The Eastern Baltic cognates (unlike 🇨🇬) have an initial v, which suggests an intermediate Eastern Baltic form *weynos.

Talk:Egyptian pyramid

Various

 * 1) The IPA and American dictionary pronunciations give completely different guidance in how to pronounce these words.
 * 2) Most of the translations are in the plural.
 * 3) At least the most famous Egyptian pyramids are not rectangular but square, in fact their geometrical precision is one of the things which make them so enigmatic and famous. — Hippietrail 14:31, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 Any pyramid with a square base would, by definition, have a rectangular base.

 * So I guess we should say polyganal base by the same reasoning? — Hippietrail 02:21, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 We certainly could, except that by my understanding, if it didn't have a rectangular base, then it wouldn't be an Egyptian Pyramid as we know them. In any case, rectangular covers any cases where the pyramid might have a rectangular base but not a square one. If they all have square bases, then square would be the more appropriate word, particularly if we wanted to exclude any that had non-square rectangular bases.

I'm rfd'ing this again. It's totally absurd. The definition here is very close to that of sense 1 in The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, The Macquarie Dictionary, Colins Word Exchange, Microsoft Encarta dictionary, and Merriam Webster onine for plain old unadorned "pyramid".

Let's take the last one as a base:

"an ancient massive structure found especially in Egypt having typically a square ground plan, outside walls in the form of four triangles that meet in a point at the top, and inner sepulchral chambers"

So, more concisely, "Egyptian pyramid" might be:

An Egyptian ancient massive structure found especially in Egypt.

Idiomatic? Not in the least. The only time anybody would use the phrase "Egyptian pyramid" is when contrasting against some other sense, type, nationality? of pyramid, or contrasting against some other type of ancient Egyptian monument. Where are the citations illustrating otherwise? If we're going to go against all the other reputable dictionaries out there we better have a good reason for innovation.

What we really need to do is work on our own article, pyramid. — Hippietrail 02:21, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * My point was never that it was idiomatic--i.e., that it had additional meaning that could not be gleaned from square and pyramid--but that it was in some sense restrictive, and also that, as a cultural reference, it was related to a fairly specific concept. These we should have in the Wiktionary.
 * In addition, I disagree with your assertion that "[t]he only time anybody would use the phrase "Egyptian pyramid" is when contrasting against some other sense, type, nationality? of pyramid, or contrasting against some other type of ancient Egyptian monument". In fact, I'd say the opposite: in most cases that Egyptian pyramid is used, it is not being contrasted against any other type of pyramid (or other monument); it is only being used as an identifier to refer to something specific that we all know about by the term Egyptian pyramid.

Please provide some citations for this to move forward.

Some very relevant concepts have just been presented to me. The various kinds of definitions and which are applicable in a dictionary context:
 * Lexical definition - what prior books calling themselves dictionaries seem to be based on.
 * Stipulative definition - "a type of definition in which a new or currently-existing term is given a new meaning for the purposes of argument or discussion in a given context."
 * Precising definition - "a definition that extends the dictionary definition (lexical definition) of a term for a specific purpose by including additional criteria that narrow down the set of things meeting the definition."

 * The Wikipedia article on definitions may also be helpful: Definition

I believe "grounds for inclusion" is of primary interest to a dictionary so we need to take great care to settle this so as not to blur the scope of what Wiktionary is. — Hippietrail 03:11, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Those links are very interesting to me, though I'm not sure what they have to do with this argument. Now I understand that we are trying to construct a lexical definition of Egyptian pyramid.
 * Citations? Okay.
 * "I should get back to it tomorrow. I want to make a two piece pyramid puzzle. It's amazingly complex to solve for two pieces cut out of a pyramid. I saw at a science museum in Portland. I took a photo of it to remember how it was constructed but didn't develop the film until late today. In the intervening days I ran across the puzzle description at a museum in Waterloo, Canada. Their description misled me to think I had to build an Egyptian pyramid. When I did build one out of wood, it was realy easy with a simple jig, I couldn't possibly see how it could be cut in any clever way to form a puzzle. The Waterloo web site shows an Egyptian pyramid but the puzzle pyramid is a tetrahedron, 4 faces and not 5 like the Egyptian pyramid. Tomorrow I'll construct the tetrahedron. It's a little trickier, since the base is an equilateral triangle and not a square. I'll slice it properly and turn it into the puzzle"
 * The writer here is using the adjective "Egyptian" to narrow the term to m-w's #1a as opposed to m-w's #2 and is thus no more idiomatic than "geometric pyramid". — Hippietrail 03:55, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * "You're saying that Egyptian Pyramid Numerology is proof of the Bible? " :*: ''here "Egyptian" is not being used to contrast against other types of pyramids, and "pyramid" is not being used to contrast against other types of Egyptian monuments. They are simply an identifier being used together.  This is not an odd way to use the term.
 * It is unclear whether the adjective "Egyptian" applies to "Pyramid", "Numerology" or "Pyramid Numerology". The fact that the 3 words are capitalised makes it seem like a proper noun and therefore referring to something specific known between the communicating parties but not available in this snippet - possibly the title of a book or pamphlet. — Hippietrail 03:55, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * "Just like many people I am very interested in the problems around Egyptian pyramid construction. "
 * Sh/e's using the adjective because he's only interested in how the pyramids of ancient Egypt were build, not how any other pyramids are built. This is what adjectives are for. — Hippietrail 03:55, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * "An Egyptian pyramid was believed to be the body of the deified king, so the above equation may be understood as Pharaoh's transformation into Ra or Re"
 * I don't actually understand this quote. It's perfectly parsable as a plain old adjective + noun. In any case we don't have to prove that something is a "well-known idea" - that may be grounds for an encyclopedia. A dictionary is a word of lexicology and is interested in "lexemes" - not "ideas" or "concepts". Not unless we decide to break away from the established history of dictionaries at least. — Hippietrail 03:55, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I thought we were dealing with terms. In any case, according to Lexeme, "[u]nlike words, which are defined by paraphrases or synonyms in a dictionary, lexemes are concepts in the mind."  In any case, Italian dressing and red cross are hardly more idiomatic than Egyptian pyramid, yet they are in M-W.  Wordnet has farm worker.  Jun-Dai 04:14, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Term is a loose term with many meanings, lexeme is more precise. I do not know what type of dressing Italian dressing might be - is it more like Thousand Island dressing or more like vinagrette? I'm sure it's not just any old dressing from Italy. Any old cross may be red but the charitable organization is never just "cross". As for "farm worker" my guess is that it might be along the lines of our own police officer. It could be more politically correct ect. I doubt it is a very old term. I would consider it the most doubtful on the list, but not as doubtful as "Egyptian pyramid". — Hippietrail 04:23, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 *  Term is indeed a loose term, and it does have many meanings. I also happen to think it better serves to define what we are trying to capture here.  My confusion with lexeme is that the Wikipedia directly contradicts what you were saying--i.e., it states that a lexeme is a concept as opposed to a word.  Is the Wikipedia wrong? (that's certainly a possibility.
 * Police officer is another excellent example. A police officer is simply an officer that works for the police.  Nothing idiomatic there.  In any case, an Egyptian pyramid is not just any pyramid from Egypt, as I pointed out in round 1 of this argument.  It is a specific type of pyramid (large, monumental tomb; square/rectangular-based) much as Italian dressing is a specific type of dressing.  If an Egyptian now were to build a triangle-based pyramid-shaped structure made out of solid steel that was not designed to be a tomb, it would not be called an "Egyptian pyramid" except humorously.  If Italian dressing is not in any way Italian, then the example falls apart, as the term has taken on an idiomatic sense (much like English horn).  Red cross, similarly, is a specific type of cross that is red.  I'm not talking about the organization in this case, and neither is M-W; we are talking about the emblem itself, which is red and a cross.
 * If police officer is a modern coinage to replace policeman and policewoman then it has a place here. Nobody says "I was arrested by an officer". In stating "just any pyramid from Egypt" you again ignore the fact that the primary sense of pyramid is precisely "large, monumental tomb; square/rectangular-based" etc. This is a forced retronym based on some kind of premise that the interdictionary sense #2 or #3 is primary, and is as such a neologism. With Italian in Italian dressing does not tell me what kind of dressing it is. Pyramid does not require Egyptian to be a "large, monumental tomb; square/rectangular-based" since that is what a pyramid primarily is. As for Red Cross, MW's definition of a specific symbol seems perfectly valid. In fact it's based on another term I do not know without looking it up: Greek cross. Also parts of the definition not included within the term is that the cross be on a white background. — Hippietrail 04:54, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 *  What do you mean by "primarily"?
 * By sense number one. Most monolingual dictionaries are on a historical basis so the sense numbers reflect the order of the appearance of the word in the language. Bilingual (translating) dictionaries may well order senses by how common common they are and hence how important for the language learner. — Hippietrail 05:17, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 *  In that case, then either American Heritage (dictionary.com) is wrong, or m-w (m-w.com) is wrong, or it is unclear in this case, or one of them is using a separate set of criteria.
 *  I disagree that officer is not used to mean the same thing as police officer (I assume that is what you meant by the example), though I admit that the latter is more common. What I see is that there is a spectrum between something like police officer on the one side and something like Pacific island or Japanese house on the other, and with Egyptian pyramid in the middle somewhere.  Clearly we cannot have every possible adjective+noun combination in here (e.g., Pacific island) or even ever such combination where there are certain understood attributes, generalizations, or cultural assumptions (a Japanese house has sliding doors made with rice paper).  Yet, I think that really common sets like police officer, which is in no way idiomatic, pretty clearly has a place here.  Something like Egyptian pyramid, which is a fairly common set--certainly more common and more set than, say, Japanese house, but also less common and less set than police officer--is a somewhat more difficult call.  I would argue that the primary reason for most dictionaries not to include the term is the goal of concision, which we do not necessarily share with regard to the number of entries that we have.  This is a pretty low-priority term, but moderately-set expressions like this are not in grave danger of overwhelming the Wiktionary, and I would not be in favor of deleting them.
 * As you are arguing against the term categorically, Hippietrail, I don't think there's much chance of convincing me at this point unless you bring up something that you haven't already. It seems pretty clear to me that Egyptian pyramid belongs to the same class of terms as police officer, red cross (which in both m-w and ah is highly encyclopedic material), armed forces, etc.--just to a lesser extent.  I'm sure that my chances of convincing you are pretty low at this point, so I'm going to stop trying to think of ways of articulating my position.  Meanwhile, I'm still in favor of keeping this entry.
 * It just goes on and on. I think it's pretty clear that Egyptian pyramid exists simply as term that refers to a well-known idea that is more specific than would otherwise be clear from the two words individually.

I'm impressed that we don't have an entry for a single term linked from the definition. :) Jun-Dai June 29, 2005 19:27 (UTC)

1) Plural, 2) Not dictionary material, 3) No more than the sum of each word. SemperBlotto 07:06, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) So what? As little as 82,000 pages for "Egyptian Pyramids" vs. 46,000 for "Egyptian Pyramid" in Google. Definitely a candidate to be placed in a dictionary. They (strictly speaking, Great Pyramid) round up or are a part of Seven Wonders of the World. They are also known as "the pyramids of Egypt".
 * 2) Not encyclopedic material for sure.
 * 3) Not quite so, see 1). --Dennis Valeev 07:17, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with SemperBlotto:
 * Plural entry - if anything, it should go at "Egyptian pyramid"
 * There being multiple Google hits is not a reason per se for inclusion of a phrase - "my name is John" returns more hits than either "Egyptian pyramid" or "Egyptian pyramids", but we're not going to include it in Wiktionary.
 * What is so special about an Egyptian pyramid as oppposed to, say, an Aztec pyramid or a French pyramid (the outside the Louvre) or an Icelandic pyramid? How would you define "Egyptian pyramid" other than "a pyramid in Egypt", which is apparent from the component words anyhow?
 * Wrong capitalisation.

 * If "Egyptian pyramid" can be shown to have a sense greater than that implied by its component words, we can keep these (subject to changing the capitalisation), otherwise it must go. — Paul G 12:07, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Sad. It would have been a nice entry. ;) Dennis Valeev 12:19, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Delete. It's not idiomatic and not even a set phrase. Just like "Mexican pyramid" and "Guatemalan pyramid". A good example of an idiomatic phrase for comparison would be step pyramid. — Hippietrail 03:45, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Move to Egyptian pyramid.  Jun-Dai 18:15, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * We ought to have an entry for Egyptian pyramid as the meaning is not clear from the two words individually. Together, however, they form a recognizable concept, and it is more than common enough to warrant an entry.  This is not to say that we shouldn't have Aztec pyramid as well (though French pyramid is beyond stretching it, since that would never be used idiomatically).  An Egyptian pyramid is a specific type of pyramid, distinct from an Aztec pyramid, or a simple geometrical pyramid.  Anyways, this has way more reason to be here than, say, awe-inspiring, which is uncontroversially not idiomatic at all (or at least I've seen no argument that it is), yet sees enough use to get support amongst Wiktionarians.
 * As for what goes in the definition? I'll take a stab. Jun-Dai 23:56, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * There, I was a little bold, and I moved the article to Egyptian pyramid. Now we can go back to arguing about whether Egyptian pyramid, the proper location for the article, should exist.
 * </Jun-Dai>
 * Incidentally, how long do we keep the rfd tag on there? Jun-Dai 18:15, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * We keep the rfd tag until a decision has been made. Personally I find the difference between "Egyptian pyramid" and "awe-inspiring" to be that the former is a mere collocation and the latter is a set phrase. A good test would be to check some reputable dictionaries for entries for both of these.
 * Now I'm not sure whether "Egyptian pyramids" were ever built by non-Egyptians or build outside of Egypt, but the Aztecs were certainly not the only culture to build pyramids in Mesoamerica. Teotihuacan was discovered already ruined by the Aztecs who concluded the gods must have built it. You'll have to back up your claim that An Egyptian pyramid is a specific type of pyramid. I'm quite sure there are several types of Egyptian pyramid and in fact the Egyptian step pyramids look remarkably similar to the Mesoamerican step pyramids.
 * My recommendation is that this decision should be made after adequate research rather than on gut feelings and such. Let's find some citations and look what some professional dictionaries have decided before us. — Hippietrail 03:45, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * <Jun-Dai 07:15, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)>
 * So, at what point do we decide that a decision has been made? More importantly, isn't deletion one of those things where we have to unanimously agree to delete it before it gets deleted?  Or haven't we decided on a policy for that yet?
 * Usually when everybody seems to agree or when the discussion dies off. — Hippietrail 22:44, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * By type of pyramid I did not mean that any pyramid of a particular structure was an Egyptian pyramid, which seems to be what you thought I meant. It's actually pretty easy to back up: what I meant was that it was a category of pyramids, defined by a certain combination of physical attributes as well as it's geographical location, historical origins, and cultural context.  That there are several types of Egyptian pyramids isn't entirely relevant, since most types have subtypes.  There are, after all, bound to be multiple types of tree frogs, and there are definitely multiple types of green tea, Assam tea, and Darjeeling tea.  What's more important is it has achieved a level of cultural understanding (much like green tea and Assam tea) such that most people will have a particular image, or one of a particular set of images in mind when encountering the term, and people can therefore use the term to conjure up that image.
 * </Jun-Dai>
 * Well that's all philosohpical or Platonic or something but none of that makes "Egyptian pyramid" any more dictionary-worthy compared to other phrases. Of the list you give here I would definitely include "tree frog" and "green tea", "Darjeeling tea" probably but I would check first, "Assam tea" is less familiar to me so I would definitely check that. "Oolong tea" would go straight in.
 * PS. The Mayans were the other famous pyamid-building culture of the Americas - slipped my mind earlier. I certainly wouldn't consider "Mayan pyramid" dictionary-worthy either for what it's worth. — Hippietrail 22:44, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * <Jun-Dai 23:10, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)>
 * Well, first of all, you didn't explain why you feel tree frog, green tea, and probably Darjeeling tea should go in, but not Egyptian pyramid. None of those are particularly idiomatic, though they identify something fairly specific.  And of course there are others: Balsamic vinegar, sand dune, red wine, etc.  My point is simply that Egyptian pyramid is a reference to something specific in our cultural consciousness that is not simply served as a combination of the two words.  By putting the words together, the concept is narrowed down beyond simply referring to anything that is Egyptian and a pyramid.  If someone in Egypt makes a large, paper, six-sided pyramid, it would be odd to call it an Egyptian pyramid, even though the words, individually, would fit.  If it is possible to illustrate something that is Mayan and a pyramid, but wouldn't really be considered a Mayan pyramid, then that too, belongs in the Wiktionary (I'd say it probably does).
 * To me, the question is not whether Egyptian pyramid belongs in the Wiktionary, but rather where to draw the line in the spectrum that ranges from something that is as recognizable and specific as Darjeeling tea or Balsamic vinegar or moon landing on the one side and something that isn't really more than the combination of two words (i.e., totally lacking in set-phraseness and ready identifiability in the cultural consciousness) as California highway (which would, without problem, include any and every highway in California) and midwestern U.S. river (same idea) on the other. I don't really see Egyptian pyramid as a problem, because it has a certain level of set-phraseness (for lack of a better way to articulate the idea) in that you frequently see the terms paired together, and the paired terms have a referent that could easily exclude other terms that would fit into the type in a purely descriptive sense.
 * </Jun-Dai>

 * Out of interested I checked my hefty 1977 Shorter Oxford English Dictionary and the only one of all these terms it contains is tree frog. — Hippietrail 08:21, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm inclined to delete this one. The features that distinguish Egyptian pyramids from the Mayan and other pyramids are encyclopedic rather than lexicographic. Eclecticology 17:26, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)

 * I agree with Jun-Dai that Egyptian pyramid is idiomatic: not only would a paper six-sided pyramid five inches tall in Cairo not be an "Egyptian pyramid", it would be the wrong kind: "Egyptian" here is specifically a reference to Egypt, the ancient civilization, not Egypt, the modern Arab civilization, nor even Egypt, the location. (If Snofru built a pyramid at Athens, it would still be an Egyptian pyramid.) I would also add Pyramids of Egypt as the usual collective term. Note that the fact that it is "Egyptian pyramid" is valuable information: it's not *Egyptic pyramid or *Egyptish pyramid  (cf. nl:Egyptische piramiden); it's not *Egypty pyramid or *Egyptiac pyramid (cf. the Latin adjectives for "Egyptian" Aegyptius, later Aegyptiacus);  you might think these alternatives obviously strange or wrong, but a second-language speaker trying to translate pirámides egipcias might not find "Egyptian" spring so easily to mind. BTW the translations at Egyptian pyramid are still in the plural.  —Muke Tever 15:50, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * OK. I'll give in on this one. Eclecticology 03:01, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)

 * Everybody seems to be overlooking the fact that all other kinds of pyraminds came after the ones in Egypt. The word originally means "large monument or building with 4 tringular sides meeting at an apex such as those found in Egypt" or somesuch. Go check a print dictionary and you'll see that the first Latin cites for "pyramis" or however the Latin spelling went, are for these structures.
 * What next? six-legged insect? flying bird? round circle? — Hippietrail 08:05, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not idiomatic. Ncik 09:51, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:e-rights

its the greates craze in the greater san francisco bay area, who agress? any bay aryans out there?

 * I haven't lived there in a while, but I visited recently. Don't recall much fuss over this.  It does, however, appear in the short title of a late 1990s act of (US) Congress sponsored by Senator Leahy. -dmh 18:55, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Moved from RfD page
May possibly merit a definition depending on outcome of e-book etc., but this isn't it. --Dvortygirl 00:18, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

''Why would there be an unlimited number of such terms? There seem to be few enough that we have time for a flame war over each one. Just as an experiment, I took the first ten English terms that showed up on "random page" and searched for them with "e-" in front. Many got google hits, but almost all of those were false positives since google doesn't actually distinguish '-' from a space in its searches. The results:'' ''From here, the e- prefix doesn't look like the kudzu of the lexicographic world it's made out to be. -dmh 21:32, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)''
 * Agree with Connel's deletion. We do not need an unlimited number of these terms. Eclecticology 03:14, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
 * e-Homo neanderthalensis — nada.
 * e-official IRA — nada.

 * e-sibilant — nada
 * e-optical character recognition — nada.
 * e-murse — nada.
 * e-vicariously — One hit ("In a very real psychological way, it is you on that screen, living e-vicariously."), which I would gladly classify as a nonce.

 * Sorry about the late signature(s). Deleted.  --Connel MacKenzie 03:35, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It's back again. I still favour deleting it, but we don't need to act hastily about anything that could be controversial.  I like to wait at least a week before taking action on some of these. Eclecticology 17:16, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC)
 * As noted on the talk page it appears, among other places, in the title of an act of (US) Congress. The only basis I can see for deleting it is dislike of e- terms, which is not a valid reason.  -dmh 15:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * There are other things listed here on RFD that the US Congress said/says that is not Wiktionary-worth. A very recent example being Effects of poverty in the united states.  The point of deleting it is to remove worthless constructs.  You stick "e-" in front of anything and you have a term that I will be suspicious of.  This one (my most sincere respect for Mr. Leahy aside) seems far too contrived to be useful to anyone.  As per Talk:E-rights, I think it is also worth noting that any meaning in the "Bay Area" today is likely to conflict with the meaning used by the US Congress six (or so) years ago.  I think it is unlikely that either the meaning from last decade or the meaning currently in vogue in the Bay Area will be used a year from now.  We can wait and see, but for now this should be marked as a protologism/neologism/garbage term, or deleted from Wiktionary.  I think if we come up with a better general method of marking garbage as garbage, we might end up with a lot less contention on rfd.  (Individual talk pages might get lengthy, but that is probably where such discussions belong anyway.)  --Connel MacKenzie 17:24, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Effects of poverty on the United States fails for not being idomatic — someone might want to look up effect, or poverty or even on or the, but if they can get that far and understand English grammar, they'll have no problem with the whole phrase. I do agree that much of this discussion should revolve around how to notate an entry and not over whether to have it at all.  As to "e-rights" being of no use to anyone, it's apparently of use to authors, as in this from the Science Fiction Writers of America (hmm ... shall we dismiss this as "science fiction"?):

A writer or artist does not sell "books." A writer creates a work, and sells rights to that work. The type of rights sold might be book rights, magazine rights, movie rights, foreign language rights, or e-rights. The writer usually retains ownership of his work. He sells only the right to reproduce that work in a given form.

 * Really, it's a useful term. People use it.  You may not like the term or its derivation, but I honestly don't care.  Someone reading a passage like the one above might want to know what e-rights are, and I don't see why we shouldn't tell them. -dmh 18:03, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * You said "Really it's a useful term." I cannot agree.
 * You said "Peole use it." I agree.  A small group, for only a short period of time.
 * I don't see why we shouldn't tell them either; I do object to listing this term as a valid word. It is not.  It is an improper construct (as are all e-terms) and promoting it with no caution whatsoever encourages further misuse.  Since we have no effective banner to plaster over the top of the page, a interim solution is to just delete it.
 * --Connel MacKenzie 18:21, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * What, then, is a "proper word"? -dmh 18:36, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Note: Readded as I think we can all agree that this is still under discussion. And hey, what better banner do we have for dubious terms? :-) --Connel MacKenzie 18:43, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * A proper word is a term that has one or more accepted meanings by the general adherents of a particular languge, that follows established rules and conventions of that language. --Connel MacKenzie 18:43, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, so who are the general adherents of English, and what are its established rules and conventions? Would those rules and conventions include, say, using an abbeviated form of a term as an affix in derived terms? -dmh 21:20, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Why, you are right. e- should be listed as a valid term, as well as rights.  And in a dictionary they should be listed separately.  :-)  BTW, dmh, how would you (in your most descriptivistic manner possible) define a "proper word"?  --Connel MacKenzie 22:24, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't. The point is that trying to define a "proper word" is neither necessary nor useful.  What is useful is to report where and when a word has been seen.  It's also fine to include "usage notes" providing guidance.  They can take a while to hammer out, but they're useful nonetheless.  -dmh 05:32, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 *
 * Man, Connel, you are as determined a prescriptivist as I've seen here.
 * Thank you. --Connel MacKenzie 22:24, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of this term before today, but I see that it has fairly widespread use  .  I think that these e- terms should have a fairly high bar to reach before we consider them a term deserving an entry, and I believe that this term has reached that bar.
 * The main issue with the e- terms is whether they are understood as a word, or if they are merely a constructed form that people simply understand because of the parts from which it has been constructed. Once it reaches a certain momentum, it no longer matters whether the term is simply a construction, since it would also be understood as a term in a widespread manner.  In this case, it seems clear that the term is understood within the publishing industry and within the field of copyright law to have a specific meaning that is more constrained than simply electronic + rights.  Some other terms that have been sufficiently developed in the public consciousness would be e-book, e-publication, and e-zine.  e-quaintance this is not.
 *
 * If someone wants my support for this term they would do well to add in verifiable quotations. Eclecticology 06:54, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)

I've removed the RFD here. There is no serious question whether the term is in use, and there is no legitimate reason to hold terms like this to any higher standard than the thousands of other terms people have quietly entered without supporting evidence. -dmh June 27, 2005 19:14 (UTC)
 * rfd restored. Still no verifiable quotations.  I do agree that the term should not be held to a higher standard, but that is a reason for raising the standards on the others rather than lowering them on this one. Eclecticology June 27, 2005 19:33 (UTC)

 * That's not true, actually. The quote from the person or persons claiming to be "Tina Morgan", but who in fact could be anyone at all, is eminently verifiable.  Chase the link and it's there.  The Leahy bill is also quite verifiable.  Seek and ye shall find.  We've been experimenting with other notions of verifiability, but to what end?  All the talk of "verifiability", "reliable sources" and so forth is basically the wiktionary equivalent of a busted taillight.  It's used as a procedural pretext for challenging a term that the challenger doesn't like, generally precisely because people are using it.
 * This challenge is extremely selective. Is there any doubt at all that "e-rights" is used by writers, publishers and other interested parties to mean "rights to publish in electronic form"?  Of course not.  The issue is whether there is enough documentation to meet some disputed interpretation of CFI.  I used to routinely hunt up such documentation, but I'm growing tired of this.  When a referreed conference paper and quotations from three or four separate continents wasn't enough with e-dictionary, it became clear that any reasonable amount of support could be challenged until the challenger got tired of challenging.
 * Frankly, I still don't understand this obviously powerful desire to bar the door against an arbitrarily selected handful of terms, but I don't suppose I really need to. E-rights is clearly a term someone could run up against and not know what it meant.  That seems like a fine reason to have it in a dictionary, but if you or Connel really really don't want it, fine.  Gun it.
 * I'm not going to jump through any more hoops trying to support it, and I'm going to try to avoid jumping through hoops supporting anything else. If I have good quotes handy, I'll certainly point to them.  If I see an RFD on a term I'm cleaning up anyway that's clearly in use, I'll remove it.  Beyond that, I'm going to try to avoid wasting effort.  This is obviously very important to you, so why should I continue to fight it? -dmh June 27, 2005 22:26 (UTC)

 It strikes me that if Britannica and ASJA are willing to use the term without putting quotation marks, it probably belongs in here. I'm not really keen on dragging Leahy into the mess, since that would imply that our President should have a fair say in what goes in our dictionary, and I'd really hate to do that. In any case, there are lots of terms that should probably be removed before this one (including Wiktionary). This isn't really a matter of raising or lowering standards, unless we've made the decision to prescribe usage. I have no problem with doing that, but it should be a clear and conscious decision, and we should be up-front about that.

Colours
Hello Sally, colours can be both adjectives and nouns. The colour itself is a noun - "the sky was a brilliant blue", but an adjective when modifying a noun - "it was a brilliant blue sky". I think that in Wiktionary we normally define the nouns as "a something colour" and the adjective as "of a something colour". Have a look at the common colours like red and blue. It would also be great if you could generate those little rectangles of colour. Cheers. SemperBlotto 12:13, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Let me know if you need clarification and keep up the good work. — Hippietrail 6 July 2005 02:07 (UTC)

 * Hi Hippietrail!
 * Thanks so much for the clarification!! I will keep these in mind, and try to go back and fix the ones I already put in.

 * Another question relating to this... sometimes, the list of these terms gets quite long. Is it okay to split into 3 columns (like I have done with chocolate), or is there a policy on this? — Sally Ku 6 July 2005 02:24 (UTC)

 * Actually I really liked the 3-column layout and hope nobody objects. Some wiktionaries just put them all inline with no list but I find that too difficult. The 3-column approach (2-columns would also work for many articles) seems to be a very nice middle ground. There is probably no policy yet but a bit of experimentation is tolerated here most of the time. — Hippietrail 6 July 2005 02:43 (UTC)

porridge
Hi there. Your edit to oatmeal seems to imply that we (in the UK) refer to porridge as oatmeal, whereas it is actually called oatmeal in the US. In the UK, oatmeal is the actual crushed oats, and porridge is the dish made from them. Cheers. SemperBlotto 08:01, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Oops! .... thanks for the explanation! Sally Ku 08:20, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Categories
Your question about the categories is a fair one. I have indeed been changing Category:English colors to simply Category:Colors. (I usually use "colours" but had to respect the fact that the American form was used first in categories.) In a broader sense I have been working to develop some sense of order to the way categories are done. I have long seen the use of the word English in that context as redundant. This is the English Wiktionary. In some other categories it has led to humorous results. Tigers and kangaroos are not normally English mammals. For other languages it is essential to show the language, and in most (but not all) cases it should be possible to develop an identical category scheme for other languages to the one used in English. But to this end I have been moving Category:French colors to Category:fr:Colors except that (at least for now) Category:French language remains as the top category for the language. Please note that the category names all begin with a capital letter, but the language codes used are all in lower case. This takes advantage of the fact that upper and lower case letters are sorted separately. The category list will begin with all the English categories including links to the head page for each language. The other language lists will follow the English one. I will need to look at the policy to see if it needs clarification. Eclecticology 15:34, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, I think it makes most sense to put all English colours (I am Canadian.. I use "colours" too) directly under the category. I have been working on the colours category for the past while now... and will be moving all the English:colours to Colours, just for consistency. Sally Ku 15:45, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for offering to help with the Japanese translations. This suggest at least some familiarity with the language. Could you please look at the discussion at About_Japanese-English_bilingual, and also his discussion page at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edict_future.html  What this fellow has to offer seems like a tremendous asset, and he is concerned that Monash University may soon wish not to host the material. Let me know what you think. I would like to start getting a sampling of opinions about whether this is feasible before Wikimania.

Hi! I stumbled across this and have a few comments and wasn't sure where I should put them - either here or on police car blue's talk page. I will leave this for you, Sally, as you seem to be the colour expert and if you deem necessary, maybe a Usage Note or something can be formed.

Speaking for the USA only, police cars come in many shapes, sizes and colors. But this did not always used to be the case. Indeed, a police car used to be called a black and white after its colors. As I recall, however, one color has remained constant: blue has been and remains a color for the flashing signal atop many police cars. Indeed, it is illegal for any other emergency vehicle (let alone civilian vehicle) to have a blue flashing light.

I noticed that the entry for "police car blue" said that this color was "commonly used on emergency vehicles". I don't know what the source of this was - and let me be the first to say that it could be true - but it certainly isn't true for the flashing lights atop US patrol cars.

Thanks for listening. Beautiful work on all the colors! Cheers, --Stranger (SSL69 23:38, 24 August 2005 (UTC))

school bus yellow
Hi yet again. I used to work with an American guy, and he told me that US school buses were "federal yellow". Is that true? SemperBlotto 16:06, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmm... It seems like that the official name for the school bus colour in the US is National School Bus Glossy Yellow ( Example from State of Illinois), formerly called National School Bus Chrome. There is a colour, federal yellow, but I can't seem to find if it is the same colour.  I will look around a bit more. Sally Ku 16:32, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Invitation to contribute
Hi,

You might or might not already be aware that there is now a new system in place for marking translations that need to be checked (those that are suspected of being incorrect or those where it is not clear which sense(s) of a word the translations apply to). (See here for the Beer parlour discussion on this topic.)

Translations to be checked are now categorised by language. For example, Category:Translations_to_be_checked_(French) contains a list of all words where French translations need to be checked. This is designed to make the checking of these translations easier to maintain and work with.

I'm contacting everyone who has expressed an interest in working on translations (see the thread '"Translations to be checked" - a proposal' at Wiktionary_talk:Translations) or has indicated in Babel that they have a good knowledge of a particular foreign language or languages.

Would you be interested in helping out with the translations to be checked for Japanese? If so, please read the page on how to check translations.

If you want to reply to this message, please do so on my talk page. Thanks for your help you can provide.

Adjective: (US sports) substituted (so has to sit on the bench)

Past participle, not adjective. See English adjectives and bench. DCDuring TALK 13:05, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The definition we have is " substituted (so has to sit on the bench)". A more general sense of "sitting on the sidelines" sees an 1830(!) cite: . [[Wiktionary:English adjectives]] includes the following test: "Can it modify a noun in attributive position (before the noun)? Only adjectives and nouns can." Is that accurate? Does a benched player not use benched as a past participle? If it is accurate, then there are sufficiently many cites (search for "a benched player"). —msh210℠ (talk) 15:54, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * O the irony. --Mglovesfun (talk) 16:04, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed. The many (???) authors and readers of the page seem to have missed that.
 * We could say that "adjective" functions can be performed by words of many types, but the lexicographic class at Wiktionary is reserved for words meeting some specific criteria designed to prevent needless and hard-to-maintain duplicative content, without doing too much violence to the understandings of language professionals or, especially, normal users. I'm no language professional and viewed English adjectives as a draft to be improved in the wiki way by others. What it is the customary way of distinguishing adjective as functional role and as lexicographic category? Is there another way to look at it that makes it all clear? DCDuring TALK 19:34, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
