isn't the issue. Rather, I'm accessing from work and the local filters screen out certain pages for unforseeable reasons.  For instance, I had to request the filters be adjusted in order to access Shakespeare's works on WikiSource. --EncycloPetey 22:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Also Please note that the protection for each page should block unregistered users from editing, and allow only sysops to move the page. Otherwise we run higher risk of WOTD vandalism. --EncycloPetey 19:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * That makes sense. I couldn't remember if they were supposed to be semi-protected for moves or not.  I don't think we've passed the one-year boundary yet, so I'm still a little unclear on how it will all work out.  It would be awful to have to unprotect all 365, so that a bot could move them to the "right" place when the time comes.  --Connel MacKenzie 20:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Why would a bot have to move anything? In any case, we only have to deal with a month or two at a time, and all the material gets archived at the same time the entries go up. --EncycloPetey 20:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Good points. I wonder though, if the page is moved, the Main Page will still be able to reach it, right?  Multiple moves are a risk, but I guess I underestimated that risk.  Good catch.  And thanks for doing November!  --Connel MacKenzie 20:10, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, I've done most months since March (though Vildricianus did August, IIRC). I try to pull first from the nominations to be fair to the community, then flesh out the rest of the month with variety in POS, initial letter, and subject area. --EncycloPetey 20:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder. I see I've got my work cut out for me in the next few days with two more months' worth. They're now on my list. Dvortygirl 00:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Well then, thank you. And since I haven't said it before, Thank You.  And thank you for entering December from the 31st, backwards (CORRECTLY!  HORRAY!)  Um, and thank you.  Any ideas on how to proceed with January/February 2007?  --Connel MacKenzie 21:10, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Not sure what you mean. For timing, I usually wait until the middle of the previous month to finalize the new month of WOTD (since this is mid-Oct I set up Nov).  That way, I have an opportunity to use more recent nominations.  A quicker turn-around on WOTD nominations looks better and generates a more positive response from people who went to the trouble to make good nominations. For technical issues, I'm less certain what might be involved.  But the way I've been editing shouldn't change as far as I can see.  I create the month archive page first because it can be done is one fell swoop.  Then I can edit the recycled pages individually copying from the archive list. Do you forsee something I don't? --EncycloPetey 21:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes. As far as I knew, we were going to retain the 2006 archives of WOTDs intact somewhere, and allow them to be "recycled" entries (in the event you fall a couple months behind again, and/or someone else takes over again and misses a few.)  In short, I'm unclear on how we want the 2006 entries to be recycled.  I'm also unclear on what the desired method for inserting the 2007 WOTDs is.  --Connel MacKenzie 19:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Did you notice how I reverted the November 2006 Archive page (and understand why)? I'm still having unpredictable filter problmes with the current locatiopn from which I edit, but that should be fixed within the next couple of weeks.  As I understood it from Vildricianus, the Recycled Pages would be cleared periodically (or edited for new words).  The Archive would retain its own copies of the WOTD entries.  I don't forsee falling behind again -- the one time last summer was close, but Vildricanianus stepped in to fill in for a month, and as it happens had done so 24 hours before I had returned with a prepared month of new entries!  We just need a person or two on standby to watch, and if we get to the middle of a month without having the following month ready, they should step in.  There are certainly plenty of decent possible choices piling up in the nominations page to make selection easier, and I'll see soon about uploading my own file of WOTD candidates.  --EncycloPetey 20:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 * No, I do not follow why you did that. Which page is supposed to be which?  If that isn't it, how is it supposed to work?  (No, I haven't rolled back your change yet.)  Why, if you were going to do that, didn't you just subst: them?  --Connel MacKenzie 23:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I really wish Vildricianus were here to weigh in on this. I think it would help cut through the crossed-communication we seem to be having.  As I understood from Vildricianus when he sent this up, the Recycled pages should display the daily WOTD pages.  As you know, each Date of the year (e.g. 3 Nov) has a Recycled Page that will display wherever the appropriate linking text appears, as in each of the 12 Recycled Master pages for each month (e.g. Wiktionary:Word_of_the_day/Recycled_pages/November).  In addition to these recycled page collections is the static Archive of previous WOTD entries, collected by month (e.g. Wiktionary:Word_of_the_day/Archive/2006/November), with one page for each month that WOTD has been running.  These accumulate, of course, as WOTD runs for longer.  Now, I don't mean for all this to sound pedantic (pedant is my occupation, so sounding like this is an occupational hazard), but just want to make sure we both understand all of this the same way to this point.  Was there anything I said that wasn't already clearly obvious to you?
 * My understanding is that the Recycled Page for each Date gets replaced a year later with new content for the new WOTD. When that happens, the monthly Recycled Master page will show the new content.  By contrast, the static Archive pages should preserve the WOTD entries for the specific month (e.g. June 2006) for the date of the Archive page.  If the Archive page uses links to the Recycled Pages, then that won't happen; the change to the Recycled pages will alter the Archive as well.  So, the content of each WOTD selection should be entered as static content on the appropriate Archive Page itself.
 * As for your question about subst:, I can't say that I understand it at all. I really don't know how subst: works or what it's supposed to do.  I do know that there are about four templates that require subst: to work, and that knowledgable users have warned against using subst: for any other template, and to not use it when in doubt.  Is there someplace that explains the use of subst:, and lays out which items on Wiktionary should use it, when to use it, and how? --EncycloPetey 00:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, I think I follow the layout now. The timing of when things happen still has me a little confused, BUT you seem to be doing it quite correctly.  Let me back up a second.

 * The "subst:" magic keyword takes whatever would be replaced when the page is displayed, and inserts it in-line, directly into the article. So, if the template has tricky conditional stuff, the conditions will be satisfied and only the corresponding stuff will be "subst:"ed.  It gets ugly and nasty when you have cascading templates (like all of our inflection templates) which is why the majority of en.wiktionary.org templates must not be subst'ed.

 * The "Vild" trick was to use the page substitution properties outside of the Template: namespace. (I'm not sure if that is officially a bug he is exploiting, or just a throwback to the development process of MediaWiki.)

 * Anyway, my understanding/confusion of it all, was that I thought each month was supposed to have the "template-ish" forms until the end of that month. So if any changes were made to the individual pages during the month in question, the archive page would accurately reflect them.  It seemed obvious to me, that the way to do that is using 30 or 31 "subst:" directives on that page.  (I cheat by cutting and pasting to another editor and replacing all  {{  with  {{subst:  then save it, and voila...the archive is complete.  The secondary advantage of waiting to subst: it, is so that people don't edit the archive, when they intend to edit (for example) tomorrow's actual page.

 * Sorry to sound like a broken record, but could you please explain to me how it will look in January/February. I really don't want to step on your toes again.  --Connel MacKenzie 06:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Format of entries
Thanks for your work in the Greek entries. We haven't had anyone working seriously on those for a while. That said, it would be a good idea to review standard entry layout. In particular, certain sections (such as etymology) are always placed before the definitions, while others are placed after the definitions. Also, we make a distinction between Derived terms (words in the same language as the entry) and Derivatives (which are in another langhuage from the entry). Take a look at the formatting I did for your edits on ἄγγελος and εὖ for examples. And thanks again for your work! --EncycloPetey 22:45, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for cleaning up after me. I am afraid I tried to go from memory regarding WT:ELE.  I will go through my  recent contributions to see if I made the same error elsewhere.    Thanks in particular for explaining the project's distinction between derivatives and derivations, as derivations don't seem to have made it into the layout guide yet. Are they the same as descendants?  --Hroðulf 09:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Depends on what you mean by derivations. As far as my own practice, all same language relations go under Related terms, unless there's compelling reason to have a separate section for Derived terms. When the words are offshoots in another language, use Descendants. --EncycloPetey 01:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

 * "Fat Broad" is more like to metaphoric usage. And yes, the first page of books.google.com hits I see have indirect and metaphoric uses all over the place.     But then, I'm sure I could find a lot more, if I tried.  Like, went on to the second page.  Or checked any of the 904,000 hits.  Honestly, I can't imagine more than a hundred of those hits being "muppets" fan sites.  All the rest are probably really good metaphoric comparisons or insults.  Are you suggesting that that isn't linguistically relevant?  --Connel MacKenzie 20:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

 * It's certainly relevant to Western culture. I was merely raising a question of whether the term was in general use. If you can find citations to support attributive use, go right ahead and re-create an article with a suitable definition or two. --EncycloPetey 01:35, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

 * "not more than a hundred being Muppets fan sites"? Really? I'm surprised that there aren't more than 904,000. "Kermit the Frog" gets 694,000 for the exact phrase, "Muppet +fan +site" gets 1.26 million, and "Muppet" 5.86 million pages .... Robert Ullmann 01:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

number
Hi, thank you for correcting the pronunciation of number. In my previous edit, I just tried to get the SAMPA consistent to the IPA. Then, mapping the SAMPA back to the IPA, does it need to be altered to /ˈnʌmbɝ/? TIA. --Tohru 23:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Being nosey...
I would like to apologize in advance for a question undoubtedly nosey and perhaps a little too personal in nature. If you have any inclination towards not answering it, I am truly sorry for overstepping! I noticed on your Wikipedia profile that you live in Berkeley; are you connected to the university in some way? Medellia 22:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I was thrilled to see someone connected to Cal; I've suggested Wiktionary to many of my linguist friends, and they all seem to scoff at it. Classicists by and large fear or think poorly of technology. Thank you for indulging me. Medellia 23:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

pink
Please do not revert my reversion of pink. The Spanish word that you re-added, rosa, was already there, but properly linked and alphabetized, unlike your addition. —Stephen 23:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, my mistake. I had confused your edit in the noun section with what was happening in the adjective section.  I had intended to restore rosa to the Adjective translations, on the mistaken impression that you had removed it. --EncycloPetey 23:06, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Sounds
Regarding "side", it's in the acoustics category from an earlier edit that seems to have been removed, why I don't know. Page back through the history far enough and you'll find this: affecting acoustics and allowing control thereof with tuning. Thanks for the heads up on the category. I'll add stuff as I find it. --Dvortygirl 05:06, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) The thin circle of material attatched to the underside of a drum shell,

listen
On the listen entry, you modified the etymology to say:

 * hlysnan through

which produces:

 * hlysnan through

Because "Anglo-Saxon" is a synonym of "Old English". This is why the ISO code for Old English is ang. --EncycloPetey 22:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh! I guess I have been wrong all my life. I always thought Anglo-Saxon was Anglish and Saxon and Old English was Anglish, Saxon, Jutish and Norman. Change it back if you like. I have no objections. Andrew massyn 20:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Urdu
Thanks! I'd be happy to do that. Basawala 03:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Wiktionary Policy &c.
I thought I'd ask your opinion of this in light of all the work you've done with Latin before opening it up to the community (I'm a little wary of originating this discussion in the Beer Parlour due mostly to the fact that there are various subjects addressed there that are pressing to the community as a whole, and it thus seems that minor language issues have a tendency to be somewhat disregarded.): because of its polytonic accentuation, Ancient Greek requires more different templates than Latin. For nouns, it's a fairly simple process (given that each noun basically has a maximum of ten forms); with verbs, conversely, this is extremely problematic. I had constructed off site a verb conjugation template similar to that of Latin. The result, however, was that for a semi-complete synopsis, the template required an upwards of 12 different forms for verbs with all six principal parts. This is not only tedious, but very user-unfriendly for those who are not as versed in polytonic Greek.

What I'm trying to get to is this: do you think it would be preferable to have say a different template for each principal part that produced the morphology stemming from that part alone, which would all for easier template creation, or rather to continue onwards with one large morphology template? Is it bad etiquette to start a policy page without bringing the issue up in some sort of discussion room first? Would it be unreasonable to start establishing Ancient Greek policy, given that there are so few users with knowledge of it? (My apologies for the vagueness of the questions and bothering you with it in the first place. I would really appreciate any insight or guidance.) Medellia 07:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Greek template
Nice job starting the Greek adjective template. Three questions (since I don't know much about modern Greek). (1) Is there no dative case in modern Greek? (2) Why the non-standard order of cases? (3) ave you considered combining the top two rows like this:

--EncycloPetey 15:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * There is no Dative in modern Greek (except a few cases of archaic expression - I think)
 * The case order comes from the definitive Greek Grammar (Holton et al pub 1997) but even the Greek govt text on New Greek puts Vocative last - perhaps because some declined parts of speech have no Vocative.
 * I didn't consider the column heads your suggest - although I think the casual user may not interpret them immediately.
 * I thought of consulting wider before revamping these templates - the layouts seem many & various! Guidelines would help?  Saltmarsh 15:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

xocolatl vs chocolatl
1) An I correct to assume that the chocolate etymology section should identify the origin of the word as Classic Nahuatl?
 * You could, but it's not strictly necessary. Dictionaries often write "from Greek" when they mean "from Ancient Greek".

(2) Is the etymology from xocolatl correct, or should it be chocolatl?
 * There's some debate as to its etymology.
 * The word as actually attested in Nahuatl is chocolatl. Xocolatl is not actually attested, but is theorized based on the assumption that chocolatl is related to xococ "bitter", which it may not be (x > ch is a somewhat irregular development, but not unheard of). However, there's a problem in that chocolatl isn't attested (AFAIK) in Nahuatl until the mid 18th century -- over a century after it's attested in English! This may indicate that the Nahuatl word is a loan, and the Spaniards got the word from a different Mexican language.

(3) Does chocolatl have a different meaning (such as processed chocolate) that isn't apparent in my little dictionary?
 * My dictionary just glosses it as "chocolate".

(4) What is the plural of chocolatl or xocolatl? My little dictionary has a grammar section showing how to form the plurals, but it only tells how to form the plural of words ending in -tl if the noun refers to a masculine or animate thing.
 * Inanimate nouns don't have plurals in Nahuatl. They're all like our "sheep" and "fish". --Ptcamn 01:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Er, like our mass nouns, rather. "Sheep" and "fish" get plural agreement in English ("The sheep are.."), but Nahuatl inanimate nouns get singular agreement. --Ptcamn 01:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Interlingua assistance
Hi, I added the Interlingua to Units of Time. It was a snap, as the Italian was right below it, and in theory, Italian is a dialect of Interlingua. Just let me know if I can be of further help to you. I'm a little swamped at the moment, but something like this only takes a minute and I don't mind at all. – Matt 03:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for providing that link. It looks like it's been protected, though. I see this message when I click edit: "Note: This page has been locked so that only registered users can edit it. See the protection log." In the log, Connel writes something about massively linked pages. – Matt 00:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. – Matt 01:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Sampa
Yeah, I started to make changes and then realized that maybe I should build a consensus first. Sorry about that. Is there a manual of style talk page or somewhere in which I can bring the discussion about? I believe that most browsers will display IPA unicode if the template is used. This way, visiters to the page won't have to learn another pronunciation guide. Æµ§œš¹ IPA: [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 03:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * When I have some time (probably next week or so), I'll create verb conjugation templates for Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian. Then I can fix those pages up a little more.  --Dijan 22:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Special characters
Hi there,

Connel and I have added the special characters you were asking for a few days ago.

The characters with ogoneks are under the Latin/Roman menu option, and there is a new menu option for Latvian/Lithuanian that appears between "Italian" and "Maltese".

Have fun :) — Paul G 17:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hebrew for listen.
Yeah, I noticed. and are almost completely synonymous; the second is a bit more formal, and has a slight connotation of listening to speech specifically rather than to sound generally, but the two are fairly interchangeable. Ruakh 17:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Redirects on Wiktionary
Hello. on my talk page I believe you referred to -busch, which you've deleted. You noted that redirects are not encouraged on Wiktionary owing to the possibility that the originating term might be available in another language. Does that really hold for suffixes such as '-busch'? Also, rather than deleting the item, I would have thought that the best course would be to create an entry for it and split out the information I'd added to Busch, providing 'see also' or 'related term' x-references between the two entries. --Ceyockey 04:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd expect the suffix "-busch" to show up in most Germanic languages. Anyhow, yes, deletion of the redirects is preferred to dropping everything and immediately creating the entry that someone mistakenly entered as a redirect.  Letting them know (via talk page) is instead, something that may prevent the "bad" redirects from being re-entered as redirects.  Deletion in general is preferred, so that the preload templates can be used when creating the "real" entry.  --Connel MacKenzie 06:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

mandrolic
Hello, Could you please let me know why you deleted my entry for "mandrolic" ? -- Delmatto

 * Probably because it is not a word in the English language. Although maybe he deleted it because he was faster than I was.  For made-up terms, sometimes they are moved to the list of made up terms here.  You certainly can add it there.  --Connel MacKenzie 17:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Bunyip. Cryptozoology.
My reason for removing the cryptozoology tag was that unlike some of the others, there is no serious attempt to go looking for a bunyip. I'm not an Aborigine so I can't speak on their behalf, but my understanding is that they themselves consider it only as a mythical creature. --Dmol 23:52, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

reliefs
This is from "Grove Art Online" article on relief.

Alto rilievo, or high relief, is used when the scale of projection (the dimension of depth) is half or more than half the other dimensions, and there may be substantial undercutting.

Basso relievo, low relief or bas-relief, is used when the scale of projection is very much less than that of the other dimensions and there is no undercutting at all.

They are not synonyms. SemperBlotto 08:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, the main problem is that there is a gradual transition from low relief to high relief. In the simple geometric case of a sphere gradually protruding from a plane, it would be low relief until exactly half of the sphere was outside the plane - as it comes further out there must be undercutting so it is high relief. But with real sculptures of humans it is more complicated - in even a low relief there would be undercutting of fingers for instance. So I would just use "see also" to link them rather thatn either synonym or antonym. The second problem is that in natural English, people tend to use "bas relief" to mean any relief. Whatever we do, someone will criticise! SemperBlotto 11:10, 30 December 2006 (UTC) (ps I have added the Italian terms altorilievo and bassorilievo in case anyone wants to add an Etymology and get the spelling right (I have seem "relievo" even in Grove).

A (another?) question about WOTD
Looking at synecdoche, I can't tell when it was WOTD. It already was, right?

Did we ever get a thingamajig to put on entries (or their talk pages) to say "This was Wiktionary's WOTD on such-and-such date."? Is it in use? Should I ask this on WT:GP or WT:BP? --Connel MacKenzie 00:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

'abalone' not an Americanism?
Hello EncycloPetey. Your recent edit to abalone noted that it's not an Americanism. The Dictionary.com Unabridged states otherwise in its etymology: "[Origin: 1840–50, Americanism; taken as sing. of California Sp abulones, pl. of abulón, aulón < a word in Rumsen, a Costanoan language formerly spoken at Monterey, California]". What makes you think it's not? — {admin} Pathoschild 03:20, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Huh. A look around shows that this animal has a very different name in each English-speaking region where it is found. I didn't realize that.  However, I will maintain that calling the term an Americanism in the etymology section is not in line with current practice.  I will re-mark the word as an Americanism, but in-line at the start of the definition. The Wikipedia article implies that the term is also used in Australia. --EncycloPetey 05:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
