RFV discussion: October 2011–March 2012
The whole entry is really suspect.

First of all, there's a Translingual entry at the very top. I highly doubt any medicine terms can be properly considered "translingual", since languages like Chinese obviously won't use these. In the page history, it can be seen this used to be an English term - we should return to that.

Directly below is a Latin section, but the etymology gives it as a New Latin term. Was this ever used in Latin proper? -- Liliana • 13:43, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * If both fail RFV, we can revert back to Visvisa's initial version, which is just plain 'English'. Latin only needs one citation as a dead language, for the translingual, not sure how to cite it. Would three citations in any language suffice? And if it therefore passed, wouldn't the Latin be redundant to the Translingual? Mglovesfun (talk) 22:01, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

 * In Wiktionary I thought "translingual" just meant "several languages", not "all languages". There are thousands (probably) of "translingual" definitions for Chinese characters, even though these characters are obviously used in only a very small fraction of the world's languages. 86.179.116.3 13:41, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

 * There was some discussion (which I can't find right now) about replacing all of pizza with a single Translingual section, since it is used in quite a lot of the world's languages. This suggestion was rejected for several reasons. We should probably do the same here. -- Liliana • 13:57, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Translingual section deleted (replaced with the old English section). Latin section kept, because I assume it's used in New Latin, and New Latin is Latin for the purposes of L2 headers. - -sche (discuss) 06:37, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:dropped

RFV discussion: October 2011–March 2012
Rfv-senses: both adjective senses. For example I think the cricket sense is always the verb 'drop' used in the passive voice. Like 'he was dropped', 'he had already been dropped'. You can say a 'dropped batsman' but the batsman can't be 'more dropped than' or 'very dropped'. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:06, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, one batsman could be dropped more often than another. (but yes, they are probably just uses of the past participle) SemperBlotto 16:13, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Something like the 'most dropped batsman in history' is not different from 'the most attacked house in history'. Still feels like a verb form to me. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:20, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Do I understand correctly that not only a ball, but a batsman can be dropped? That is, a dropped ball leads to a dropped batsman? Can one say "He dropped X twice today", where X is a batsman? If so, there would seem to be a missing cricket sense of drop. DCDuring TALK 17:57, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Not quite - a batsman is said to be dropped when a fielder drops the ball. "X was dropped on 15 but went on to score a century." SemperBlotto 18:56, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the verb drop does merit a cricket sense, as when the batsman is dropped, he's not literally suspended from a height and then dropped, the ball which he has hit is dropped. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Search Google Books for "broken calva" and you'll see sufficiently many hits for the second etymology. (To my surprise, only calvae, not calvas is attested as the plural of that sense, at least in my not-that-determined search.)
 * Search for "glass of calva" and "two calvas" and you will likewise see hits for the third etymology. I have combined "brandy" and "a glass of this brandy" rather than cite each individually.

"Clear calva" (because the sport is "so named after the field on which the game is played, which is cleared of any obstacles") also finds nothing.

Talk:power bottom

RFV
There is strong disagreement on the meaning of this term. IMHO it means a submissive bottom and all the quotations support that, especially if you read through the whole page or paragraph in the books they come from. I have heard it used to mean a dominant bottom, however that is a separate sense, and IMHO is it has not been substantiated. Another user has repeatedly edited out the definiton that matches the sources, and later added the sources to the unattested meaning so that it had three or more, then blocked me claiming I was edit warring. Whatever. So I would like others to chime in their opinion.Acdcrocks 21:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm reminded of a scene from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where the gang goes back and forth about what such terms mean, but I wouldn't consider it a reliable source of information. ~ Robin 22:35, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * ~ Robin 22:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * ~ Robin 22:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Troy, you're just a troublemaker. As far as your claim that the original definition of a dominant bottom is "unsubstantiated", look at the very first quotation which reads: In one phrase, power bottom means, "Shut up and lie down. I'll take care of the rest." None of your quotations suggest anything different. In fact, none of them really say anything about the dominance of a power bottom or not. Periooooood —  [Ric Laurent] — 22:47, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Ric, the point of this forum is to avoid trouble and engender consensus and cooperation. It is unsubstantiated, all the quotes I added clearly indicated a submissive bottom, or at the very least a bottom that enjoys rigorous anal penetration on his end (no pun intended). There are not three quotes to represent a dominant bottom, therefore that definition is no substantiated. That is my point exactly, a power bottom is not a dominant sexual partner, he is a submissive one, whether it be in BDSM or in sex, a power bottom or power top, the power is a modifier meaning more, bottoms are the passive sexual partner so a power bottom is even more passive partner. You're gay you should know this. Now that some power bottoms like to take charge is true but that is typically called a bossy bottom. I think you are being unreasonable and territorial since you created this entry and don't want to admit a mistake nor let me add the more common usage of this term.Acdcrocks 09:28, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

 * None of the quotes you added make any indication of the submissiveness of anyone on either side. Fact. The only quote that indicates whether a power bottom is dominant or submissive is the one I added, and it's VERY clearly pointing to a dominant bottom. The bottom is "in power" hence the name, power bottom. (I should make it known at this point that I don't expect a response from this user unless someone overturns my permanent ban of him. For the record, I've banned him for being a persistent troublemaker/drama queen.) —  [Ric Laurent] — 12:56, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This looks like an RfD candidate. power: is used attributively in this general way with many words. It is most commonly an intensifier. In some cases it converts a word usually conveying implications of weakness or insufficiency into something stronger or more adequate. DCDuring TALK 14:51, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

 * No it's its own word, power+bottom=a strong butt, if the average person were to analyze it, and although power bottoms (good ones) can have a muscular buttocks that is not what the term means nor is it used that way. Not question at hand is that power bottom means a submissive bottom in addition to a bossy bottom.71.142.73.25 20:08, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

But even with my native-speaker knowledge of the meanings of power and bottom (and as a gay man myself I am well aware of the relevant meaning of bottom), I don't think I'd be able to deduce the meaning of this term from its parts. And to judge from the citations, other people who have used the word aren't entirely sure what it means either. Also, the 2010 quote makes it clear there's a demand for "power bottom" as a dictionary entry! —Angr 21:53, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Keep. It's an attested set phrase that carries a specific meaning in the vernacular of the gay community. Even as someone who was already familiar with this particular meaning of "bottom," I wasn't entirely sure what "power bottom" indicated until I read the definition, as "power," used attributively, doesn't automatically translate to "dominant" or "commanding." If one uses "power user" as a basis of comparison, it's possible to interpret this as "an experienced or very good bottom." Astral (talk) 20:10, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Sense
User:Учхљёная suddenly took an odd interest in the page. Aside from [her] misunderstanding of the terms "antonym" and "coordinate", [she] seems to object to the use of "anal sex" in the definition of the term. It's my understanding that "bottom" needs to be distinguished from "top" and the equivalent definitions are all focused on anal sex.

Is this term used for women receiving vaginal sex at all? Are the male participants in hetero sex known as "tops"? That sense should be added to those terms. — LlywelynII  15:07, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * As a lesbian, I can confirm that it is used to refer to such among women, but it is also used to refer to non-binary people and men with vaginas who fit the criteria. I still don't think I understand why you think I misunderstood antonym vs. coordinate, much less why you believe I'm a "vandal" for expressing such. I'd also like to add that I never denied that it needs to be distinguished from top, which, if anything, should support my argument of considering service top an antonym. -/ut͡ʃxʎørnɛja ☭/ (탁ᷞ, кон-, ឯឌឹត្ស, 𐎛𐎓𐎄𐎛𐎚𐎒). 15:19, 23 April 2019 (UTC).

"(transitive, US) In American English usage only, to authorise frequently not only has the precise meaning above, but also means that the action being authorised was actually carried out, or at least started." What the? ---> Tooironic 11:05, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Tosh, speedy delete please. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:07, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Could possibly be a usage note, but probably not. It's true that "the government authorized the/a raid", "the judge authorized their apprehension" and "the executive authorized the/a takeover bid" all imply that the raid/apprehension/bid were carried out, but I think that's implied by any statement with that form (past tense, non-perfect) / meaning (someone was given the ability to do something). "The commander gave the sailors permission to leave", "the council empowered the task force to act", ... all imply the granted ability was used. - -sche (discuss) 17:33, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think that a very strong implication of completion can be drawn from the use of the word authorize:, even in a past tense. There are particular classes of situations in which the implication might be stronger, but that does not seem to be inherent in the word, but rather in the situation/context. If the action authorized is one that the entity that carries it out wants to perform but is constrained by the lack of authorization, then a past-tense authorization makes the execution highly likely. But the converse is true also. If the entity that carries out the action doesn't want to execute the action, the authorization is not likely to imply execution and may imply lack of execution. DCDuring TALK 14:05, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm removing it now. Authorize simply doesn't imply that the action was carried out, in any tense, in American or any other variety of English.

Originates in Harry Potter. Doesn't seem to meet WT:CFI, looking at Usenet. Equinox ◑ 15:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds awfully like something Robin would say to Batman. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:22, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The interjection is a Potterism. However, as a noun, it might meet CFI as an object of worship in Madagascar! SemperBlotto 15:24, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I've dug up three cites (including the quote from the first Harry Potter movie). It seems to be an alternative form of holy crickets, which is attestable back to 1922. I've got to wonder if this arose in the same manner that I imagine holy cow did (the cow being sacred in Hinduism, and thus considered safe to take in vain in place of "God," "Jesus," etc. by members of the Abrahamic faiths). Astral 02:36, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The last cite isn't durably archived, being on a webpage.--Prosfilaes 07:13, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a story from a major sports network that was reprinted by several local news affiliates. I'm honestly confused now, because I've been culling citations from online news resources like CNN, MTV, Wired, Gamespot, etc. for a while now (and have seen others doing the same), and this is the first time I've seen a concern raised over them. CFI says: "As Wiktionary is an online dictionary, this naturally favors media such as Usenet groups, which are durably archived by Google." I've been interpreting this to mean that online sources are acceptable as long they seem to possess staying power comparable to the Google Groups archive. Nothing on the internet is permanent, but it stands to reason that content hosted on a major media site like CNN or Wired is much less likely to disappear than content hosted on someone's Blogspot blog or LiveJournal. Can someone resolve my confusion? Thanks. Astral 16:21, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I've generally seen that as interpreted as just Usenet and printed sources. I don't see why it stands to reason that content hosted on CNN or Wired is unlikely to disappear; I've seen many links to news sites come up broken, and major sites sometimes seem to be more likely to change everything and lose old content then more quiet sites. Certainly I have no reason to trust that link to go anywhere in another decade.
 * That said, with those two more Usenet cites, it's should be fine.--Prosfilaes 09:03, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Major news outlets like CNN have the resources to keep their content live into the foreseeable future. When content disappears for good from the original site (as opposed to gets moved behind a paywall, which means it can still be accessed fully by paying, or partially through a Google News Archive Search), there's usually an archived copy of it to be found on the Wayback Machine.
 * I don't see how this really differs from the situation with Usenet. The Usenet posts cited here on Wiktionary are achived copies of the originals hosted by Google. The future accessibility of these copies depends entirely on whether Google continues to make this Usenet archive available. They've certainly got the resources to do so at this time, but there's no guarantee the tide won't turn for them down the line, leading them to pull the plug on the archive.
 * Even most newspaper citations aren't derived from the original printed papers, but from digital copies, which are often based on earlier microfiche copies.
 * I don't think any URL can be trusted to work indefinitely. That's why citations don't only give a URL, but the article's author, title, date, etc. — to enable people to go looking for alternate copies in the event that the particular URL linked to goes dead. Astral 16:32, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Usenet archives apparently exist on multiple servers. There is a supporting norm against the deletion of their content. Resource-rich organizations rarely have such norms in practice. Wayback is a relatively new institution with uncertain funding.

Harry Potter quote writer
Currently Steve Kloves is credited as writer, as he wrote the script, but perhaps Chris Columbus, director, deserves some credit? Also, interestingly and importantly, Emma Watson, the actress who played Hermione, was in actuality the person who improvised the scene by coming up with the phrase, and they all simply decided to stick with it, though, granted, Kloves is obviously still the official writer of the movie's script. David Heyman is the producer.
 * I believe it is convention on Wiktionary to credit just the screenwriter(s) in film quotations for simplicity's sake. Similar to how songs are credited to the band or artist, rather than to the lyricist, who may or may not be the artist or part of the band. There are evidently a lot of people who help bring a movie from page to screen, but when Wiktionary includes quotes in an entry, our main concern is showing how the term we are defining is used. We provide enough information about the source of a quotation (e.g., the movie, book, etc.) to allow readers to reference it themselves. So it's enough to credit "Yesterday" to the Beatles, rather than to Paul McCartney specifically. More detailed information — like who wrote the lyrics to a song or who directed and produced a film — are best left to the relevant Wikipedia articles. Although it might be worth noting in the etymology that Emma Watson was the one who came up with this expression for Philosopher's Stone. -Cloudcuckoolander (formerly Astral) (talk) 06:52, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Nice take on it. I agree completely. Someone add Emma Watson in some fitting way if possible, but nevertheless it's not a big deal regardless, and all the information necessary is in many ways there necessary. - Bjørnar Munkerud, orgininal post writer; June 2013

Talk:holding company

See Requests for verification archive/2012. - -sche (discuss) 20:20, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

RFV discussion: February–March 2012
Sense: "(business) A company without significant operations that only holds ownership interests in other companies." Really? ---> Tooironic 13:44, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, really. It's the first sense which is wrong. The definition is that of a parent company. --Hekaheka 17:21, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The new definition would include any investment company, such as a venture capital firm or a mutual fund. I think that, in practice, holding company is not used for such entities. In the US, in particular, the application of the term is influenced by Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 and Personal holding company. I think that, in practice, holding companies usually have a controlling interest in one or more of the companies whose shares they own. In any event, the term is not applied to companies better characterized in some other way except with the SoP meaning of "a company that principally holds securities". DCDuring TALK 19:13, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Let's see how others have defined a holding company:
 * businessdictionary.com: ''Type of business organization that allows a firm (called parent) and its directors to control or influence other firms (called subsidiaries). This arrangement makes venturing outside one's core industry possible and, under certain conditions, to benefit from tax consolidation, sharing of operating losses, and ease of divestiture. The legal definition of a holding company varies with the legal system. Some require holding of a majority (80 percent) or the entire (100 percent) voting shares of the subsidiary whereas other require as little as five percent.
 * Freedictionary: a company, usually a corporation, which is created to own the stock of other corporations, thereby often controlling the management and policies of all of them.
 * Investopedia: A parent corporation that owns enough voting stock in another corporation to control its board of directors (and, therefore, controls its policies and management).
 * About.com: A holding company is a company which owns controlling shares in another company or companies (assuming all of these companies are corporations), or a corporation organized to own and control other corporations. This control usually comes through owning a controlling interest (more than 50 percent) of the stock of the other companies, which are considered subsidiary companies.
 * An adviser in UK investment: A holding company provides a means of concentrating control of several companies with a minimum of investment; other means of gaining control, such as mergers or consolidations, are more complicated legally and more expensive. A holding company can reap the benefits of a subsidiary's goodwill and reputation while limiting its liability to the proportion of the subsidiary's stock that it owns. The parent company in a conglomerate corporation is usually a holding company. Strictly speaking, the term "holding company" might be used to describe any company that owns a majority of shares in another company however this may only apply if that corporation's only reason for existence is to hold stock in other companies. Usually, though, the term signifies a company which does not produce goods or services itself, but, rather, whose only purpose is owning shares of other companies (or owning other companies outright). Holding companies allow the reduction of risk for the owners and can allow the ownership and control of a number of different companies. The owned companies may be: subsidiary companies - the holding company owns more than 50% thus giving control. Associated companies - the parent company owns 20-50%. This is a large shareholding should provide considerable influence (but not control) over the associated company. How much influence will depend on ownership of the other shares? Owning 49% and wanting control when a rival company has a 51% stake may be a less than appropriate strategy. Related companies as similar to associated companies. They typically own fewer than 20% of shares in another company. This holding may be held because good dividends may be expected or the two companies are co-operating with each other in some area of business. Small shareholdings may be held by banks or Unit or Investment Trust companies as ingredients in their portfolio of ownership.
 * Another source (calling itself "Global Database"): Holding companies are conglomerates that own other firms. A company that owns enough voting stock in another firm to control management and operations by influencing or electing its board of directors. Also called parent company. It usually refers to a company which does not produce goods or services itself, rather its only purpose is owning shares of other companies. Holding companies allow the reduction of risk for the owners and can allow the ownership and control of a number of different companies. The use of a holding company is legally simpler and less expensive than other means of gaining control of another company, such as merger or consolidation. A holding company is able to reap the benefits of a subsidiary’s goodwill and reputation, yet its liability is limited to the proportion of the subsidiary’s stock that it owns. These and other factors make holding companies an effective form of organization on both national and international levels. The parent company in a conglomerate corporation is usually a holding company.
 * --Hekaheka 22:44, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I like the economy of the Free Dictionary definition. I think they have captured the essence of the matter and have not attempted to address the variable relationship the term may have to "parent" and "conglomerate". There is the possibility that the holding company is not actually created for the purpose, but rather merely used for the purpose, as, for example, a "clean public shell (corporation)". The longer the definition, the more likely it is to not cover a significant share of the usage instances. I would not want to have to produce citations to show all attributes mentioned in the longer definitions. We could see whether the term "parent" is inherent. I think "parent" is an attribute of an entity that arises to distinguish it from other entities in the family. A "conglomerate" could itself be an operating company and own no shares in other companies. DCDuring TALK 04:04, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm in the belief that "parent company" is any company that owns the majority of stock in another company. It may or may not have also other business. If owning stock is its sole business, it may also be called "holding company". A holding company may be parent company to some or all of its holdings. It may be a minority holder in every one of its holdings, in which case it cannot be called a parent. To sum up, "parent" refers to the kind of relationship of one company to another and "holding" refers to the kind of business that some companies do. --Hekaheka 14:53, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think "parent" is a word that needs to be in this definition. It could be a "see also" term. DCDuring TALK 16:19, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Seems that everyone is more or less happy with what we have accomplished on this one -> striking. --Hekaheka (talk) 19:12, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Rfv-sense "aversion to flesh". It has one citation, but I can't find any others, despite the relatively large (300+) number of Google Books hits for the word. The other sense, "fear of meat", just failed RFV. - -sche (discuss) 02:37, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: adjective, not comparable, laboratory. Surely this is just attributive use of the noun. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Also no such definition at laboratory. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:14, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should discuss the whole class in the same time. Taking a look at other similar entries, for example tin, cotton, wool and wood have "made of ~" as sole adjective sense. Copper, bronze, silver and gold are recognized as colours, but they also have a "made of ~" sense listed, whereas zinc, clay, cloisonne, enamel, steel and aluminum do not feature an adjective section at all. In iron the adjective sense is recognized under separate etymology (!) and it has the sense "strong" in addition to "made of ~". Plastic has a lot of adjective senses, among them "constructed of polymer". Also brass has many adjective senses but "made of ~" is not among them. --Hekaheka 07:54, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
