RFV discussion: March–May 2018[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

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.


The entry is, as pointed out on RFC, encyclopedically long, spillover from Wikipedia's Quotation Wars. It also isn't obviously attested as an idiomatic string (as opposed to "'four score and seven years ago' is an American quotation" or "American quotation marks"). Most of the coordinate terms have the same issues, although "logical quotation" is somewhat easier to find citations of. Citations would probably help us decide if there really need to be three (so long) definitions. I tried searching for phrases like "(in|use|using|employ|employing) American quotation". - -sche (discuss) 02:32, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
