 * I think it would be better to change to return . I find "proscribed" a poor choice of word, since it implies to me that we are proscribing the term, that we are declaring the usage wrong. —Ruakh TALK 21:52, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Some languages have standards bodies that prescribe and proscribe certain usages. Presumably the idea is that people who call something 'wrong' appeal to an authority such as that. And I suppose people will appeal to us, too, if they want to. —CodeCat 22:45, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with Ruakh's suggestion, especially for or at least for English. Even the most authoritative sources have more nuanced approaches than mere "proscription". Garner's Modern American Usage, for example, has five grades of acceptability. They do not claim much authority for themselves, but claim to be reporting and synthesizing the views of others. AHD organized a board of authorities. We have a difficult time supporting our claims that something in English is "proscribed" by others. We have even less basis for such declaring such proscription ourselves. DCDuring TALK 00:12, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:aethiops

RFM discussion: July–August 2011
A species epithet. Should be a Latin adjective, not a Translingual proper noun. DCDuring TALK 18:23, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Depends if it's used in Latin; some called taxonomic Latin 'pseudo-Latin', that is to say it looks like Latin but isn't; don't move to Latin if it's unattested. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:52, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * EP makes the argument such things are Latin because a binomial (and trinomial) species names are in fact Latin noun phrases, following the applicable Latin grammar rules. Apparently New Latin is falling/has fallen out of use for species descriptions, but had been the matrix in which such noun phrases had a fuller linguistic role. The argument is straightforward and reflected in most or our practice affecting such terms. Are we retrograding to the "arbitrariness of the sign" to dismantle such arguments? DCDuring TALK 04:09, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I still want attestation. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:09, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I believe (due to comments made here) that EP was in the minority when he made that argument, however. - -sche (discuss) 08:44, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * But his vote was as the vote of ten because his arguments were cogent. The consistent system he seems to advocate is that all species epithets are Latin, that two- and three-part taxonomic names don't belong at Wiktionary. This is consistent with the standard practice of italicizing two+-part taxonomic names. That is, the community that uses the whole range of such names views and treat them as if Latin. That New Latin in all its forms (medical, legal, taxonomic, inscriptions and seals, ecclesiastical) deviates from classical Latin and is treated infra dig by many seems an interesting phenomenon of prescriptivism. DCDuring TALK 13:03, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * DCDuring, If you doubt that it can be attested, why propose the move? --Mglovesfun (talk) 20:41, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Because I think that attestation by usage in species names is sufficient. If no one else does, then I have no idea what to do with such terms. I leave it to those who haven't worked in the area and know little about such usage to solve for themselves as they see fit. DCDuring TALK 22:25, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Category talk:Radio

RFM discussion: June–July 2010
You would think this topical categories has such terms like frequency modulation, very high frequency or band, especially seeing as this category is a member of Category:Physics. However it mostly consists of terms like game show, which are probably not used in the field of physics. Therefore, this should be split up into something covering actual radio/TV stations, and this category should only have physics terms. -- Prince Kassad 16:18, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Support splitting, although I can't think of what the new category should be called... --Yair rand (talk) 19:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Same opinion. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:34, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Clearly the polysemic term "radio" is unsuitable as a one-part category name because the selection of its meaning is too context dependent. We could recategorize the entries having to do with the physics of radio waves as "physics" (very high frequency, band), broadcast technology as "communication engineering" (frequency modulation). Perhaps the remainder should be a category such as "media" displaying as "radio", relying on the context to convey which sense of "radio" is applicable. Many terms related to the content of broadcast radio programs are the same as those for TV program content, so perhaps they could be combined as "broadcasting", though "radio and TV" or, more wastefully, "radio and television" would be more intuitive. Finally, some terms my be used in more than one of these contexts (eg, FM, AM). The context "radio" may be very intuitive in its meaning in an entry, but cannot yield an appropriate categorization. DCDuring TALK 11:02, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, the name "radio" is less than ideal, mainly because it has widely different meanings in foreign languages as well as English. We already have Category:Television as a subcat of Category:Entertainment, it may be better to move some of the terms to Category:Broadcasting (which incidentally happens to already exist) since they apply to radio stations too. The other, purely physical terms should get their own category. -- Prince Kassad 11:45, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I have invited Conrad to weigh in as he has been doing most of the work on mapping context tags to categories. There is a trade-off between the intuitiveness and good meaning-in-context of terms like "radio" and the fact that they apparently should map to distinct categories depending on the sub-context in which used. DCDuring TALK 11:55, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Since when did I do anything with categories? :p. Instinctively I agree, using an ambiguous name for a category is yucky. Practically, I imagine that we don't have enough common single-meaning terms, to adequately cover our category space - and I think using common words is definitely a constraint to consider. In some ways it would be cool (though very confusing) to have multiple categories with the same name, that differ by the category they are in broadcasting > radio, and physics > radio as separate. I think I prefer "radio" as meaning related to the physical thing, something that is on the radio is not necessarily anything to do with the radio itself, so would advocate splitting the remainder off into something like "radio programming" or "radio broadcasting". I don't think we can have a general solution to the problem, other than be vigilant in spotting categories being abused - maybe we'll get some ruels of thumb over time.

Category talk:Requests for gender in Latin entries

RFM discussion: June 2013
Sometimes we want things other than nouns to have genders, but I doubt we want another category for that. "terms" is better than "entries" because we also include genders in translations, which are not entries. There is also a difference between lacking a gender altogether and simply having an incomplete gender. For example, Slovene nouns divide masculine nouns into animate and inanimate, and this is normally specified as part of the gender (m-an, m-in). So if you specify just "m" for a Slovene noun, it's not a complete gender, but it's not lacking a gender either. So "incomplete" is more inclusive. The same applies to Dutch, where users may specify "c" as the gender but this should really be "m" or "f". 17:31, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

空穴來風

Etymology
From 《》 by :

Note: the historical usage of the idiom may be etymologically unrelated to the mainstream usage today.

Idiom

 * 1)  to be not completely unsound; to have a basis for its existence
 * 2)  to be completely unsound; to be utterly baseless

Usage notes
This term can both mean "to be not completely unsound" and "to be completely unsound", with different dictionaries offering competing (and contradictory) definitions of the term, although in modern usage the latter definition appears more frequently. However, this latter definition is proscribed by certain media publications based on the etymology and historical usage of the term, arguing that this is a common writing mistake and that the former definition should be used instead.

Some scholars note that the ambiguous meaning of 空 in this idiom may have given rise to the contradictory definitions. For the definition of "to be not completely unsound", 空 refers to "empty", i.e. that an empty hole easily gives rise to wind, implying that a rumour has reason to have arisen. For the definition of "to be completely unsound", 空 refers to "none", i.e. that no hole exists which could have given rise to wind, implying that a rumour has no reason to arise and has been fabricated from nothing. Thus, 空穴來風 should not be viewed as a single lemma but as two separate idioms (perhaps with separate etymologies) with the same written form (同形詞). Others argue that this is an instance where misunderstanding and mistaken use of the original idiom has displaced the intended definition to become the mainstream use.

From its 6th edition, 《現代漢語詞典》 (Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese) records both meanings under its entry for 空穴來風. Prior editions had only recorded the definition "to be completely unsound".

Category talk:English diminutives of male given names

Category:English diminutives of female given names
I think these need to be split as not all of the names are diminutives. Some are non-diminutive nicknames. Alternatively it could be renamed Category:English nicknames of male given names. Or it could be Category:English male nicknames.

I think that nickname and diminutive are overlapping categories. Aren't Francine and Mariella diminutives of Frances and Maria, respectively? But they are not nicknames. Similarly, Jake is a nickname for Jacob/Jacques, but not a diminutive.

I don't know whether the categories and their application are correct with respect to other languages, but the application of has lead to a bad result for English. DCDuring TALK 00:17, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Do you mean that a diminutive has something added (Franc+ine, John+ny) and a nickname has something subtracted (Jake-(c)ob, Rob-ert)? Or what is the difference? Is this a meaningful way to split a category? Francine is defined as a formal given name in French and English. It derives from an ancient diminutive, but that's etymology. The diminutive definitions and categories are based on the way a name is used, not on its grammatical form. Diminutives and formal given names often overlap, and what's a diminutive in one language may be a formal given name in another: Tommy for example. So use of Template:given name seems reasonable.

 * I agree that "diminutive" is not the perfect category name, but are the alternatives any better? "Nickname" applies to words like Shorty, Dubya, Shug that are not linguistically related to a person's real given name. "Pet name" sounds too colloquial to me, and "hypocorism" is the opposite of a "pejorative" with Russian names. Changing the name would take a lot of manual work. Not all the entries use the template. --Makaokalani (talk) 14:45, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * What makes you think that "'nickname' applies to words... that are not linguistically related to a person's real given name"? I would certainly say Tom is a nickname for Thomas, Bill is a nickname for William, Liz is a nickname for Elizabeth, etc. Those aren't the only kind of nicknames, but they are nicknames. —Angr 15:07, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure, but terms like Shorty should not be listed in the same category with Tom, Bill and Liz. You can create a separate category for them. I meant "the word nickname also applies to..."--Makaokalani (talk) 15:52, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Whatever else, the current name is applicable only to a subset of those now in the category. It is mostly populated by when the parameter 'diminutive' is applied. If there were other possibilities for other kinds of derivations, then the template would not create the erroneous results it does. A category of derived names for which diminutives would be a subcategory would be fine with me.
 * The template did not specify 'diminutive' until January 2010. I'd be happy with a rollback to the edit before that, but there have been later changes that may have some value. DCDuring TALK 00:34, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The members of the categories are called hypocorisms or pet names, judging from online dictionaries. The current name is wrong, IMHO, or misleading anyway. --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:34, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'd meant to look up hypocorism. It is not really suitable for use as part of a category name if we intend the category for use by normal users, rather than us or language professionals. I probably would be OK to group nicknames, diminutives, and other similar types of names, if there are others to include. DCDuring TALK 23:06, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Just to make clear that we are discussing the same thing: I oppose splitting the diminutive categories. It would be confusing, and impossible to do in many languages (e.g. Finnish). Tom and Bill certainly belong to the same category as Tommy and Billy. Terms like Dubya and Shorty are now uncategorized and need some other category ("Nicknames?"). Terms like Francine are not diminutives in English or French. (I can see some old entries have confusing definitions like "A male given name, diminutive of X", the diminutive part properly belonging to the etymology.) I oppose removing the diminutive= parameter from Template:given name. Changing it to something else, and changing the names of all diminutive categories (21 male, 16 female) would not bother me provided someone else does it all, including the tiresome manual work. Webster's 2003 definition of diminutive includes: "used of affixes (as -ette, -kin, -ling) and of words formed with them (--), of clipped forms (as Jim), and of altered forms (as Peggy)", so the present category name is not completely wrong. Our definition of diminutive includes endearments.--Makaokalani (talk) 09:42, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Is this category supposed to be directed at normal users or linguists or is it intended as some kind of maintenance category? Diminutive for normal users implies "small" and may connote "belittling".
 * In English, the categorization based on affixes alone cannot be semantic, it is etymological. The word "diminutive" does not seem appropriate for display on the definition line in cases where "diminutive" in the normal user sense is not accurate, though the etymological sense applies. Perhaps we need to create a special template for use in the etymology section of names to categorize into diminutives. I am aware that diminutives seem to be virtually inflectional in some languages, at least in the opinion of, say, some of our Dutch contributors. But I don't think that an approach based on that model is appropriate for English.
 * It seems to me that we have can have almost nothing to say about the meaning of names, rather than their derivation. At best we can provide a non-gloss definition. I doubt that we have a fact base to use to check the correctness of such assertions as often used as a pet name/term of endearment. DCDuring TALK 13:17, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Another candidate term: familiar form: try ; there, Dictionary of First Names by Iseabail C. MacLeod, Terry Freedman, 1995 uses the term. In spite of Merriam-Webster's "diminutive" entry siding with Makaokalani, I still disfavor "diminutive". --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:16, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That might work. But I'm not sure that a person whose birth certificate says his given name is Jim views the name as a "familiar form" or a "pet name" or a "diminutive".
 * If we don't consign the relationship to other names to Etymology, the only place it belongs IMO, then for display we need something other than "diminutive" for those cases where that is in appropriate, eg, Jimbo. It is obviously related to James, but is decidedly NOT a diminutive. DCDuring TALK 16:48, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:few sandwiches short of a picnic

RFM discussion: July 2010
Move to sandwich short of a picnic (or sandwiches short of a picnic or some sandwiches short of a picnic). "Few" may not even be the most common quantifier. "two sandwiches short of a picnic" is also very common at bgc. But others included on the first 50 raw hits were "a couple", "three", "seven", "many". Also the singular form outnumbered the plural form 308 to 218 at bgc. Redirects from the "few" and "two" forms seem necessary. DCDuring TALK 18:47, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The general construction is something like "Q [component NP] [short, shy] of a [whole NP]", where Q is taken from among a list of common quantifiers. One extreme example of creative use of the construction is "the scene was one Gidget and two Wilson Brothers shy of a beach movie." DCDuring TALK 19:00, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Wiktionary talk:SC

RFM discussion: September 2010
I'd appreciate if the following shortcuts pointed to the these specific pages:
 * WT:WT to Shortcuts
 * WT:SC to Scripts

To achieve this, the following changes have to be made: --Daniel. 18:40, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Removing the shortcut WT:SC from Wiktionary:Shortcut.
 * Making WT:SC be the shortcut to Wiktionary:Scripts.
 * Renaming Wiktionary:Shortcut to Wiktionary:Shortcuts.
 * What's the benefit to users/editors, to offset the cost of having people type something in the address bar of their browsers which no longer works as they expect? —msh210℠ (talk) 18:50, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * How would my proposal make the address bar of someone no longer work as they expect?
 * Wiktionary:Shortcut may be a shortcut to Wiktionary:Shortcuts, because the pluralized name would be expected in English; then, both names would be functional.
 * WT:SC does not seem to be not a well-known shortcut to Wiktionary:Shortcut.
 * On the other hand sc= is a well-known parameter meaning "script", which is used by, , and other major templates, so WT:SC pointing to the page that explains scripts is a natural choice. --Daniel. 19:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Re "How would...": By making http://en.wiktionary,org/wiki/WT:SC point to something other than what it has hitherto. Shortcuts are especially useful for typing into address bars: that whatlinkshere doesn't show much use doesn't mean it's not used. Re "both names [Wiktionary:Shortcut and Wiktionary:Shortcuts] would be functional": They are already. Re "sc= is a well-known parameter": You're right, of course; IMO that reason doesn't outweigh the fact that it would break the current shortcut; what do others think? Note that [ [Wiktionary:Shortcut]] does say, right at the top, "'WT:SC' redirects here. You may be looking for Wiktionary:Scripts". —msh210℠ (talk) 19:22, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * IMO the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, but not by much. Weak support. --Yair rand (talk) 19:30, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Shortcuts are not only typed in address bars, but also linked from pages. The number of links is high for well-known shortcuts such as Special:WhatLinksHere/Wiktionary:ELE and Special:WhatLinksHere/Wiktionary:GP, so the Special:WhatLinksHere/Wiktionary:SC does show that this shortcut is not much used. In fact, the page Wiktionary:Shortcut is short and rarely edited, which are additional reasons to not worry about its traffic. (other improvements such as expansion and updates would certainly be welcome, as a separate subject)
 * I have added the message "'WT:SC' redirects here. You may be looking for Wiktionary:Scripts." today after noticing the lack of SC pointing to scripts. Evidently, if my proposal comes into effect, a similar message would be placed at the top of Wiktionary:Shortcuts. --Daniel. 19:40, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The small numbers of edits and links to WT:Shortcut are at best irrelevant to the proposal. The page is intended as an aide-memoire. It may well get a great deal of use without much editing. In fact, the relative stability of the page should be evidence in favor of a very conservative policy with respect to changing the shortcuts: users expect shortcuts not to change. Let me suggest that WT:SCR is not now in use. DCDuring TALK 20:21, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * DCDuring, I have an analysis different from yours: That the relative stability of Shortcut is not "evidence in favor of a very conservative policy with respect to changing the shortcuts"; that is, as I said, evidence that this particular page is at best not much used, because it simply does not serve its purpose well: it lists only 32 of the 295 redirected pages, therefore it cannot be a reliable resource or aide-memoire for the status of 263 pages. I'd expect the list of shortcuts to be more regularly updated, given that it is linked directly from the affected pages.
 * A good way that I can think of, to known whether or not shortcuts have been changed, is of course by looking at their histories, like in this affirmative example:
 * In fact, there are at least two precedential discussions about changing various shortcuts at once: --Daniel. 04:52, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I find incomprehensible your facile identification of use with editing changes. Also, your failure to grasp what makes an aide-memoire useful for normal humans. As the page states, it is for the core items, not, for example, for the pages that are formed by A + language code, which are of greatest interest to someone who knows the language code for the languages of interest. An aide-memoire is hardly necessary for such. Adding a large number of shortcuts that don't need reminding to WT:SC would render it much less useful. It may well be that the comprehensive list should also have a shortcut (WT:SCC comes to mind.). DCDuring TALK 10:06, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Your idea of adding a large number of shortcuts to Shortcut is, as you say, irrelevant to the proposal; however, the page is rather useless already. In my opinion, your other idea of using WT:SCR for Scripts is not bad, but just not as good as WT:SC for the same page.
 * Pardon my supposed blindness on the reasoning of normal humans; yet, I can easily discriminate between two groups of people by their different knowledge and needs: normal humans and Wiktionary editors. The former is not expected to know that repetitive shortcuts like WT:AEN, WT:AES and WT:RE:ja exist, so a page like Wiktionary:Shortcuts ideally should help these users, at least by pointing the patterns. The lack of such an explanation is one of the reasons for me to affirm that this page is of poor quality, therefore likely to be not used and definitely a bad resource to check whether shortcuts in general are or not changed. --Daniel. 18:55, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You could always improve it. Although it might not me in line with your strategic objective of saving that last keystroke. DCDuring TALK 22:45, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * As a relative newcomer, I have not yet internalized the names of all these shortcuts, so I'm all for the aide-memoire. Support. - Robin 11:59, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:rolling in dough

RFM discussion: July 2010
I am sure that this should be moved, but less sure about the target.

I have created an entry at rolling in it meaning "having an abundance of money". That "it" is money is not always readily inferred from the context. "Rolling in money" is more common than the "dough" or "cash" forms, also found at COCA. It may be that rolling in it should be a redirect to roll in it because other forms besides the progressive are attestable.

Some references have "to roll in" as "have an abundance of", but it occurs much more often in the progressive (-ing) forms than in any other. To call any of these an adjective is wrong, even though it superficially appears to function as one.

The idiom is almost always about money, jewels, or jewelry, though other emblems of success can occur.

In any event, we need an entry for various idiomatic uses of roll in, of which this is one. DCDuring TALK 08:49, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:get one's knickers in a knot

RFM discussion: December 2010
The idiomatic construction essentially includes "[someone's] knickers in a knot". Common collocations include the noun phrase as object of "with" and objective complement of "have" or "get". Also, "knickers" is occasionally modified, as with "collective" or "scanty". I have also seen "put one's knickers in a knot. Furthermore, knot can be replaced by "bunch", "twist", or "bundle" and "knickers" can be replaced with "panties", "boxers", "underwear", "fishnets", "khakis", "skirts", "wiretaps", "tonsils", "knitting", "woggles", "pinny" (?).

Accordingly, I suggest this be moved to [[knickers in a knot]] or, more radically and inclusively, to [[knickers in a]] or even [[in a]]. There could be a number of hard redirects to it. Indeed, [[knickers in a]] would not usefully exist without such redirects. Another alternative would be to delete it and rely on usage examples or citations at [[knickers]], [[bunch]], and [[twist]]. DCDuring TALK 20:46, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

One problem I see, if we had deleted this, is that people searching for it might not start their search with knickers, and our search box seems to never ignore the first word, so if they start by typing get or don't get, the page will absolutely never turn up.— Soap — 12:04, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

This and similar categories is treated as a topic category. The naming of each language's category reflects that. That seems wrong. The entries in the category are not about greetings. They are greetings. DCDuring TALK 10:32, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * True, but most of the entries in Category:Mammals are mammals, and in Category:Fish are fish! The 'and similar' categories are as numerous as the 'not similar' categories. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:37, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

 * It does not follow without the bald assumption (nowhere stated in policy or anywhere AFAICT) that only approved PoS headers are valid lexical categories. We have long had numerous subcategories of our PoS categories. Furthermore, the inadequacies of traditional PoSes have lead grammarians to numerous recategorizations of terms with not all categories fitting into a simple hierarchy under the traditional PoSes. We have now have categories such as Category:English non-constituents, Category:English clitics, and Category:English contractions that don't fit the PoS hierarchy and are clearly not "topical" the way Category:Mammals is.

Category talk:Proto-Indo-European verbs

RFM discussion: October 2010–May 2017
Propose merging into Category:Proto-Indo-European roots because PIE roots are essentially roots of verbs. This was proposed (way back) by Ivan Štambuk on my talk page (User talk:Anypodetos). --ἀνυπόδητος 13:13, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, if often wondered if proto languages have parts of speech. As you say, don't all parts of speech share the same roots? Mglovesfun (talk) 13:32, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. Roots are semantic, they have no real grammatical quality in them, other than that certain roots formed certain parts of speech in actual practice. I believe that PIE roots inherently had a 'primary' part of speech that others were derived from through various forms of derivation. However, it is certainly not true that all roots are verbs, that's just nonsense. —CodeCat 14:19, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * But then what is the difference between these two categories? Cat:PIE verbs contains roots from which verbs are formed (and other parts of speech as well, as *snígʷʰ-s "snow" from *sneygʷʰ- "to stick, to snow". Cat:PIE roots mostly contains such roots as well, with some exceptions like *pel- "grey". --ἀνυπόδητος 16:07, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * IMHO, in cases such as *sneygʷʰ- both the root and derivations should be grouped on a single page, where they can be discussed all together without resorting to redundancy and impracticality of disconnected treatment on separate pages. Only "cleanly" reconstructible nouns/adjectives should get their own pages. --Ivan Štambuk 20:41, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Non-verbal roots are not interesting and don't get separate PoS sections and categories, but only as complete words (nominative singular [masculine]). root means "verbal root" here and deals with verbal reflexes (meanings & paradigms) in the daughters. Since PIE had no infinitives, there is really no other way to lemmatize verbs other than bare roots. These two terms are synonymous in usage here. --Ivan Štambuk 20:41, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support Ivan Štambuk 20:41, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure you can lemmatise them. Use another verb form, like the 1st person singular of whatever aspect the verb has as its basic form. If all the roots we have pages for are verbs, then we can easily make proper verbs out of them. But I don't see the point in restricting roots to verbal roots only. —CodeCat 20:46, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem with PIE verbal paradigms is that they are in most cases not completely reconstructible and no "basic form" is reachable. If we chose some arbitrary inflected form of e.g. present stem as a lemma, there would be in most cases several variant forms to chose from on the basis of attested reflexes, and giving precedence to any of them would be a value judgment on the "importance" or "authenticity" of a particular reflex. By using a root-only form in e-grade, we can simply ignore the issues of paradigms, ablauts, enlargements etc. and deal with all that neutrally within the appendix itself. PIE verbs are traditionally lemmatized as roots and to my knowledge no dictionary ever used something else. We should simply follow the established practice, using roots as synonymous with verbal roots. Derived nouns/adjectives should go on separate pages, or on the same page in some special cases, but then they will clearly be separated with different headers and citation forms in the inflection line from the verbal part. --Ivan Štambuk 22:20, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, then I think to avoid confusion we should avoid using 'root' to mean specifically 'verbal root'. Because it certainly confused me, since I think of a root as a base for the formation of any part of speech. So we should list those roots that are verb roots as verbs, if that's what they are. The fact that they are roots (denoted by the trailing dash) should then indicate that the inflection is unknown or uncertain. —CodeCat 22:38, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * They are translated as English verbs ("to X"), they have verbal inflection and morphological variations in the inflection line...it's pretty obvious that we're dealing with verbal roots. Although some of those currently in that particular category refer to nouns and ought to be renamed. I have no problem if we use ===Verbal root=== instead as a header name. --Ivan Štambuk 16:31, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, Ivan, such things are obviously verbs. How about the simple header ===Verb===, then? The listing will be just as for any other verbs we have here, except its root will be used as the lemma form instead of one of the inflections. I think it's fairly obvious from the presence or absence of a dash at the end whether the root or a full form of the word is being displayed. – Krun 20:41, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

(unindent) So which name should we use for the category? I still prefer "PIE roots" because "PIE verbs" isn't exactly correct (after all, there are nouns derived from these roots). Another possibility would be "PIE verbal roots" but that's needlessly complicated in my opinion. The confusion about those being verbal roots could hopefully be resolved by adding a lead section to the category. --ἀνυπόδητος 18:48, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Category talk:Gothic inflection-table templates

RFM discussion: December 2011–January 2012
For a long time, we've only distinguished the categories Category:Gothic conjugation-table templates and Category:Gothic declension-table templates. The former is used for verbs, the latter is used for everything else. I don't think this really makes much sense, because in most languages adjectives need different templates from nouns. That's why I created Category:Gothic noun declension-table templates and Category:Gothic adjective declension-table templates. For a while those two categories were still added to the main declension-table category, but as that category came to be left empty I decided to change it so that noun declension-tables goes directly in Category:Gothic inflection-table templates, and deleted the now-empty category. The examples about Gothic here apply to many languages, too. So I would like to propose renaming and restructuring these categories:

 * Category:Gothic inflection-table templates -> Category:Gothic inflection templates
 * Category:Gothic adjective declension-table templates -> Category:Gothic adjective inflection templates
 * Category:Gothic noun declension-table templates -> Category:Gothic noun inflection templates
 * Category:Gothic conjugation-table templates -> Category:Gothic verb inflection templates
 * Category:Finnish declension-table templates -> Category:Finnish nominal inflection templates (for languages where nouns and adjectives inflect identically and use the same templates)

The reason I propose to name the new categories 'inflection templates' is because they could eventually contain headword-line templates as well. I realise this goes back to the situation we had long ago, where Category:English headword-line templates used to be called Category:English inflection templates, but this new category is supposed to be for anything inflection-related, headword-line, table or otherwise. A template such as could be categorised in both headword-line templates and inflection templates in the new situation. —CodeCat 17:35, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Unless someone has any objections I'll go ahead with this soon... —CodeCat 12:37, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hang on (for a bit), I think the addition of 'table' was to make it clear that only tables go in these categories, like but NOT headword-line templates like . So you're effectively proposing to annul that change. Having said that... why not? It's another way of splitting the templates up, by part of speech instead of by the type of template. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:04, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Merging inflection-table and headword-/inflection-line categories is counterproductive, in my opinion. --Yair rand 20:13, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not proposing to merge them. Headword-line templates will still have their own category like they do now. The only change to them is that they would also be added to the corresponding inflection template category. This makes sense because it keeps all the inflection-related things together, and makes it easier to see all templates that are concerned with noun inflection at a glance, for example. I like the idea of looking in Category:Catalan verb inflection templates and seeing both and  there. On the other hand,  would also be located in Category:Catalan headword-line templates as it is now. —CodeCat 20:25, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I oppose the change from "inflection-table" to "inflection", since headword-line and inflection-table templates are very different types of template that are already sometimes difficult to distinguish by name. (Imagine you encounter in a category called Category:Hebrew inflection templates. Which type of "inflection template" do you expect it to be?) And headword-line templates don't always have inflection information, anyway. But I'd definitely be on board with "see also" links between headword-line and inflection-table template categories. I am neutral toward any change in the POS-wise subcategorization of (e.g.) Category:Gothic inflection-table templates; I think it makes sense for each language to handle that differently, and I have no dog in Gothic. —Ruakh TALK 20:39, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Oppose, mostly per Ruakh. Let us keep headword-line templates separated from those templates that belong to any of "Inflection", "Declension" and "Conjugation" sections, which turn out to be templates that show tables. If "Category:Gothic noun declension-table templates" gets renamed to "Category:Gothic noun inflection templates", the resulting name nowhere suggests that the category cannot contain headword-line templates. --Dan Polansky 13:09, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

For the record, I used Category:Lithuanian noun declension-table templates because of the sheer number of them. Eventually, I'll have another for adjectives, but that'll be a huge undertaking, considering the number of forms per table, the 4 stress patterns, numerous declension patterns, optional comparatives and superlatives, etc. I think splitting the categories is a very smart idea for languages like Russian and Lithuanian, who have such concerns. —  [Ric Laurent] — 16:15, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I oppose the cross-language recategorization, per Ruakh. —msh210℠ (talk) 22:23, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm confused. What exactly do you oppose? The proposition renaming the categories or the proposition of adding headword-line templates to those categories? —CodeCat 23:08, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Adding headword-line templates to the same categories as the inflection tables. I assumed the renaming was only to be done if that was to be done (i.e., that this was one proposal not two). —msh210℠ (talk) 01:27, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No, even if that doesn't go through, the renaming could still be done, or with 'inflection-table' instead of 'inflection'. —CodeCat 01:30, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't understand. When you started this discussion, you said that you had already implemented the "inflection-table" renaming for Gothic, and you didn't ask for any input about that; so that seems to imply that this discussion is inherently not about renaming categories to "inflection-table". (And no one seems to be objecting to the "inflection-table" part, anyway.) Furthermore, in that same discussion-starting comment, you also wrote, "The reason I propose to name the new categories 'inflection templates' is because they could eventually contain headword-line templates as well"; which seems to imply that you are not proposing that rename except for that purpose. Have you changed your mind? That's fine, if so, but in that case I think you should start a new discussion with your new proposal(s), or else it's just hopelessly confusing! —Ruakh TALK 02:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh... maybe I wasn't that clear then... I was proposing to rename the categories, and I was saying we could drop 'table' from the name, so that in the future we could possibly also add headword-line templates to those categories. I haven't made any changes to Gothic yet, as you can see from the red links above. Sorry for the confusion. —CodeCat 02:04, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:obstructing the field

RFM discussion: September 2011
Move to obstruct the field. This is not an adjective either. Second opinions? —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 18:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Citations would help, I suppose it's a specific rule in cricket, I actually just thought it was called obstruction. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:37, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * A lot of the cricket dismissals are difficult to parse. The rule is called "Obstructing the field", but in a sentence it can be rearranged in several ways:
 * A while ago he was given out "obstructing the field", an incident that has an air of alienating weirdness about it.
 * Law 37 states that a batsman will be given out obstructing the field if they wilfully obstruct the opposition by word or action, and this is what the umpires adjudged the veteran Surrey batsman to have done during the match at the historic Festival.
 * Surrey beat Gloucestershire by two wickets despite Mark Ramprakash being given out for obstructing the field on the final day at Cheltenham.
 * Michael Clarke, the stand-in Australia captain whose form goes from bad to worse, asked umpire Marais Erasmus whether Trott had obstructed the field after he became tangled with Brett Lee on 30.
 * A batsman who has a runner but who is not himself the striker will stand behind the striker’s end umpire and become involved only if he handles the ball, obstructs the field or commits any other unfair act.
 * So it seems that sometimes it is a fixed term obstructing the field, sometimes it is inflected as the verb obstruct the field. The same variation occurs with other methods of dismissal (handled the ball, hit the ball twice etc.) as well as other terms like carry the bat (which often appears as "[he] carried his bat"). The definitions for all those seem confused as to what POS they are. 81.142.107.230 11:41, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

obstructing
What does obstructing mean if you get chartered by the state police? Renee1984 (talk) 02:48, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * First of all, you might look at the definitions at obstruct, but I doubt we would have anything specific to your case. That said, helping you would probably constitute giving legal advice, which we're not allowed to do. Besides, we don't know any of your circumstances (not even what part of the planet you're on), and it would be a very bad idea for you to share your personal information in such a public place.

Category talk:Appendix-only constructed languages

RFM discussion: August 2011
I'd like to rename this category to Category:Minor constructed languages.

Rationales: --Daniel 05:16, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Similarly named categories, such as Category:Appendix-only nouns, are gone. We deprecated this pattern.
 * "Appendix-only" is too technical to appear in the name of the category; "minor constructed language" is all that matters in the first moment.
 * The description of the category already explains that all the languages are "appendix-only", what that means, and why that happens. That description is much better than the short and vague "appendix-only" shoehorned in the title.
 * I created the category in question.

 * But minor is inherently POV, which we should avoid. I wouldn't consider Quenya or Klingon any more "minor" than Novial (which we do include). -- Liliana • 11:58, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Category talk:IPA symbols

RFM discussion: July–August 2011
move to Category:mul:Phonetics. This doesn't fit in the topical category system at all and causes various problems. Since IPA characters are by definition Translingual (and no other terms are), the tag is a nice replacement for it. -- Liliana • 14:00, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

 * The problem is that with the new vote, these get moved to Category:en:IPA symbols, since such categories (without a language code) should no longer have any entries. -- Liliana • 14:44, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * We also have Category:Translingual letters for these kinds of symbols. —CodeCat 14:47, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

So, what should we do? We now have three categories which fulfill roughly the same purpose: Category:IPA symbols, Category:mul:Phonetics, and also Category:mul:Phonology (which shouldn't exist at all, because phonology by definition cannot be translingual).

Talk:I'm allergic to nuts

RFM discussion: October 2011–May 2017
I'd like to move this to I'm allergic to and redirect (and hence merge) I'm allergic to aspirin, I'm allergic to penicillin, and I'm allergic to pollen. The reason is to be more inclusive. It would be possible to link to nut and any other noun where there are common allergies. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:41, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, and I think we should do the same for the 'I need' phrases. But we should indicate how to use the proper grammar, because some languages may need a special case form, and the translation may be less straightforward than just the translation of 'I'm allergic to' along with the translation of 'nut'. Finnish for example would translate 'to nuts' with the allative plural case of, while Icelandic translates 'nuts' in the dative plural of , and French uses to translate 'to' before plural words. —CodeCat 11:56, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Phrasebook entries more or less only exist to have translations, so putting lots of grammatical detail in translation tables shouldn't be a problem. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:59, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Most phrasebooks are just bilingual, making things much simpler. DCDuring TALK 15:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

I don't endorse the idea of merging the entries. But, if people decide to have only one English sentence, as only one entry, under the subject in question, then I& would be a much better title than just I&.

The reason is: we absolutely don't need incomplete sums of parts. They just aren't more helpful than the words alone. If a reader is able to find I'm allergic to + aspirin, and recognize how to make sentences by joining the pieces and applying the grammar of the target language... Then, she might as well do the same thing by joining I'm + allergic + to + aspirin. --Daniel 12:12, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the issue is that sentences like this are an open class. As long as there are new nouns to put at the end, you can keep creating new sentences. —CodeCat 12:18, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It's easier to join the parts I& - pollen + aspirin than it is joining the parts I'm allergic to + aspirin. The entry "I'm allergic to pollen" would show complete translations fully adapted to the grammar of other languages, while the entry "I'm allergic to" would show only a piece (an unfinished sentence) translated into pieces (unfinished sentences) in other languages. --Daniel 14:04, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Does anyone have any facts to support these assertions about what is or is not easier for the class of users of an on-line phrasebook? What are some typical profiles of such users? What proportion of users fit each profile?
 * If we don't know these things what model of a successful phrasebook (on-line or otherwise, translating or not) would we follow? DCDuring TALK 15:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

I maintain we should have one such entry and hard-redirect the rest. I would think it should be I'm allergic to, but perhaps Daniel's right that it should be I'm allergic to pollen (or some other): I don't know. —msh210℠ (talk) 16:43, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * If we go with Daniel's method (keep the one entry at I'm allergic to pollen or the like), then I think the headword and translations should all include pollen (and its translations) in parentheses or the like, much as we do with the headword at keep somebody posted. —msh210℠ (talk) 17:00, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Archiving as stale. - -sche (discuss) 01:07, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
