Talk:abuse

antonym?
Does this word have an antonym? There isn't one listed. I don't know what Ab's antonyms are because only german ones are listed. The english definition says 'ab' means 'away from'. This is consistant with the use in anatomy (hip abduction, for example, brings the thigh away from the midline). So does this mean abuse means 'away from use'? This doesn't seem consistant with modern usage, but that said, what would be defined as 'towards use' which I assume would be opposite since 'toward' is opposite to 'away' or 'away from'.

As far as I'm aware with use, abuse means 'wrong use' as in something abhorrent, so perhaps there are other meanings from 'ab' to be inferred here? The opposite in this usage would be 'correct usage' or 'good use' or something like that, but I don't know what that is. Clearly both would be relative subcategories of 'use'. Tyciol 00:37, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Some antonyms: care, nurture, support, caress. —Stephen 04:16, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

sense 5
Do we really think it's valid to say that abuse (by itself) means "sexual assault"? To me this sounds wrong, like saying that 'excitement' necessarily means 'sexual excitement', for example.--TyrS 14:41, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

RFV discussion
Rfv-sense: Sexual assault; violation; rape. Do we really think it's valid to say that abuse (by itself) means "sexual assault"? To me this sounds wrong, like, for example, saying that 'excitement' necessarily means 'sexual excitement'. (Same problem with verb sense 3.) --TyrS 14:41, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. Without a modifier, I can't think of a situation where use would be that specific. --EncycloPetey 18:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't this more a case of semantics (if that's the right word). If you make it clear that you're talking about sexual abuse, you can then keep saying 'abuse' and the listener will understand. In the same way that at a soccer game, 'player' will refer to soccer player. Hence, I'm not sure what sort of citation we should be looking for. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:קפה הפוך

Discussion from Wiktionary:Requested entries:Hebrew
קפה הפוך is some kind of milk-and-espresso dish, but i'm not sure which. — msh210 ℠ 22:08, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

 * According to [[w:he:קפה]],  קפה הפוך ("flipped coffee") is השם הישראלי למשקאות קפה שהם שילוב מסוים של אספרסו וחלב. בדרך כלל בבתי קפה המונח "הפוך" מתייחס לקפוצ'ינו או ללאטה ("the Israeli name for coffee drinks that are a certain combination of espresso and milk. Usually in coffeehouses the term 'flipped' relates to a cappuccino or latte"). But the same page says that לאטה ("latte") is מנת אספרסו בתוספת חלב (חלש יחסית להפוך או לקפוצ'ינו) ("an order of espresso with milk added (weak relative to the flipped or the cappuccino)"), so clearly there's some variation in usage, at least among ויקיפדים. (And I'm totally clueless about the topic. I don't even know what these things are in English, except vaguely.) —Ruakh TALK 20:21, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Hmm, this page's description of a flipped coffee seems to match [[w:Latte]]'s description of a latte. More or less. Though it does support the view that different people use the various terms differently. (It considers those to be misuses, but we're descriptivist.) Anyway, hopefully someone who drinks coffee can make more of it. —Ruakh TALK 21:16, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I wonder (a) whether קפה הפוך doesn't exist outside of Israel and so hs no English name and (b) whether it's SoP. — msh210 ℠ 23:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

 * O.K., I've taken a stab at it; please take a look. I mostly followed the description in the first reference, because it seemed to take the most open-minded/descriptivist approach. It supports you somewhat in (a), by suggesting that the term primarily refers to a uniquely Israeli version of cappuccino. As for (b), I don't think so, because it seems that hafúkh is a sort of shorthand far kafé hafúkh, rather kafé hafúkh being redundant or whatnot. (Or have you found uses of hafúkh as an adjective in this sense modifying something besides kafé?) —Ruakh TALK 03:46, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Beautiful. Thanks. — msh210 ℠ 16:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:furth

Is there any way we can state that this word is mostly used in Scots English? Even on the citations page it consists mostly of Scottish quotes. -- Soap 04:36, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Done. DCDuring TALK 11:07, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I notice this is currently lacking the Etymology, on a quick trip here to check for any interesting details on the word. Right now it would probably be considered Original Research, but I have two observations that might help future wikieditors that pass this way.

1) I experience this word mostly in a legal (or at least 'lawyerly') context, it seems to be preserved mostly in people with a knowledge of caselaw - a well known preserve of older terms that might not normally crop up in more everyday and modernised dialect, and not just in Scots.

2) I would be highly surprised if the etymological source of the word "forth" (mostly as in "to go...", cognate with "to go abroad", in either foreign or outdoorsy senses) cannot be demonstrated as equally applicable here (though there are the occasional coincidental sound-aliked synonyms betwixt Scottish and English, proven to be of differing sources, so it's not a sure assumption to make). It even has a vowel-shift of the right kind to make it ultimately the same word under the different accents (before the scholars and dictionaries set down their own idea of how it is spelt).

But I have no immediate and rigorous citations to add on this, save for my feelings, and so I shall leave this postulation here instead. 62.64.128.36 13:48, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

ישו

Etymology
From, itself from. There are two common explanations for the absence of the ayin: It should be noted that:
 * Eruvin 53b:6-7 relates that Galileans did not distinguish the letters ayin, ḥet, he, and aleph, making the simplest explanation that this was a more accurate rendering of his name from the perspective of Judeans and Babylonians. continues to not distinguish these letters today, and Samaria is between Galilee and Judea. A pronunciation of Jesus's Syriac name  without the ayin would render "yeshu".
 * Alternatively, it has been suggested that ישו is a deliberate pun on . However, most religious Jews reserve "yimach shemo" for people like Haman and Hitler.
 * Many individuals in the Talmud are called Yeshu, not all of whom can be the same person as their stories happen at very different times in Jewish history.
 * The name is found on one 1st-century ossuary, along with the more common Yeshua.

Proper noun

 * 1) Jesus of Nazareth.
 * 1) Jesus of Nazareth.

Usage notes

 * Used of Jesus the Nazarene in polemical contexts in the non-authoritative Toledot Yeshu, centuries after the first appearances of the name in the Talmud, in distinction from used of some other Joshuas, though most Joshuas are called.

Middle English
I am interested in why you dislike Middle English sections. I sometimes add them, especially when there is paltry use of the spelling and sense in English and a different etymology section would be required in English and the only citations given are from Chaucer and Spencer (largely unintelligble to most normal users). Taking Middle English seriously wouldn't be much fun for an amateur because there seem to be so many alternative spellings. DCDuring TALK 15:46, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, the spellings are part of the problem. The other part is that there aren't actually that many words which were only used in Middle English without surviving into early Modern, and so generally I find it much more useful to see them in an English section where I can see any possible meanings which arose in later (modern) use.  But I'm kind of being facetious, I have accepted that Middle English entries are probably unavoidable and even useful, I just dread all the duplication of information that they will entail..  < class="latinx">Ƿidsiþ 15:59, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't understand. It is not a citation for the term. It is for an alternate spelling. I thought that, for English, we insisted that citations be for the exact spelling of the headword. It might be different for Old English, Middle English, and for other languages. Refer me to some place where I can learn otherwise.

Relatedly I noted that you had reverted the Middle English entry to which I had moved the Chaucer citation. Chaucer is clearly Middle English. There might also be English use of the the term, but a Chaucer citation doesn't support it.

I recall that you don't like Middle English and I understand that there is some arbitrariness as to where one would set boundaries with Old English and English, but we clearly have Middle English as an accepted language. DCDuring TALK 18:16, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi. Well, I don't think we do insist that citations reflect the same spelling as the headword; my understanding has always been that citations of alternative forms can support either the alternative form page, or the main lemma entry, which seems to make sense (otherwise consider that e.g. Shakespeare quotes would usually be inadmissable to support entries in the original Folio spellings, I think that would be crazy). As for the whole Middle English thing, I apologise about that: the word did of course exist as well in Middle English but I changed it out of laziness because I couldn't be bothered to research exactly how the word looked in ME at the time.  You have to note that the citation was actually in modern English (presumably you got it from a modern English translation of Chaucer?) so it's not a very good ME quote, indeed it's not one at all.  I will fix all that tonight or tomorrow - sorry.  My position on ME is that I totally accept it, but I only think we should also be allowed to use ME citations to support modern English words (so that that we properly illustrate a word's history).  < class="latinx">Ƿidsiþ 18:34, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello. You have created the entry as Scots, but there is at least one citation proving that it is used in English literature. In my understanding, any dialectal word appearing in poetry or scientifical works may be regarded as belonging to the formal vocabulary of the language and eo ipso no longer dialectal, but mainstream, i. e. English rather than Scots. What do you suggest? I am aware of the poet's Scottish origin, but his work is written in exquisite, immaculate English. Do you require it's use by non-Scottish poets in order to change the header to English? Is there a guideline for this? I linked the section from the TR section to this discussion, if you do not mind (since you are the only contributor to the entry). The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 20:00, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

I found an entry in Webster's dictionary (of the English language, albeit tagged there as dialect) which I added to the article. I am eager to change the header (based on said entry in Webster and citation from English classical literature) to English, if you do not object. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 20:13, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

shrieve
Hi Widsith,

Could you have a look at this entry when you have time?

(1) I'm principally concerned about my conjugation of the verb, which, when it comes down to it, I don't have evidence to support. (2) I used 'alternative form' rather than 'alternative spelling' for the verb (in particular) since the conjugation looks like it might/must differ significantly - in simple past and p.p.) (3) I'm happier about the combination of 'obsolete' and 'alternative', since (luckily) it seems in both etymologies that the alternative to "shrieve" is at least as old (the etymology is just as applicable) as well as being more modern. The entry also implies that, in each case, there has been a time in the past when both usages were current.

I couldn't find a template for 'obsolete term for', which I first thought of using.

Cheers, Pingku 15:27, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

 * We have, which is what I use for these cases. But someone should really create , because "spelling" always implies to me that the words were pronounced the same, which of course they usually weren't. The verb conjugation looks good to me. As ever, citations will clear most problems up, but it just depends how much time and effort you want to put into finding them. < class="latinx">Ƿidsiþ 15:46, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Your reverts

the a in maxim
In this edit (and afew other recent ones), you've modified UK pronunciations in ways that don't tally with my sources, but which I can certainly hear in recent UK television programmes (now that I know to listen for it). Is there a source you're going by for these, or is it experience? Is there a simple general principle for when or where this distinction between UK and US occurs that I could commit to memory, so that I know to consider it when adding future IPA transcriptions? --EncycloPetey 04:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I am following the new OED in marking /a/ for UK and /æ/ for US. This is also the UK vowel quality as described in Trudgill's "English accents and dialects" (2005). Most dictionaries still give the old-fashioned RP value /æ/ for UK, but I actually think this is misleading since the difference between UK and US  is easy for everyone to hear and it makes sense to represent it. Almost no one in Britain actually uses [æ] anymore, except the Queen. I brought this up on About Pronunciation and some argued that it was a sub-phonemic issue which we shouldn't bother with, but in the absence of consensus I am going to follow the OED and my other sources until we decide otherwise. < class="latinx">Ƿidsiþ</> 09:05, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm inclined to follow your lead on this, in the absence of any arguments to the contrary, and especially if the OED is now doing this as well. As I say, it's something I can hear, but never registered consciously for this phoneme. --EncycloPetey 17:31, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

apologie
Hi Widsith,

Could you take a look at this old edit of yours? Aside from the ==English== at the top, it looks like a French entry; but I do find some old uses of the spelling in English, so I wonder if you meant to create both entries, and kind of merged them in your head?

Personally, I know that I've sometimes typed ==English== at the top of Hebrew entries and vice versa, but at least I have the courtesy to do it with languages where the alphabet gives away the game! :-P

Anyway, if you could fix up this entry to how you meant it to be, I'd appreciate it. :-)

IPA of suite

 * It's not easy to explain. The is a palatal approximant, which means that as well as the lips pursing (like with [w]), the middle of the tongue approaches the roof of the mouth. One way to think of it might be that  is to  as [w] is to [u]. Although strictly speaking that probably isn't a good scientific way of describing it. < class="latinx">Ƿidsiþ</> 12:33, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Help:Writing definitions
You are one of our best writers of definitions. Could I convince you to take a look at Help:Writing definitions and improve, rewrite, or augment it.

We may also need or benefit from something more "technical", something like a dictionary style (not format) manual for definitions.

 * Haha. Well, I have seen this page growing recently, and I agree with most of what it says – it's a really good start. From my point of view, the best way to write a definition is to start with several examples of the word being used and to try to explain them. That usually shows up most of the problems with what you think it means.

No "Arabic letters" cat
Why is there no "Arabic letters" category, while there is a Category:Pashto letters? 71.66.97.228 08:01, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

 * That would be Category:Arabic alphabet. —Stephen 05:38, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, this is the talk page for that category. However, why is there a Category:Pashto letters when there is not one for Arabic? Shouldn't it be consistent for all languages (especially those using a very similar script)? 71.66.97.228 07:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Category:Phoenician alphabet
None of these conform to the standard category structure. The contents are mostly stuff that should either be in Category:(script) characters, Category:(language) letters, or Category:(language) letter names. These should be orphaned and deleted. --Yair rand (talk) 05:50, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes they're a mix of script characters and English names for the characters. If you want to move the contents I think you'd be doing us a favor. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:25, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Where the same name is used to refer to both the language and the script (which is most of those that you listed), it's pointless to duplicate categorization. When the script is more general (e.g. Cyrillic) it makes sense to sub-categorize the subset used for a particular language (Ukrainian). Similarly: letter names are script- and not language-based, and should be grouped in separate categories only if it makes sense to do so (e.g. if there are 2 languages using the same script, with the same letters having different names in English, which I don't exist, at least not different enough). --Ivan Štambuk 09:20, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

 * The English entries were easy- they were already in Category:en:Arabic letter names, so I just deleted the Category:Arabic alphabet. The others were made very difficult because they're not independent letters, so they aren't clickable on the category page. I managed to find them by a combination of entering them manually into the search box and finding them in Appendix:Unicode/Arabic, then clicking the links there. I made sure they were all in Category:Arabic diacritical marks and deleted the Category:Arabic alphabet. Done. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:00, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:American-born Chinese

For Citations:American-born Chinese

Didn't really know where to list this. Do we keep the citations page even when the main space page has failed rfd? Mglovesfun (talk) 10:37, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Absolutely, as long as the content is accurate we want to keep all Citations pages. The fact that a page got RFDed means that it doesn't meet the CFI at the moment, that doesn't mean it won't in the future and the Citations pages are meant to be a resource to help with that determination. -  14:27, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently we "always" delete orphaned talk pages too, which I'm not for either because the information might be relevant if someone wants to know why it was deleted. Plus Ruakh must think the same, as he's archived discussion of deleted articles to talk pages, which I would be for. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:40, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Further, I was under the impression that all citations of any deleted entry or sense were to go into citations space for that headword. It may be that at some time in the future we will find it worthwhile to reconsider, but a record of the effort at attestation is worth preserving in Talk and Citation spaces, IMHO. The citations might even be useful as preformatted citations for other terms. At present we would have significant difficulty in attempting to infer our inclusion rules from our actual choices since the most important part of the record (deletions) is not systematically indexed, except by the transclusion of the template used to box the deletion decision. That only occurs for senses, not for headwords, under our normal practice, as I understand it. DCDuring TALK 17:29, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No skin off my nose, I just nominated it as I didn't know whether to go to the Beer Parlour, or here. May as well keep it. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:47, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Re: "Apparently we 'always' delete orphaned talk pages too": Not exactly. The main purpose of a talk-page is to discuss how to improve an entry. Once the entry is deleted, that purpose is gone, and if that's what the talk-page is about, then we can delete it. But when an entry has failed RFV or RFD, the talk-page serves a different purpose: presenting the history, so that later readers can see why it was deleted, and judge whether that's still applicable. (For example, an English word might fail RFV, but a later reader might want to create an entry for a French word with the same spelling. Without the talk-page archiving, a non-admin would have no way of knowing that that's O.K., because (s)he'd have no way of knowing that it was the English word that failed RFV.) —Ruakh TALK 15:56, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's being used as an actual citations page, it contains valid citations of the headword, it doesn't include a definition or anything — no reason to delete. —Ruakh TALK 15:56, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Duplicate at Citations:American-born and Citations:Chinese (adjusting bolding) then delete. If it's sum of parts, then so is the Citation. SemperBlotto 16:00, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Mongolic language

Another one that, IMO, needs to be listed separately. It's not a specific language but the name of a group of languages. Hence keep. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:29, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Been here 20 days now, and nobody knows why it's been nominated for deletion. Move to keep in absence of a reason to delete it. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:47, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Kept, for that reason. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:40, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Mongolic language
Even if it weren't sum of parts, it is a plural-only term. -- Prince Kassad 23:59, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Right. Trickier than it first appears. This passed rfd earlier when msh210 tagged it and didn't list it, so I listed it asking 'why is this here' and after nobody replied, I closed the debate. We also have Romance language which I voted to keep, but in fairness I think I was wrong. Romance language is essentially sum of parts as long as you have the proper meaning of Romance. So... delete and make sure Mongolic covers it. Mglovesfun (talk) 00:35, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. But how is it a "plural-only" term? There appears to be hits for "is a Mongolic language" on Google. ---> Tooironic 07:38, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I err on the side of keep. I do not think that the scope of "Mongolic language" is immediately clear from the definition of "Mongolic", other than the definition "Mongolic"--"Of or relating the group of Mongolic languages", which in its turn relies on "Mongolic language". In fact, the current definition "Any of a group thirteen of languages spoken in Central Asia" seems a stopgap one, as I cannot determine based on what characteristics the languages belong to that group. --Dan Polansky 08:56, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This is because Mongolic was missing a sense, which I have now added. -- Prince Kassad 09:39, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You have added "Mongolic"--"A major language family spoken primarily in Mongolia and surroundings". Can you add any quotations that support this definition? Should "Mongolic language" be construed as the noun "Mongolic" attributively modifying the noun "language"? That seems improbable, to me anyway. Rather, it seems that if "Mongolic" can be attested as a noun, this is back-formed from "Mongolic language". I have no evidence to support this hypothesis, though. --Dan Polansky 09:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

It is rather easy actually. Cf. 1999, Roger Blench, Archaeology and Language II: Archaeological Data and Linguistic Hypotheses, Volume 2, p. 203:
 * Similarly, there are indications that Mongolic and Turkic can be identified with the ethnic categories of Donghu and Xiongnu, respectively,

...or, if you want something else, see 2000, Barbara Unterbeck, Gender in grammar and cognition, p. 700:
 * Apart from their significance as manifestations of class and gender in the languages of North Asia, the class suffixes in Mongolic and Tungusic have also many other consequences to the understanding of the diachrony of these languages.

-- Prince Kassad 10:08, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Per Tooironic, not plural-only. Delete as SOP. —msh210℠ (talk) 01:53, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * What is the definition of "Mongolic" with respect to which this is SOP? --Dan Polansky 09:20, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Adjective, "of or related to Mongolic a language family" (which refers back to the proper-noun sense, "A particular language family"). Or possibly the sense here is just the proper-noun sense itself (in attributive use)? Not sure how to distinguish them when the word is modifying a noun. —msh210℠ (talk) 16:02, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:anatomical atlas

An atlas of anatomy. --EncycloPetey 17:53, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Delete Jamesjiao 09:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Knowing the user in question, he's probably created this just for the unusual plural. But hard to judge if it's SoP without a definition. But usually definitionless words get a speedy delete. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:54, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, I created this (and others) to demonstrate the need for /, not for the plural (however, I don’t entirely criticise as unrealistic your inference, Mglovesfun). At the time, I didn’t have the time to give these terms proper entries, hence the , , , &c. I don’t agree with speedy-deleting definitionless words (that would turn Category:Definitionless words into a  category); often the entries in question are for valid terms and contain other useful content (such as, as the category states, “other dictionary-related content, such as translations, synonyms, or attributions”, as well as citations, etymologies, pronunciatory transcriptions, lists of related terms, &c.). As for , it is now defined (&c.) . It is idiomatic because it shows “a thing’s inner workings” and because “its elements [are intentionally] splayed”, neither of which are facets of meaning that inhere to  or . †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 15:47, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * All your quotes pertain to human anatomy, not "a thing's inner workings". I still don't see how an anatomical atlas is any different from an atlas of anatomy.  I've seen many example of both and consider the difference merely a matter of wording. --EncycloPetey 15:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I’ve added a 1904 citation of use pertaining to vegetable powders. An anatomical atlas showing only the human epidermis would be a bit limited in its utility. Again, undefined: is idiomatic because it refers to a conspectus that shows “a thing’s inner workings […whose] elements [are intentionally] splayed”, which is not the case for a normal (i.e., geographical) atlas. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 16:45, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't think you've fully addressed EP's points; if it's true that "atlas of anatomy" has, or can have, the same sense, then it seems that "anatomical atlas" is SOP, and we need an appropriate def at [[atlas]]. (Our current sense #2, "A bound collection of tables, illustrations etc. on any given subject", may be what we need; or, we may want a specific def for this type of atlas.) —Ruakh TALK 18:59, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * But what if that sense only occurs in conjunction with, , or similar? †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 19:08, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * How similar? And in how close conjunction with? For example, if I'm talking about references I used in an anatomy class, could I refer to one as an "atlas" with no "anatomy"-like word in the same sentence? If such usage is really quite rare, then it might make sense to keep this entry, but have one sense of [[atlas]] be something like "Specifically, an anatomical atlas." —Ruakh TALK 21:09, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * @ User:Doremítzwr: The "inner" part is the result of treating anatomy. That's what anatomy is all about.  As Ruakh points out, there are plenty of other kinds of atlases.  I can find multiple examples of "skeletal atlas", "cerebral atlas", "economic atlas", "social atlas", "historical atlas", "linguistic atlas", "military technical atlas", etc. --EncycloPetey 21:17, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Both and  are used independently, but this doesn’t mean that  ought to be deleted. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 20:22, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Correct, but not for the reasons you've implied. The term deus ex machina is a set phrase borrowed wholesale from Latin theatrical texts, and so isn't really an analogous case to this one. --EncycloPetey 20:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Hmm. If this entry is to be deleted, how will the content currently presented at be accommodated at ? †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 21:10, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

 * In at least two ways: (1) ensure there is a definition of atlas suitably written to encompass this idea, (2) include example sentences and/or quotations in which the combination anatomical atlas appears. --EncycloPetey 21:12, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Done. If that’s OK with you, feel free to delete the entry for . †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 22:05, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Would that it were as simple as that! Any English participle form presumptively can be used as an adjective. DCDuring TALK 13:30, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, exceeding: is certainly an adjective - and I've just added such a meaning. SemperBlotto 08:18, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete this sense. It serves no purpose as the other two definitions describe the word perfectly well. I think it's an 'either or' case. Either keep the first definition and delete 2,3 (which I object to) or keep 2 and 3 and delete 1. On a side note, I have seen 'exceeding' used frequently in literary works. For example, a day of exceeding heat. My two cents. Jamesjiao 09:15, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

As for myself, capital city is more common by several orders of magnitude than equivalents using various synonyms of city such as capital town or capital municipality, so I could see the case for deletion either way. — Carolina wren discussió 21:26, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

RFD discussion: April–October 2020
RFD'd once before, but kept with one vote two votes. This is arguably just Romance (see the senses on that page) + language, and in that sense, not any less SOP than Germanic language, Italic language, whatnot. Also note related discussion at Requests for deletion/Non-English. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 22:59, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I think the big question is, which came first? Did the adjective "Romance" come from "Romance language", or did it have its current sense (rather than just "related to Rome") when it was used to describe languages? If "Romance" as an adjective in the current sense came before "Romance language", the latter should be deleted. Otherwise, it should be kept. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 02:50, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It's going to be difficult to determine - the etymology of Romance says that the term was extended for all languages derived from Latin, but not whether this was due to use in Romance language. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 10:09, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

 * of 1819 has an entry “, Romant, Romanic, or Romance, the polite language formerly ſpoken at the court of France”. After calling French ”only an improvement” (!), the rest of the text gives a more general meaning to the term Romance, mentioning Tuscan, Spanish, “the Romanſh language” spoken “near the ſources of the Rhine and the En”, and Provençal. This suggests that the use of the single term Romance as a noun preceded that of the attributive use for the language family. However, from reading the rambling and not particularly clear full entry, too long to reproduce here, I have the impression that the author thinks that Romance was one specific language that emanated from the French court and spread from there to Spain and Italy, were it was corrupted instead of improved as in France. Only two years later published his Grammaire comparée des langues de l'Europe latine, in which he explicitly formulated the theory that what we now call the Romance languages were derived from a common post-Latin language. The present view that all in their own way derive from Latin – in other words, that Latin was the most recent common ancestor, and not a hypothetical ancestor dubbed “Romance”, was put forward by  in his 1835 book An Essay on the Origin and Formation of the Romance Languages, in which he writes, “M. Raynouard, however, constantly applies the name of Romance to the language of the Troubadours: and M. Champollion-Figéac, who has since discussed this subject, adheres to his use of the word, and makes the Romance language a common term for the dialects of Provence, [...], and Catalonia. [...] I shall attempt to show that although the ancient language of oc, the language spoken in Southern France and Catalonia, was a Romance language, it was not the Romance language: that it was merely one of the dialects arising out of the change produced in the Latin by the Teutonic invasion.” (pp. 56–57.) A footnote on page 57 points out that  had already observed that the term Romance in its widest sense had been used for any dialect based on Vulgar Latin. In conclusion, the situation is unclear. The current sense of the term Romance language arose of a reappraisal of the meaning, originally being a SOP of attributive Romance (a putative language being a descendant of Latin and the common ancestor of French, Spanish and Italian). After the change of meaning, is it still an SOP? The first component cannot be Raynouard's Romance, but it could be Ellis's. In that case the meaning is not the one we list for the noun (a group of languages), but instead “ any language derived from Vulgar Latin”. But then it is slightly unnatural to keep using (as Lewis does) the forms a Romance language and the Romance languages instead of simply a Romance and the Romances – just like we do not say a patois language or the dialect languages. Therefore I lean towards inclusion. I’d like to see the attestation for the 17th-century date given at Romance; based on the preceding, it appears unlikely that the term had already then the collective sense of our definition.  --Lambiam 12:09, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I would guess that the attributive noun came first, but I don't know if it really matters. I usually figure that compound entries like oak tree, tuna fish, &c. are unnecessary when they are really not idioms that cannot be understood by the components. But I realize I'm in the minority. -Mike (talk) 17:36, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep and review CFI on this issue, if necessary. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:36, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I thought that we only kept countries, primary regions, and capitals thereof. We have CFI, which this does not meet. We supposedly had a consensus to ignore CFI for certain places. Under AGF, I must assume that a new consensus has emerged or that SB and MG have had a lapse of memory. It can't be that both CFI and the consensus are being ignored, can it? DCDuring TALK 13:18, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I'd quite like to see evidence of this consensus. Anyway, unfortunately this is one of the areas of the CFI that's never been implemented, and as I say, I'm against proposing stuff like this on WT:RFV as our rules are totally unusable, so it will just come down to a vote anyway. Would you want Leeds and Bradford to get deleted as well? Mglovesfun (talk) 10:47, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

 * My memory (such as remains at my age) is that several votes have been started on this subject, and all have deteriorated into slanging matches about what should be voted on. I'm pretty sure that no consensus has ever been reached. SemperBlotto 10:52, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe (memory-gap-concealing weasel word) that EP (and Ruakh ?, Visviva ?, DAVilla ? [more weaseling]) had asserted that there had been a consensus on this when I had challenged some city entry (perhaps Rostov-na-Donu?). Even a merely temporary consensus on a contentious topic should be documented. If it cannot survive the effort to do so, then there must not be a real consensus. The difficulty is that in the absence of a consensus for something other than CFI, CFI seems applicable. It is difficult to wantonly ignore CFI without undermining its legitimacy for justifying some patrolling decisions.
 * I'd be willing to sweep this under the rug for another few months. But I would like to know whether this even meets the asserted consensus criteria. DCDuring TALK 16:24, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:expedición de pescando

This must be wrong. "Expedición de pescando" gets only two hits in Google, both for Wiktionary. Grammatically correct wording would be expedición de pescado, but I could not find evidence of it being used in the sense defined in the entry (non-specific search for information). In one Spanish article it meant "shipping of fish". I would recommend delete for this, move the content to expedición de pescado (or possibly expedición de pesca) and put that to rfv. --Hekaheka 09:40, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * pescar also means, as in English, to fish, or search, for information. I will add the definition. -- A LGRIF  talk 12:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC) But the entry itself should be deleted in my opinion as being completely incorrect. -- A LGRIF  talk  12:59, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess since two people say it is incorrect, that it should be deleted. You can delete it now as an author request deletion if you'd like as I am fine with it being deleted.  Sorry for making an incorrect entry!  Razorflame 20:23, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks malformed to me. The correct term would be "expedición de pesca".  "Expedición de pescando" would literally translate to "expedition of fishing", but even "pescando expedición" would not work.   AugPi 01:19, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

 * On its face, it seems from the article that the corrected term is at best a neologism in Spanish in the idiomatic sense of "fishing expedition". In that sense, does the term appear in any Spanish dictionary or is it attestable? DCDuring TALK 16:56, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Can't the software accommodate the two different characters by substitution?
 * Except for the entries for the characters themselves and things that directly link to them, why should we care?

 * Very strong keep. These are created to allow for interwikis, because some Wiktionaries (or at least one) uses only the 'typographical' apostrophe (fr:wouldn’t’ve). So even though they might be unlinked on here, other Wiktionaries are linking to them. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:40, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
