Kept

[edit]

Yet another template we don't really need. Ncik 02:11, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Both templates are heavily linked. Suggesting formatting improvements is worlds better than recommending elimination. Obviously someone found these useful; I would have used them if there wasn't this vitriolic assault on them. Why is a conversation that belongs in the beer parlour to begin with, being catered to? Both of these templates seem like an elegant approach to easing the persistent UK/US issues. Why is a request for their deletion deemed appropriate, when a reasonable apprach would be to offer an improved solution first then migrate such entries over, then when all is clear, request deletion. Elimination of useful templates is no improvement. --Connel MacKenzie T C 04:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This may be very banal, but its the dots that "worry" me --Dangherous 23:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Doesn't bother me much. There probably should be a place in an appendix to note common phrase constructs that fit a particular pattern. Until such an appendix is devised, I don't object to retaining it. --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
even weaker keep It isn't a prefix, shouldn't be capitalised and should lose the dots. SemperBlotto 08:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another article with non-English content by the same author.

Cleanedup. Mike 18:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A German word with no definition. Jonathan Webley 12:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but this is English wiktionary. Jonathan Webley 21:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. [1] --Connel MacKenzie T C 23:21, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's in the OED with cites from between 1727 and 1849. — Hippietrail 23:30, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Special:What links here says this is Thai for slut, but tagged as not in Thai alphabet? --Connel MacKenzie T C 08:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It’s Thai, all right, but I don’t know whether it’s a standard expression or just a description. —Stephen 12:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for cleaning it up. --Connel MacKenzie T C 07:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not English. Jonathan Webley 21:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Linked from the grass is always greener on the other side --Dangherous 23:06, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

three

[edit]
  1. IDEO locator -- seems to be the name of an Internet guy
  2. Fair and balanced - do we accept slogans? Or would Wikisource like this?
  3. action star (Action Star). Dodgy.
  4. clippety-cloppety - Seemingly written by a 5 year old. Call me racist, but I don't think 5 year olds should write dictionaries.
  5. diddly dum, from the same page. It has a fair amount of hits on the web, but so does "brrrrrrr" and "rub a dub dub".

--Dangherous 23:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The ideo locator page is okay, it just needed to be lowercased. It’s not the same as the IDEO Internet company. —Stephen 12:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted

[edit]

bad title. no useful content. Millie 17:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Something very strange is going on with User:wietsezuyderwijk and all its sub-pages. The user does not exist. All edits were made by anon IPs. Unclear if any of the subpage information is useful. --Connel MacKenzie T C 08:31, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • the name of the User page starts with a lowercase letter - even in en.wiktionary a User account cannot start that way. I would be inclined to delete it - we can always recover it if really needed (the talk page gets redirected to Capitalised version to add to the confusion). SemperBlotto 10:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is indeed a conspiracy. I am employed by Prisma Woordenboeken. Seriously: it is a User Page by me, a regular contributor, and I am currently in the process of migrating all this data to here. When I am done, I will add all my userpages to the rfd-category... I hope a kind sysop will then delete all the pages under User:wietsezuyderwijk except for the actual page itself. Sorry for the inconvenience. DON'T DELETE MY PAGES JUST NOW!!
  • wiktionary isn't a playground, it isn't supposed to be used for saving data from pet projects. The wiki software is free, webspace is cheap, that is a much better solution if you wish to make a project of some kind. delete. - TheDaveRoss 01:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Violates NPOV

Not convinced that it is a real definition. Jonathan Webley 20:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, that didn't seem right… Deleted. Jon Harald Søby 20:43, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We are not Wikipedia...we don't keep year entries, at all, right? --Connel MacKenzie T C 02:10, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, MMVI. --Connel MacKenzie T C 02:21, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I just don't believe this one is correct. Jonathan Webley 21:48, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Category:Ro:plants. cf. Category:ro:Plants (the correct format). Alexander 007 00:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
