Talk:self-uned
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.
This word is used in a work by Joshua Sylvester; see [1]. I guess the inclusion of this word hinges on whether Sylvester's translation of Du Bartas is considered a "well-known work". This, that and the other (talk) 11:47, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- I have added the Sylvester cite. Note his use of the accent as in self-unéd. If that counts, there are now two cites on the page. SpinningSpark 11:33, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- And there'll be a third when someone adds the Du Bartas one. This, that and the other (talk) 00:34, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- Sylvester is translating Du Bartas, the original won't be English. SpinningSpark 18:54, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
- But can't translations be cited? It doesn't make sense to disallow them, if that's what you're saying. This, that and the other (talk) 12:13, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
- Translations (that is, the English editions of works) can be cited. I imagine Spinningspark thought you expected Du Bartas in the original French to count as a citation — that is also what I thought your comment was suggesting, and I'm not sure what you meant if not that. A work by Sylvester has already been cited, if you cite another, it won't count towards attesting the word, per WT:CFI#Independent. - -sche (discuss) 17:41, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
- Well, no, I wasn't suggesting to cite a non-English word in an English entry; I'm not sure how that could be inferred. Anyway, I wasn't really aware of the idea of per-author independence, so we are still in need of one more citation here, I suppose. This, that and the other (talk) 07:50, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
