Oh dearie me. Is it verifiable? DonnanZ (talk) 16:30, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've added three quotations. —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:02, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Passed. Shouldn't the quotations be added to the main lemma midnight sun? — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:35, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I think they are more relevant under the plural. DonnanZ (talk) 17:44, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I thought our practice was to place all quotations under the main lemma rather than under inflections as this shows more clearly the usage of the word over time. For example, for the word walk, we do not put quotations under walks, walking or walked. At the very least, we should add the quotations on both entry pages. — SMUconlaw (talk) 18:36, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Maybe so, but as this is a highly irregular plural, I think an exception should be made. But include the quotes under the singular too if you want. DonnanZ (talk) 19:52, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
What makes it highly irregular? —Granger (talk · contribs) 00:43, 11 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I thought about that afterwards, "highly unusual" would be better. DonnanZ (talk) 10:31, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
