Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2012-12/Removing phrasebook

Removing phrasebook
If you support removing the phrasebook inclusion option from CFI, please indicate whether you want to see non-idiomatic (semantic-sum-of-partish) phrasebook entries in an appendix, in a dedicated phrasebook namespace, or what other treatment of the phrasebook content you would like to see.
 * Straw-polling on: Whether the phrasebook inclusion option should be removed from the CFI for the main namespace. Thus, removing this from WT:CFI: "Phrasebook entries are very common expressions that are considered useful to non-native speakers. Although these are included as entries in the dictionary (in the main namespace), they are not usually considered in these terms. For instance, What’s your name? is clearly a summation of its parts." As a consequence, all main namespace entries that were originally included solely as part of phrasebook should afterwards be required to satisfy other parts of CFI, including the requirement that entries have to be idiomatic.
 * Straw poll starts: 00:01, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Straw poll ends: 23:59, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Straw poll created: Dan Polansky (talk) 18:35, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support  The Appendix namespace is not a wastebasket, even though it is commonly mistaken as such. The phrasebook entries should just go. -- Liliana • 18:33, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support  But reformat and move to appendix (and define rules for what is an acceptable phrasebook phrase). --WikiTiki89 18:39, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Whatever we decide to do, guidelines about what constitutes a useful phrasebook phrase would be helpful, and hopefully inhibit the proliferation of facetious phrasebook entries. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 10:30, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support Equinox ◑ 18:41, 11 December 2012 (UTC) Move elsewhere, i.e. should not be in the alphabetical list of dictionary headwords. Equinox ◑ 18:41, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support removal and moving the useful ones to the Appendix namespace. — Ungoliant (Falai) 19:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support. I think it should have its own namespace. Mainspace could make sense as a home for a much smaller phrasebook, but it's clear that the contributors to the phrasebook want it to be much huger than makes sense to include in mainspace. —Ruakh TALK 19:29, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I am a contributor to the phrasebook but I don't want it to be huge or repetitive or obscene. Some "I need ..." or "I don't need ..." entries, or I'm a guy type of entries for example, were created as a mockery or out of spite, to make the phrasebook look absurd, that's my opinion. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 22:26, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support. Delete the great majority of rubbish entries. Put good ones in a separate namespace. SemperBlotto (talk) 19:59, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * What are the good entries in your opinion? Which namespace? A separate Wiki?! If after the vote, the phrasebook is removed, there won't be anything to move. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 22:29, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support. Keep only entries which are set phrases. Organize the phrasebook as a number of pages such as Phrasebook:At the hotel (English), or something of the kind. Lmaltier (talk) 22:17, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * If phrasebook is removed, nothing will be reorganised. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 22:22, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Why's that? —Ruakh TALK 00:55, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Will someone go about restoring or viewing contents of deleted entries, move them and reorganise? Opponents of the phrasebook are unlikely to do it. Advocates may also be discouraged. I doubt that in order to create something, you need to destroy something first. Appendices like Appendix:I am (ethnicity) proved to be cumbersome (hard to edit) and unpopular with casuals and many regular editors. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:02, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Presumably it will be moved before it is deleted. --WikiTiki89 07:40, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) I think very many of our phrasebook entries should go, no matter what namespace it's in. If that's done, then I have only a slight preference: mainspace preferably, otherwise its own namespace, otherwise an appendix. If that's not done, however, then I support removal of the leeway from the CFI and relegating the phrasebook to its own namespace (otherwise an appendix). —msh210℠ (talk) 05:39, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support. Move to the appendix or a dedicated "Phrasebook:" name space. I do think that the phrasebook has value, and I think it would be good to see it grow, but Phrasebook entries are not dictionary entries, and the current attempts to force them to fit the mainspace dictionary format are a large part of what makes them a bit silly (e.g. please turn right: "When giving directions to a person (for example, a taxi driver), indicates that he or she should turn right."). If they were in their own name space, they could develop their own rules and systems, they wouldn't need silly SoP definitions, and they could include more extensive usage notes than are normal in mainspace entries - you could have, for example, an entry Phrasebook:I need..., with a full explanation of the grammar required. Furius (talk) 12:56, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

 * 2) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose   18:44, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose A phrasebook is an important tool in learning a language. Survival phrases on language difficulties, emergencies, greetings are all essential. It needs a clean-up, more attention and CFI, though. Appendices are seldom looked at by casual or even permanent editors, so important phrases, even greetings and courtesies in some languages may never become available to users. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 21:49, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That suggests to me that we need to start tidying, reorganising and curating the appendices, not that everything has to be forced into mainspace. Equinox ◑ 22:01, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, without any work nothing happens but how do you get a Khmer or Swahili phrase for "pleased to meet you" into Wiktionary in the first place, if few editors look at appendices when contributing? --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 22:21, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that greetings and courtesies should be kept, because they are set phrases, they belong to the vocabulary. Lmaltier (talk) 22:19, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose It is extremely useful. Some of the entries may not be very important, but they are harmless. —Stephen (Talk) 00:18, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Some of them may be extremely harmful to our reputation as a serious dictionary. — Ungoliant (Falai) 00:42, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * This entry was deleted and similar ones will be deleted in the future. The vulgar contents itself is not against the goals of a dictionary - vulgar words, abuse need to be known, at least for understanding, like fuck or fuck you. That phrase was not a good phrasebook candidate at all, even though it was fun. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:51, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I think one of Wiktionary's strengths is being the kind of dictionary that will define awful words like niggerfaggot: other dictionaries might not touch. So in my opinion, vulgarity isn't our concern, utility is. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 10:21, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose  --Daniel 12:17, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose, improve rather than delete. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:32, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose  ---> Tooironic (talk) 05:46, 17 December 2012 (UTC)  keep, and improve ---> Tooironic (talk) 05:46, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose. In order of preference, I think we should: 1) fix it up in the main namespace; 2) move them to Phrasebook: if adding a new namespace is feasible; 3) move to Appendix: as a last resort. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 09:49, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * This vote (as it says in the description at the top) is only about removing it from the main namespace. Moving it to the appendix counts as removing it from the main namespace. --WikiTiki89 09:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, I misunderstood. Let me modify that, then. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 10:10, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose  11:23, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Matthias Buchmeier (talk)
 * 2) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose. Moving objectionable entries to an appendix or even its own space is counter-productive. Too many useful phrasebook entries are also legitimate dictionary entries, such as greetings for starters. You wouldn't be moving just the objectionable ones, you'd be creating a lot of duplicates. If we have a separate phrasebook, it will be to address the need for fill-in-the-blank type of entries that don't work well under a single heading (if such a project outgrows the appendix), but we should still allow in the main namespace phrasebook entries that target the most universal needs. DAVilla 09:55, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) * I think there should not be duplicates: a number of phrases should be in the main space and in the phrasebook, true, but in a quite different form: in order to be found efficiently, phrasebook entries should be grouped by topic (a topic = a page). Has one of existing pure phrasebook entries ever been found and read by a reader interested by its contents? I doubt it. Lmaltier (talk) 20:27, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

ἄφενος

Etymology
Traditionally connected to 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. The agreement with 🇨🇬 is remarkable, but cannot be correct in view of the more likely comparison with the above, which are probably not directly related to the Hittite word. The Greek word looks : according to Beekes, a root is the obvious reconstruction. The recent attempt to connect this word with 🇨🇬 does not convince, but it would be similar to (i.e. "flowing") and to  (i.e. "flowing").

The Finnic borrowings
I am wondering if they really do demonstrate that they were borrowed before -en- > -in-. Is there a possibility that the combination -in- was borrowed as -en- in the Finnic languages? Maybe because they didn't allow that combination of sounds at the time of borrowing? 23:27, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

braukt

Etymology
From (whence also, q.v.), from a stem  (whence also , q.v.). The meaning evolution was probably: “to scrub, to grate” > “to rub, to wipe” (a meaning still conserved in the erstwhile iterative form, and sometimes in itself; see below) > “to drag, to slide” > “to make (a vehicle) slide, run” > “to go, to ride (on a vehicle)” (note that the oldest Baltic vehicles moved by sliding, without wheels). Cognates include 🇨🇬, colloquially also “to ride, to race”, 🇨🇬 dialectal (< 🇨🇬) “to throw, to hurl, to kick; to smear”. From a variant stem also 🇨🇬 (🇨🇬 dialectal, from “to pluck, to pull”, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬).

I am a professional copy editor. I'm interested in editing things for style, language and grammar. My academic interests include philosophy, music, history, literature and everything else under the sun. My job doesn't involve as much extensive editing as I'd like to do, so I love working on Wikipedia articles to tighten up the wording for the meaning.

Wiktionary talk:Votes/pl-2012-12/Removing phrasebook

Maybe structure as approval vote?
Maybe this should be structured as an approval vote, with the options being things like:

 * keep phrasebook in main namespace
 * move phrasebook into appendix namespace
 * move phrasebook into its own namespace
 * remove phrasebook from project

?

The fact that the latter three involve a change to WT:CFI almost seems like an implementation detail — explained in the "Voting on:" section, of course, but not actually part of the L4 headers.

—Ruakh TALK 02:46, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I would group the second and third together as it makes no real difference whether it is in the Appendix or its own namespace. We can decide that later if it passes. --WikiTiki89 07:48, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I guess I was assuming that if it's moved into its own namespace, it would still be organized more or less as it is now, whereas if it's moved into the appendix namespace, it would be converted into language-specific lists. Maybe that's a bad assumption to leave implicit? —Ruakh TALK 14:04, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's bad assumption to leave implicit. I never would have guessed at such a distinction. I think the leave-as-it-is-now vs. convert-into-language-specific-lists should be the main distinction between those two options rather than which namespace it ends up in since it could do either of those two things in any namespace. --WikiTiki89 14:12, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That might be a useful vote or a poll. However, this vote is designed to find out how many editors support the proposal expressed by the posts "just nuke the entire phrasebook" and "If I'm asked, delete the whole g-mn phrasebook". --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 * The last negative comment was by User:Hekaheka who has taken an active part in translations. I have a hunch people are getting sick with the way phrasebook is currently developing, not necessarily with the idea as such. It is a dangerous vote. I don't want users to look for essential phrases (language difficulty, emergency, greetings, etc.) elsewhere but you may be right in trying to determine the moods. The problem with the appendix approach is that the majority of contributors never touch complex pages with tables, rather than the usual glosses, and don't go to pages like "Appendix:blah-blah", so we may miss out on many language translations. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 04:47, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Pruning and/or trimming?
One potential complication with this vote is that some people's opinions will depend on a question not (yet) addressed here, which is — should we prune and/or trim the phrasebook? Personally, given the choice between keeping the phrasebook as-is and deleting it, I think I'd rather we deleted it (we're better off with no phrasebook than with one that includes "I need a condom" and defines it as "Indicates that the speaker needs a condom"); but if we seriously undertook to remove the stupid entries and stupid definitions, I'd be more inclined to keep it. And SemperBlotto's comment in the BP discussion suggests that he feels more or less the same. —Ruakh TALK 02:46, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. Really, I think that instead of removing it from the CFI, we need a clear policy (even if it just says that phrasebook entries must be in the Appendix, or may not exist, or whatever consensus decides). I also think there are a handful of phrasebook entries important enough to merit inclusion in the main namespace, and RFD should be able to determine that. Even with the wave of anti-phrasebook voting, of which I am a part, who would vote to kill I love you at RFD, even though the first two senses are not idiomatic AFAICT? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * This vote should find out how many people want to remove the phrasebook completely from the main namespace. Recently, there were such messages in RFD, such as "just nuke the entire phrasebook" and "If I'm asked, delete the whole g-mn phrasebook". What I want to find out is how many people actually support that. The title of the vote--"Removing phrasebook"--makes it clear. So this vote captures the proposal to completely "nuke the entire phrasebook". Other proposals can be captured in other votes. Those who oppose nuking the entire phrasebook may favor its trimming or not; that is not what this vote should find out. In any case, voters can provide all sorts of stances and proposals about the phrasebook in their vote comments, to help shape further votes. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:49, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

in an appendix?
in a appendix is not very clear. Does this mean in a single appendix page? I would support the move to a number of appendix pages, with titles such as At the hotel (French), preferably in a new namespace. Lmaltier (talk) 18:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * See below. Please clarify any preferences you have in your vote comment, or even here. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:59, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

A related point: I would also support changing the SOP/idiomatic requirement to does it belong to the vocabulary of the language?. I consider that happy birthday belongs to the vocabulary of English, because it's useful to teach this set phrase in vocabulary courses. And it also belongs to a phrasebook. But, of course, I´d like to book a room please does not belong to the vocabulary of English, and should be in a phrasebook only. Lmaltier (talk) 19:13, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I think "idiomatic" is clearer than "belongs to the vocabulary". 21:18, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I was not feeling happy birthday as idiomatic (but our definition of idiomatic is very unclear). And, yet, it's worth being learned in vocabulary lessons: this is the appropriate phrase, rather than good birthday, etc. Lmaltier (talk) 21:28, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Simplicity again
I have returned to vote to the state in which I have created it, having only the "support", "oppose", and "abstain" options. The "support" option pertains to the mainspace, as it pertains to the text being voted on. This vote should find out how many people want to "nuke the entire phrasebook" from the main namespace. People can clarify in their vote comments whether they want to see the phrasebook in an appendix, in a dedicated namespace, or the like. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:04, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Those who are against canning the phrasebook should also be able to clarify what they prefer if it ends up being nuked. — Ungoliant (Falai) 19:30, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * They are able to clarify that, in their vote comments. But even if they don't clarify that, the opposers of nuking cannot per default be counted as opposers of phrasebook in an appendix. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:41, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * But the proposal says “If you vote to remove the phrasebook inclusion option from CFI, please indicate ”. I think it should say “Whether you vote to remove or to keep . — Ungoliant (Falai) 19:44, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * So can you post here the complete thing you think it should say? --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:46, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * (The last phrase) something like: Whether you vote to remove or to keep the phrasebook inclusion option from CFI, please indicate whether you want to see non-idiomatic (semantic-sum-of-partish) phrasebook entries in an appendix, in a dedicated phrasebook namespace, completely removed from Wiktionary, or what other treatment of the phrasebook content you would like to see if the vote does pass . — Ungoliant (Falai) 19:52, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Why should someone opposing the removal of a phrasebook from the mainspace clarify whether they want to see the phrasebook completely removed from Wiktionary? Does not make any sense. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:54, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It makes perfect sense. --WikiTiki89 19:58, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Those voting support might. Those voting oppose will most likely prefer moving it to another namespace, methinks. — Ungoliant (Falai) 20:00, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * What, those who oppose removing the phrasebook from the mainspace will prefer moving it to another namespace? --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:03, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. If the vote fails passes, they will prefer moving it to another mainspace, instead of just deleting everything. That is my guess, at least. — Ungoliant (Falai) 20:05, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The vote proposes to remove the phrasebook provision from CFI. Thus, if the vote fails, the phrasebook stays in the mainspace, that is, main namespace. If you want to propose to move the phrasebook from the mainspace to a dedicated namespace, why don't you start a vote to do that? --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:12, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * What I think, is that the people who vote "support" should be able to indicate what they want to do with phrasebook (i.e. delete entirely, move to appendix, etc.). --WikiTiki89 20:14, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * @Wikitiki: They are able to indicate that. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:15, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Then everything's all set. But it might be better to have subsections in the "Support" section so it is clear how many people favor which option. --WikiTiki89 20:17, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oops. I meant if it passes. — Ungoliant (Falai) 20:18, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

To clarify: With the newly "simple" vote, only the support or opposition is to be enacted when the vote's decided, right? The "please indicate whether you want to see non-idiomatic (semantic-sum-of-partish) phrasebook entries in an appendix, in a dedicated phrasebook namespace, or what" is just for fun, right? —msh210℠ (talk) 02:17, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I still think that should be a subsection of the Support votes so that it will guarantee the phrasebook won't be deleted entirely if we agree to move it. --WikiTiki89 08:11, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It is not for fun. If a clear consensus about a prospective action can be gleaned from vote comments, it can be acted upon, unless it involves modification of a document whose modification is subject to voting.
 * Why don't you guys create a vote upon your liking? You can have a nice convo about how the vote should be worded and the like, and then you can let it be run. Am I preventing you from doing that in any way? --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:51, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Why I object to this vote.
I converted this vote last night to a straw poll. From the edit-history:

 * Ruakh: This is not a real vote. We can't just eliminate the phrasebook-exemption from WT:CFI without having any idea what we want to do with the phrasebook entries.
 * CodeCat: Undo revision 18939657 by Ruakh (talk) - That doesn't change the intent that a vote be held. Make your own straw poll.
 * Ruakh: rv CodeCat: but he's *not* proposing this. he's made clear that he just wants to see how many people would support this. that's a straw poll, not a vote.

But the edit-history of a series of reverts is not the best place for this discussion, so, here's an actual discussion:

has indicated that his reason for holding this vote is that he wants to know how many people support removing the phrasebook-exemption from CFI. He wants to be able to point at the result of this vote and say, for example, "See? Only 30% of voters want to remove that exemption." The problem is, he's constructed the vote in such a way as to deter people from voting in support: they can vote to remove the phrasebook-exemption, but they can't vote on what to do with it instead. If someone is O.K. with keeping the phrasebook in mainspace, but would greatly prefer that it be moved to its own namespace, then they theoretically support removing the phrasebook-exemption, but will still be forced to vote "oppose", because a "support" vote seems to mean that the phrasebook would be deleted, and even if we interpret it as just open-ended, a "support" vote still doesn't mean anything specific.

So whatever Dan's actual intent, he's not actually making a proposal. He's sabotaging one. And I don't think we can allow that.

A straw poll, however, doesn't have this problem: it allows people to indicate that they want the phrasebook-exemption removed, and what they'd like to see instead, without actually committing themselves to some unspecified result.

—Ruakh TALK 15:06, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Move to table. —msh210℠ (talk) 15:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I request that I am given the right to phrase a proposal to be voted on. You are free to create your own vote; I don't understand why you did not do that. I reject the accusation that I am "sabotaging" any one's proposal. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:32, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I have reverted your turning the vote to a straw poll, and then reverted again back to your version. Your version is good enough. If we need a follow-up vote for this being a mere straw-poll, that is okay with me. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:shear legs

The Oxford English Dictionary defines shear legs as having three legs but the term shear legs widely means a two legged A-frame lifting device as shown in the following link in figure 5-6. Figure 5-5 shows what some people call shear legs as a tripod: http://library.enlisted.info/field-manuals/series-1/FM5_125/CH5.PDF I am wondering if it is a matter of British English vs. American English or just multiple, confusing meanings. 70.16.96.59 03:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia also says two legs. I personally don't think it has anything to do with BE vs AE, but more with the changes that have occurred in the technology itself over time. This is just speculation, as I have absolutely no knowledge in this area whatsoever. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 04:09, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
