If this can’t be settled in a mature sense it is my obligation to request mediation. I am not here to insult or be insulted, if you feel I have insulted you, I have a talk page for that. In regards to deleting my user page was a request that would not be carried out by one person, rather Wiki as a whole could make that decision if appropriate. The question regarding my English: I went to school in USA, and typing was not available to me so my poor appearance is do to lack of PC-typing skills. I don’t believe that should discredit my intentions I find these comments (it's either Babel fish or a troll looking for attention) are the reason we are having this discussion in the first place. After I was declared to be dubious I decided to end any discussions with anyone making accusations like that. It was you that re-invited me for discussion.

yuè
Hey, I noticed you filled out the page for yuè, but I have no idea what "yuè" means, is, or represents. Is there any more information that could be added to the page so that I, who do not speak Mandarin, can understand "yuè" better? - TheDaveRoss 06:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it's hard - yuè is a pinyin transliteration of a large number of Chinese characters. It only has meaning inin context, like for example the English sound "fa" - which could be part of father or farm or (phonetically) fodder. I intend to provide meanings for the transliterated characters - after I have a basic article for each of the 1,415 pinyin transliterations. It's a long-term project, but will get done eventually. bd2412 T 13:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, I just have no clue what anything in that article means! :) Also, I would like to point out to anyone who hasn't voted yet that there are at least four votes going on at the moment that everyone has a vested interest in, 4 Checkusers, 2 Admins, 1 new logo and 1 boardmember, the more the merrier when it comes to these votes, especially the checkusers which requires 25 votes before anyone can be appointed, and the board vote which determines the course of Wikimedia! - TheDaveRoss 15:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Pinyin
Hi ... I've been thinking that the category really ought to be Mandarin pinyin ...

Yes, "pinyin" isn't very ambiguous. But we have (e.g.) Japanese kanji, where "kanji" isn't ambiguous either. With a few thousand languages, many of which have various POS and script form categories, IMHO it would be good if they all started with the language name? (Besides which, Pinyin is a West African language. Category:Pinyin really ought to be words in that Pinyin!)

Quite a few of your entries are also going to end up with sections for Min Nan POJ, Cantonese Jyutping, and others: Hakka, Wu, Jinyu, Gan, Xiang, Min Dong, Min Bei, Min Zhong. Hakka Pinyin is not Mandarin Pinyin ...

I do hope that when you subst: the template it leaves a new template on the definition line that includes the category? Robert Ullmann 15:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It does for the Pinyin number system transliterations, but I don't subst anything for the actual Pinyin articles - I can do it with AWB later on tonight. bd2412 T 15:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That was fast ;-) My last comment means when someday you subst:pinyin-n it should put in a new template that generates "Alternate spelling of ..." and has the category? Robert Ullmann 15:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That's reasonable - I'll do it when I get to the subst point. bd2412 T 15:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of messing with your template; created a form-of template for the definition line (Connel made a similar point infra while I was sitting thinking about it ...) feel free to change it. (note the CSS span whatever magic ;-) Robert Ullmann 21:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I see several problems with this template.

 * 1) The template name starts with an upper case character.
 * 2) It includes a language heading within the template.
 * 3) It includes a non-standard ===Pinyin=== heading (that I thought was going away)
 * 4) It includes a third level heading within the template.
 * 5) It doesn't subst: the PAGENAME variable when it should.
 * 6) It is missing the normal editing line breaks.
 * 7) It makes a reasonable (but invalid) assumption about target sections.
 * 8) It doesn't use  when it should.
 * 9) If it were to be used as a preload template, it would be called  or similar.  It would always be either subst:'ed or simply called from the MediaWiki:Nogomatch page.

--Connel MacKenzie 19:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The template is a temporary stopgap measure until the 1,415 pinyin number-system entries are done. Judging by the amount of blue on User:BD2412/Pinyin by number, I think I'm over 1/3 of the way done, and progressing at a good clip. When I have all the entries done, I'll modify the template to include whatever the final form should be for the entries, and subst them all in (at which point the template will become superfluous and will be deleted). I intend to introduce the template  and subst: the PAGENAME variables at that point, and then go back through and individually address the handful of transliterations that only stand for one character. I imagine we'll resolve the non-standard Pinyin heading before then as well, but I'm not sure what else to do with it, because the numbered pinyin entries (like the regular pinyin entries) are merely agreed phonetic indicators that may stand for words in any part of speech. bd2412 T 19:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Sounds like a fairly reasonable approach. I'd prefer you rename the template to follow the "new_{lang}_{function}" naming scheme, and not delete it when you are done.  (But yes, certainly subst: them all.)
 * It is good to hear some progress is being made on the "===Pinyin===" issue; I haven't followed that closely, myself. But I hope "we" decide against it.
 * By the way, most of the links on your sub-page appear brown to me; that is, below the stub-threshold. About 1/3 are red.  Only these entries: a1, a2. a3, a5, e2, ren3 and ren4 are blue.  --Connel MacKenzie 20:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Connel, this template is totally temporary; so the name doesn't really matter. Likewise having headers within, etc. (I don't understand your comment about subst: with PAGENAME, as it doesn't do anything inside a template? Outside it is harmless?) We shouldn't need it at all later, we'll keep the form-of template. (see comment supra). I agree that ===Pinyin=== should change; but we do need something along the lines of "Hiragana character" et al. Maybe it should be "Pinyin Syllable"? What do you mean by "reasonable assumption about target sections"? Robert Ullmann 21:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It would be more efficient to just create a new template at a new name when this process is done than to rename the existing one, which is already in an extensive number of articles - I think the links are showing up to you as substubs precisely because they contain nothing but the template and the target word of the alternate spelling. bd2412 T 23:15, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Renaming the template now has no effect on the existing entries (as long as the redirect is not tampered with.)
 * If you wait until after they are all subst:'ed, what would be the point of not moving the template to the correct name?
 * The links are substubs, yes because of the tiny size. My view of your one sub-page is not of concern but rather, at least three other parts of MediaWiki software that are affected by their creation and presence.  One example: Special:Shortpages is mostly pooched now.
 * When "the process is done" the resulting entries should not have <tt> </tt> in them, but the actual entry title instead.  Since the template in question is a "subst:ing" template, the <tt><includeonly></tt> trick should be used inside that template, right before subst:ing them all.
 * Out of ignorance, I shall try to refrain from saying anything more about the ===Pinyin=== heading. Perhaps it is the best approach: I know I have no clear idea whether it is, or not..
 * If the template has taken days/weeks/months to flesh out to everyone's mutual disatisfaction, it would be curteous to leave the template around, at the proper Template:new_... name. A year from now, someone will innocently come along and try adding tone characters again (as someone tried last year, and the year before, IIRC.)
 * --Connel MacKenzie 04:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Rest assured, I've planned all along to do the include-only subst of the PAGENAME part before subst'ing the template proper. I don't think anyone will add tone characters a year from now - at least not pinyin transliteration tones, as there is a finite set of those which will all be done. I give it about two weeks, at my current clip. Cheers! bd2412 T 05:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Connel, we certainly don't want to use ===Pinyin=== for words. The thing is that we also have entries for letters, characters, symbols, and syllables with and without tones, readings. These all use L3 headers that aren't POSes; and it seems reasonable. See for example き (ki), which use "Hiragana letter" and "Kanji reading" as well as "Noun". It seems reasonable to use "Pinyin" here, unless someone has a better idea? And as BD2412 points out, this is a finite set for Mandarin.
 * Oh, and the target section (#Mandarin) always exists in the Mandarin pinyin entry linked to. Robert Ullmann 11:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Right - it was not clear to me that there is a finite closed set of these, that no more can ever possibly be added to. --Connel MacKenzie 17:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Dear BD2412,

Thank you for signaling your confidence in my ability to act as a CheckUser for the English Wiktionary. Your vote means a lot to me. I deeply appreciate it.

He knows Wiktionary very well.  And he is very competent at focusing his efforts wherever they are most needed.  He operated the original Transwiki: bot, before we had the Special:Import feature we have now.
 * 2) User:Kipmaster is a French Wiktionnaire sysop and bot operator who is very technically capable.  He also is in Europe, making his hours of availability complementary to his American counterparts.  He is active in WiktionaryZ imports and understands very well which data can be imported here, from there.  He normally acts as our primary liaison to fr.wiktionary, whenever compatibility issues arise.
 * 3) User:Jon Harald Søby is a steward.  As a meta: steward, he is the primary person we call on to perform CheckUser checks now.  His availability is often limited, but his Central European timezone proves to be very, very useful on occasion.  He has contributed extensively to Wiktionary over the years.
 * 4) User:Kelly Martin was recently called in to help perform CheckUser checks on the English Wiktionary.  She is currently up for election also for the Board of Trustees of Wikimedia Foundation.  (In the unlikely event she wins that election, she will no longer be available to pursue her CheckUser nomination here.)  Since she also has CheckUser privilege on other sister projects, she is accustomed to the 'can's and 'cannot's of CheckUser procedures, in detail.

I hope you can take a moment to consider these fine candidates again. Your support means a great deal to them, as well as to Wiktionary's ability to perform its own CheckUser checks in a timely manner.

Thank you again, for your support. --Connel MacKenzie 06:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

"Irregular" plurals
I'm watching with some amusement, as you enter/re-cat those various plurals. I strongly agree with what you are doing, but I've been told that that is my POV. User:Ncik and I had a lengthy flamewar in 2004 or 2005 about the "-es" plurals, which he insists are regular, by English rules of spelling. --Connel MacKenzie 20:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, until someone objects, I plan to keep on it - did he think y --> ies pluralizations were "regular" as well? That's next. bd2412 T 20:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

 * As I said, I strongly agree with what you are doing. Yes, he considered "-ies" forms to be regular as well.  Most curious to me; he found a reference that insisted that "-ked" (e.g. for verb magic) was also "regular."  --Connel MacKenzie 21:03, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Pinyin-n
Would you mind if I subst:ed out all of these templates? As they are no one can edit/add to the entries, they don't count in entry counts, and they are not searchable. - TheDaveRoss 22:28, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * My intention is to wait until all the basic entries are done (I believe I have finished about 95% of them, here), and then to seek input from the community if there is anything else to be added or changes to headers, definitions, etc. that should be made before subst'ing. Cheers! bd2412 T 22:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Makes perfect sense, if you want it automated it would be a 2 minute bot run. Just let me know.  - TheDaveRoss 22:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated. At the moment I plan to do it manually, as I anticipate making certain entry-specific alterations during the process. Thanks again. bd2412 T 22:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I was just looking at it, thanks for the heads up! - TheDaveRoss 23:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

A thought, from reading the BP. Suppose each of the Pinyin entries had the template (cmn-alt-pinyin) on the "inflection" line, and then the definition line(s) were the characters with glosses. And suppose that the template was given both forms (diacritical and with-numbers). It could then magically display the correct form for the page it was on. Then the page text for yí and yi2 could be identical ...

And note that you don't need to edit the existing pages to add the present pagename as a parameter to cmn-alt-pinyin; that can be done with subst: magic. So you would subst: each page (as you intend); add the characters; as you complete each you simply copy it to the form with the diacritical. Robert Ullmann 12:38, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * If you like this I can edit and  to set this up; if you don't like it you can always revert both of course. Your show ... Robert Ullmann 12:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking now that the Pinyin-n entries should indeed be set up like the corresponing diacritic entries - however, only a scant handful of the diacritic entries are done, and A-cai assures me that much of the info in them is wrong (going back to the wrong source fom which they came). But I would like to set up the Pinyin entries to list the diacritics under an Alternative Spellings subhead. bd2412 T 13:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking the subhead is overkill; and it really isn't exactly an "alternative spelling". I was thinking more of

yi2 (form of yí with tone number)

yí (form of yi2 with diacritical tone)

or something like that. Should I set it up so you could take a look? Robert Ullmann 13:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * As long as somewhere in the mix it indicates that this is a Mandarin pinyin transliteration... bd2412 T 14:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Okay, I've modded both templates. The idea would be to change PAGENAME to subst:PAGENAME, and do the 'bot run. Then we are all set to add characters and short defs. The entries not done yet show up in the existing category for Chinese words needing work, so several people can edit if desired. I used "syllable" for the moment. See what you think. Robert Ullmann 15:55, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I lost the Mandarin pinyin cat (the people here changed our wireless s/w, driving me nuts for 2 days, of course this is not an actual excuse.) put it back in the template where it won't get lost. Robert Ullmann 21:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you think we should have separate categories for the numbered and diacritic entries? There will be over 1,400 of each, already a good size cat for either... that's pushing my thinking in that direction. bd2412 T 22:32, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I like it the way it is, sorting them together. As long as we use the cmn-alt-pinyin template, (which is where the cat was, and should be) we can always change it. I added the lc TOC template, doesn't seem too big at all. (certainly not more than 200 at each letter of the alphabet) wait 'till you see Han characters, with an average of 1000 at each radical ... sleepy time now, 2AM Nairobi, see you soon. Robert Ullmann 22:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Tweaked it a bit more; I had lost the "#Mandarin" section link; added a stub-like template so it is obvious what to replace when adding the characters (and we can mod the cat and text later if desired). Robert Ullmann 14:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * True - definitely best to keep as much as possible in that cmn-alt-pinyin template. Good thinking. bd2412 T 21:35, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Going to begin subst'ing tomorrow night, will do one letter per day. I will try to complete the entries as I go. Cheers! bd2412 T 12:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Good-o. Do it by replacing  {{Pinyin-n|  with  {{subst:Pinyin-n|subst=subst:|  and the PAGENAME will be fixed. (I think you could just run this through all of them and then add the characters as you plan, but whichever way you like!) Robert Ullmann 17:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I was just going to add the PAGENAME subst to the template itself before subst'ing the templates. bd2412 T 19:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * (left margin again ;-) that's fine if you do them all at once, otherwise the remainder say subst:PAGENAME instead of the pagename ... this works both for subst and include. But whatever, you know what you're doing. Robert Ullmann 21:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I fixed the template to handle the (e.g.) a/a0/a5 case, and sort a in the proper place. (even though "5" is more correct, it makes more sense to sort a on a0, right? looks good...) Robert Ullmann 15:21, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure which is correct
http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=beef&curid=45015&diff=1518914&oldid=1439661&rcid=1363521

Certainly I've seen several people comment that the tone markings should not be wikified in translation sections (which makes sense, as they are only lookup aids.) This is correct now, right? --Connel MacKenzie 08:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * A yao has it right; the form with tone numbers won't exist (unless it happens to be one syllable), and the form with the diacritics is preferred in the translations sections (sigh, another thing to add to WT:AC in the re-write ;-) although the diacritic form is specific to one language. (as is the translation in a lot of cases, they are often disambiguated). Robert Ullmann 11:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I would agree with that - if you are looking to write something in Chinese, you would not write it with the numbers (unless you were unable to write the diacritics, I guess). bd2412 T 14:43, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Irregular plurals
I just noticed that you also added lots of regular plurals to Category:English irregular plurals ending in "-es". Please read the rules on Category:English nouns with irregular plurals!!! If you want to have them changed, please discuss first. Ncik 12:16, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Well done..
..for finding a good compromise solution. It sometimes seems there aren't enough level-headed people around... Widsith 15:42, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Irregular plurals
Could you stop reorganising Category:English irregular plurals and its subcategories for awhile. I think we should discuss (on Category talk:English irregular plurals) what we are aiming for first. Ncik 16:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm done. bd2412 T 16:42, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Argh. I'd hoped you'd leave correct irregular plurals (such as bases, koories, etc) in Category:English irregular plurals ending in "-es". But nevermind, readding them shouldn't be too difficult. I've posted a few questions on Category talk:English irregular plurals now. Ncik 16:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Bots/Tasks
If you find you have large scale tasks such as the subst you are now doing manually, we have created this page for requesting bot runs. It is a much simpler process for a bot to do the replacements, unless you really want to in which case, more power to ya. Just thought I would let you know about it. - TheDaveRoss 16:34, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this is more of a pain than I had anticipated - please feel free to 'bot it, as the individual changes I thought I'd be addressing will have to be dealt with later anyway. Cheers! bd2412 T 16:36, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Running now. And done. - TheDaveRoss 16:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Bam! :) bd2412 T 20:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Um, but it was run without doing subst:Pinyin-n|subst=subst: so the PAGENAME still appears in the entries ... we need to change to  ... ? Robert Ullmann 11:03, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed we do! bd2412 T 16:51, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Legal assistance
Hello,

Some bizarre amount of misinformation is being put forth on WT:BP suggesting that clear copyright violations, really aren't copyright violations because the OED's copyright of their list of words (without definitions) is "dubious."

Could you please shed some light on the situation. If not, could you please direct me to someone who can? I don't know where WMF hides its lawyer(s). One of the mailing lists perhaps?

TIA,

--Connel MacKenzie 22:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * ...but do read the thread first, because as the one who used the word "dubious", I can say that it was certainly not to condone any copyright violations, or to suggest that we misuse the OED's list of words. —scs 22:28, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll have a look, but it will take me a day to get to it. Things have been busy around here! bd2412 T 03:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Pinyin entries
In reformatting the Han character entries, I linked all the Mandarin pinyin (in the diacritic form). Connel is now complaining that I've clogged up Special:Wantedpages ... the top 1000 entries are pretty much all missing pinyin entries.

I was thinking of generating all the missing ones, with the characters and the simple meanings where available. The code is simple, and I have most of it. What do you think? Robert Ullmann 04:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * That sounds like an entirely reasonable plan to me. bd2412 T 06:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Shall we do something with the ones with tone numbers? Which leads to an interesting observation: the Mandarin entries for words use tone 0 fairly consistently, while the single Han character entries always use 5. Have you looked at User:Robert_Ullmann/Mandarin_Pinyin? (and cheers!) Robert Ullmann 06:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The entries for tone numbers should essentially be identical to the entries for the corresponding diacritic. A "0" tone and a "5" tone should be identical but for a usage note indicating why one or the other is used, I think. bd2412 T 02:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, but there really isn't any reason why one or the other is used, except that some people thought "no tone" should be 0 and some thought it should be 5 (would have been nice if the original scholars had simply used 0, but they reasonably thought no tone should be no tone number ...). Would be kinda nice if we could do one thing consistently. Robert Ullmann 02:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ours is not to reason why... if both are in use (and there's no rhyme or reason favoring one or the other) then we have entries on both with a usage note describing the alternative is something along the lines of an alternate spelling. bd2412 T 04:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Categorizing English plurals
The template can take a language parameter. I only learned this myself earlier today, but you can type for instance, and it will automatically be categorized in Category:English plurals. You don;t have to put in a whole category tag. --EncycloPetey 07:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

θείον and theion
Greetings Widsith! Some time ago you moved theion to θείον. However, I believe that iwe should have a separate entry for theion based on the substantial usage of this transliteration in English-language theological writings (645 Google books hits, the bulk of them meeting this description), including the examples in the entry. What do you think? bd2412 T 00:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

 * OK, sounds good to me. I've never come across the word in English, but it does seem to be out there.  Widsith 09:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Done - since the cites were to the English, I've moved those as well (and added a bunch of others). Cheers! bd2412 T 11:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
I've been on Wikipedia for a long time and saw that Transwiki:Urban prairie was moved here, so I moved over the updated version. Maybe you could check it out, since I see a lot of red links. --Awiseman 17:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

constructivism

Noun

 * 1)  A Russian movement in modern art characterized by the creation of nonrepresentational geometric objects using industrial materials.
 * 2)  A philosophy that asserts the need to construct a mathematical object to prove it exists.
 * 3)  A psychological epistemology which argues that humans generate knowledge and meaning from their experiences.
 * 4) * 2000, Donald Kiraly, A Social Constructivist Approach to Translator Education, St. Jerome Publishing, p. 18:
 * There is no single theory of constructivism. In fact, there are many shades and varieties of constructivism spanning a range of perspectives. There is also no single individual who can be identified as the founder of constructivism. In fact, rather than tracing a linear development along one line of philosophical thought, constructivism seems to circumscribe a set of thinkers, theories and approaches that spring from a plethora of historical and cultural origins.

Talk:well

suspicious minds
I'm slightly suspicious of the examples in the adverbial section. These seem more like attempts to analyze the idioms well done and well-known. On the other hand, we do have less idiomatic examples like "I know them well" and "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well." The question is, can these particular senses occur with verbs other than do in the one case and know in the other? For example, "She sings well. seems like the first sense. Similarly, "You painted the wall well. seems to emphasize more that you put on an even coat without drips than that you didn't miss any spots (which is also in there, but not with any particular emphasis). My guess is that the do and know senses are peculiar to those verbs, and if so should be noted as such. -dmh June 27, 2005 16:29 (UTC)

 * I think you are right (don't let it get out that I agreed with dmh on something) and if anyone has a reason to disagree I think the onus probably should be on them to demonstrate why. Aren't the comparative and superlative forms also for the adjective?  --Connel MacKenzie 27 June 2005 16:51 (UTC)

Spare tire well
I suggest add the meaning of spare tire well.

first word of an answer
often and often whan you ask a question to a politician or other, the first word of is answer is "well" possibly to get two more seconds for reflexion.

 * Well, I'm not so sure - at least to my ear (which of course is heavily influenced by the Swedish translations) they are quite different (and they will at least need different translations for Swedish!). \Mike 14:39, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Try taking the discussion to the tea room for more opinions, as I don't think the two of us are likely to come to agreement on our own! Thryduulf (talk) 15:54, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

When someone says "Well?", they're not filling a gap -- they're saying "What is your response?" I think that this use needs its own entry.

Is there a tea room discussion of this? Duoduoduo 17:11, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

There seems to be more to it than just a "pause" when you start a sentence with "well". In the example given in the article "Well, I am sorry." the "well" diminishes the "I am sorry". "Well", in this case makes the "I am sorry" feel forced, as if the person did not really want to say it, but felt forced to.

In another example, given by prof. John McWorther he suggests that it is a "nod to ignorance in this case" "Why don´t wolves eat horses" "Well, horses run fast".

It may have started as a pause, but now a "well" start has a variety of meanings depending on the context. DanielDemaret (talk) 16:17, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

well
Rfd-redundant: slang UK intensifier, with usage example "Well wicked"

This seems like the normal degree sense applied to a slang term. Am I missing something? DCDuring TALK 22:19, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

 * It "feels like" a separate sense to me. "That film was well good" seems ungrammatical in normal English. You'd say it was "very good" or perhaps "well made". When I read "well good", "well wicked" etc. I immediately know it's extreme slang usage. Equinox ◑ 02:48, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Indeed, it is fairly redundant to the definition above, but this one needs the context templates (not really slang), where as "this author is well-known" definitely isn't . Mglovesfun (talk) 15:20, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Perhaps wicked: needs some tag it doesn't already have. I've read that it has been used in what seems like the same sense in parts of the US, where its usage has radiated from New England, especially eastern Massachusetts. "Well" is an ordinary degree adverb. Much of the pool of such can be used interchangeably. There may well be regional differences in their relative frequency, but we haven't documented them. I can't imagine that we can document (attest) spatial and temporal changes in register of colloquial SoP collocations usefully enough to make such differences a rationale for keeping terms that would not otherwise meet CFI. I think we (en.wikt community) may be coming to the time where we have to challenge some of the more ambitious claims of meaning and distribution that are being made and used to justify inclusion arguments. Either attestation or references rather than assertions would help. DCDuring TALK 17:26, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I have added three citations. Note the very slangy register (e.g. "Hey dude" in one of them). Equinox ◑ 13:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

 * That the word is used with informal or slang terms doesn't make it slang. I doubt anyone can find any difference in denotation between the word as used in the more formal examples I have inserted and the slangy cites.
 * The previous usage example with "known" made is seem more like a manner adverb modifying as it did something that probably was not a true adjective, but a past participle used as a part of a passive construction. The inserted citations are all with unambiguously true adjectives, I think. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 16:39, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

 * But it doesn't mean the same thing as the other senses. The only one that comes close is "Completely, fully"; but "well good" doesn't mean "completely good" or "fully good", only "very good". Equinox ◑ 18:34, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Based on a comparision of BNC and COCA, it seems that "well" is used with words that express evaluation (cool, strange, stupid, weird, worthy, nice, funny, wicked) or personal emotional state (glad, happy, chuffed, annoyed) in the UK much more than in the US (familiar, content, worthwhile). Both corpora show use with a wide range of other pure adjectives (past, short, shy, clear, wide, open; early, late, old, dead; aware; able, capable) and past participles. Does that constitute a separate sense or does it merely narrow the list of possible synonyms that could substitute in all situations? DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 19:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

I can't see any difference of this usage from the "(degree) To a significant degree" usage. How is "well good" or "well cool" different from "well capable" or "well content"? It's still the same "well" just intensifying other adjectives. If "well cool" or "well wicked" come into common use, maybe they could be idioms. Until then, it's just an author's or speaker's choice of which words to put together. Facts707 09:01, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Also, couldn't we just put an entry under "usage notes" for wicked, good, etc. that says in the UK people use "well" in front of them, but elsewhere that is not done, instead really, very, extremely, and any number of other adverbs are used. Facts707 09:27, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per DCDuring. Perhaps add a usage note. —msh210℠ 18:09, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Nah keep, a "well-cooked steak" can never be nonstandard or colloquial. Not can I order a "very cooked steak". Perhaps the only difference is the context labels but that's enough for me. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:22, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Kept for no consensus.--Jusjih 03:21, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Gap filler example
The example given for the gap-filling function of "well" is

 * (colloquial) Used in speech to fill gaps; filled pause.

 * It was a bit...well...too loud.

I don't think this is a good example. This is an example of a meaning something like "I'll go ahead and say it rather than politely suppress it". I think the only time "well" is used as a gap filler (="er", "um") is at the beginning of a sentence. Duoduoduo 17:11, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

 * It's the first word of many a blues song. It's much better than "er" or "um" when used like that. Also songs like "Well, I've never been to Spain" -- Three Dog Night. It takes the place of nothing when the lyric begins on the first half-beat or the second beat. "Well, now it's three o'clock in the morning, and I can't even close my eyes" -- B. B.

[not before noun] in a good state or position It seems that all is not well at home. Is this also the one in the hypercorrected meaning? --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:52, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Hypercorrect usage.
The entry currently marks “How are you?” — “I'm well, thank you!” as "hypercorrect". Presumably because something that usually functions as an adverb has been used in a way that has been analysed here as adjectival. (Possibly also something related to the dual meanings of "good" as "favourable" and "moral"?)

In any case, I want to check a related usage. Consider the following: ①“How are you doing?” — “I'm doing well, thank you!” ②“How's everything going?” — “I'm going well, thank you!” ③“How's it going?” — “I'm well, thank you!”

In ① and ②, it seems to me that "well" is clearly used as an adverb, and should not be marked as hypercorrect (unless perhaps in some U.S. vernacular). In ③, looking only at the response, it could be argued that "well" is used as an adjective, and so is hypercorrect. Alternatively, with reference to the precedents of the patterns in ① and ②, and considering the question posed, it could also be argued that ③ is an example of ellipsis in which a verb (most likely "going") is implied, and so "well" functions as an adverb, and is thus correct (not hypercorrect).

Finally, based on the above analysis, the original example could also be analysed as possible ellipsis, with "well" in the role of an adverb that modifies the ellipted verb ("doing" or "going", say), being correct rather than hypercorrect.

Does this make sense to others? If so, are any changes needed to the entry?

—DIV (1.129.111.71 12:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC))
 * I think it's more likely that "well" is used in ③ by analogy with ① and ②. "I'm doing good" is commonly proscribed, so people avoid the word "good", thinking it is wrong in all three cases. Of course, how different speakers actually perceive this could vary from person to person. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 04:58, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Yes, your perspective seems reasonable. Although it's only a slight difference between analogy and ellipsis in this case, perhaps.  —DIV (1.129.106.200 23:23, 2 April 2021 (UTC))

Stonewall

Etymology
From. The drink is so named because its effect is likened to running into a stone wall. The riots take their name from the Stonewall Inn where they began (in the 1840s, the property was called Bonnie's Stone Wall, later renamed to Bonnie's Stonewall Inn, then the Stonewall Inn Restaurant, and then the Stonewall Inn). The Confederate general acquired his nickname after a battle in which, while other troops were in motion, fellow general Barnard E. Bee observed "there stands Jackson like a stone wall" (either resolutely, or unhelpfully). The chess setup is so named because it is a solid formation which is hard to overrun by force, like a stone wall.

Proper noun

 * 1)  A series of riots in 1969 New York City, beginning with the patrons of the gay bar "The Stonewall Inn" resisting police arrest, which marked the beginning of the militant gay rights movement.
 * 2)  Confederate general Thomas Jonathan Jackson.

Talk:rhinoceros

As far as I know, rhinoceroticus doesn't exist in English, so I've deleted it. rhinocerotic does exist 213.208.107.91 27 June 2005 17:50 (UTC) Archaic texts should be easier to find than current texts, but it seems this plural form has simply never in history, been used in running text. --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Cited. It was never very common, but it's definitely been used plenty.  Widsith 08:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you. The one citation may not be enough though.  Are you certain it is "archaic" and not "obsolete?"  --Connel MacKenzie T C 01:00, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry for the duplicate listing. This is being discussed at length in WT:RFC.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

The assertion that the classicizing plural 'rhinocerotes' belongs with the naturalized singular 'rhinocerot'. Highly unlikely given the vowel change involved. The ordinary singular 'rhinocerots' seems well-enough attested, but not the use of [http://books.google.com/books?q=rhinocerot+rhinocerotes rhinocerot sg. with rhinocerotes pl.] —Muke Tever 15:41, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, it's right as per the OED. The Shorter OED has a usage note which explains that it is a convention to regard rhinocerotes as a plural of rhinocerot rather than of rhinoceros.  We seem to be talking about this in every forum at the moment...  Widsith 08:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * That's interesting, because the longer OED has a usage note saying that they have rhinocerotes as a plural for both rhinoceros and rhinocerotes, with an additional note saying that it only has it as a plural of rhinocerot from c. 1550 to 1700 (which, incidentally, is nearly the same range that they assert the spelling rhinocerote is attested...). —Muke Tever 23:13, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Well then, change it if you like Widsith 08:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * rfvpassed Andrew massyn 20:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)}}

Talk from tea room:

One of the plural forms of rhinoceros is labelled as "etymologically correct" but is not in any of my dictionaries. Is it valid? What does "etymologically correct" mean? (we are a descriptive rather than a prescriptive dictionary aren't we?) SemperBlotto 14:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Well in a sense rhinocerotes is indeed "more correct" than the common one, as derived from Latin. The usage in English is at least archaic, I believe. — Vildricianus 14:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

 * From Google Books: rhinoceri and the rarer rhinoceroi. Are these sufficient? Doremítzwr 14:49, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

 * rhinocerotes has been used in English – there are plenty of nice cites on Google Books. But we shouldn't label it ‘etymologically correct’: that is not a useful, or even very meaningful, comment.  Widsith 11:25, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Very well, what phrase do you suggest as an alternative? I take “etymologically correct” to mean ‘correct in the language from which (the word) was borrowed’; if you can think of a succint phrase which better embodies this definition, then I will be happy to use it in place of “etymologically correct”. Doremítzwr 11:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Normally I use 'classical plural' or—I think more correctly now—'classicizing plural' for Latin/Greek words (ex. at epiglottis), contrasted to English or (better) Anglicized plural. This similar to practice in other languages (e.g. Japanese kitsune).  (I say 'classicizing' as I don't really think 'Latin plural' would be appropriate, it being originally Greek, and neither is 'Greek plural' appropriate, as the Greek plural is actually ῥινοκέρωτες.) —Muke Tever 11:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Well I would just mark it (archaic). Although, checking my sOED, I see they have done things differently.  They give rhinoceros and rhinoceroses as the only plural forms, but note that ‘plural forms in Latin plural -otes have been regarded as belonging to next’, the next entry being rhinocerot, a rare (singular) variant and synonym of rhinoceros.  So maybe we should adopt that solution.  Widsith 12:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

 * That’s fine with me, but we still need an alternative term to “etymologically correct” for all the other plurals of that nature which don’t go away as easily as rhinocerotes. Doremítzwr 23:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

 * "Etymologically constructed plural" or "Etyomologically derived" perhaps? --Connel MacKenzie T C 01:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

 * “Etymologically derived” would be my choice. Is this term satisfactory for everyone else? Doremítzwr 01:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't see the need for it personally. We have an =Etymology= section to explain where words came from.  Widsith 07:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * To distinguish between plurals that are erroneous or add the ubiquitous ~s morpheme and those that remain faithful to the plural form from the language from which the word in question was borrowed. This is often unclear from the etymology (unless one has background knowledge of the language in question). It is my belief that we should include the “etymologically derived” plural(s) of every word (noting if they are rarely or never used), as there are many people (like me) who have a somewhat obscurantist tendency to be ultra-correct, and only ever use plurals from the words’ languages of derivation, and would thus appreciate being able to find the original form in an accessible resource like Wiktionary, and not having to search for ages through obscure academic writs. For example, to pluralise imprimatur, platypus and saga, I would use imprimantur, platypodes and sögur. Including these forms could only improve Wiktionary as an online resource, and would not detract from its claim to be descriptive, rather than prescriptive. What does everyone else think? Doremítzwr 15:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * But it is not ‘ultra-correct’ to to use plurals from a word's language of origin; in fact usually it's just wrong. Since no English dictionaries list these forms, and they are virtually unattested in English, you really have no authority to claim that they are correct.  The grammatical rules of other languages are just not relevant.  Most English words are from Old English, which formed plurals by adding not -s but -as; are you going to adopt that as well?  One dog, two doggas?  Anyway, how far back do you go?  And why stop with plural inflections; why not adopt subjunctive cases as well when the mood requires it?  Or resurrect the dual form when talking about two things?  These attempts to be ‘correct’ are misguided.  They ignore the fact that English has a grammar of its own which is more than capable of forming plurals in its own regular way without being in any way ‘wrong’.  Yes, sometimes people use these forms out of error rather than choice, but that doesn't mean that there is some ‘pure’ form of inflections for every word that can be found if you just go back a language or two.  I agree that the information should be available on Wiktionary, but the proper place for it is usually within the relevant source-language section rather than in the English (unless it has been attested in English).  Quite apart from anything else, there is also the consideration of register: platypodes really sounds very pretentious.  I'm sorry to rant at you....this is a subject that gets me going!  Widsith 08:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * It would be entertaining, though, to see the logical conclusion of *ultra-correction, i.e. text with all words honoring the tenses, moods, declensions, conjugations, and orthography of the source words so far as they can be traced. Works written in *ultra-correct English would have to be updated every time an earlier root of a word is discovered. Rod (A. Smith) 19:40, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't think that would be entertaining at all. That line of thought is what has led to "proto" forms gaining an air of legitimacy, when in fact, they are a measure of a particular "researcher's" imagination.  --Connel MacKenzie 16:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
