Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or make a hyperlink. The Wiktionary tutorial is a more wordy, multi-page document that helps you through those same formatting issues, and also touches on a couple of other issues relevant to editing.
 * The document What Wiktionary is not may be of interest. In particular, if you've edited Wikipedia in the past, you should note that Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia and does not have Wikipedia-style page titles.
 * How to start a new page is a technical guide to, well, how to start a new page. But you'll also want to look at our guidelines for how to format an entry (what goes where) and our criteria for inclusion (what can be included), which are our two main policy documents. (You can get a feel for how to format an entry by looking at existing entries.)
 * The Sandbox is a safe place for testing markup.

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own.

This is not Wikipedia; it is run in a very different manner, and assuming similarity may get you blocked for causing disruption. This has happened too frequently in the past, which leads to a (possibly unfair) prejudice about your motives and actions here. You should note particularly that being bold is not encouraged where it goes against any of our policies or against the community consensus, which is generally strong. Changing policy pages on Wiktionary is very strongly discouraged: if you think something needs changing, discuss it at WT:BP, following which we may formally vote on the issue.

Our two main policy documents are Entry layout explained ("ELE") and Criteria for inclusion ("CFI"). ELE describes our standard layout; unlike on Wikipedia, all entries must follow this layout, even if they are not yet complete. (You can get a feel for our standard layout by looking at existing entries.) CFI describes what is allowed in the dictionary, and disallows (for example) most names of specific persons or places. We generally follow ELE and CFI closely.

An easy way to create a properly formatted entry is to use one of our article templates: type the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hit 'Go', and you'll see links to the templates. If you do create a couple of entries that are not properly formatted, someone will be glad to clean up after you. But if you do it repeatedly, you might get blocked as a temporary measure to give you a chance to read ELE.

Some other differences between us and English Wikipedia:
 * Entry titles are case-sensitive and do not have their first letters capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized. So we have mercury for the substance and Mercury for the planet and the god. (We do not use parentheses in titles: there's no Mercury (planet).)
 * We just want definitions of words, not long-winded explanations worthy of Wikipedia.
 * Wiktionary has very different user-space policies from Wikipedia's. We are here to build a dictionary, and userpages exist only to facilitate that. In particular, we have voted to explicitly ban all userboxes with the exception of ; please do not create or use them.
 * Other policies, including on, blocks, and redirects, are very different from English Wikipedia's. And we have no counterpart to Wikipedia's three-revert rule.
 * Various templates and shortcuts that you're used to using do not exist here, or have different names. For example, don't try to use   to refer to a template! ( will do the trick.)

Also, a "citation" on Wiktionary is the same as a "quotation" and is evidence of a word being used; we use these to construct dictionary definitions. See WT:QUOTE. A "reference", on the other hand, which is called a "citation" on Wikipedia, references another secondary source, such as a dictionary, and is used predominantly for verifying etymologies and usage notes, not the definitions themselves. (This is largely so that we don't fall into the trap of adding "list words", words that, while often defined, are never used in practice.)

I hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary! If you have any questions, then see the help pages, add a question to one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my talk page.—msh210 ℠ 21:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

English vice

Etymology
From various authors' descriptions of certain vices as particularly common or representative among the English.

Proper noun

 * , overeating.
 * , particularly vacuous, base, and tedious moralism.
 * , particularly sentimental royalism and deference to class and aristocracy.
 * 1) * 1908, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, All Things Considered, French and English (additional link: )
 * If the Frenchman saw our aristocracy and liked it, if he saw our snobbishness and liked it, if he set himself to imitate it, we all know what we should feel. We all know that we should feel that that particular Frenchman was a repulsive little gnat. He would be imitating English aristocracy; he would be imitating the English vice. But he would not even understand the vice he plagiarised: especially he would not understand that the vice is partly a virtue.
 * 1) * 1909, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Tremendous Trifles, Chapter XXVII: “Some Policemen and a Moral”, §8:
 * There enters into such things a great national sin, a far greater sin than drink—the habit of respecting a gentleman. Snobbishness has, like drink, a kind of grand poetry. And snobbishness has this peculiar and devilish quality of evil, that it is rampant among very kindly people, with open hearts and houses. But it is our great English vice; to be watched more fiercely than small-pox. If a man wished to hear the worst and wickedest thing in England summed up in casual English words, he would not find it in any foul oaths or ribald quarrelling. He would find it in the fact that the best kind of working man, when he wishes to praise any one, calls him “a gentleman”. It never occurs to him that he might as well call him “a marquis”, or “a privy councillor”—that he is simply naming a rank or class, not a phrase for a good man.
 * , particularly casual complacency towards corruption.
 * , particularly flagellation (whipping and spanking).
 * 1) * 1978, Ian Gibson, The English Vice: Beating, Sex, and Shame in Victorian England and After, Duckworth, ISBN 9780715612644, title.
 * 2) * 2002 July 1, Quana Jones, "We Have a Winner: 'The English Vice' Explained", Dr Weevil:
 * The ‘English vice’ is spanking on the buttocks sometimes refered [sic] to today as 'corporal punishment... The English 'public' school system used corporal punishment for many years and it is claimed that many an English schoolboy acquired a taste for such treatment that carried on into his adult life. You may recall 's many references to Eton's block and 'birching', claiming that his own proclivity for that particular pasttime [sic] had been cultivated by such school practices. Of course, there is also the other opinion. That is, that the English vice is whatever the French say it is. I supposed the same could be said to be true about the "French vice".
 * , particularly with domestic trappings resembling a second household.
 * , particularly with regard to the poor.
 * , particularly flagellation (whipping and spanking).

baked Alaska

Etymology
Said to have been coined by (1836–1899), the French-American  of Delmonico’s, a restaurant in New York City, New York, United States, to mark the purchase of Alaska from the Russian Empire on 30 March 1867. However, there is no contemporary report of this fact, and in his book The Epicurean (1894) Ranhofer referred to the dish, versions of which pre-dated the Alaska Purchase, as an “Alaska, Florida”, apparently because of the contrast between its cold and hot elements. The dish appears to have been first called an or baked Alaska some time after the Alaska Purchase.

Noun

 * 1) A dessert consisting of ice cream encased in cake and meringue and briefly baked.
 * 2) * 1879 December 5, George Augustus [Henry] Sala, “Fashion and Food in New York”, in America Revisited: From the Bay of New York to the Gulf of Mexico, and from Lake Michigan to the Pacific. [...] Illustrated with Nearly 400 Engravings. In Two Volumes, volume I, London: Vizetelly & Co., 42, Catherine Street, Strand, published 1882, ; 3nd edition, London: Vizetelly & Co., 42, Catherine Street, Strand, 1883, , page 90:
 * I dined at Delmonico's hard by the Fifth-avenue Hotel, a few nights ago; and among the dainties which that consummate caterer favoured us with, was an entremet called an "Alaska." The "Alaska" is a baked ice. A beau mentir qui vient de loin; but this is no traveller's tale. The nucleus or core of the entremet is an ice cream. This is surrounded by an envelope of carefully whipped cream, which, just before the dainty dish is served, is popped into the oven, or is brought under the scorching influence of a red hot salamander; so that its surface is covered with a light brown crust. So you go on discussing the warm cream soufflé till you come, with somewhat painful suddenness, on the row of ice.

 * It was the I-give woman serving up her breasts like two baked Alaskas on a platter that took all the kick out of looking into the boy's eyes. Gigi watched him battle his stare and lose every time. He said his name was K.D. and tried hard to enjoy her face as much as her cleavage while he talked.

Categories
Please do not move the video game entries out of the Video games category. --EncycloPetey 04:32, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That category redirects to Category:Electronic games. There shouldn't be any items put in a redirected category. CyberSkull 04:34, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm.. Good point. Someone deleted the category without discussion, it seems. --EncycloPetey 04:36, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've just created the topic context template:video games. This currently places articles in Category:Electronic games, but it will allow us to easily change it to Category:Video games when the matter is sorted out. CyberSkull 04:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Be careful, though. Terms like player character are not specific to video games; they apply equally to LARPs and more conventional gaming. The context tag should only be used when the term is jargon specific to video games and no other kind of gaming. --EncycloPetey 04:52, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Page structure
I see you've discovered that sometimes our Part Of Speech header is indented underneath the Etymology header. Note that this only happens when there is more than one Etymology section. Normally, there is just one Etymology section and the POS header is at level-3 (e.g. ===Noun===), which is at the same level as the Etymology header. --EncycloPetey 05:56, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Category proposal
Almost all discussions here happen in one of four fora: (1) Grease Pit for technical issues; (2) Tea Room for discussions of etymology, precision of definitions, usage; (3) Information Desk for questions about Wiktionary itself; or (4) Beer Parlour for most issues, including policy and structure proposals. So, the Beer Parlour is the place to make a suggestion like that. Just start a new section saying what you'd like to do, and give a rationale for why it would be an improvement. --EncycloPetey 06:23, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

headwords
Please make sure you include a headword (inflection line) on all your new entries! Thanks!—msh210 ℠ 21:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * E.g., .—msh210 ℠ 21:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Plurals
Thanks for your continuing work. Two pointers on creating plural entries: (1) The entry shouldn't be classified as a lemma (dictionary form), since it's a plural. (2) When using the template, please link the included word. You can see what these two things look like in the edits I made to arcade games:. Pointer (1) means that the inflection line for a plural is just the word in bold, and no template is needed. Plural forms aren't treated quite the same way as singulars, unless the plural is the standard form (like scissors:). Pointer (2) means the word in the template is enclosed in wiki-links. Yes, I know, the template will work without the links, but when the links are left out, the system does not recognize the new entry as "good". Our statistics, including our page total comes from having "good" entries, which must include explicit wikilinks somewhere in the page. Wikilinks added by a template won't do that; they have to actually be present in the page itself. --EncycloPetey 05:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * bind on pickup (etc) as uncountable? You can't have more than one of these? SemperBlotto 15:10, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * You seem to be using the term as an adjective - not a noun at all. SemperBlotto 15:24, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Template naming
FYI, Wiktionary convention is to use lower-case template names except in extremely rare circumstances. You might consider reversing the redirect on BitTorrent. --EncycloPetey 22:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I realize, but BitTorrent is a proper noun. CyberSkull 22:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So are "Latin" and "Wikipedia", but we use lower-case for those as well in template names. It's a template naming convention here. --EncycloPetey 22:58, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

context labels and definitions
Just a small matter, but where you add (or find) a context label that duplicates (nearly or exactly) some of the words in a definition, it makes the definition read better if you remove those words. See for an example that should explain what I mean for better than what I've just written! Thryduulf 23:51, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I just thought I'd let you know that I think has been deprecated in favour of. I'm not absolutely positive on this, and so have asked Williamsayers79, an editor who's fairly knowledgeable about these sorts of things. In any case, both generally produce the same effect, so I don't think it's a huge deal, but I believe allows for future automatic sorting (e.g. if someone decides all of the xxx:Games should also go under xxx:Entertainment or something, they can do it with a single edit). -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 04:14, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Brand names etc
Criteria_for_inclusion and Criteria_for_inclusion may be of specific interest to you, given your interest in video games. Generally such words are unlikely to meet the criteria for inclusion, except for words that widely used outside of the video-game world itself. If a newspaper columnist refers to the "Xbox generation" or "Wii culture" that counts as a qualifying use ("attributive use"). If someone compares Xboxen with Wiis in the same newspaper in a review, that wouldn't count. We like to get everything new that is becoming part of general culture included as quickly as possible, while not being overrun with entries for every model and character. We also like to eliminate redlinks in our articles. That means making sure that, if a redlink wouldn't qualify as a Wiktionary entry, we have any WP article for it linked in-line.
 * The above is my simplified, non-cutting-edge take on the rules, not an official statement of any kind and still less a scolding. If you find that my statement is misleading in some way, please let me know so I don't mislead anyone else in your position. HTH. DCDuring TALK 19:00, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Video game terms
Hello. About your to-do list: although I think some of these could be good additions, I'd also suggest that you first consider breaking them down into individual words and considering whether the combination of words says enough. e.g. game engine is the engine powering a game, video game controller is the controller used for a video game. Where a phrase's meaning is more or less obvious from its components -- even if it happens to be used a lot in gaming communities -- the phrase itself is not necessary. One that particularly struck me was battery-backed save; we're missing that adjective, and it would be nice to have an explanation, but the adj+noun combination can easily be deduced from the two words. Equinox 23:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Template:fruit(s)
Where do you expect these templates to be used? What words / definitions do you know that are only used as fruit jargon? --EncycloPetey 07:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Look at manga. CyberSkull 07:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The template is misused there. It is not jargon. --EncycloPetey 07:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What would be appropriate then? CyberSkull 07:51, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a definition and a category link, with no jargon context template. The context templates are only placed before a definition (1) to indicate usage register (slang, vulgar, etc.), (2) to indicate regionalisms (e.g. UK, SAfr, etc.), or (3) to indicate a definition context limited to a particular jargon (e.g. legal, medicine, etc.).  The context is not necessary for most words, and should only be used in cases where a word's usage is limited and not general. --EncycloPetey 07:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Sci-fi terms
It's good that you are adding sci-fi terms, but in order to show that they meet Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion could you please add citations to printed sources where possible, otherwise many of these terms will have to be marked as requiring verification. Thanks. — Paul G 13:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

PS: Please note that citations from Usenet and other Internet sources are not admissible as proof of the existence of a term. Please see the CFI for more information. Thanks. — Paul G 13:40, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Of course they are. Note that CFI doesn't say "printed", it says "durably archived". Something that has a permanent URL in Google groups is just fine. And as noted in CFI, there is a bias toward material available on-line. Robert Ullmann 11:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I haven't actually added any scifi terms, I've just been organizing the sections. CyberSkull 13:53, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

 * My mistake on both counts — sorry for not checking. It's been a while since I looked at CFI; I'm fairly sure we only used to accept printed citations before. — Paul G 19:58, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

asciibetical order
I think this is just the adjective asciibetical and the noun order, not idiomatic in any way. What do you think?—msh210 ℠  23:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, there is the comparable alphabetical order, so I thought asciibetical order would be a good fit.
 * Hm, I think both of those are unidiomatic sums of parts.—msh210 ℠  18:26, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

preload templates
Please note that "noinclude" does NOT work in preload templates "new ..." Robert Ullmann 06:10, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Would includeonly work instead? CyberSkull 23:22, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Template:trans-start etc.
Please don't use this. If you must, fix trans-top, but don't splinter it's bad for consistency. Conrad.Irwin 08:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Template:laptops
This is a misuse of the context templates, as it is not a jargon of its own. That is, the words are not limited to specific laptop publications, but are used in general speech. --EncycloPetey 04:01, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Those context templates
Hello you. You don't have to put on stuff unless it's a specific context you have invented that doesn't already have a category. So for instance there's never any point in writing, because (i) the system already knows what "computing" is, and (ii) if you reduce it to a generic "context", it won't go into the Computing category. If you aren't sure, use the Preview and see whether the template breaks or not. Equinox ◑ 23:23, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you use 'context', it should still categorize, actually, but as Equinox notes it's not necessary to use 'context'. It saves a slight bit of server work to omit 'context', from what I understand, but if you can't be bothered to omit it, there's no major harm done, I think.
 * That said, you really shouldn't use a context tag just for the purpose of categorizing: context tags descibe the context in which a word is used. Mac, for example, is used in perfectly general English to describe a computer of a particular sort, so the 'computing' tag was unnecessary. (But there's a vote on this about to start, perhaps, so maybe what I'm saying will not turn out to be policy in fact.)—msh210 ℠  23:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

P.S. It would also be really good if you could include three citations per WT:CFI for some of the weirder sci-fi and gaming terms. This would prevent them sometimes getting RFVed or RFDed as neologisms or nonwords. A lot of these terms are either limited to one particular universe (like things that are only in one video game, I dunno, "koopa" in Mario Bros for example) or too new to have documented usage (stuff that was invented a month ago on a forum), and they don't meet our criteria for inclusion. Thanks! Equinox ◑ 23:37, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Dan Polansky/Thesaurus

Dan, I really appreciate the energy you have been putting in Wikisaurus, but from perusing your pages here I think you seem to be going over old ground. You may not have the full history of what has gone on to date. The concept of the table for the synonyms has already been tried and the result was a page with at least twice as many linkages as was necessary and about a fifth the number of synonyms in place as was necessary. Is there some reason you dislike the tool tip approach?

I've polled writers and non-writers on what they would like in a thesaurus and of the albeit limited number of people spoken to, less than 1% cared about anything except to see a great many synonyms for each word, to have no problems moving from synonym to headword to synonym and to have everything accessible without having to scroll down. They didn't care about etymology, full definitions or other languages. The 1% objection was me in that I want a strong sense of nuance that can't be gotten by the categories of synonym, near-synonym, antonym, etc.

You mentioned to me that the "ws" you've added to the header is to take the place of the link that should be on the icon. Why don't we put the link into the icon? Also, when I got here all that other stuff was embedded into the header template. I can only figure it came from copying a different template since it isn't anything wikisaurus uses. I had a hard time extricating real from extra. Do you know enough about the code to clean that?

I realize I've been somewhat slow to get the formats and the like up. Some of that is because of the scary impracations leveled at me by the headers on the pages I need to alter. The format really has been firmed up. It's just buried because of my blinding speed. Amina (sack36) 06:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

In my hiatus I diligently researched the thesauri on the web. There are far more than you would expect! Below you will find a list of the less objectionable ones (I left out porn and other special interest ones)

Time and time again I came up against a wall. There was no way to actually find the synonym you were looking for if your idea of similar words was any wider than the person who put the page together. In other words, you had to know the word to find the word seven times out of ten. The most useful site I found in those lines was [Onelook's reverse dictionary].

Hi Amina,

Your talk-page was left as a redirect to the archive; I'm assuming that was unintentional, and have now changed it, I hope you don't mind.

—Ruakh TALK 15:09, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Changes in Wikisaurus
Hello Amina, FYI, I have done some major changes in the appearance of, as is easily seen in all the Wikisaurus entries.

I have been cleaning up great many Wikisaurus entries, closely although not perfectly following the layout that you have documented in. I have modified by adding the use of  to it, removing  (that is handled in ), and added.

I have reverted Wikisaurus/format to its state before you came, and then added your consideration to it into its second half; I have updated the first part of Wikisaurus/format to reflect the changes in the naming of templates. Also, I have moved those additional semantic relations such as hyponymy to the end of the page, so that the reader can focus on what is really relevant to creation of new pages.

Should you still think Wikisaurus is a worthy project, which I think it is, and should you be dissatisfied with some of the changes that I have made, please don't hesitate to talk to me on my talk page. To be sure, the public domain thesauri Roget 1911 and Moby Thesaurus II, each implementing different concept, present a fierce competition to Wikisaurus as a stand-alone project. I see the value of Wikisaurus as a part of Wiktionary, with each project being one click away from the other one, which, if I understand correctly, is also your view, expressed by you at some of the talk pages.

I think you have done a lot to get some of the important project discussions moving, and you have breath life into the project.

--Dan Polansky 11:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Formatting of entries in progress
I would very much appreciate if you would leave the Wikisaurus entries that you are working on at least partially formatted. You can achieve this by reviewing the edits that you make before you save them.

A case in point is, where there is for instance "{{ws|nuclear family}" or "" that does not actually look like HR tag. I understand that you leave some lists of words unformatted, to be edited later, but the kinds of trivial mistakes that I am mentioning should IMHO not be there.

Thanks. --Dan Polansky 08:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll be happy to comply if you would try to do the same should you see something this trivial. That particular problem was because I had to shut down my computer quickly (thunder storm) and didn't catch it.

By the way, is there some reason why you don't include synonyms when you create these records? This file--class--was one you had accessed last and had not left a WIP marker on it. There were only about two senses and one or two synonyms per sense. Why leave it so useless to a user?Amina (sack36) 19:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I guess I don't understand what you are saying. I am always trying to leave any modifications that I make well formatted. Several times, I have seen malformatted entries that you left behind, which is why I have left the notice here. I would not bother if it would be only this single case.

 * Still, if some entry is malformatted, I do not see it as my duty to set all the malformatting straight myself. Sometimes, I just mark it using.

 * I suppose you are talking about Wikisaurus:class. My last edit there is this, in which I do not see anything wrong. If you say that some of my edits are problematic, can you please link to such a specific edit?

 * I do not leave any WIP markers, on purpose. This is a wiki. Each of my edits is a completed unit of work, in the sense that anyone can start editing after me. I find the very idea of WIP markers going against the idea of wiki, in which there are no owners of entries and there cannot be any work in progress locked for weeks.

 * Re: "Is there some reason why you don't include synonyms when you create these records?" What do you mean? Do you ask whether there is a reason why I do not create complete entries from the very beginning, creating only one sense, as I did in Wikisaurus:class? If so, I am quite baffled. This is a wiki. Entries are supposed to grow as people add new parts. Entries are not supposed to be complete from the very beginning.

 * Re: "There were only about two senses and one or two synonyms per sense." This is the Wikisaurus:class entry as I have created it. There is one sense, quite complete as far as I can tell, but then, I am a non-native. I find the entry that I have created quite useful, even if highly incomplete in that many senses are missing. I was interested in the sense that I have created, not in the other senses. If someone misses the other senses, they would need to put their resources into expanding that entry. Again, this is a collaborative project, whose parts grow as various users add to them.

 * --Dan Polansky 07:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

It was requested that I leave notification of WIP so that people would know that the odd blips and stacks of words is because I'm not done yet, not because I left it sitting in an error state. Hence the reason I was not overly concerned about some words not having the correct syntax yet. They are not there to establish ownership over a page.

Putting a word into wiktionary without at least trying to establish a well rounded work is anathema to what wiktionary and wikipedia are about and thus I extrapolated that it was what wikisaurus was about.

Your approach is what wikis are about when we're discussing people who are casually using the database. If you don't consider yourself as part of the project then you should not be establishing structure or guidelines for it. It's the casual user who gets to leave things incomplete and it's the volunteers who get to clean up after them. So which are you?

You have remarked about how we look to the outside world, using that as an excuse to alter my way of doing things. Having a single sense where there should be 9, and 7 words where there should be close to a hundred looks a whole lot worse than red letters. That you would have called putting that one sense in as complete baffles me. If you knew that little about the subject, you should have refrained from making a record at all, lest we get the reputation for being woefully uninformed. You could have just added it to our word request list.

 * If you choose any random major Wikipedia article, you will see that it has grown in structure, content and completeness, from its humble beginnings. Just get the facts. --Dan Polansky 07:48, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * If you choose any random major Wikipedia article and look at the first iteration, you will find more than the title and one paragraph generally. When that does happen, a notation is put on it by the admins saying that it is a stub and needs to be worked on before it can be considered a valid part of Wikipedia. Amina (sack36) 14:47, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Nonsense. Stubs are a perfectly valid part of Wikipedia, and editors there are encouraged to create good ones; see [[w:Wikipedia:Stub]]. —Ruakh TALK 15:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I think the general principle is that each version of a page should be better than the version before. Almost anything is better than nothing, as long as it's roughly accurate. Incompleteness is fine, as long as it's not the result of removing valid information; and broken formatting is fine in the initial versions of a page, but once we have a well-formatted page, later edits should not add malformed wikisyntax or severe structure problems, unless the editor really doesn't know how to fix it (in which case a work-in-progress tag shouldn't be included, since that implies the opposite and deters other editors from fixing it; rather, an tag would be warranted). Remember that it's fine to work on an entry in your own userspace (e.g. at [[User:Sack36/Wikisaurus:class]]) and then copy the results over once they're in a usable state. —Ruakh TALK 12:39, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually, we've discovered that it can't be worked on in a user space. I tried that with unfortunate consequences.
 * Define usable state again. Incompleteness is fine only if we're talking dozens of words, not hundreds. IMHO. Incomplete is one thing, and if it were a casual user, I'd consider it to be a stub and fill it in.  But we're not talking about casual users here and we're not talking about a single instance.
 * As for the broken formatting, I'm in the middle of fixing the page! If the page were a couple hours of work, fine.  I would leave it pristine, but if the page is taking weeks, it's impossible to always have it in perfect order.  The page stays functional, but not everything is pretty. It's the way it is, unless you want me to take the entire page out of commission for the length of time it takes to complete the work.  Consider--I've been working on one of these pages for nearly 3 weeks. That's a lot of time to have a "coming soon" sign sitting on a page.Amina (sack36) 14:47, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * "Weeks"!!! Uh-oh. That seems like a red-flag condition. Perhaps there needs to be the equivalent of a Transwiki page for this kind of thing (imported from that free thesaurus, it looks like) so that it can be prepped "off-line" and imported or picked at for missing words in the WS entry. DCDuring TALK 15:24, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * (after edit conflict) If you'll demonstrate the "unfortunate consequences" you refer to, I'll help you fix them.
 * Incompleteness is always fine. If you'd like, we can create template messages for “more synonyms needed for this sense” and/or “synonyms needed for other senses” to make clear to users that a page is incomplete.
 * I don't see why you'd need to "take the entire page out of commission" or add a "coming soon" sign; and for that matter, I don't see why it's necessary to break a page, and leave it that way for days on end. You introduced these problems on 10 October, and they stayed there till Dan Polansky fixed them on 13 October. (If this was just an accident, that's fine; we all make mistakes, and G-d knows I've accidentally broken pages before; but you seem to be saying that you don't even think it's a problem to do so.)
 * —Ruakh TALK 15:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, weeks, DC. As I seem to be the only one seriously working on it, what gets done is what I do and looking up and formatting hundreds of words a page takes time. (I found ~150 for Class) I try to work on this every night, but there are times when circumstances (October 10 being the night my 18 year old cat died in my arms) when I just can't bring myself to do it. Dan didn't fix class. I did, that same day. Dan added back an unusually long sense that I had shortened to make readable; and he formatted one word.

I don't see why I should have to take the entire page out of commission either, but I'm none too fond of what happened when I just copied it to my sandbox and worked on it there. When I tried to move it back, it wouldn't go. Somebody had made changes while I was working on it and when I overlayed those were lost. When I remarked on it, I got jumped on. Those are the circumstances I'm talking about. If I can't notify people that I'm working on it, the only other way to handle it is to make it so they can't change it on me.

The "class" action was an accident. I don't just leave a page when I have to log off, I try to leave things in a way that will be more or less transparent to a user. Sometimes I miss--usually when I'm in a hurry. Oct. 10 was also the day of the thunderstorm.

About the Wikipedia Stubs--Did you read the article? "When you write a stub, bear in mind that it should contain enough information for other editors to expand upon it." Had Dan left it that way I would have said nothing. It was totally inadequate; worse than nothing at all if you ask me. At least with nothing people will think we haven't gotten to it instead of we are a poor resource.

What is it about you guys always jumping on me? I've also noted a serious lack of response when I post at the discussion rooms (which is why I don't frequent there anymore.) Dan has been more of a hindrance than a help yet I'm the one being taken to task. I was asked to take this on and I've been pretty darn consistent, considering your past experiences. Can we hold off on the Amina bashing for a while?Amina (sack36) 00:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry, I didn't intend to be bashing you, and I'm sorry if I was or if my words sounded like I was. As I said, I totally understand that accidents happen; it sounds like we agree that misformatting isn't ideal, but that nobody's perfect. I think you've been doing a great job with Wikisaurus, and didn't mean to imply otherwise. As for stubs, I did read the Wikipedia page, and I respectfully disagree with your interpretation — but as I said above, we can create "stub" templates, which I think should resolve your concerns, yes? —Ruakh TALK 22:18, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Each to his own opinion. A "Stub" template would be fine. Now what would you suggest about the modification time problem. Having me go to a sandbox isn't adequate.  The warning seemed the least intrusive to me but if you or anyone else can manage a cleaner solution, I'll adopt it. I suppose I could make it more arcane but then the casual user would not understand it.  Or I could just do stubs for now and deal with the crossover problem later

Amina (sack36) 00:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

From what I can see, Amina, your style of work is not exactly compatible with wiki. Wikis are incremental. In wikis, people are able to take the risk and work on texts off-page if needed. Usually, the probability that major changes happen to a page that you have edited off-page is low, and even if changes occurred, you can still merge them to your version. If it is true that you are the sole major contributor to Wikisaurus, the chance of significant interference with other people should be minute. If I am in error, can you please link to such specific conflicts that happened in the past?

Each edit in a wiki should leave the page well formatted according to agreed formatting rules. Mistakes are okay, but the intention to work on an entry for weeks with the right to prevent anyone else editing the same entry, is completely against the idea of wiki. To verify what I am saing, please give a look to any other wiki to which you have made a major contribution, and please, share with us and source your findings about that wiki to which you have made a major contribution. --Dan Polansky 08:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Synonymy and accuracy
Amina, the formatting is one thing, but a more important thing is your conception of synonymy.

In Wikisaurus:class, you have entered, for instance, systematics, school, superclass, power, tabulate and hierarchy as synonyms of various senses of "class". I do not see how these qualify as synonyms of various senses of "class".

I for one disagree with this disregard for accuracy.

The entries that you are creating not only need a formatting cleanup but also heavy semantic pruning. --Dan Polansky 09:10, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Also, concerning your definitions in Wikisaurus:class, is it really true that, in one of its senses, "class is a word classification"? If not, why do I find "word classification" as one of the senses of the word class? --Dan Polansky 09:24, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Had I been done with the process it would have been accurate. In case you didn't read everything I've been writing, let me say it again. I'm wasn't through with class when you and the others shut me down. You complained about my informing people that I'm working on a page and it has been suggested I find another way. Until I can find another way (for I have no intention of going through that nightmare with the sandbox) I've withdrawn from working on any page. You can't have it both ways. Since I was being jumped for working on class, I withdrew. You, yourself, said it matters more that the page looks pretty than the words are in the right place and since several people backed you up, I left the words where they were instead of continuing to work on the project. Have at it, Dan, Class is all yours.

I can't believe you're complaining about me doing too much work! Wikis are for contributing to, in case you hadn't noticed. I'm contributing. Your way is not the only valid way. I'm really tired of your harassment, Dan. Stop me from working on the page, fine! But you don't get to complain about my "disregard for accuracy" and need for "formatting cleanup ...[and] heavy semantic pruning" unless I actually finish. Amina (sack36) 09:52, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * "You complained about my informing people that I'm working on a page". Not at all. Please cite. It is you who has been complaning that I have not put some marker on the page. I have reacted by explaining why I see such a practice not a good idea, without saying anything about what you should be doing in that regard.

 * "You, yourself, said it matters more that the page looks pretty than the words are in the right place." Not at all. Please cite. When you are editing an entry, you should leave it in a state that is (a) well formatted, (b) accurate, (c) possibly incomplete.

 * "Since I was being jumped for working on class, I withdrew." No. I have left a notice that I would appreciate if you would leave your edits well formatted. That means that I want you to (a) not stop working on the class but rather (b) go, and fix the entry. These are vastly different things. That is also why I had not fixed the class entry myself, waiting for you to fix what you have left there instead.

 * Putting content to a page that does not belong there is not doing too much work; that is bad work. Possibly, you are manually implementing the plan of taking over the inaccurate lists of "synonyms" from Moby Thesaurus II.

 * In general, please stop the inaccuracies, both in the Wikisaurus and in your talk page.

 * I don't care about the class entry per se. I do care about your overall lack of regard for quality and accuracy, though. The class entry is a good illustration and documentation of what I am saying. --Dan Polansky 10:19, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Also, if you are so confident that you know the right wiki way, I am still waiting to hear about the common practice in the wiki to which you made a major contribution. --Dan Polansky 10:47, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I said my way was not wrong. I also said it wasn't the only way. I am not about to give you access to my good name on other sites so that you can defame my character there as well.

 * Grabbing content from a site and sorting through their mistakes is not doing bad work it's doing volume work. No, It isn't coming from Moby, though their only mistake is calling them all synonyms when clearly the very real, valid relationships are not all synonymous relationships. The defamatory character and gross inaccuracy of "overall lack of regard for quality and accuracy" has been explained over and over to you.  If you can't grasp the concept that it is not a lack of regard, just stop saying it.

 * "Since I was being jumped for working on class, I withdrew." You weren't the only one doing the jumping; leaving inaccuracies is what I was being chastised for when it was unintentional, yet you 'intentionally' left inaccuracies because you wanted to ...what? Teach me a lesson? [[User:Sack36|Amina (sack36) 00:51, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Marking pages in progress
I think that the idea of marking pages in progress is actually okay. But it has to be implemented in a reasonable fashion. The Czech Wikipedia has a template and policy that makes it possible to soft lock a page for, I think, 3 days, by placing a marker template in there. The marker contains text that encourages editors, after the three days are gone, to remove the marker and edit the page as they see fit. However, three days is not three weeks, emphatically. --Dan Polansky 10:46, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * At this point in time I don't really give a crap load what your ideas are. That you can even write that last paragraph shows a self serving, overweening, blockhead that is beyond my capacity to work with.  I've tried to plow on despite the roadblocks you've put forward and it has taken it's toll on my health.  The "free hand" that was promised to me when I resurrected this project was as ephemeral as the "paint with broad strokes" encouragement. Do enjoy your new job, Polansky.  Wikisaurus is all yours.  Admin can delete my profile.

Sorry to see you go..
Hi Amina, it's a shame that things have gone wrong for you. It was great to have someone with some determination around, you have really made a difference to the Wikisaurus - even if it has felt like an uphill struggle all the way. I hate to think that it will resume the stagnated, garbage-filled state in which you found it; but I feel that all too likely with no-one to fight on its behalf. Thank you again for your great work, and I hope against hope that you will be able to return to Wiktionary at some point in the future. Conrad.Irwin 01:15, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Sandpit
Maybe meaning 1 of sandbox is the US form of GB's sandpit. I grew up in England; when I first saw 'sandbox' i did not relate the word to the children's play pit, I thought of a storage box at a construction site.

The definition seems a little odd, referring specifically to a box; I believe most people see it as meaning the sand more than the box. How about this: "A large box containg sand, in which children can play."

Perhaps meaning 2 derives from meaning 1, in that the sandbox is a place where you can play and not affect the "real world". If so, should it be mentioned?
