abducir
This word isn't in the RAE nor in my other Spanish dictionaries. The conjugation looks a bit suspect as well, but if the word doesn't exist in Spanish then that point is moot. --EncycloPetey 20:35, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

 * It’s a technical term and probably wouldn’t be found in general dictionaries. I adjusted the meaning and fixed the conjugation. —Stephen 18:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Knowing the technical definition and provenance, I may be able to find quotes. It's harder to search for Spanish verbs than English verbs because of the additional variation in form due to inflection.  --EncycloPetey 15:05, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:bang to rights

bang to rights
Rfv-sense verb: 1 cite presented:
 * "Good week for: Cyclists, after Britain's most prolific bicycle thief was banged to rights.", The Week, 26 May 2007, 615, 6.
 * I think this warrants fuller attestation. DCDuring TALK 17:12, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The OED has "1962 New Statesman 21 Dec. 897/2 - If I was making a book on the chances of my being banged to rights, you or any other punter could have 100 to eight to any amount." SemperBlotto 17:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Good enough for me. It just seemed a little weird because the corresponding US idiom dead to rights doesn't work that way, AFAIK. DCDuring TALK 17:43, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Not so fast. The cite we have would make it to be a transitive verb. But it doesn't seem to exist as a fully inflected verb. For example, I didn't detect "banging to rights". DCDuring TALK 17:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Also, pulls up just one hit, a sexual pun; and  pulls up just one hit, and it's not a verb. And going through the hits for, all of them seem to be participial/adjectival. This includes the ones that have an agent-like subject; in those cases we get "have ___ banged to rights", "get ___ banged to rights", etc.
 * Overall, I would posit that banged to rights: is simply an alternative form of bang to rights:, and we shouldn't be misled by its resemblance to a past-participle phrase.
 * —Ruakh TALK 21:18, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

With change of tense, there are three Google matches for banging him to rights and two each for her and them. It feels like a verb form to me, and the example sentence at banged to rights ("after Britain's most prolific bicycle thief was banged to rights") reads strangely if it's an adverb, in the same way that this would: "after the thief was red-handed". (Caught bang to rights has thousands of matches, and I'm not sure that bang to rights comprehends caught in itself.) Equinox 00:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Which Google? Books? News? Scholar? Groups? Web? If it's Web (and not also on one or more of the others), the hits are not at present considered "durably archived" and don't count for attestation. Also, if there are only 7 hits for something on the Web with a few inflections, that something is rare indeed. OTOH, you are right about the Adverb PoS for "banged to rights". I was thinking too much about dead to rights. Perhaps the cite should go to the citations page for that entry. DCDuring TALK 00:54, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Not heard it in this form, appears to be a variation on "put to rights" --YK30 19:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not getting how banged to rights is an alternative form rather than past tense. Right now, to me it looks juvenile. I'm sure, apparently, I'm not getting the semantics of the phrase "bang to rights" or how it can work as an adverb. Is the word "bang" not really a verb in this phrase? Maybe we can etymologically/semantically explain this thing better, also explaining why "banged to rights" is something other than a plain old past tense. -- Thisis0 19:59, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

 * No variant of this phrase seems to be terribly common, which makes the Google-counts somewhat limited in usefulness, but as far as I can discern, the most frequent use of any variant of this phrase is of "bang to rights" as a predicative adjective in sentences like "He was bang to rights" or "We had him bang to rights". There is some use of "bang to rights" as a verb, but very little; the main thing that makes it look like a verb is the existence of "banged to rights", which is used mostly like "bang to rights". Since the two are pronounced the same in ordinary speech, it's easy to imagine (though admittedly hard to demonstrate) that "banged to rights" is an eggcorn/folk-etymology/something of "bang to rights", reanalyzing it as a past participle, with stray verb uses of "bang to rights" being backformations. —Ruakh TALK 03:10, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Makes sense and I think you're right. I'm also seeing that "bang" isn't to be read as a verb at all, but rather an adjective/adverb, kind of like the "spot" in "spot on", or something like "precisely".  And, "to rights" might be read as something like "rightfully". I totally think you're right about the "banged" re-imagining/eggcorn, and the existence of "banged to rights" sure doesn't help the understanding of the original phrase. Is there any way you can cite your theory?  Also, since it was re-imagined as a verb, wouldn't that make "banged to rights" a verb phrase in wiktionary rather than calling it what we think it should be? -- Thisis0 05:05, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, there are lots of past-participle–like adjectives, either because they're actually formed from past participles (relieved:, given:), or because they're formed from another sense of -ed: (bearded:, wooded:) or -en: (golden:, wooden:). The existence of "banged to rights", used as an adjective, does not by itself prove re-imagining as a verb; and adjective uses seem to be much more common than clear verb uses. My preference would be to list it both as an adjective (alternative form of bang to rights:) and as a verb (past of bang to rights:), and tag the verb bang to rights: with . —Ruakh TALK 17:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

✅, I think. —Ruakh TALK 15:04, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:crusade

crusade
There is a usage note discouraging from the use of "crusade" for positive efforts, and which seems suspect to me. There is at least one use that seems positive, in the title of the book: "Free as in Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software". The first paragraph of the usage note has been entered on 15 August 2005.

I would just delete the usage note, but am going here to RFV, to be sure. --Dan Polansky 14:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

 * It's a little wordy, but not false. There is negative response to the word among Muslims. The definition also seems a bit too concerned with ironic uses. The sense line should mostly be about denotation, I would think. DCDuring TALK 16:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

 * (to Dan Polansky) I am wholly supporting you, since any tenebrous dubitations cast on the significance and the positive thoughts, which the crusade evokes, seem suspicious. I would like just to quote Blest Urban II, who explains here who the crusaders en effet are (many of whom had had humble or profane or even reprehensible occupations and are bestowed upon eternal prize simply by partaking thereof): "Nunc fiant milites, qui dudum exstiterunt raptores. Nunc aeterna praemia nanciscantur, qui dudum pro solidis paucis mercenarii fuerunt." (now those who were previously burglars become soldiers. Now those, who were previously mercenaries/people who are engaged/ for pennies, attain the eternal prize), which means that the crusade is a purification for the people who participate no matter how ignoble they were before the participation. Blest Urban II calls the adversaries of the crusaders "gens tam spreta, degener, et daemonibus ancilla" (despicable, degenerate people, by daemons thrall) (I thought that thrall of demons is more appropriate, but the case is ablativus) which means that against whomever a crusade is directed, he is eo ipso to become an epitome of inferiority and ignobility. Therefore I think that crusade is always positive and whoever claims the opposite(I do not mean anyone in particular), is simply not familiar enough with the works of Urban II. I exhort all to remove yonder fallacious admonition. Bogorm 16:21, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Well I can understand how Muslims feel about it, but do we need such a lengthy explanation in a dictionary, when a short one like that at negro would do? (BTW both my 1995 and 2000 OALD editions give only "positive" examples for the figurative use: crusade against corruption / to preserve the valley's wild flowers and crusade against crime / moral crusade respectively.) Or is it just an exercise in political correctness? --Duncan MacCall 19:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Now we are three different people condemning the magniloquent and loquacious, but unnecessary and tendentious admonition aimed at denigrating the noble notion of the crusade (as per Blest Urban II, not me, I am only recollecting it by quoting). May I already delete the maladroit remark? Bogorm 16:18, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, Wiktionary is not the venue for such sort of exercises. Bogorm 16:22, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete altogether? Wouldn't that be moving to the other extreme? Why not just edit it to, say, " Because the medieval Crusades were wars waged by Christians on Muslims, the use of the word crusade for a campaign on behalf of a noble cause may be inappropriate in some circumstances "? --Duncan MacCall 19:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be a big improvement. DCDuring TALK 22:23, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been bold and done it, then. --Duncan MacCall 23:47, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I still thing that the political correctness is as exaggerated as superfluous and is out of place, at least according to Blest Urban II, whom I unanimously and entirely concur with. Bogorm 18:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Can we get some References added to the entry to back up these assertions please people? †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 19:47, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Not necessarily transitive. "You know nothing about it, so you shouldn't judge." I think it's about the same as sense 2. Equinox 11:42, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Okay, I reworded the definition like this. Do I take it right no noun sense was lost? (I checked the translations and they are all for verbs, so that at least should be all right). --Duncan 21:25, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

judging by/from
Used to mean ‘if we are to judge by’, judging by/from are now used at the head of a subordinate clause loosely connected to a preceding or following main clause --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:54, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Commonwealth English

Commonwealth English
Looking through the first few pages of Google Books results, it looks like this term may be strictly a sum-of-parts phrase denoting geographic or political scope, meaning “English, within the bounds of the Commonwealth of Nations,” and not referring to some specific variety of spoken or written English language. Searching for the phrase in quotations “Commonwealth English language” or “Commonwealth English dialect” yields practically nothing meaningful.

I also see no evidence that it refers specifically to “an orthography,” rather than the language in general.

By the way, Commonwealth English is not recognized as a variety of the language in linguistics or lexicography. The Commonwealth of Nations is a political organization whose membership changes regularly. Its boundaries split Irish English in half, and encompass Canadian English, which is most closely related to (U.S.) American English.

I've only found one clear case (p 170) where it is essentially a synonym for British English as the prototype language and its world-wide variations, although here it is glossed in great detail by its author and summed up as “differs little from ‘British English,’” and indexed as “See Britishisms” (p 267). Still, this is not clearly more than sum-of-parts, to me.

I think it fails the fried egg test.

(The string often occurs as part of a longer sum-of-parts phrase or compound term: UK and Commonwealth English language rights, Commonwealth English Language Information Centre, Commonwealth English literature. There are also decoy mentions of the Commonwealth of England, or “Commonwealth, English”.) —Michael Z. 2009-02-25 20:01 z

 * I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. It certainly isn't sum of parts, since as you mentioned, it has at best a loose correspondence to the shifting political boundaries of the Commonwealth.  Rather it is an attempt to express non-American (U.S.) English in a positive manner rather than a negative manner without falling back into old view that there existed only American English and British English as standard varieties of spelling.  It probably would be better from a viewpoint of precision to replace  with  (non-US) and perhaps  (non-North American) for markers of usage where brevity is desired and achievable.  The fact that Commonwealth English is not the best choice of words to convey the intended meaning does not detract from the fact that it is used for that meaning as a PC version of British English. Carolina wren 23:27, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

 * This is not the right forum for sum of parts questions. To recap:
 * "I question whether this word/sense has been used three times in durable media" -> RFV.
 * "I know or suspect that this word/sense is used, but I don't think it merits inclusion for other reasons" -> RFD.
 * One of the good things about RFV is that it allows the citation-adders to have some confidence that their work will not be in vain; the "add some cites and then we'll decide to delete the entry anyway" game gets old really quickly. -- Visviva 03:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That gripe aside, when I was looking at the cites, it seemed to me that there are two senses in play. One sense, in vogue in the mid-20th century, uses "Commonwealth English" in distinction to both British and American English; often the writer seems to have specifically Asian and African Englishes in mind.  The other sense, mostly more recent, uses it to refer to "macro-British" in the same way it has been used (correctly or not) on Wiktionary.  Per your own and Carolina wren's arguments above, neither seems quite sum of parts to me; at least I'm not familiar with "Commonwealth" being used by itself in either of these senses. -- Visviva 03:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the references. Sorry, I thought this would be the place to confirm, adjust, or debunk the definition in the entry; I had already tried the Tea Room.

 * Anyway, I had already found the Merriam–Webster quote; since it was the one and only occurrence of that term in that large volume, with no explanation. Elsewhere it considers British English to be the language of the Commonwealth nations:

 * 202: . . . both Briton and Britisher are in reputable use for “a native of England, Great Britain, or the United Kingdom”—and they are sometimes taken to include people from the Commonwealth nations—often in contrast to American.”
 * 454: “Our only two fairly recent examples of British folks—and these both from Commonwealth sources—are of this construction:” [followed by quotations from Melbourne and Barbados]
 * 611: “In the following examples, the first three are British, in the broad sense that comprehends the Commonwealth nations: . . .”
 * 944: “It seems not improbable that the post-World War II revival in British English resulted as much from latent native memory as from American stimulation. Here, for instace, it crops up in a work by an Australian author: [quotation] In any case, examples for wait on from other parts of the Commonwealth are not hard to find: [quotations from NZ, Ireland, Ireland, England, Scotland] This quick survey takes in a fair number of varieties of British English and drops us back in Scotland where we began with Carlyle. It is really not surprising, then, that wait on has reappeared in mainstream British English.”

 * I don't believe this quotation supports Commonwealth English in distinction to British English. I think it is part of the inclusive phrase British and Commonwealth English as a clarifying expansion of British English, or an attributive use of Britain and the Commonwealth. —Michael Z. 2009-02-26 15:47 z

 * You're probably right. I picked it because it was the most recent one (and because it was the MWDEU), but it does seem like an outlier.  Will replace. -- Visviva 16:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Also have a look at my edits to British English and American English. —Michael Z. 2009-02-26 17:34 z
 * I'd say it's not sum of parts, because Commonwealth English includes English as used in the Republic of Ireland, which is not in the Commonwealth of Nations. Also, Canadian spelling is a mishmash of American spellings and Commonwealth spellings, so it's in the Commonwealth but not always part of Commonwealth English. Angr 20:47, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * After looking at the citations, I'd accept Commonwealth English as an uncommon synonym for British English. People using the word word aren't that interested in who left or joined the Commonwealth and when they did it, so it is implied to include Irish but not Canadian English.    It is unusual in academic use. Instances of the second sense are very hard to find.

 * Any objection to marking these as rare and very rare? —Michael Z. 2009-03-02 20:55 z

 * I added uncommon and rare. —Michael Z. 2009-03-03 18:24 z

I've added a long quotation from Sheard 2006, but I'm still not confident what it shows: he writes only about spelling, and uses Commonwealth English a bit loosely, but if you scan pp 164–70 it's clearly in distinction from British or U.K. English.

I thought the quotation from Disturbances was conspicuously unique in a 500-page reference work. Turns out it is credited to Wikipedia. See p x: “All entries marked [WP] are adapted from articles created by contributors to Wikipedia.org, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU. . . ”. To cite this properly, we'd have to find a revision Amnesia which matched the quotation, and cite the year it was written.

I still think the attestations are not really adequate to firmly support the two senses. At best I would combine them into a single loose definition, marked rare. —Michael Z. 2009-03-24 21:15 z

 * The Disturbances 2008 quotation originates in Amnesia, between 28 Sept 2005 and 2 May 2006. It should be cited with the first date it was published. —Michael Z. 2009-03-24 21:32 z

RFV passed. Thanks for the cites, Visviva, and cite, Mzajac. —Ruakh TALK 16:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Tea room discussion
Is this definition supported by any published dictionaries? It's absent from the NOAD, CanOD, Dictionary.com, and M–W online. —Michael Z. 2009-02-24 06:46 z

 * I agree. I once challenged someone to prove its existance.  The Commonwealth is a political organisation, it's like saying there is a version of NATO English. Nor can anyone convince me that the same English is spoken in Kenya, Australia, India, Canada, and Belize. And what do we call English spoken outside of the USA if the country is not a member of the commonwealth, such as Ireland, or the version of English used in continental Europe.  Why not just call it English, with American English being considered the other version.--Dmol 09:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Surely you mean another, not the other.
 * Claiming only two varieties of English (American and UK or Commonwealth or whatever) is just a step away from Centrism. Yes, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and other varieties of English are different. Some even have their own dictionaries! These varieties have added words from the respective countries - some of which have become mainstream, with others remaining regional. In Singapore, I understand, people move during a single conversation between Chinese, Chinese with some English words, English with some Chinese words, English, and back again. I presume some Canadians can do the same with French. India must be at least as complicated, with many languages spoken in the country, but English used when something needs to be understood by all. And this without mentioning that Scots / Scottish English is at least as old as Middle English.
 * The difference between American and "English" English is minuscule in comparison with the variation in the language called English. Pingku 15:58, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

The question isn't really whether Commonwealth English exists, or what it is. The question is whether the term Commonwealth English has a conventional meaning (i.e., whether it meets our criteria for inclusion). I don't see it in dictionaries, and from a quick Google Books search it appears to be a sum-of-parts term meaning English in the Commonwealth, and nothing more (i.e., not a recognized variety of the language, or orthographic convention, or something else).

So I've filed an RfV. —Michael Z. 2009-02-25 20:03 z

 * 1897, The Elements of Mechanical Engineering, volume 1, Scranton: International Textbook Company, page 113:
 * The parentheses, brackets [], and braces {} have the same meaning, and signify that the quantities within them are to be subjected to the same operations. A fourth symbol of aggregation is the vinculum ―――, which is simply a horizontal line drawn above the quantities affected. Thus, $$\overline{a+2}\times4$$ shows that $$a+2$$ is to be multiplied by $$4$$.
 * 1834, Mark Napier, "History of the Invention of Lograithms, &c.", in Memoirs of John Napier of Merchiston, Edinburgh: William Blackwood, page 500:
 * To Vieta is ascribed the vinculum in algebraic notation, which Girard changed to the parenthesis. The English algebraists, chiefly, use the vinculum, which is drawn above the compound thus, $$\sqrt{a+b}$$.
 * 1992, Frederick Mosteller, "Writing about Numbers", in, 1992, John C. Bailar III and Frederick Mosteller, editors, Medical Uses of Statistics, second edition, page 388:
 * In $$\sqrt{a+b}$$, the horizontal bar or vinculum is actually a parenthesis that groups $$a+b$$. Without it, $$\sqrt{}a+b$$ might mean $$b+\sqrt{a}$$ or it might mean $$\sqrt{a+b}$$. Nevertheless, the square-root sign without the vinculum is often used.

sense: thing used to group terms in a calculation

 * 1848 edition, Jeremiah Day, An Introduction to Algebra, pages 11–12:
 * When the several members of a compound quantity are to be subjected to the same operation, they are frequently connected by a line called a vinculum. Thus $$a-\overline{b+c}$$ shows that the sum of $$b$$ and $$c$$ is to be subtracted from $$a$$. The marks used for parentheses,, are often substituted instead of a line, for a vinculum.
 * 1855, Noble Heath, Treatise on Arithmetic, Philadelphia: T. Ellwood Chapman, pages 67–69:
 * A vinculum is a bar ―――, or parenthesis, used to connect several numbers or quantities, so that the whole may, as one quantity, be subjected to any of the cardinal operations.
 * Wherefore, we must, in removing the vinculum, change the sign of the number 2 from plus to minus: thus $$8-\overline{4+2}=8-4-2$$.
 * , P. O'Connell, reprinted in, 1888, W. J. C. Miller, editor, Mathematical Questions and Solutions, volume 49, London: Francis Hodgson, page 96:
 * $$A^2=(A_{1-8})^2+2\{A_{1-4}\times A_{9-12}+A_{1-2}\times A_{13-14}+A_{5-6}\times A_{9-10}+A_1\times A_{15}+A_3\times A_{13}+A_5\times A_{11}+A_7\times A_9\}$$
 * first sum the series under the vinculum, add the result to itself, and finally add $$(A_{1\ 8})^2$$

unclear sense

 * 1801, John Colson, translator, Analytical Institutions, translation of, Maria Gaetana Agnesi, Instituzioni Analitiche, volume 1, page 29:
 * To multiply radicals among themselves, supposing them to be of the same denomination, or reduced to such, the quantities must be multiplied into each other which are under the radical signs, and to the product must be put the same radical vinculum, with such a sign, either positive or negative, as the common rule requires. Thus to multiple $$\sqrt{}bc$$ into $$\sqrt{}xy$$, the product will be $$\sqrt{}bcxy$$. To multiply $$\sqrt{}\frac{aa-xx}{x}$$ into $$-\sqrt{}\overline{aa+xx}$$, the product will be $$-\sqrt{}\frac{a^4-x^4}{x}$$.
 * 1814, Charles Butler, An Easy Introduction to the Mathematics, volume 1, Oxford: Bartlett and Newman, page 359:
 * Add $$3\sqrt{x+y}+4\sqrt{x+y}+5\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{x+y}$$ together.
 * Explanation. The quantities under the vinculum being alike in all respects, I merely add the coefficients 3, 4, 5, and 1, (understood,) together, and to their sum 13 subjoin the vinculum for the answer.

sense: horizontal overline for any purpose

 * 2001, Jerry Bobrow, CliffsQuickReview Algebra I, Wiley, ISBN 076456370X, page 26:
 * Infinite repeating decimals are usually represented by putting a line over (sometimes under) the shortest block of repeating decimals. This line is called a vinculum. So you would write
 * $$-2.1\overline{47}$$ to indicate $$-2.1474747$$...
 * Notice that only the digits under the vinculum are repeated.
 * 2003, J. T. Glover, Vedic Mathematics for Schools, book 2, Motilal Banarsidass, ISBN 81-208-1670-6, page 10:
 * The word 'vinculum' is a line placed above a number to indicate a negative quantity or a deficiency. Thus $$2\overline{3}$$ is two tens less three units, that is 17.  When a number has several successive vinculum digits it may be 'devinculated' using the All from nine and the last from ten sutra.
 * Devinculate $$4\overline{231}$$
 * $$4\overline{231}=3769$$

sense: horizontal line separating numerator from denominator in a fraction

 * 1850, James Elliot, An Elementary Course of Practical Mathematics, vol. 1, Simpkin, Marshall & Co., page 5:
 * The line between the terms of a fraction serves as a vinculum as, $$\frac{a+b}{a-b}$$.
 * 2004, Gloria Harris and Garda Turner, Queensland Targeting Maths Teaching Guide Year 7, Pascal Press, ISBN 1920728287, page 98:
 * Show how the vinculum stands for division.
 * 2006 edition, A. S. Kalra, Excel Essential Skills Year 6 Advanced Mathematics Study Guide, Pascal Press, ISBN 1864410469, page 57:
 * The oldest and the most common way of writing a fraction is when it is written as two numbers separated by a line. The line separating the top and the bottom parts is called the vinculum.
 * 1982 edition, John Walker and Russell Rea, Breakthrough Maths 5, Methuen Australia, page 35:
 * Prepare the children for exercise 4 below by explaining the vinculum in a fraction.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mjunkie12. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mjunkie12~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:58, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Steveng. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Steveng~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:06, 18 March 2015 (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 aim 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.

Again, welcome! --EncycloPetey 20:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:termale

Is termale an alternative spelling or regional variation of termal? TravelAuthor 22:28, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You mean in Spanish? It does not appear in the RAE's dictionary of the Spanish Language, so it's not an accepted alternative in that language.  If you encountered it in spain, then it might be Leonese, Asturian, Galician, Aragonese, etc.  --EncycloPetey 22:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I meant Spanish. What is RAE? I encountered it in a guide to Latin American Spanish. Spanish used in Latin American varies significantly from Spanish used in Spain. Spanish usage varies even between adjacent Latin American countries.

The information should exist in a usage note, because this is a common mistake for learners of the language. You are correct that there should not be a separate Adjective section, but removing the information altogether hurts users who could benefit from the Usage notes. --EncycloPetey 20:19, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Redirects
Wiktionary does not use redirects, as Wikipedia does. We tend to avoid using them at all because a spelling can be legitimate for a word in another language. See Redirections. --EncycloPetey 23:39, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * okay, I think you're referring to ... ah I found it in the deletion log: camara. So how could that page inform the user that there is an entry cámara? Entering "camara" in the search box brings that and also câmara, but entering http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/camara does not give any hint. --Androl 10:06, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
