They are saved, most of them by their guts. A doll has no guts.

English 'bi- is a prefix' Bi, alone, is not a word, but an implied prefix. Therefore, it can be implied to mean two of anything depending on the context.

 * Not really. Bi used as adjective and noun for bisexual can be easily attested from published writings. I doubt you'd find any usage for e.g. biennials or birefringent. 86.131.98.77 19:20, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Navajo
The Navajo language entry here seems to be a mistake. For one, this entry heading is for standalone bi, whereas the prefix is located at the page for bi-. The Navajo entry on the bi- page appears to be correct. For two, the standalone third person possessive pronoun in Navajo is bí with a high tone, not bi with a low tone.

I'm tempted to remove the bi entry altogether, moving this definition to the bí page. Before I do so, does anyone know if low-tone bi might be a dialectical variation among Navajo speakers? If so, we should keep the bi entry, but if no, it needs to go. -- Curious, Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 07:18, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Scottish Gaelic etymology
Hello! Should Scottish Gaelic bi 'to be' be derived from PIE or PIE  (along with Breton beva, Cornish bewa, and Welsh byw)? I've seen it associated with both on Wiktionary (and in MacBain, but MacBain is from 1896). Associated with *bʰuH-/*bʰew- (among others): "bí", "bʰuH-" (the Irish form bí given only). Associated with *gʷeih₃w- (among others): "bevañ" and in this very article.

Proper name attested in Genesis, 14:18 and in Psalms 110:4.

The name is a nominal phrase, translating to "my king (מלך) is righteousness (צדק)". It has been suggested that the occurrence in Psalms 110:4 is not originally intended as a proper name. The standard translation of על־ דברתי מלכי־צדק is "after the order of Melchizedek", but the New Jewish Publication Society of America Version (1985) translates "a rightful king by My decree".

Proper noun

 * 1) Melchizedek, a king of Salem and priest of El Elyon

title: מלכי־צדק

Wiktionary talk:Criteria for inclusion/Place name arguments

Namespace
Has anyone brought up a proposal to have a separate namespace for place names that aren't included under the CFI? For example at Paris where we would list the surnames and given names there could be a See also Placename:Paris directing the reader to a specifically place names entries. Translations in that namespace would (most likely) stay within that namespace which would be convenient. --Bequw → ¢ • τ 20:42, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't recollect it having been suggested. A separate space would allow the distinctive nature of that class of entries to be addressed without forcing compromises on the balance of Wiktionary. Would the new namespace have, in principle, each and every placename called Paris? DCDuring TALK 23:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That namespace could have its own CFI/ELE and therefore separate the debate of "whether to have any place names" from "if so which ones" and "how do we layout such an entry". I think even unique names could have interesting linguistic attributes so I'd be tempted to allow any (with some proof of existence of course). And since sometimes the translation could change for say Paris, USA vs Paris, FR I'd imagine a list of such places would be helpful. With a modified entry layout hopefully we wouldn't worry so much about whether these are separate definitions or not. --Bequw → ¢ • τ 00:02, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. It would be an interesting experiment at least. It might become a vital part of Wiktionary. It might become a separate project. I eagerly await comment from all those who have advocated placenames in N(0) in particular or in principle. This proposal is a good way to see if there are any real sustaining advocates. It would reduce the cost of the experimentation likely to be required dramatically. Perhaps we should invite some of the placenames discussion participants sooner rather than later to this page, even before it goes to BP.
 * How comfortable are you on the technical side of this? Would it be a part of default searches ultimately? Would every placenames page also have an N(0) page with a soft redirect (via something like a definition line or ) or a hard redirect to placename space? It wouldn't seem that it should have/would need a tab visible from the headword page. DCDuring TALK 01:18, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * My thinking was that the Placename: would not be searched by default, but that there would be an index of all such entries somewhere in the default searchable area. That way people could find the terms without having redirects for otherwise non-existing NS:0 terms. More voices are always welcome. --Bequw → ¢ • τ 02:52, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Page move
I've moved this page from Place names to Criteria for inclusion/Place name arguments, because this page is only a list of possible arguments with no policy value, while I'd like to use the "good" name for something else. Feel free to discuss. In the meantime, I'll leave a disambiguation link at Place names pointing to this page. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:14, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the tip. But the template only does the date-author-work part. The "ugly footnotes" seem absolutely essential to me so as to provide real sourcing (i.e. journal/volume/issue or ISBN, etc., page number, link to online copy at Google Books or Archive.org, etc.) and offload all that data down the page in a note. So I think I'll need footnotes even with the template. 62.147.58.92 21:06, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2010-01/New blocking policy

New blocking policy

 * Voting to replace the content of Blocking policy with that of Blocking policy/new (as of this version); and to accept the content in the box at the top of the new page as a "policy"; in order to make the generally accepted uses of the blocking tool clear to everyone.

 * Vote starts: 00:00, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

 * 4) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support. I'm not happy with our not having settled on a way to indicate which section is immutable policy and which section is not — it seems like the text-that-clarifies-which-part-is-immutable-policy should itself be immutable policy — but I guess it's still better than the status quo. —Ruakh TALK 00:10, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The text indicating which part is immutable policy needn't be immutable policy any more than a statute stating "the Executive Branch has the power to enact regulations to effect this law" need also state "but Ruakh doesn't". — msh210 ℠ 16:45, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * O.K., but what if someone changes the text from "policy, the statement of binding policy", to "policy, a description of most administrators' personal policy for when to block"? We're not voting only on the specific immutable policy in question, but also on the general concept of having the immutable normative policy share a page with mutable informative elucidation of it. I think it would have been better if, rather than voting on that general concept, we were voting on a specific implementation of that concept. —Ruakh TALK 17:56, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * We just change it back :). This vote will serve as a record of what the policy was in case of disputes. (Sure, it does not define exactly what policy is, but I think Policy policy would be a little tricky to write.) Conrad.Irwin 18:10, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose EncycloPetey 18:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC) The particular version under consideration contains typographical errors and grammatical anomalies.  I support the ideas presented there, and if the vote is restarted with a corrected version, I would support it. --EncycloPetey 18:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe we could put this back in premature state while we fix it up? Razorflame 18:55, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No-one has yet made any edits that we can't make to the page after the vote has finished. As per the discussion surrounding the creation of the redraft, only the policy in the box at the top of the page is sacrosanct. If you think there are errors in the actual policy, then yes, we should postpone the vote. Conrad.Irwin 18:58, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The vote specifically says "as of this version" (with link), which is the biggest problem. We are voting on that version, which I cannot support, as I've stated. --EncycloPetey 19:07, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that is short-sighted of you, support for that version is exactly equivalent to support of all later versions (unless someone were to edit the actual policy). Conrad.Irwin 19:19, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Quite the contrary, I am taking the long-term view that (like most such pages) it will sit unchanged for an era and so want a vote to be done on a corrected page, not a draft. I think it is irresponsible to put something forward for a vote that hasn't even had basic proofreading done.  --EncycloPetey 19:23, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Every time I look at that page, my first instinct is to read the blue part as a declaration that the page is policy, plus a brief summary of the policy (an "in a nutshell" version, I think WP calls it). I understand that the intent is that the blue part be the policy, and the page takes pains to clarify that (e.g., with the hatnote in the "Explanation" section), but I still find it pretty confusing. Unfortunately, I don't have a better suggestion. :-/  —Ruakh TALK 19:14, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It can pretty easily be tweaked - it will probably want the blue box other policy pages have then the policy can come underneath it. Conrad.Irwin 19:19, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) That's certainly the way I read it too. We have never used in "in a nutshell" approach here before, but instead use banners to identify types of pages.  We'd need to enact such a change to banner declarations site-wide, rather than on a single page.  It might be better to have the policy summary ouside of a banner that mimics policy declarations, and an explicit note that it is the policy summary. --EncycloPetey 19:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Yay for not having to vote on every small change. Conrad.Irwin 19:24, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * But then, we're still voting on replacing Blocking policy with a version from before that tweak. :-P  —Ruakh TALK 19:35, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I have made further edits to the page of the proposed new policy, hoping to make the intention even clearer. The vote is on a past revision, anyway. --Dan Polansky 08:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. If the vote succeeds I will incorporate all the changes that have been made as the page gets moved (except for those that modify the policy, which is none of them so far). Conrad.Irwin 14:44, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose  -- Prince Kassad 20:52, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Abstain

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol abstain vote.svg|20px]] Abstain Dan Polansky 12:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC) I have no insight and experience with blocking, and I am not an admin, so I should think twice before taking part in governing admins. --Dan Polansky 12:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing wrong with thinking twice, but nothing wrong with voting on this issue, either. Just mho. — msh210 ℠ 16:15, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Arabic moves
The pages you've moved all had interwiki links to other Wiktionaries. By moving the pages, you have broken all those links. Are you saying that the spelling is wrong on the Arabic Wiktionary too? --EncycloPetey 02:28, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * What page are we talking about exactly? --Meno25 02:29, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * and yes all the pages I moved were incorrectly spelled in Arabic. They should be moved in other Wiktionaries too. --Meno25 02:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * So the Arabic Wiktionary also had the wrong spelling for all these words? --EncycloPetey 02:32, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Again I say, Could you give me a specific example so I can reply more accurately? I a native speaker of Arabic, EncycloPetey, and an admin on Arabic Wikipedia, so, you don't need to worry about revising my edits. --Meno25 02:38, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia and Wiktionary are very different projects. We have many native English speakers come from Wikipedia whose edits have to be revised, so please do not be offended.  If an English speaker can make serious mistakes in the English Wiktionary, then double-checking your edits should not be a surprise.  Knowing a language and writing for an encyclopedia are not the same skills used in writing a dictionary.

 * While I pull together some examples, you might have a look at About Arabic, which describes some community guidelines for Arabic entries here. --EncycloPetey 02:42, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Here are some entries where the Arabic (or Farsi) Wiktionary uses a different page name than the one you moved to:
 * أهلا وسهلا, compare اهلا وسهلا
 * إيران, compare ايران
 * أمل, compare fa:امل
 * ألمانيا, compare المانيا
 * Perhaps these are all redirects? --EncycloPetey 02:48, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply.

I am not sure about Wiktionary policies in the case of common spelling mistakes like these. Should I create a new page with the correct spelling rather than moving entries? --Meno25 03:03, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * أهلا وسهلا is a redirect to أهْلا وسَهْلا which is the same title I moved the page to but uses تشكيل.
 * إيران is a redirect to إيرَان which is the same title I moved the page to but uses تشكيل.
 * أمل: I don't know Persian but امل is a common spelling mistake in Arabic. The correct spelling is "أمل".
 * ألمانيا is a redirect to أَلْمَانِيَا which is the same title I moved the page to but uses تشكيل.

 * If you are not sure of the policies, then look for the policies and talk with people that are familiar with this. More importantly, if you are not sure of Persian, Urdu or any other language that uses Arabic script (or any other language for that matter), then you should not move those entries along with Arabic. --Dijan 18:41, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * If they are true mistakes, then they do need to be corrected by moving them. I can only recognize a few Arabic letters, which is why I have asked so many questions to be sure we understand each other.  On Wiktionary, we don't usually want to have redirects.  However, if the mispelling is a very common one, then we create a "false" entry for the misspelling, rather than a redirect.  For example, embarass: is a very common misspelling of embarrass:, so we have a pseudo-entry for the misspelling.  I say "false" or "pseudo-" because it doesn't consist of anything more than the language name, part of speech, and a note pointing to the correct spelling.  We use this instead of a redirect because it is possible that "embarass" could be a word in another language.  If we rely on a redirect, then that would be lost if we should ever have to write an entry under that spelling.  That is why Wiktionary does not like to have redirects. --EncycloPetey 03:11, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * It is not an unrecognized error. These entries were created as they were for a reason.  As far as I can remember, we have decided to keep hamzas out of titles (unless they are final or carried on a medial yā').  Before moving any entries, you should have looked through our policies and consulted with members that do deal with Arabic on frequent occasions, such as Stephen.  I'm not sure exactly what our current policy is on this, as I tend to no longer contribute to Arabic.  Please consult with Stephen before you go further with this. --Dijan 18:41, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Fine, won't move pages pending conversation with Stephen. I searched for local policies regarding Arabic language but didn't find "we have decided to keep hamzas out of titles". All I found was this: "Title misspelled: Move the article to the correct title. If there is already an article at the correct title merge any useful material on there". --Meno25 19:08, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * As for the hamza, take a look at the talk page of About Arabic and look under Guidelines. I'm not sure if that's been solved yet, or not, but the policy is not official, as far as I know.  That said, please contact User Beru7 as well regarding that as he/she is working on that as well.  Thanks. --Dijan 22:57, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi Meno25 ! Dijan is right, it was decided, for the moment to keep strong hamzas (همزة قطع) out of page titles when in initial position. If you think this is not acceptable, your opinion would be very welcome on Wiktionary_talk:About_Arabic. However, all hamzas should definitely be written on every word within every page. The same goes for diacritics. Beru7 23:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Beru7. Thanks for your comment. Fine by me. Do you recommend that I revert the moves? --Meno25 03:30, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

About Arabic
As a newish contributor to Wiktionary (though not new to Media wiki), your input could greatly improve the About Arabic page for other editors. If you would, please keep a list somewhere of issues you found confusing and for which you would have liked written help. You can compare with pages like About Greek, About Hungarian, and About Latin, which are more fully developed style pages. --EncycloPetey 03:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Initial hamza
Meno25, these are not typos or errors. Initial hamzas are usually not written in texts, except for a few minor exceptions (such as أو). In dictionaries and encyclopedias intended for use by native Arabs, the hamzas are written because it is the strict spelling, and native speakers know how and when to add them when they want to look up a word. This is English Wiktionary, and our Arabic entries are intended for native English speakers, very few of whom know how or when to add these hamzas. Most of the Arabic words an English speaker will want to look up will be words he finds in regular texts which will usually not have the hamza. We have decided therefore that for our purposes, we will use the common spellings without initial hamza, and add a redirect from the spelling with hamza. We may allow you to move these to the strict spellings, but (1) do not insult those who have added these normal spellings which are perfectly correct; (2) be sure that you always have redirects from the spelling without hamzas so that those who do not know Arabic well can find words; and be sure that you check "What links here" for each of the words that you move and fix all of the pages that link to the spelling without initial hamza. I say may, because this isn’t certain. What you are doing is inconvenient and bound to cause problems. We may have to move everything back again. And above all, be sure you check each page to make sure there was no Persian or other language on it, and to make sure that all of the Arabic on the page belongs to the strict spelling that you are moving to. —Stephen 09:12, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Stephen, I think we have made the wrong decision about initial hamzas. See Wiktionary talk:About Arabic for more about my findings and opinion about this topic. Beru7 19:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, the situation seems to be in flux and it is possible that normal Arabic orthography will undergo a change and become more fixed. A similar phenomenon has occurred with some other languages, all due to the fact that suddenly it is so easy to type these languages with keyboards and fonts that are appealing. Before the Internet, almost nobody could type Arabic and most people’s handwriting looked better without diacritics. As recently as the 1980’s, some major newspapers and magazines in languages such as Arabic, Urdu and Vietnamese were still largely handwritten (or completely handwritten in the case of Urdu), and people didn’t think computer fonts would ever become good enough for these tasks. So it seems that Arabic texts now contain a lot more of these diacritics. —Stephen 21:42, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the explanation, things are much clearer to me now. Beru7 17:01, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Arabic typographers have traditionally been taught not to put initial hamzas or any other nonmandatory diacritics (shaddas, fathas, etc.), except where they are necessary for clear understanding. If you read high-end Arabic magazines or books printed during the 20th century, this is the way they were set. It was not this way because of any difficulty the typographers had with these marks, the reason was that text flowed better, looked better, and was easier and more relaxing to read if it did not have those marks. If a word needed a single damma or perhaps a shadda for clarity, that’s all it got (never more than over a single letter in the word). But during the past approximately ten years, Arabs around the world have obtained computers, Internet, Arabic keyboards and fonts, and they are typing Arabic as they think it should be done, with academic accuracy, and it makes the language look rather odd if you’ve been reading the traditional way for some time.
 * However, I don’t think it makes any difference for us. Even if it is typographically better without these marks, if people are putting them, then that is what matters. Similar changes are happening to Persian. In Persian, two letters that must be joined together in Arabic are often not joined: ویکی‌پدیا. Until ten years ago, Persians wrote everything by hand, so this was not a problem. Now that Persians are typing it, many do not know how to keep the two letters from joining, so instead they write either ویکیپدیا or ویکی پدیا. Soon these new spellings may have to be recognized. —Stephen 02:32, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Appendix:Comparison of hiragana and katakana derivations

Japanese uses two phonetic writing systems, hiragana and katakana, which each consist of 46 characters, one for each mora (similar to a syllable). These are derived from Chinese characters used for their sound value, called.

For a given mora, some hiragana and katakana are cognate, deriving from the same Chinese character, while others derive from different Chinese characters, due to use of different Chinese characters to represent the same Japanese sound. These variant forms, called hentaigana, were used until 1900, when their use was eliminated in a spelling reform.

Kana deriving from the same character may look very similar, while in other cases they can be quite distinct, usually due to different style of writing, though sometimes because a different component was used (as in re: れ レ from 礼).

These similarities will generally not be a cause of significant confusion, due to their having the same pronunciation and different styles, but may be a useful mnemonic.

Of the 46 morae in modern Japanese kana, most (31, 67%) are derived from the same man'yōgana in both hiragana and katakana, while the remainder (15, 33%) are derived from different man'yōgana.

Note also that until the 1900 spelling reform, む and ん were used interchangeably, usually to indicate mu, but sometimes (ambiguously) to indicate syllabic n. Following the spelling reform, mu was restricted to be spelled む, and ん unambiguously indicated syllabic n, which is the current use.

Hiragana with Katakana
Some hiragana and katakana are cognate, deriving from the same (Chinese character). This will generally not be a cause of significant confusion, due to their having the same pronunciation and different styles, but may be a useful mnemonic.

In some cases this yields very similar characters: Furthermore, some hiragana can be confused with completely different katakana:
 * u: う ウ (derived from 宇)
 * ka: か カ (加)
 * se: せ セ (世)
 * he: へ ヘ (部)
 * mo: も モ (毛)
 * ri: り リ (利)
 * ya: や ヤ (也)
 * ko: こ コ (己)
 * ku: く ク (久)
 * ni: に ニ (仁)
 * yu: ゆ ユ (由)
 * つ フ (hiragana tsu, katakana fu)
 * う ラ (hiragana u, katakana ra)
 * し レ (hiragana shi, katakana re)
 * せ サ (hiragana se, katakana sa)
 * こ ニ (hiragana ko, katakana ni)
 * ri: り* with ク''ku, (handwritten)

Talk:Crusade

Etymology
More likely from Old French (if attestable) as the crux- (Latin) wouldn't turn to crois- then back to crus- again. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

 * OED: it was introduced in the 1570s as croisade, directly from French. Then in the late 17th to early 18th century, it got blended with the Spanish cruzada which gave rise to the hybrid spelling in use today. --Dbachmann 10:54, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Proper noun
It isn't clear that this is a proper noun, even in the strictly historical sense. It is a term for "a campaign against the infidels". There have been any number of such campaigns, and there is no reason to assume this is a proper noun just because these campaigns are contained within a certain historical period. It is also at best capitalized irregularly. It isn't a good guide to simply claim something as a proper noun just because it has been capitalized by some authors, see e.g. this or this. The term jihad is also sometimes capitalized and sometimes not. Does this make it a proper noun? No, it just makes it a technical term within some special field. --Dbachmann 10:54, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Derived terms
Are the derived terms correct? 71.66.97.228 02:55, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

łitsooí
What is the difference between łitso and łitsooí? 71.66.97.228 03:36, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

 * łitso is a verb that means "it is yellow", łitsooí has a nominalizer. —Stephen (Talk) 21:56, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I think a usage note giving the actual meaning "it is yellow" would be good to add. 71.66.97.228 22:08, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, it’s a verb and should be listed as such. —Stephen (Talk) 22:10, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

The question is, if used in translation between English and Navajo to mean "yellow" (idiomatically in English that's how we say it), wouldn't it also mean the adjective "yellow," in the context of Navajo-to-English translation, to avoid awkward constructions? 71.66.97.228 22:12, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * It depends on each separate case. Sometimes it might be translated as yellow, other times not. That is the case with almost every word in every language. Dictionaries give the meaning, but idiomatic translations frequently cannot use the words given in the dictionary, but need a different construction and different words in order to come to the same idea. —Stephen (Talk) 08:27, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:tsin

Also "tree"?
Can this also mean "tree"? 71.66.97.228 03:09, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

 * It can by extension and context, but strictly speaking, a tree is tsin ííʼáʼii (standing wood). —Stephen (Talk) 20:14, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Is it being used to mean "tree" in the heading "Naniseʼ (Chʼil dóó Tsin)," at w:nv:Íiyisíí Naaltsoos? 71.66.97.228 06:36, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

And is tsin ííʼáʼii a valid spelling? 71.66.97.228 06:36, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

 * The definition line under tsin is correct the way it is, regardless of its use on nv.wiki.
 * And yes. —Stephen (Talk) 06:52, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Also "vegetation"?
Can this also mean "vegetation"? 71.66.97.228 04:35, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 * It can by extension and context, meaning vegetation that is made up of trees and woody plants. Doesn’t cover such vegetation as grasses or vines. —Stephen (Talk) 20:17, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

So that is naniseʼ? 71.66.97.228 06:35, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

 * It is vegetation, but it does not mean vegetation. It means what is written there. When you ask questions such as "can it mean...", I understand that as a question about translation, including figure of speech, metaphor, and also taking into account differences in culture. When you take that and write it on the definition line, you often make a mistake in doing so. For example, the cultural and linguistic differences in it and he versus inanimate it. That’s just one example...there have been a lot of others. So if you are asking if tsin is naniseʼ, the answer is a qualified yes, but don’t go adding vegetation to the definition line of tsin. —Stephen (Talk) 06:52, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

No, you already explained that "tsin" does not mean vegetation. But at that time you did not mention that there is a Navajo word meaning vegetation. I was just concluding the conversation by making sure that naniseʼ is that term. 71.66.97.228 07:41, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

"Tree"
"Tsin" doesn't mean "tree," does it? 71.66.97.228 09:22, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Not specifically. —Stephen (Talk) 15:51, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

It says it means "tree" in the etymology, currently. 71.66.97.228 22:34, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Wiktionary talk:Blocking policy/new

Discussion
I think that it would be fair if the new blocking policy could only be voted by admins actually patrolling occasionally. Say, those that have issued > 50 blocks and/or manually patrolled > 500 pages in the last 1 year. --Ivan Štambuk 04:16, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That would seem to be unfair. I invite the few who fall into that category to correct this page where they disagree with its contents - note that, once the vote has passed, the restriction on editing policy only applies to the two sentences in the box at the top (see the BP discussion). The "policy" itself is worded to make it clear that (at the end of the day) the assessment of the blocking administrator is all that is important, the rest of the page contains explanation that should help people make consistent assessments, but, as you have demonstrated below, this is impossible to actually prescribe. I have attempted to address your voluminous comments by editing the page directly, if I have failed in some manner please improve the page yourself; from experience protracted discussions on discussion pages are horrendously inefficient mechanisms for effecting changes. Conrad.Irwin 13:34, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Given all the changes made, I'm not sure what is the purpose of proposed vote in the first place. What is being changed with respect to the previous guideline? --Ivan Štambuk 17:03, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Primarily that we are then allowed to change parts of the page without requiring further votes, as an excuse to test this style of policy page, and to remove a few of the really old things (usernames with limited punctuation are allowed, we don't really contact ISPs anymore). Conrad.Irwin 17:15, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Blocking whitelisted users or admins
". It is not acceptable to block a whitelisted user or an administrator unless they already know they will be blocked for their actions;"

This convoluted sentence makes absolutely no sense at all. --Ivan Štambuk 04:29, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not? It makes perfect sense to me. --Yair rand 04:40, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

 * It basically says: "you cannot block X unless X already know they would be blocked by you". It's completely meaningless because it doesn't regulate at all conditions for blocking whitelisted users or admins, other they saying "it's OK to block them if you warned them before".

 * Also I find the part:

 * "...or are deliberately disobeying policies."

 * problematic because experience has showed that interpretation of Wiktionary policies sometimes lies firmly within some people's subjective interpretation of it (e.g. the definition of "language" in the Serbo-Croatian context, where we're dealing with one pluricentric language in 4 national variants that some naively perceive as 4 different languages whose separate treatment is guaranteed by the WT:CFI). --Ivan Štambuk 04:49, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Innocent mistakes
"However, there are people who make innocent mistakes; they should not be blocked instantly:"

From my experience, 99% of all revertable edits come from damage-only IPs, i.e. those not contributing any real content, and not having any intent to do so in the foreseeable future. It's pretty easy to spot what is merely a formatting mistake or a protologism content committed in good faith, and what is an obvious vandalism, however "innocent" it may appear.

Also; I assume that this guideline wouldn't collide with the prior one stating that it's OK to block any IP "adding useless content or pages", right? Where exactly is the demarcation line between the "innocent mistake" in a "one or two unhelpful edits", and plainly adding worthless junk? The subjective estimate and patience of a blocking admin? --Ivan Štambuk 04:41, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Removed content
Is there any particular reason why the block duration tables are being omitted, and replaced instead with this:

"For most IP addresses, a first block of one day is used, as the addresses frequently change hands. If there is repeated trouble from a particular IP, then the length of the block can be increased."

? I find them very convenient, reflecting more or less commonly established blocking practice. They're easy to skim through, and leave much less space for user-determined speculation on block duration.

Also the guidelines on blocking IP ranges, sockpuppets, e-mail usernames... they do not apply suddenly, or are just not being covered? --Ivan Štambuk 04:58, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Chill Ivan. This is an ongoing process, and if something isn't already added, you can add it yourself if you think it will be beneficial towards helping to further the process along towards its' intended goal.  I also don't think that you should pick apart everything that is related on the page with such a critical tone.  Instead, maybe a kind and helpful suggestion would be better.

Privilegium for Vahag

 * You may make such comments, without fear of repudiation, every time a lunar and solar eclipse coincide on a Friday the 13th. Conrad.Irwin 16:59, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * *Sigh* You are not a very nice person, Conrad Muriel Irwin, not nice at all... Like all Englishmen. --Vahagn Petrosyan 17:26, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Or, more generally, every time a full moon and a new moon coincide on the same day, whether or not the full moon is a lunar eclipse, whether or not the new moon is a solar eclipse, and whether or not the day is Friday the 13th. See how generous I am? (And to think, some say Jews are stingy!) —Ruakh TALK 20:58, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I would be fine with such comments so long as they aren't directed towards another user on this site, or if it is done in a jokingly fashion against a user who either knows your sense of humor fairly well, or knows you very well. I probably wouldn't use it with too many new users ;) Razorflame 17:08, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

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.
