RFV discussion: April–July 2014[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


I request this for verification. No redirects on Wikipedia. I don't see anything on Google. Supposedly an alternative form of Danelaw in the English language. And please add citations to Citations:Danlaga. LalalalaSta (talk) 19:54, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you RFVing a word that you added? —Mr. Granger (talkcontribs) 20:06, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It was originally listed on the Danelaw page as an alternative form. And why, is it not allowed here to RFV your own page? I see some references now, but is this word really only in English? Please verify. LalalalaSta (talk) 20:12, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
By creating an entry, you take at least some responsibility for it. You should create an entry only if you are able to judge whether the term is correct (even with something as weak as "native speaker's gut feeling") and meets our criteria for inclusion. And you should have something more to put on the page than just a link back to the page where you found the redlink. If you cannot do that, leave it alone. Keφr 20:27, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Failed. — Ungoliant (falai) 23:51, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WAIT A MINUTE.... why did this fail? Did you even TRY to site this? This makes me mad. You didn't even give a reason why it failed. Rædi Stædi Yæti {-skriv til mig-} 02:30, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
1: "cite".
2: [1] The nearest thing to something relevant is a scanno for "damage". Unless you think this is citable from Google Groups, or you have a history of Pre-Norman England which uses "Danlaga" instead of "Danelaw", in which case please provide your cites.

@ReadySteadyYeti Do read the introduction of this page. The protocol recommends failing RFVs one month after the nomination. This one has been here for nearly three.
If you don’t like it, just find three cites that meet the requirements and readd the page, no questions asked. That’s the fun thing about RFVs: even if a word previously failed RFV, you can recreate it immediately if you find adequate citations. And yes, I did try to cite it. — Ungoliant (falai) 03:15, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
