in
A well-meaning, but misguided translator has destroyed this entry, splitting into separate senses things that aren't separate senses in English. --Connel MacKenzie 07:58, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you please be more specific? I don't see any problems. --EncycloPetey 15:18, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The entry looks like it could use more separate senses for the preposition, not fewer. MW3 has 5 main senses (not all of them in our entry ("in" as in "in the key of" is missing) and 18 subsenses. I'm fairly sure that we don't have a lot of the more figurative sub-senses. DCDuring 01:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Copied to Talk:in. DCDuring TALK 20:25, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Transwiki:Glossary of darts
More important than formatting and wikification, this needs to be checked by someone clueful on the subject. An awful lot of seemingly random and difficult-to-verify stuff has been added. -- Visviva 16:29, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Peripatetic
User:Amgine added this tag to Peripatetic stating "Adjectival use is not proper noun/capitalized". Dictionaries here, here, etc. indicate that the word should be capitalized in both its noun and adjective forms.--T. Mazzei 18:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree. There might well also be non-capitalized use in this sense, but we have deemed the two-way "see"s at the tops of the entries to be enough. I think our users would be better off if we included sense-line references to the capitalized forms in each uncapitalized PoS. DCDuring TALK 19:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually I was requesting someone who knows more than I to clean that up, because I was not sure what was the correct response in that circumstance. Good to learn more! - Amgine/talk 22:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Re: your last sentence: I agree. I also think we should have sense-line pointers to forms that look regularly inflected but meaning-wise aren't. —Ruakh TALK 23:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't grasp your last point. DCDuring TALK 00:35, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * For example, the word links: (in the golf sense, I mean) looks like a regularly inflected form of link:, such that readers coming across it in a text are likely to look up link:. Our entry for link: should have a sense line that directs such readers to links:. —Ruakh TALK 01:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Got it. I'm in full agreement. It would seem to be worth BP discussion and eventually, if consensus emerges, some kind of non-obligatory "guideline". It might be argued that it has implications for something like the Adjective PoS for attributive use of Noun, though that is a distinguishable situation. DCDuring TALK 02:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Resolved as Rejected; the capitalization seems correct. --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:30, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

ACT
ACT = Australian Capital Territory This is listed as both an Initialism and an Abbreviation. To me it is only an initialism, but hardly my expertise. --Richardb 23:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Mostly the inclusion of alternative spelling within the sense. Not sure how this would be addressed - is this a UK spelling only for this sense, or for all senses? - Amgine/talk 03:10, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

boss
Does the sense of a bump (as on a shield) have a different etymology from the sense of a leader? The senses don't seem to be related in any way. — Paul G 09:10, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, there are at least three different words here. Now duly separated.  Widsith 07:54, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

else
Billed as an adverb, defined as a noun. (IMHO probably actually a conjunction and a mention-y noun with high levels of attributive use, but I leave that to a cleaner-up to judge.) —Ruakh TALK 18:52, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I took a swing at it and removed the rfc tag in these edits. Does it seem OK now?  Rod (A. Smith) 19:28, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

The Korean section is clearly in the wrong script. This section needs to be moved to the correct entry spelling, if it is correct. --EncycloPetey 00:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

nomenclature
How are those five senses distinct? These definitions are as entered upon the creation of this entry, in 2005.--Daniel Polansky 14:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

 * My take: The first three seem virtually identical, all referring to the system (names + rules). One sense refers to all the names themselves (all the names within the system or of a given population). The other refers to the names associated with a particular entity and its attributes and parts, arguably combinable with the latter. Other senses include a document listing or cataloging the names and the entire process of naming or instances of it. DCDuring TALK 14:55, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ I've merged the senses some time ago. --Dan Polansky 21:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

hic
One of many recent additions by User:JackPotte that isn't quite formatted correctly. The definition is ungrammatical for English, and I am not quite sure how to fix it. --EncycloPetey 18:30, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Fixed. —Stephen 14:43, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorted. Widsith 13:09, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

melken
The figurative sense of the German verb melken: is apparently transitive. Is the direct (accusative case) object supposed to be (a) that which is extracted or (b) the person or thing from which something is extracted? Also, I get the impression that the literal sense is still usually conjugated as a strong verb (i.e. with a vowel change for the past tense) while the figurative sense is usually conjugated as a weak verb (with -t, etc.). Can anyone confirm that? Rod (A. Smith) 07:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

 * The direct object is the entity that is being drained (der Staat melkt uns wie Milchkühe). I think I would use either strong or weak in the literal sense, but I prefer the weak for the figurative sense. —Stephen 14:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Stephen. Your feedback is now incorporated into the entry.  Rod (A. Smith) 16:35, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Swedish, relates to orienteer, orienteering, etc. orienteering is a participle, not a noun, btw. I have little experience formatting entries. --Una Smith 15:24, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help. Is it correct to list orienteering as a noun?  --Una Smith 05:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, it’s a noun. —Stephen 08:12, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Striking, deleted, and "orienter" is not a Swedish word which has anything with orienteering to do. \Mike 10:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Category:Spanish:Conjugated verb forms
Doesn’t follow naming scheme, and I think the title is ill-chosen, since it is totally uninformative. H. (talk) 16:05, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

 * These should all be changed to Category:Spanish verb forms. —Stephen 19:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Let's try not to be hasty, since these "all" cover more than 100k entries, which means at least 200k in the job queue plus a lengthy bot run, so it is worth it to make a decision correctly the first time. The "appropriate" name for this category, based on current conventions, is not what it was at the time the entries were generated, we ought to make sure the one that we change them to makes sense for now and for the future.  These entries have been contentious all along, we don't have a standard format for inflected forms of verbs in foreign languages, nor even within the Spanish language.  When I generated most of these entries two years ago I tried to use nothing but templates in the entries, so the formatting would be easily changeable, but that got shot down.  Since then I have had to change them all with the bot at least twice, and I am not the only one who has had to run a bot on them.  It generally takes a couple of days to change them all, so again I say let's make the right decision and not just a decision. -  19:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

 * First of all, you were quite right to try and templatize them initially. It seems that this has now been accomplished.  The current practice would indeed be to put them all in Category:Spanish verb forms, but honestly, there has been almost zero discussion on the best way to handle hundreds of thousands of inflected forms.  So, we don't really have a long-term answer.  Since the entries seem to be completely templatized (judging from a very small random sampling), making these kind of switches are fairly easy (just change the cat in ).  This happens rarely enough that the drain on the server is not of huge concern.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 19:36, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

 * This just doesn't make any sense to me. Just change the category in the template, right? Or is there some problem due to the big number of pages using the template? -- Frous 21:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is just a matter of changing the template, but the template is used by 100,000 entries, and so it backlogs Wiktionary for awhile, which makes everyone a bit hesitant to do it. I've made the switch, and I imagine Category:Spanish:Conjugated verb forms should be mostly emptied out by tomorrow, if not sooner.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 22:09, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

post meridiem
Latin entry, needs formatting. Pistachio 17:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Latinoid, yes. The problem is that, in Latin, it's purely sum of parts and not worth an entry.  It's literally "after noon", which is not a single word and is not at all idiomatic any more than English "after dinner" or "before dawn" would be.  On the other hand, it might merit inclusion as an English entry, if the un-abbreviated form can be found in English sources. --EncycloPetey 18:07, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 * It does occur in English texts, for example in these quotations from b.g.c.:
 * 1853, John Drew, Manual of Astronomy: A Popular Treatise on Descriptive, Physical, and Practical Astronomy, with a Familiar Explanation of Astronomical Instruments and the Best Methods of Using Them, Second Edition, George Bell, page 237,
 * The civil day begins at midnight, and reckons 12 hours ante meridiem, or before noon, and 12 hours post meridiem, or after noon.
 * 1923, Christopher Morley, The Powder of Sympathy, Doubleday, Page & Company, page 84,
 * We reached that amiable town around two hours post meridiem, exceedingly hungry from our anxieties en route.

A few things: Bad capitalisation, a TTBC, a definition which doesn't fit, an odd selection in the See Also section, no Wikipedia link and no usage note about (un)countable/plural/singular which would all be useful. --Felonia 14:30, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't know who added the Australian pronunciation, but it can't be right:

 * Is /a/ really used in Australian English?
 * Shouldn't the last /a/ be a schwa?
 * There is no stress mark. (It is obvious where this should go, but the lack of it suggests to me that the pronunciation was added by someone who doesn't understand IPA, which means that the pronunciation is probably wrong.) — 217.46.147.13 13:28, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

pravopiždžija
tendentious definition. DCDuring TALK 20:34, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * The spelling is incorrect. The correct spelling is pravopizdžija.  "Z", and not "ž", is the audible counterpart of "s"  (changes from "pravopis" to "pravopiz-").  "Ž" is the audible counterpart of "š".  --Dijan 04:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

— — deleted as a protologism. (By the way, Dijan, are you sure you mean audible: and not voiced:?) —Ruakh TALK 16:02, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, voiced. "S" before "d" becomes voiced. —Stephen 16:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, I meant "voiced". Sorry :)  --Dijan 23:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually pravopiždžija is the correct spelling, because *zdž cluster is not allowed and abides by something called hr:jednačenje po mjestu tvorbe :) So *pravopisdžija > *pravopizdžija > pravopiždžija. This is a colloquial term that rarely occurrs even in spoken language, but is hardly a "protologosim" and is listed in at least 2 common Croatian dictionaries. I'll see to find some quotations. For the future, please don't just plainly delete terms like this on sight, use formal RfV/RfD procedure. --Ivan Štambuk 18:05, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

 * You mean rider, not driver. It's a semantic relationship; in parliamentary procedure, it's often considered poor form (and sometimes forbidden outright) to attach a rider unless it's germane. It's certainly not a "related term", and I don't think it warrants a "see also" link, so I've removed it. —Ruakh TALK 14:56, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

tell me about it
A sloppy page, the definition is awkward, and the usage notes are rather sketchy too, e.g.
 * 1) Old man who has lost his hair and hearing and use of his legs 1: "I've just lost my hair and hearing and use of my legs"
 * 2) Old man who has lost his hair and hearing and use of his legs 2: Yeah? Tell me about i

 * Mostly needs usage example/citation, perhaps from fiction. Can then drop existing usage note, possibly add a better one, if necessary. DCDuring TALK 12:23, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I have inserted 3 citations of the type I mentioned just above, edited the definition, and deleted the usage notes. Please review and make further changes, especially to definition, and add any usage note that might be appropriate. The notion that "tell me about it" often means "don't tell me about it" or "you don't have to tell me about it" might be worth including. DCDuring TALK 16:15, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

non sequitur
The article gives some examples of the phenomenon. This happens regularly at linguistic or stylistic words. I am unsure how these should be formatted. Maybe we should start a discussion on WT:BP about this. H. (talk) 11:23, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * As linguistics experts, mavens, and fans, we often seem tempted to exempt linguistics-related entries from our general rules. Adding non-standard headings and materials is one of the prime surviving examples. One of the best approach to finessing this is to be a little creative in the use of citations. Appendices referenced in "See also" would also do, especially to provide longer lists. But Wikipedia articles are often better. DCDuring TALK 12:18, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I think the current approach at [[non sequitur]] (having example sentences that use the term in describing an example of its referent) is fine, though sometimes it's a bit contrived. Another option is an example-box like Wikipedia has (see e.g. [[w:Adjective]]); the problem there is that Wikipedia articles are about concepts, so can easily present examples of a given concept, whereas our entries are about words, and examples are typically sense-specific. (We already handle this for images, though, so we could apply that approach to example-boxes. It's not as smooth for example-boxes as for images, but it would work.) —Ruakh TALK 12:45, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * The existing approach is not in accord with what a usage example is. It allows encyclopedic content for certain entries. It squeezes out true usage examples. It shows a contempt for the rules that are applied to non-linguistic entries. DCDuring TALK 12:58, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * How is it not in accord with what a usage example is? What kind of "true" usage examples get squeezed out? What rules does it contemn that we apply to non-linguistic entries? It seems like we always try to show something in our example sentences. (Admittedly, I do have some sort of sense that there's something off about this, but I can't identify what it is.) —Ruakh TALK 15:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * The three purported usage examples for the third "humor" sense of [[non-sequitur]] do not contain the words "non sequitur". They are examples of non-sequiturs. It would not surprise me if they formerly appeared under the "illegal" Examples header. That is the "rule" I was thinking about is that we not have "Examples" as a header, it not being in WT:ELE. I had the same perception problem for the first few times I saw these things because it is natural to want to illustrate linguistic phenomona in their entry and the space occupied by usage examples and usage notes is natural. I actually thought it was you who had recommended the idea of creative use of citations to get around the problem. Maybe it was Visviva or EP or DAVilla. Whoever it was, thanks. The idea would be to find a citation that used the headword in a passage that also included one or more examples of the linguistic phenomenon. That would respect the primary purpose of a usage example and also provide the illustration that we need.

 * An example box would be a desirable format. Do we already have a template or a format for such? DCDuring TALK 15:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh! Yeah, I totally agree that the quotations under sense #3 are a problem. Somehow I didn't notice them earlier; my comment above was about the example sentences under senses #1 and #2. I've just created, which is like ExamplesSidebar but with some improvements, and tried it out at [[non sequitur]]. I'm sure it's not very good, but it's a start. —Ruakh TALK 17:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Excellent. Perhaps an even paler yellow background, because the box itself is already distracting, because it breaks with the appearance of most of our entries. Also we should have glosses not sense numbers, in accordance with our practice in trans-top and rel-top, no? DCDuring TALK 18:13, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Now that we've got a good format, we can face the substance problem. The bgc hits for non-sequitur (humor OR humour) take pains to say that humor requires something more than a non-sequitur and do not use [[non-sequitur]] in sense 3. They use it in the other senses, AFAICT. The examples illustrate a humorous "surprise", something humorously unexpected. Using non sequitur for that doesn't seem accurate. Does it need an RfV-sense? DCDuring TALK 18:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * The point about the examples is that the endings do follow from the preceding words, but not the first construction that comes to mind. Although we may find some evidence for this usage, it seems confused, confusing, and erroneous. I have yet to find it in another dictionary (OneLook). DCDuring TALK 18:47, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

The entry on the French Wiktionary seems to indicate that this is not a noun as our entry states.--50 Xylophone Players talk 22:47, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The French Wiktionary calls it a "prepositional phrase", but its gender note and both of its definitions are suited to a noun (-ish). I think the problem is not with our POS header, but with our translation, which is an adjective. —Ruakh TALK 23:54, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

ever since
Is this a conjunction, adverb, or both? --EncycloPetey 06:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I changed the entry to conjunction because the usex and sense were derived from that PoS of since. But both since and ever since also seem to be to be usable as prepositions "ever since the election" and possibly adverbs "I saw him then, but haven't seen him since". DCDuring TALK 12:45, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added what seems to me to be an adverb sense. SemperBlotto 13:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

OK, so it seems to be as complicated as I thought, if not more so. I have to agree, DC, that it seems to function as a preposition as well, and will add the appropriate section for that. --EncycloPetey 18:46, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

The usage note is not understandable. At least I cannot parse it. I moved the example to the definition, but a better one could be given. H. (talk) 17:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

A maven is not necessarily self-styled according to other dictionaries and my own experience. DCDuring TALK 17:52, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Category:Romansch language
And all other Romansch categories: interestingly, Ethnologue calls it Romansch, but SIL calls it Romansh. Which one should we follow? Wikipedia seems to have chosen for Romansh. H. (talk) 13:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia lists several possible spellings, and typically holds onto the earliest spelling of an article title when several variants exist. So the reason they use the spelling "Romansh" is simply that it's what the initiator of the article chose. Even the earliest version shows that the author was aware several spellings for the language name existed, but we've no idea why that particular spelling was chosen in 2001 for the article.

 * The current spelling for our category was chosen after examining multiple print sources regarding the language and books on languages in general. The Romansch edition of Wiktionary also used that spelling before it was closed.  The Ethnologue listing is usually more useful than SIL, since Etnologue is the printed and edited version published by SIL, and often contains additional refinement.  We should retain the spelling Romansch. --EncycloPetey 20:33, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Template:en-noun
Hamaryns has added an rfc tag to this template and to Template:en-verb with the note "HTML validator gives warnings in display table". I do not know what this means, since I have noticed no problem. However, this does mean that the queue will have to deal with every English noun and verb entry following the edit of these two templates. --EncycloPetey 13:50, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

 * That should never have been placed on the templates themselves. Removing them will load the queue again.

 * He appears to be saying that the table is generating some kind of invalid HTML; however the templates use wikitables, so if there is a problem, it is in WM s/w, not in the templates. (Is also kinda useless: what warnings?) There is an HTML div wrapped around the table(s), but this is legit. In any case, we don't need to care about warnings (not errors) not generated by the template code itself. Robert Ullmann 14:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Validates fine for me (trying various pages that include {en-noun}). Looks fine in source too, nothing odd at all. Robert Ullmann 14:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The local validator that I have moans about the fractional width values, though I'm not au fait enough with the specs to know if this is allowed or not. Conrad.Irwin 12:48, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Fractional percents are a no-no. Some browsers compensate for them, but not necessarily in the same way for each browser.  If we're going to specify percent widths, then they should be integral values to ensure proper and consistent page display. --EncycloPetey 17:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The odd thing is, while HTML 4.01 doesn't seem to allow fractional widths, CSS 1 and 2 do, so I can't see why a browser wouldn't just do for <tt>width="49.75%"</tt> what it does for <tt>style="width:49.75%"</tt>. It's not like browsers have a tradition of enforcing the arcane constraints of HTML. :-P —Ruakh TALK 00:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

language
So, the primary definition of language for the past four years has been "an expression of an understanding", which is in turn a reference to a book. While in the context of the book, I imagine that definition is quite meaningful, however I'm hoping everyone else also sees that it is hardly appropriate for Wiktionary. So here's the problem, there are quite a few translations attached to this meaning (perhaps simply because it has been the first entry for so long). It seems to me that this definition should be cut, and its translations relegated to the trans-check section. Thoughts? Atelaes 20:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I had similar feelings last time I looked at that entry, but haven't been brave enough to tackle the cleanup. More cleaning power to you! --EncycloPetey 01:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I've gotten rid of that ridiculous definition and allocated all of its translations to ttbc. However, in my opinion, we could shave off all but maybe three of the definitions.  They're highly redundant.  However, I'm just not feeling that bold.  If some langophiles feel like attacking it, it could use some help.  Atelaes 04:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm? I'm not sure about the distinctiveness of sense 2, but I'd keep all the others myself. --EncycloPetey 05:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I think two and three are defined by one. The rest should stay.  Atelaes 05:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

 * They may need improvement but they are seem distinct to me. MW3 has 6 main senses and 9 subsenses.
 * BTW, Meaning 2 refers to the generic capability of communication, but seems to exclude sign language as a part of that capability. If we are harkening back to an age when such languages were ignored, this sense should remain unrevised and a more inclusive sense added. Alternatively, a weasel-worded clause or phrase would be needed to indicate that some include and some exclude sign languages from the "gift of language". DCDuring 12:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. 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 create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.
 * Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

The English audio file is the same as the French one; a separate English one needs to be uploaded. Tooironic 13:29, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Sarcasm Reference
The reference to possible sarcastic use is redundant and should be removed. Almost any word can be used sarcastically and there is no need to explicitly mention it. It makes it seem like touché is used often sarcastically when there is no referenced literature that uses it that way, nor have I ever read or heard it used sarcastically. It is not commonly understood enough to be used successfully in a sarcastic way. Firefight (talk) 17:55, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Multiple senses
Senses 2 and 3 appear similar, except for the use of sarcasm. Since many things can be used sarcastically without that being their default use or meaning, perhaps senses 2 and 3 should be combined/merged. --anon I think touché is the same for Catalan and Spanish. Not sure though, I've asked some Catalan friends and they say it is, so I filled the gap. --anon2

Rfd-redundant: An acknowledgement of the success, appropriateness or superiority of an argument, sometimes used sarcastically to mock one's opponent's absurd logic = Used in a conversation or debate to concede a point as true, often in response to a successful counter of one's own logic. An anonymous user on the talk page suggests that these senses be merged. The difference seems to be that one is used against oneself and the other is not. Also, one mentions sarcasm while the other does not. These two senses don't seem to be very distinct. —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 03:09, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

They are, in my opinion, very distinct. One touche is sarcastic/mocking, and is also said during an argument to acknowledge superiority of an argument. Another is completely different; it's the acknowledgment that your opponent has won the discussion that is at hand. I find it completely unnecessary to merge these two definitions.
