[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


  • I honestly doubt that the information on the site is true. Sounds more like cold war russian propaganda for a certain NetRadio thingie... — N-true 11:39, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Dressed up to look like a normal article. References doubtful though even they refer to it as slang. One is a plagiarised form of Wiktionary; another asks people to vote on accepting it in the dictionary! Links to French and Spanish versions were to blank pages. Has any German speaker discussed this with de:wiktionary? Eclecticology 19:08, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • I am a German speaker and the German version says about the same in German as the English version. I have googled for the word "Starfrosch" in English and German (and also in Spanish for "rana estrella") which resulted only in pages having to do with this ominous cold war russian NetRadio. Never heard the word used as slang before in both English and German eithern. I doubt it's more than propaganda or so for that radio. It's as if I would add my comic chicken "Wummel-Knuffel" to the Wiktionary. ;) — N-true 20:47, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • I am a German speaker too. I have also googled for the word "Starfrosch" which resulted only in pages having to do with this Netaudio Group, but I have heard the word used as slang before in Swissgerman (Bernese Oberland). It could be russian cold war propaganda or so for that Netaudio Group too, so i removed the commercial stuff and links. — 11:06, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • We've now got starfrosh to deal with as well, which is copied and pasted from starfrosck. — DavidL 12:41 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • is this serious? seems to be a copy from starfrosck which could be a swissgerman word. starfrosh does only appear one time on google here http://www.google.ch/search?hl=de&ie=UTF-8&q=starfrosh&btnG=Suche&meta= . i don't belive that starfrosh exists. 18:04 29 Sep 2004
    • starfrosch exist!!! this site is true b** by horus
    • ALERT: This discussion was removed from this page by User:80.218.112.200 on Sept. 30, apparently as a way of avoiding its deletion. I will delete both words. If there is documentation for the Swiss dialect usage, we can probably restore that part when it is provided. Eclecticology 03:50, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
