Talk:waxing

waxing
the action of the verb to wax. Can't decide whether to rfd or rfv, so will start with this one. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:21, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * What do you make of these: ? — Ungoliant (Falai) 23:32, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * This seems to be what comes of our decision not to include alongside  for English -ing forms. Any verb-ing form can mean "the action of the verb to verb", because -ing forms are gerunds as well as present participles. I've never understood why we try to hide that fact from our readers. —Angr 06:41, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV, those seem like the verb to me. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:45, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * @Angr: Why not just reform to  and display Present participle and gerund of ...? Does that capture all the uses of the form or do we need more of a grammar lesson built into the display for "progressive"? DCDuring TALK  15:21, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You can't change itself because it is used in languages (such as Italian) in which the present participle and gerund are of different forms and have different meanings and usage. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:26, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * But we could bot-replace all instances in English with an en-specific template that was specific to the grammar of English. DCDuring TALK 15:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I suppose we could have an English-specific template that says "both present participle and gerund", but I'd rather we just had two senses, one with and one with . It's really only coincidence that the two are homophonous in English; it's not like they form any sort of semantically natural pair. It would be like having a Latin-specific  just because the dative and ablative plural of (I believe) every single Latin noun are identical. But we don't do that; we list the dative plural and ablative plural separately. And the English pres.ptc. and gerund are even less closely related to each other than the Latin forms are. Can't we get a bot to add  underneath every instance of  in an English section? —Angr 17:38, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I’m not sure. If they were the verb, wouldn’t they be “waxing the floor” instead of “the waxing of the floor”? — Ungoliant (Falai) 17:45, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. In "Waxing the floor is fun" it can't be anything but a gerund. 17:49, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * We must keep a sense of the noun because the plural is very much attestable. Whether it's this sense and/or the others, I don't know. Equinox ◑ 23:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * This sense is marked as uncountable. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:30, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If the sense is marked uncountable, then the sense needs to be corrected; it is trivially easy to find instances of "waxings" referring to the action of the verb. See, e.g.:
 * 1983, Youlan Feng, Derk Bodde, A History of Chinese Philosophy, Vol. 2, p. 427:
 * The wanings and waxings (of the sun and moon) occur according to the (twelve) pitch-pipes.
 * 2009, Fritz Allhoff, Wine and Philosophy: A Symposium on Thinking and Drinking, p. 128:
 * Are these metaphorical descriptions just the subjective waxings of the critic or are they aesthetic properties really (but metaphorically) true of the wine?
 * 2006, Mary Lou Lyon, Early Cupertino, p. 81:
 * The building interior was Gothic and finished by multiple waxings of the commercial coast woods, redwood, sugar pine, white pine, and Douglas fir.
 * Cheers! bd2412 T 16:31, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Now that we have the extended functionality of Lua modules. Could it detect "lang=en" and describe it as "present participle and gerund of..."? SemperBlotto (talk) 22:23, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
 * That can actually very easily be done even without Lua. The question is do we really want to? --WikiTiki89 22:26, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak keep because there are other noun senses (so it makes sense to have the most basic one), and waxings is attested. - -sche (discuss) 04:31, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'm not sure it makes sense to keep such a vague sense. - -sche (discuss) 04:32, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
 * How is a vague gerund sense (applicable to noun forms of multiple verb actions) any less sensible than the lone "present participle of" sense for verbs with multiple meanings? bd2412 T 16:03, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. But we should probably revisit how we present ing-forms. Perhaps the most economical thing would be to amend to refer to "gerund" and link to both participle and gerund pages ours or WP's or something new. DCDuring TALK  18:45, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep, on the assumption that we should not present -ing forms that act as nouns (e.g. by having a plural) as present participles (verb forms). See also Appendix:English -ing forms and Talk:fucking, Talk:perusing, Talk:ploughing, Talk:dating. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:04, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dan Polansky. There is a different part of speech involved between "they are doing well waxing the ships" and "the waxings of the ships are going well". bd2412 T 16:03, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * See and waxing#Verb sense 2 in this revision. DCDuring TALK  22:08, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * There is a related issue concerning Dutch and German verbs as well. Both languages have gerunds, like English, although the gerund is always identical to the infinitive, rather than like the present participle. These gerunds are nouns, and have neuter gender; a few have a plural form as well, but generally they're uncountable. German capitalises nouns, so the gerunds are spelled with a capital letter and so they get their own entry, as in Category:German gerunds. But for Dutch it's not so clear because the spelling is exactly identical with the infinitive. Only a few our current Dutch verb lemma entries also include a gerund sense, mainly because this is implicit in any verb. So the situation is really much like the English one being discussed above. Whatever we decide for English should presumably take the Dutch situation into account as well. 21:01, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * What about the gerund (and its Dutch equivalent if there is one)? --WikiTiki89 21:29, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * (Dutch has ) That's not really a part of the verbal paradigm as such. It's more of a "companion". The relationship is derivational rather than inflectional, and many verbs don't even have such nouns. So their existence is lexically disconnected from the main verb and would need to be considered separately by CFI. Many of them also have idiomatic meanings, while the "plain" gerund always has the meaning of the verb. There are also other ways to form verbal nouns (like English, and so on), and often they have identical meanings and are in competition with the  suffix form, if it exists.  21:43, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I see no consensus to delete and no likelihood of one developing. Can we close this now? bd2412 T 19:07, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Having heard nothing further on the subject, kept for lack of consensus to delete. bd2412 T 16:42, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Why the rush?/reply (3)

Well, I think it's quite major. We should work this out more before making any changes, because it has a wide effect on many templates, not just the linking templates. It's a complete change in standard practice across Wiktionary. For example, it would also affect templates like, and others. Anything that's used to link to another entry in one way or another.

Personally, I'm not decided whether a change is even desirable. The nice thing about and the likes is that the two term parameters mimic how plain wikilinks work. somewhat resembles, which is a bonus for those who understand wikicode and only need to learn Wiktionary's practice. It makes the practice relatively simple: take the existing plain wikilink, remove the square brackets, and wrap it inside. However, if we are to change anything at all, I think the best whould be to move the gloss down one parameter, and use  for the display form.

In any case, renaming and  to  doesn't really have anything to do with that, because it only affects one template and does not affect any proposed change in the parameters.

It kind of does, becauſe when the new ſyntax is agreed upon, we will have to rewrite all direct tranſcluſions of "mention" templates all over again. So we might as well do it in one go.

And wiþ some care, the whole change does not have to be ſuch a flag day eiþer. I added a ſeparate "incompat" mode ſpecifically to give it chance to be teſted in a ſmall ſcale before changing all templates.

You're thinking of it in time and effort terms. But it's almost no effort to run a bot twice, and time isn't really an issue either is it? In fact, to change the parameters around we would need to create tracking categories/templates first anyway, to feed such a bot.

And has a   parameter which does what you describe, more or less.

Hi CodeCat, Since you seem to be the template expert around here, I am going to to ask you: on nds-wikt, we use the en-topic cat templates. I have made a change so the topical subcategories get sorted before the language subcategories. This makes it easier to find them. The (not completed) change:  Perhaps this change is useful for en-wikt too.

Talk:false dawn

Possible Alternate Name
I could swear I've also heard this referred to as a "false finish". I seem to recall hearing it in a military context, like when soldiers go on a road march (or some other grueling task) and upon thinking they're near the end, come to find out they still have a ways to go. Drill instructors do this to test the mental endurance of trainees, since, as I'm sure you can understand, it can be very psychologically defeating for someone at the end of their physical ropes. 67.171.222.203 17:19, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Polish translation

 * Isn't a false dawn something which gives false hopes, rather than a false hope itself? PUC – 14:41, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Arguably yes. This could probably be converted to a "no equivalent, but see" Vininn126 (talk) 14:42, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Basically, it is the same for each of the 8 possible parent cats: If no lang parameter is present (i.e. it is a top level cat), add an asterisk before categoryname, so it is put in front of the parent category-list.

Talk:KTV

"karaoke television"
Definition 1 includes the term "karaoke television." Is there such a thing? I don't think so. Karaoke has always been on a television or television-like screen, but it is not really a form of broadcast television. 173.89.236.187 03:27, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I see--it's karaoke with a television providing the lyrics (and other visuals), as opposed to karaoke with just recording and no video component. 173.89.236.187 03:28, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

RFV discussion: February–July 2014
I've never seen "KTV" as an English term in Australia, Canada, England, India, or the United States.

I've only ever seen it in mainland China.

I suspect it's "pseudo English" just like German "Handy". Otherwise it's both new and regional.

Can we find some quotations and add the missing Chinese entry? — hippietrail (talk) 17:27, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Moved from Requested_entries_(Chinese) regarding the Chinese entry request for KTV

 * - has English entry, needs Chinese. Deleted with no explanation other than "removed blue links and non-words" by Wyang on 2008-02-08
 * It is not Chinese. It is English used in a Chinese context, like hello, hi, bye-bye. The Chinese equivalents of these are 哈囉, 嗨, 拜拜, and there is no equivalent for KTV (like Windows). Wyang (talk) 12:28, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Same with TV, WTO, NHL and various other abbreviations. The term needs to be cited as Chinese. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 13:12, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe you believe it's not Chinese but it is not English. At least I can't find any evidence of it. It seems to be an English-style word invented and used only in China and Taiwan. I can show you my photos of KTV's in several provinces in China. I've been to many English speaking countries and English is my native language and I've never seen or hear it outside China.
 * You need to provide evidence rather than just belief. Otherwise you could choose to believe that telephone is an Ancient Greek word even though it was invented with Greek pieces by another culture.
 * Google hits by country:
 * .cn: 23,700,000

 * .au: 76,200
 * .nz: 19,000

That's not one but two orders of magnitude more popular in China than in the highest rated English only country. — hippietrail (talk) 14:40, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Google hits by language: (hippietrail (talk) 04:14, 25 April 2014 (UTC))

 * You have RFV-ed the English term, I have opened the RVF discussion. It still needs to be verified and cited the normal way using Google books. I personally don't see any need for this entry. I haven't seen it in Chinese dictionaries and I know Chinese people don't think it's a Chinese word. Wyang is also a Chinese person. As I said, if it's verified, someone can make an entry, not me. We had a guy, if you remember (a vandal who abused multiple accounts - abc123, Engirst and his various sock puppets) who made pizza, bacon, tennis, Thames all Chinese words and he quoted "吃pizza", "打tennis", "Thames河", etc. just to prove those words are also Chinese. These are called Chinglish and code-switching. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 14:57, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes I rfv'd it months ago. I don't know about the vandal, vandals are annoying I agree. I'm not a vandal.
 * I can't speak for your experience with China or Taiwan or English speaking countries or your experience with the Chinese or English languages. I asked two non-native but fluent English speakers who have never been to Japan what "KTV" is and they were both stumped. It's a small sample but I've began to think this is how it is.
 * We have many words not in other dictionaries and many words one or even many people don't "see a need for" for many reasons. But we include them if and how they are used. And "KTV" is used in China and in Chinese.
 * Now I don't know how or why it was invented. I've started to see hints that it originated in Taiwan. But it's very much used in China. Maybe it was supposed to sound cool? Maybe it comes from a brand name of some Karaoke equipment manufacturer.
 * I also can't tell you why Chinese people / Chinese speakers are resistant to the idea that the word is one they made up and really only they use. Maybe intuition, maybe principle, maybe language purism, maybe they don't think such words are possible, but it's pretty common. Japanese is full of words that look like English words to them but that we English speakers don't know. Many European languages think "the parking" or "a camping" are English. I'm sure Chinese is not special in having some kind of immunity to this phenomenon. Maybe this is the first example? Anyway it's real. — hippietrail (talk) 16:20, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I just discovered is in a list of "Pseudo-anglicism"s in Wikipedia, where it was added just over a year ago — hippietrail (talk) 16:31, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I just realized this discussion is right on the requests page. Please feel free to move it to the talk page and leave just a summary here. — hippietrail (talk) 16:37, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

 * I added an etymology at KTV. Please correct or add to as necessary. 173.89.236.187 21:13, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Well it's added under the English heading. That would set a precedent for moving many pseudo-loanwords from the sections for the languages in which they actually used to the sections for the languages they were designed to resemble, but in which they are not used. — hippietrail (talk) 01:17, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

 * It's not just China or any Chinese speaking countries. "KTV" is used in some other Asian countries and by English speakers as well, in reference to the phenomenon in those countries.
 * An interesting observation regarding the use of English letters and abbreviations in China.
 * If there is a company, concept, medicine, etc. in Japan, Russia, Arab world, etc. it may be transcribed locally as إي-بي-سي, Эй-Би-Си, エイ・ビー・シー (of course, officially or as a brand name it's still "ABC") but in China, there is hardly any transliteration for English letters (they are rare, e.g. 艾克斯 (àikèsī) for "X") and letters are pronounced the English way, even W (double-u, the hardest one for Mandarin phonology). So, are English letters also Chinese, if WTO is either read out by Chinese anchors as English or translated as . I don't think WTO can count as Chinese word but I know some people would disagree. OK, 三K党 are different cases. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 04:20, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't confuse a language and it's writing system. Languages are spoken. Writing systems are secondary optional technologies.
 * The questions to ask are "Do Chinese speaking people say and understand the term "KTV" in their spoken communications?" and "Do English speaking people say and understand the term "KTV" in their spoken communications?"
 * Another thing to keep in mind is that the Latin writing system does not belong to English but is shared among many languages, including German, Filipino, Vietnamese, French, and Indonesian. We have the same kind of evidence for creating entries for the term "KTV" in all those languages, why single out English?
 * It's not about whether the letters are Chinese, it's about whether the term is Chinese. There are no English speakers in China forcing people to say this term or forcing them to write it in Latin letters. Chinese use the term, they say it, they decide how they write it. That they write it entirely in foreign characters may be unique to this term so far, but it has nothing to do with English speakers.
 * The evidence we have of English speakers using "KTV" is about the same in quality and quantity of the evidence we have of English speakers using "nihao" or "ni hao", and very many other Chinese words. Are these all now in need of English entries? — hippietrail (talk) 06:42, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Cited; the definitions may need tweaking from someone more familiar with KTVs. The Tamil TV channel sense isn’t being disputed, right? — Ungoliant (falai) 22:52, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. This RFV should be finally closed as an English term, even if it's popular in Asia and is often written verbatim. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:18, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Passed. — Ungoliant (falai) 04:24, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Also common in Cambodia
This term for karaoke or karaoke bars or clubs is also very popular in Cambodia in Latin script. So far I haven't seen it in Khmer script.

I looked out for this term but only spotted it a tiny handful of times across Malaysia, Thailand, and Laos, and then only in the most Chinese style places. Transliterated into native script in Thailand and Laos I only ever saw "karaoke" and never saw "KTV". — hippietrail (talk) 08:22, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Derived terms request for cleanup
The RFC link doesn't seem to go to any discussion so I'll put it here. Years ago when I was researching "KTV" the first or second time I came across comments that there were newer variations on KTV and RTV and DTV were the two most mentioned. Googling RTV is easier, it seems to stand for "Restaurant KTV" so presumably proper food and not just snacks are served in your private karaoke box. I took a photo from the faded sign on a defunct establishment in Taiwan about a week ago that uses "RTV" that I can upload. Another use with explanation is at http://gzsener.com/en/me/products_xq.asp?id=88

"DTV" is harder to google for but comes up in clc.fcu.edu.tw, the site for Feng Chia University along with "PTV": Of course there's the endless variation on this theme in places such as an RTV (restaurant Karaoke), DTV (disco) or PDK(piano bar-disco-karaoke). Actually I can't find it on the site but it shows up in the Google snippet. It seems that DTV isn't frequently used enough and PTV is even rarer. I suppose they were short-lived fads or failed experiments. I'm not sure if RTV has survived much... more than the others but I'm not sure whether enough to be included. Worth more research. — hippietrail (talk) 06:39, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

The title and headword are different. And shouldn’t it be Cyprius? — Ungoliant (Falai) 02:19, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's an adjective, so it shouldn't be capitalised. 02:20, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The technical problem was due to extra parameters- probably added by someone who got the headword and declension templates mixed up. As for capitalization: why wouldn't an adjective derived from a proper noun share the proper noun's capitalization? It's capitalized in Lewis and Short, and there are capitalized terms in Category: Latin nouns. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:14, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The Oxford Latin Dictionary capitalizes proper adjectives too, as does every other print Latin dictionary I've checked, including a Latin–German dictionary, so it's not an idiosyncrasy of English-speaking lexicographers. —Angr 20:40, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Does it depend on whether it's English Latin or french Latin? No, I'm wrong. Even Wiktionnaire has it capitalised.     D b f  i  r  s   17:00, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and moved the entry to Cyprius. Could someone please check that I've followed the correct procedure?  I've left the request for cleanup because we still need to decide on the usage on "ȳ".  Our Latin entry at Cyprus doesn't use it, so it would seem consistent to remove it from this entry.

How do we code "Late Greek" in etymologies? As grc, gkm, or something else? These two entries currently code it as rge, but that is in fact the code of Helleno-Romani, a mixture of Romani and Greek. - -sche (discuss) 16:56, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * "Late Greek" is a terribly silly way of denoting a chronolect belonging to a language continuum that has endured unbroken for thousands of years. In this case, the author meant Ancient Greek, but wanted to make it clear that it is Post-Classical (i.e. from the age of the Roman Empire). I don't really think gkm should be an L2, and in any case this isn't it, because gkm only begins once Latin is dead. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:35, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:nihil obstat

RFC discussion: February 2014
We have the ==Interjection== sense "Declaration used by the Catholic Church to indicate a book was been found not to have breached religious or moral norms". Should it be the ==Noun== sense "Declaration…", the ==Interjection== sense "", or both? And if it is the ==Interjection== sense "", then is it redundant to the other ==Interjection== sense, "No objections"? —msh210℠ (talk) 20:14, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * When the RCC uses it (e.g. here), they're using it in Latin (where's it's a phrase, not a noun or an interjection), not in English. When it is used in English, it seems to be a noun, as in "at CUA the bishops on the board of trustees grant the nihil obstat in the name of the Holy See" and "The Nihil obstat and Imprimatur are then printed on an early page of the book, giving the reader assurance that the book..." and "Once having obtained their nihil obstat, Noël and Ladeuze were then able to submit a properly sanctioned application to the Belgian scientific research foundation." I don't think anyone goes around exclaiming "Nihil obstat!" as they would if it were an interjection. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 20:25, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * So in English it's a noun only: our "Declaration" sense should be as is but sub ==Noun== and our "No objections" sense should be RFVed. Is it SOP in Latin? —msh210℠ (talk) 20:56, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say so, because it the two words put together mean "nothing hinders", but the phrase as a whole means "nothing in canon law hinders the publication of this work". —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 21:31, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I strongly object to labeling as interjections standalone expressions that are not expressions of emotion and could be called phrases. Phrase may not always be accurate but it the inappropriateness of the definition is less. Hard categorization of the particular type of standalone expression is possible and vastly more linguistically useful than either of the misnomers. DCDuring TALK 22:15, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree completely, and my carryover (from the entry) use of "Interjection" without objection above should not be construed otherwise (viz as endorsement). —msh210℠ (talk) 05:14, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I've edited per the above discussion. I think it's good and am striking. Please unstrike and continue the discussion if needed, and of course edit further. —msh210℠ (talk) 05:23, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:thereagain

RFC discussion: October–November 2013
Something is wrong. Possibilities include:
 * 1) This is a Middle English, not English word.
 * 2) There is a missing English word again:, from which this word derives.
 * 3) The word is borrowed into English from Scottish or Middle English.

I don't have the resources to resolve this. DCDuring TALK 22:33, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

 * I read in a search result (but not on the page linked to - damn those snippet views) that "Thereagain and thereagainst are given as two different entries in the OED but their meanings are exactly parallel. The first OED entry for thereagain comes from 1023, the first occurrence in the Helsinki Corpus is nearly 150 years earlier (878)." — Pingkudimmi 12:39, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The synonymous thereagainst seems plausible in contemporary usage, though it would probably be called archaic. I guess one question is when thereagain went out of usage in English, ie, became obsolete. That would address the first possibility.
 * I think I'll go with the third possibility. DCDuring TALK 15:57, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Thereagain, we (and the OED) seem to be missing current (dialectal?, rare?) usage (as I've just used it), meaning something similar to "however" but slightly stronger. Is this the last remaining vestige of the word labelled as obsolete?    D b f  i  r  s   18:24, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I always thought that that was due to confusion with then again. --WikiTiki89 18:52, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * You might be right, or it could be the other way round. I can't find enough evidence for which is the older usage, so I can't prove my claim.    D b f  i  r  s   20:44, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The meaning "however" can be logically derived from "then + again", but not quite from "there + again". Therefore I can't see it being the other way around. --WikiTiki89 21:02, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thereagain, that might be just a false etymology coined by those who don't understand the word thereagain which has meant contrariwise; on the other side for the last thousand years according to the OED. I've added a cite to again to illustrate that it still means against in northern England (and not just Scottish or Middle English).    D b f  i  r  s   21:34, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The entry seems "clean" enough now, but it could use some polishing: the "obsolete" tag might not be correct. I suppose that we need some evidence or authority or, at least, prevailing opinion that it is in more-or-less current use somewhere. DCDuring TALK 19:55, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Isn't that spelt as "there again"? Of the 633 pages with "there again" (searching on google in discussions), 330 have but there again, as far as I can tell often meaning on the other hand. --80.114.178.7 11:50, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does seem like a reanalysis of thereagain resulting from the loss of familiarity with the use of again ("against") as a preposition and the fossilization of all the words constructed as there + a preposition. DCDuring TALK 13:45, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think it has to have but. There again I might be wrong. DCDuring TALK 13:56, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know whether it has to have "but there again" in 2013. If this sense is mostly used as but there again (and unrelated senses of there again keep being used like before), this sense will require but in the future, because that will be the predominent way people will have heard it. You're a native speaker, how does "however there again" compare to "but there again"? --80.114.178.7 23:38, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I think the(re|n) again is a survival/remnant of the old meaning on the other hand of "again". --80.114.178.7 23:38, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * A link to might help. I first wrote "the(re|n) again", then remembered daarentegen, but not everyone might link gain, tegen and gegen. --80.114.178.7 00:03, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Feel free to add what you think is right to thereagain, there again, then again, or any other entry. I'll take a look at the three and alter them to fit our formatting if necessary. DCDuring TALK 01:52, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Rfd-sense: Columbia Rediviva, a famous American sailing ship.

Is there anything special about this ship that it needs its own definition? From my non-American bias it just seems to be the name of a ship, which is clearly not dictionary material. -- Liliana • 20:15, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. If anything, have a "See also" section linking to this on Wikipedia, rather than a sense line; but I doubt it's worth it. Equinox ◑ 01:02, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. As far as I can tell, we don't have ship names, except for the occasional exception like the Titanic which has entered the langage as a symbol of something. Having just the one makes no sense, especially since most Americans have never heard of it, let alone anyone outside the US. I would say that even the space-shuttle sense is borderline, though its association with tragedy might argue for some kind of symbolic overtones. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:45, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. The sense seems to be there to support the following sense, "The space shuttle Columbia, named after the sailing ship", which should probably deleted as well. —Angr 11:53, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * It's very borderline (Challenger is more commonly used to refer to a disaster). I gave it the benefit of the doubt but wouldn't mind if someone else nominated it as well. -- Liliana • 14:28, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong keep: The river was named after the ship. The spaceship was named after the ship.  Ergo, both definitions are dependent on the ship.  Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 21:17, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I would expect you to defend your definition, but... according to Burbank, California: "The city was named after David Burbank, a New Hampshire–born dentist and entrepreneur". We have an entry for Burbank- does that mean we should have one for the dentist (who Wikipedia doesn't consider notable enough for an article)?. Presence in etymologies isn't a reason for having an entry, especially since we can link to Wikipedia articles. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:46, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The two are hardly analogous. The fact that the ship has a Wikipedia article is the first way that comes to mind.  You mention only a few ships have entries here.  a) Columbia should be one of the ones that does, and b) I see no policy arbitrary limiting the number of ships.  Also, the fact that no one has heard of it now is hardly relevant; notability at any period in recorded history is sufficient; the ship had such notability 100-200 years ago  Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 00:41, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Deleted. I have merged the pertinent etymological information into the definition line for the space shuttle. bd2412 T 13:56, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Not an interfix, but the preposition used both before and after a hyphen. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:55, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. It is simply on. If we don't, we will end up with entries being added, one-by-one, for many English prepositions wrapped in hyphens, then entries for other English words used in hyphenated orthography. DCDuring TALK  19:06, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * If it were simply "on", one would write "Stratford on Avon" instead of "Stratford-on-Avon", but note "Stratford-upon-Avon". --80.114.178.7 19:51, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Deleted. The examples have been moved to on. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:53, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
