Talk:ranching

ranching
Adjective and noun senses
 * Move to RFV. There does seem to be a countable sense of ranching which we lack, meaning either a ranch, a farming area or something similar, evidence by a couple of valid hits for ranchings. Some of those hits are scannos or not English. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:55, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think more than 2 are "valid" (not, eg, scannos that missed an apostrophe). The really seem mistaken. DCDuring TALK 02:50, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep this is used.Lucifer 03:37, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

 * I've deleted the adjective section. I am looking in to the noun. - -sche (discuss) 00:29, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

 * A countable sense, which I interpret as meaning "ranch" but which I would welcome a better def of, is now attested. Should we, therefore, keep the sense "The process or act of operating or working on a ranch", or not? - -sche (discuss) 01:25, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * How about "the business or activity of operating a ranch"? DCDuring TALK 03:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've changed the def to that (and added to it ", of farming or raising livestock"). To clarify why I'm asking: it does seem that that sense is merely the gerund of "ranch"; is having another sense (namely "a ranch") enough to cause us to keep the gerund as a noun? - -sche (discuss) 03:14, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd let it stay, not because it is actually a meaning distinct from the -ing form, but because inevitably someone will add a similar sense. At least this is worded adequately. DCDuring TALK 13:21, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * If we do not permit such nouns then extant plurals (ranchings, sneezings) cannot be added in the standard way, since there is no noun entry for them to be the plural of. Equinox ◑ 13:26, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * We are going to have a noun entry with the uncommon sense "ranch" anyway, so that isn't the issue here. OTOH, for the general case your comment applies. Just spitballing here: We could use a non-categorizing version of in the inflection line for the verb PoS of -ing forms where there is no semantic reason (eg, a distinct sense) to have a noun PoS section. DCDuring TALK  13:39, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Kept for no consensus.--Jusjih (talk) 10:36, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, for the record, kept per consensus. - -sche (discuss) 22:19, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Wiktionary talk:Votes/pl-2012-03/Minor ELE fix

Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2012-03/Minor ELE fix
I think we need to back away from the idea that every small uncontroversial improvement to a policy page requires a vote. I don't think that idea was ever approved by a vote, and it's detrimental in that (1) it makes it harder to follow the votes that actually matter, (2) it deters numerous small improvements that can greatly improve a page over time, (3) it promotes dissonance between policy pages and actual enforced policy (since, despite our best and worst intentions, the policy we enforce evolves faster than the policy we document), (4) it shows the rest of WMF that we are really incapable of functioning as a wiki. —Ruakh TALK 21:41, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep AKA oppose deletion. Creating the vote was no work at all. While (1) is true, I find (2), (3) and (4) implausible. Performing minor changes to ELE without a vote does not fix the problem of outdatedness of policies, exactly because minor changes are just minor. For those who love to change ELE without a vote, there is Entry_layout_explained/Editable. --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:49, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I think 2 is correct, 3 is very likely correct, and 4 is at least plausible. —msh210℠ (talk) 22:27, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Dan Polansky's "Quickly started and quickly completed via a lean process that is at the same time formally clean." By the way, the idea of changing the rule from "It should not be modified without a VOTE" to "It should not be modified without discussion and consensus. Any substantial or contested changes require a VOTE." was voted in Votes/pl-2009-03/Removing vote requirements for policy changes. --Daniel 22:00, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Daniel Carrero that that vote stands until such a time as it is overturned. Having said that, it failed by less than 1%, I think a rerun would have a legitimate chance of success. Ergo keep this. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:03, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Since RU's in heaven now, this would pass were it to rerun with the exact same votes. So it's worth a try. -- Liliana • 22:08, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * But then one of its supporters was Wonderfool. And I didn't vote, it was a little before my time. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:30, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. For better or for worse, this seems to be the policy. (I voted for it, too, in the above-linked-to vote. So sue me.) While I'm in favor of ignoring that policy in this case (which is why I suggested that the ELE change this vote is over should go through without a vote), if someone wants to stand on ceremony then I think he has the right to call for a vote. (Incidentally, note that a number of organizations have in their bylaws that certain votes can be voice acclaim but that any one voting member can by requesting it require a secret ballot.) —msh210℠ (talk) 22:27, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Important note: I've now, long-belatedly, passed the vote that Daniel Carrero links to above, and updated accordingly. —Ruakh TALK 22:44, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Darn, why didn't I think of that. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:48, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I . . . I actually don't think I should have done it, and it's to your credit that you didn't think of it. There should probably be a statute of limitation on closing dubious votes; or at least, the vote should be re-opened for new members of the community to add their votes (and old members of the community to change their votes). If anyone undoes my having-passed it, I'll understand. I just got really annoyed with the comments above that implied that the vote had failed and the VOTE-for-everything wording thereby sort-of-approved. (This is probably also how Dan Polansky feels when he tries to remove something from CFI that was never voted on and seemingly never had consensus, when there's also no clear consensus for removing it.) —Ruakh TALK 22:58, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I seem to think I have considered it in the past, and not done it. Still, I don't think you were wrong to do it per se, as there are three options; close it as passed, close it as failed, never close it ever. To me, they're all equally bad. Does anyone have a preference for which is the least bad? I lean towards Ruakh's solution of closing it as passed. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:09, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd agree actually. -- Liliana • 23:14, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * This is why with one vote I created, I stipulated a minimum pass percentage of 60%, which was removed (justifiably) because when there's a numerical requirement, there's really no room for debate whether something has passed or not. The system of letting whichever admin gets there first to decide whether a vote has passed or failed is madness, and I'm amazed it hasn't been challenged before. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:22, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I did:

 * unpass Votes/pl-2009-03/Removing vote requirements for policy changes
 * create Votes/pl-2012-03/Vote requirements for policy changes

--Daniel 23:11, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Did you maybe mean 2012-03 rather than 2009-03? Because it seems sort of strange to bring over the date from the old vote, but nothing else. —Ruakh TALK 23:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes please use the current date. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:19, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed and edited my message. "2009-03" was in the name of my 2012 vote by mistake. Thanks for letting me know. --Daniel 23:44, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

 * In the time since I proposed my own vote on minor policy changes, I've come to share the opinion of Ruakh and Davilla that votes on minor changes are tedious, overly bureaucratic and unnecessary. Still, I fundamentally oppose RFD-"votes" on the deletion of active policy votes... that just seems like taking a shovel and digging deeper into the rabbit hole. I think starting a new vote is a good idea. - -sche (discuss) 00:11, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:stealer

Perhaps not non-standard when referring to certain malware, e.g. "a password stealer". Equinox ◑ 16:45, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Whose cockamamie idea was "non-standard" in the first place? My Webst Coll & Amer Herit both list it without def, or further comment, following the verb's entry. The only sense i can make out of "non-s" is that "thief" is shorter, and it strikes me that "thief" has a connotation of "thief by trade" (or "... as a long-standing practice", as in The Book Thief) while "stealer" suggests either metaphor or a single or infrequent transgression:
 * wife-stealer (About 450,000 results) chicken-stealer (About 280,000 results) child-stealer (446,000 results child-stealer gypsy OR gipsy -"Child Catcher" ( 1,660,000 results)
 * --Jerzy•t 06:42, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

 * "Stealer" is not standard unless in combination (e.g. your "child-stealer" example). You wouldn't say that the police had arrested a stealer, but a burglar or thief. Equinox ◑ 13:30, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks; agree that your retort "unless..." is well founded, and i like your solution. :)  (And why don't our commercial colleagues i cited deal with it in your sensible way?!) --Jerzy•t 03:07, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Cited. Hope this is OK. — Xavier, 02:59, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

 * I only like the Konrath quotation. The first use is actually on page 105, but it's also a bit ambiguous. Shipside might also be okay, but Ollila indicates it's a recording device. None of the others are even close, in my opinion. DAVilla 03:52, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I don't get it. I have the feeling you are only discussing sense #3. For the record, sense #1 and #2 were the only ones that were originally challenged by this RFV. Sense #3 was added by me because I found usages (as a device) that wasn't matching #1 and #2.
 * Anyway, I see no problem discussing sense #3 here. You say that Ollila uses the word as a recording device. I agree. But, as the other two citations, it matches the definition I gave for sense #3: "A MiniDisc player or recorder". So, where is the problem exactly with sense #3? And what about senses #1 and #2 that were originally submitted for verification? — Xavier, 09:43, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Oh, I didn't know the third sense wasn't challenged (or perhaps I should say, that it hasn't been yet). Sorry, I had just assumed it was.
 * Yes, I read the quotes for all three. For those first two definitions as well, my opinion is that the quotations don't meet CFI. The Ollila excerpt is correctly categorized but doesn't count as one of three needed citations that use the term without clearly indicating what the product is, per WT:BRAND.

 * How long we'll be waiting? No one gave them a definition for over a year. They're not even "words" but phrases. What definition should they have? "XYZ Sign Language is a language of the deaf used in XYZ country"? Even with such definition they will be useless. I think such entries would be good for Wikipedia, not for Wiktionary.
 * Rfdef template is good for entries that have some other information, like pronunciation, translations, inflection, other definitions. These entries have no other information excluding title. Maro 17:52, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree with your logic that "XYZ Sign Language is a language of the deaf used in XYZ country". If someone creates a new sign language for use in Zimbabwe, that won't make it a Zimbabwe Sign Language; if everyone who uses Zimbabwe Sign Language moves out of Zimbabwe, it will still be Zimbabwe Sign Language. It is a language by itself and has an ISO code, not a phrase describing any sign language used in Zimbabwe. Also, some of these languages are spoken outside their namesake country . As for content, American Sign Language is a good example of a decent sign language entry. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 21:24, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Also, this has been discussed previously: WT:RFD. - -sche (discuss) 03:56, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

 * It looks like someone tried to systematically cover every possible combination of significant nationality/ethnicity with the words "sign language". The problem with being systematic is you end up cluttering up the place with the 90 percent that will never be defined because the referent doesn't exist so you can have empty entries standing by for the other 10 percent. Why not just delete them all and let people create what they need when they need them? It's not like there's any usable content to lose, after all. Besides, if someone can create 88 entries just by varying one part of the term, doesn't that demonstrate pretty well that we're dealing with SOP? Chuck Entz (talk) 05:15, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I was going to make a point about whether these could survive rfv, but I thought I would check a few, just to be safe. It would seem I was mistaken about these being random non-existent terms: spot-checking shows that these are apparently all actual sign languages, and the terms are in use online. I still think there's little point to having empty entries, but my previous comment is way off the mark. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Isländerinen

Citations:Isländerinen
This has a wrong title, Isländerinen. The correct one should be Isländerinnen. I could have moved it but the cited material has the same errors because the texts predate the German orthography. --MaEr (talk) 10:57, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * How does the 1973 book predate German orthography? -- Liliana • 11:00, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Just follow the links :) The 1973 book is a reprint of an eighteen-something book. --MaEr (talk) 11:04, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm a bit confused. Anyway, keep. Valid. Not sure what else to say, really. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:21, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * When I run books.google.com for "Isländerinen" I get exactly the two citations that are listed on this citations page. The second one is highly susceptible as it contains at least (I say "at least" because I don't know the adjective "rossetummelnd". It is probably real, though, meaning something like "able to ride fast") three other typos. Reads: "Vile nordische Sagen wissen von rossetummelnden Frauen zu erzälen, und noch heut reiten die Isländerinen fast bei jedem Ausflug." Should read: "Viele nordische Sagen wissen von rossetummelnden Frauen zu erzählen, und noch heute reiten die Isländerinnen fast bei jedem Ausflug." The year 1973 is wrong, the original is from 1872. So, there's only one (maximum two) quotation and three are required => delete. --Hekaheka (talk) 15:28, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Wouldn't obsolete spellings fall under a similar treatment as extinct languages? It's unlikely that these spellings will ever be used again, so their obsolescence speaks in favour of keeping simply because they're used yet unlikely to ever have 3 citations. —CodeCat 15:45, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * It's hardly obsolete either. When I run google.books.com for "Isländerinnen" I get 1020 citations. Already on the first page there are three from 1800's, and the oldest one dates back to 1769. "Isländerinen" is most likely just plain wrong.--Hekaheka (talk) 15:51, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The idea behind citations is (according to me): to have a certain evidence that a word exists, and to show how it is used. But currently we don't have a lemma for Isländerinen. If we create it the problem is solved (at least for me) but it wouldn't be a useful lemma.

 * The orthography is slightly heterodox because the author follows different rules than modern texts. It's not wrong to have such a lemma but far from useful. --MaEr (talk) 15:56, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Besides, it opens up a whole new line of useless entries: Französinen, Finnländerinen, Engländerinen etc., which can all be cited equally "well" as Isländerinen. Wouldn't the energy wasted for this discussion be much better used if it was spent on creating proper citation pages for Citations:Isländer and Citations:Isländerin? --Hekaheka (talk) 16:11, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Hekaheka, I doubt that any of the heterodox spellings in "Vile nordische Sagen wissen von rossetummelnden Frauen zu erzälen, und noch heut reiten die Isländerinen fast bei jedem Ausflug" is a typo (or even a misprint, since the text is printed, not typed); rather, they are all obsolete spellings (heut is of course more than just a spelling variant of heute, and it's still found in nonstandard dialectal German). The fact that two-n Isländerinnen was the more common spelling even in pre-1901 texts doesn't mean that one-n Isländerinen is a mistake even by contemporary standards. I notice that one of the b.g.c. cites shows the one-n spelling being used three times, which to me strongly suggests it was done on purpose. I have no objection to the creation of a lemma Isländerinen marked as an obsolete alternative spelling of Isländerinnen (and likewise for any other attestable word in -inen that today is spelled with -innen). —Angr 16:17, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * All right, it won't probably do much harm as long as it is not linked to Isländerin. Linking would easily mislead an unsuspecting user, especially as we have no citations for the standard spelling. --Hekaheka (talk) 12:01, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep the citation page. What has been sent to RFD here is the citations page. Citations pages are there to hold citations even for terms that have only two of them. Isländerinen (the corresponding main namespace page) is redlinked, as it probably should. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:26, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Why the hell did you nominate a citations page for deletion? Just do this. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 16:53, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Move to Citations:Isländerinnen and Redirect; Citations says "Unlike the main space, inflected forms and alternate spellings should be redirected to the primary entry." If we have no citations for the standard spelling, and that concerns you, then cite it.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:58, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I disagree with that sentence of Citations; I find it odd to cite all obsolete spellings of, say, "knowledge", on the single citations page of "knowledge". The sentence has been added to the page by DAVilla in 2007; there is no evidence that the sentence has been discussed, let alone agreed upon. --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:11, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah, what a surprise, that Wiktionary is ill-documented and what documentation there is isn't agreed upon. Frankly, if it's stood for five years, I think it's about time we start taking it seriously, with the alternative being actually taking action to reform it. Random editors should have be able to trust the explaining documents.--Prosfilaes (talk) 01:58, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Kept. —msh210℠ (talk) 21:46, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * To some extent, the page reflects how terms were cited before the existence of a Citations: space. For instance, therefor used to house a quotation spelled therefore whose more recent deletion is reprimandable. Yes, some alternative spellings could probably be put on separate pages, however not all. I wrote the line on that draft policy and there was some thought that went into it. Where the discussion has run off to I don't know.
 * Exact spelling cannot always be determined from a quotation, for instance if the word is divided at the end of a line and it is unclear if the author would have hyphenated it midsentence, or if a word is capitalized at the beginning of a sentence and it is unclear if it might always be. Sometimes a cite is given to demonstrate spelling, and sometimes definition, and for the latter we could accept inflected forms. Yet inflected forms do not always demonstrate spelling differences. For instance, buggies could be a plural of buggy or buggie. Rather than risk a term being deleted because its citations are scattered all over heck, it's better to consolidate them.
 * What happened is that the Citations tab was added after the namespace was approved and without any discussion whatsoever by a proponent of the each spelling gets its own page philosophy. I will grant you that I was and almost certainly still am in the minority and that there could probably be many compromises to work out a viable solution. If I had been stubborn it is because I suspect that what goes into any decision has less to do with rational argument and more to do with groupthink. I can name at least one other proposal that was shot down on sight just because a hotheaded admin thought we don't do things that way. Anyways, the role of this line of reasoning on that policy page may have been very limited.
 * At this point I would prefer if people just do what they think best. The Citations space has grown beyond the nurturing of a few dedicated quotation hunters and I fully support and trust any investigation into its policy. DAVilla 19:48, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but you were in the wrong here. Mglovesfun did not delete any definition -- it already exists where it's supposed to, at .  You were adding the def on the wrong page.  When you wrote on his Talk page to insult him, he did the appropriate thing and tried to inform you about the correct way to format entries for Ancient Greek nouns .  Rather than reading the linked page (Category:Ancient Greek noun forms), you responded by essentially reverting Mglovesfun's fixes to the  page.
 * In Mglovesfun's shoes, I would have done the same thing, and given you a short block.
 * In your shoes, I would have backed down and read the proferred link to ascertain what I was doing wrong.
 * Mglovesfun is one of our core admins and a solid editor. I've been on this project off and on for years, and he's been consistently reasonable.  I've seen nothing to warrant blocking him.
 * Meanwhile, I'm guessing from your edit style and contrib history that you're used to Wikipedia norms. Note that Wiktionary is not Wikipedia.  Editing in the Wikipedia style, and insulting and then reverting admins to do so, will earn anyone a block.  I do not say this to be mean: I say this to inform.  These two projects, Wikipedia and Wiktionary, have very different operating norms.
 * I strongly recommend you read What_Wiktionary_is_not, Wiktionary_for_Wikipedians, and any link to a category or policy page that a more-experienced editor points you towards. -- Kind regards, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 22:10, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Wiktionary:Votes/2012-05/Emending the bank parking lot example

Emending the bank parking lot example
One of the paragraphs of the #Idiomaticity section of the current CFI reads:
 * This rule must be applied carefully and is somewhat subjective. For example, bank has several senses and parking lot has an idiomatic sense of "large traffic jam".  However bank parking lot can't possibly mean "to put a large traffic jam in a financial institution".  With such clearly wrong interpretations weeded out, the remaining choices are "place to park cars for any of several kinds of business" or "place to park cars by, for or on a river bank or similar (as opposed to, say, the hill parking lot)."  The whole phrase could plausibly mean either, depending on context (though the first is likely far more common), and so the phrase is not idiomatic.

Voting on: changing it to:
 * This rule must be applied carefully and is somewhat subjective. For example, bank has several senses and parking lot has an idiomatic sense of "large traffic jam".  However bank parking lot can't possibly mean "to put a large traffic jam in a financial institution".  With such clearly wrong interpretations weeded out, the remaining choices are " a place to park cars for any of several kinds of business" or " a place to park cars by, for or on a river bank or similar (as opposed to, say, the hill parking lot)."  The whole phrase bank parking lot can be found in actual use with either of the meanings it can reasonably have, depending on context (though the first is likely far more common), and so the phrase is not idiomatic.
