User:Mglovesfun/Manual of style

This page is intended to give guidance on formatting and style issues not covered by Entry layout explained. WT:ELE is an official policy that can only be changed by a vote, and cannot be overruled by this page.

Definitions
English definitions, in terms of their presentation, are to be treated as sentences, even when the definition is only one word. This means each definition should start with a capital letter and end with a (aka ). For words that do not start with a capital letter, use a piped link, such as

 * 1) Word.

or

 * 1) Word.

The first example links to the page word, while the second one links to word

Definitions for language other than English are not treated as sentences, and should have neither a capital letter nor a period. Of course, for words that require a capital letter, this capital letter is maintained

 * 1) England

 * 1) (not england)

However definitions may be treated as sentences for multi-sentence definitions.

Translations
Translations should always be inside the templates  and. Translation glosses, the first unnamed parameter in  should not have wikilinks, an initial capital letter or a period. This is because translation glosses are not intended to duplicate the definitions, but to make it clear which definition the translation table is referring to. Shortening glosses is ok as long as it is unambiguous which definition the table refers to. Remember definitions are added, removed and reworded, and translation tables should be updated to reflect this.

Please do not use templates inside, instead of or , use (example context).

Descendants
Descendants are to use a similar format to translations. In particular they should be alphabetized and not contain wikilinks to the language names. There is no clear consensus on where to put languages whose names start with 'old' or 'middle' such as Old French and Middle French. Some alphabetize them, some alphabetize them as 'French'. Descendants should not use or any other translation-linking template, but rather use. A square bracket links is acceptable such as house or house, but these should be updated to (or in the case of English,  is equally acceptable).

Links to other projects
When linking to other projects, the project prefix should not be visible. For example, in, the link should be English language and not English language with a visible. The same applies to language prefixes; Lingua inglese and not Lingua inglese.

Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Orphaning m , f and so on

There's no consensus to do this yet. I think it's important that consensus precedes action and not the other way around. I just worry that in your obviously genuine desire to make this wiki more intuitive and and consistent, you risk leaving all other editors behind by not consulting them. Unfortunately you can't have it both ways; if you want to consult people it's much slower, but if you don't you risk alienating editors. You and I have a similar approach which is why I usually support you but I'd like to think over the years I've learned the value of patience in terms of not alienating people from whom I'd like support in future.

Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Orphaning m , f and so on/reply

I thought there was a consensus, though, but I refrained from doing any further changes in that direction until there was one. I'm not quite clear in the current situation because there are really two different things getting mixed up. On one side, there's the possibility of orphaning them just for the sake of it, because we don't really need all the different templates when one can do the same job, and more. And then there's the desire to find a more permanent name for, and most people so far are ok with usurping for that purpose. These two things interact as well, in particular when people start to suggest because  is in use. doesn't have to be in use and we can certainly do without it, so making the far-reaching decision to use as a permanent name, because of the temporary condition that  is still in use, is a bit short-sighted.

Talk:sat

sat
Rfv-sense :  #:I'm sat in the middle of the park.. Dubious how this is a present participle. As an adjective, sure. --On Ka Wo Mu (talk) 09:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's the passive voice, it's nonstandard (according to some, anyway) but it's not the present participle of sit, it's the past participle. And to be honest I think it's so widespread as to be called standard, even if a logical analysis might rule it invalid. Compare stood (I'm stood in the middle of the park). Mglovesfun (talk) 10:17, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd have called it a (non-standard?) past participle of seat. DCDuring TALK 14:37, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it's a form of, not . Dutch has an analogous construction: ik ben gezeten. is the past participle of .  16:13, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * At first blush, I share DCDuring's analysis, but the fact that both seat and sit have transitive and intransitive senses does complicate matters. Note that in addition to constructions like "I'm sat in the middle of the park", there are constructions like "they sat their guest in the leftmost chair" and "the room he was sat in was more like a windowless box". I think labelling it "colloquial" (not not "nonstandard") is fine, but I wouldn't put it in the headword line of seat or sit. - -sche (discuss) 17:41, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Is this attested in English, as opposed to Scots? - -sche (discuss) 03:11, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Digging through Google Books, the closest I found is this explanation in the Plowman's Creed; pretty much everything else is in dictionaries or explanations of Burns, and usually "dialect" or Scottish dictionaries. (Samuel Johnson's dictionary has it; might be worth a note at dictionary-only words, or a simple acceptance that what we consider Scottish he considered English.) I'd be a little surprised if someone found something else in Google Books, but there was a lot of noise, so it's not impossible. Cites in the New English Dictionary (volume 5, page 474) are from Burns and Thoughts on the seasons, &c. partly in the Scottish dialect, by David Davidson.--Prosfilaes (talk) 04:25, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

RFV for the slang sense "Any mechanism that separates one person from another, whether it be distance, time, or apathy", which has the example sentence "She really put me in the cotton gin when she wouldn't call me back." and the editorial comment "the originator of this definition says that the slang term is British - but the cotton gin is unknown in Britain, cotton being cleaned up at source." I am unfamiliar with this sense, and it sounds unidiomatic; I'd imagine that "put me through the cotton gin" would be more natural, and surely the "cotton" element would be dropped, so that people would say "put me through the gin", if they used it at all.

As for the challenged senses: they look like the kind of thing one would get by extrapolating from the literal meanings of the parts that make up the word.

 * I'm not convinced the Nazi sense and the sense "a superior human" are distinct. (At a minimum, the Nazi sense would seem to be a subsense of the "superior human" sense.) Whether to keep the Nazi sense or keep the "superior human" sense depends on how much non-Nazi usage the latter sees, I suppose. - -sche (discuss) 18:37, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:maquilatropolis

maquilatropolis

 * The original heading: "Deletion appeal :)".

The word Maquilatropolis refers to a specific place: The Maquiladora community in Mexico that borders the US by Tijuana and Tecate. (There are other factories across the world, but this is a specific one and community.) The Maquilatropolis is a collection of industrial factories and corporations, workers, families, homes, organizations, economic transportation, and more. This entry was deleted because it was perceived to be "no more then a website," but there is barely a website, and there is no other name to identify this particular geographic region and what takes place within it. As I have been hearing this more in the industry, seen it in documents, and I would like to add it. I would like to request that you see it from that perspective, and reconsider your perspective of legitimacy, for as new communities and developments form in the world, the words that identify those which were not always there must somehow as well. Thank you!
 * We require that English words have at least 3 durable citations spanning at least a year. Durable citation means, in a nutshell, published material (books, magazines, even music lyrics) or Usenet posts. The quickest way for us to find them is by searching the word in Google Books and Google Groups; I just did that and there wasn’t one book or Usenet posting using this word.
 * If you want to add maquilatropolis to the Wiktionary, we ask that you find three uses of this word that conform to our criteria for inclusion; I can even undelete the entry if you do that, so you won’t need to rewrite it. — Ungoliant (Falai) 22:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate your help. I have included three references to verify the term, including a trademark registration, press release reference, and the results of a TESS search for the Maquilatropolis Trade Association. You will also find reference within Wikipedia. Please advise if this is sufficient, and how to proceed with posting Maquilatropolis to Wiktionary. Thank yoU!

 * 1) The route one takes to travel to a workplace or back.
 * 2) The distance of that route.
 * Cites, not sites. —msh210℠ (talk) 05:23, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree. You could have a "long commute" to work, but that is still basically just a long version of the first definition.--Dmol (talk) 07:24, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

 * I have my doubts about both of them. For me, a commute is the trip itself, not the route or the distance of it. One might say "my commute took an extra 45 minutes because of traffic", or "my commute this morning was really pleasant- there wasn't much traffic, and I was listening to some great music the whole way." One would refer to the route normally taken on one's commute, or to its length, but those are attributes of the commute, not the commute itself. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:45, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree that the first sense is not an adequate definition. Other dictionaries have something like "an act or instance of commuting", but this seems likely to be a disservice to some users, requiring them to sort out which sense of the verb might be meant. It also neglects the habitual/repetitive aspect which seems at the core of the word.
 * Some other 'unabridged' dictionaries do have a "time or distance taken" sense. Why? I think because one can say "His commute was 20 minutes/10 miles." as well as "His commute lasted/took 20 minutes." This contrasts with other time-consuming activities like "task" and "game".
 * As to attestation, it would seem to be in widespread use. The question to me is whether a proper first definition could be worded so that it was substitutable in all the time/distance uses of the word. DCDuring TALK 11:52, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree the first definition should be tweaked. And good point re "his commute was 20 minutes/miles" (which, yes, I agree is clearly widespread use). Thanks. —msh210℠ (talk) 05:23, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I suggest that we modify the noun entry to read:
 * The journey undertaken to travel to or from a workplace.
 * The route, time or distance of that journey.
 * Would that resolve the issue?   D b f  i  r  s   08:41, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for persisting. That's about right AFAIAC. The second seems perfect. As to the first I think the journey should be "regular" (ie, repeated on a regular basis) and may involve something other than a workplace, especially a place of learning. It could also involve a journey between regular jobs.
 * How about "A regular journey to or from a place of employment, such as work or school."?
 * We should wait a little longer - but not too long - to close this out. DCDuring TALK 13:43, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Did that sense develop as early as two years ago? The basic sense may have developed a sense somehow specific to the recent budgetary unpleasantness, metonymically shifting its object from funds, to departments, to employees. But use with this last object may not have emerged until sequester became a likelihood and its consequences obvious. I suppose the search for early use should be for "he|she|they|we|employees|workers" "going to|will" "be sequestered". Also, for most federal employees, sequester means a reduction of days worked, not layoffs. It might be contractor employees who would get laid off. DCDuring TALK 19:32, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

 * This was the only edit of an IP which geolocates to England. The etymology says it comes from the movie, which doesn't explain the spelling (unless it came from closed captioning or subtitles). Also, you'd think they'd use something more like "uruc jai", but maybe spelling of non-English words is left alone in translations of Tolkien. All extremely fishy, and lame enough to suggest adolescent or pre-adolescent vandalism. Not quite enough to justify speedying it, though I would delete such an entry if I were to run into it while patrolling (after checking quickly for usage, of course).

Talk:cheatgrass

cheatgrass
Rfv-sense: "A local name for various types of grasses which resemble, but are different from, the predominant species growing in that locality."

There is a species for which this is a vernacular name. Is this some kind of plausible invention or a real term? The Pynchon cite attests to the existence of the term but not any specific definition. DCDuring TALK 13:46, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
