RFC discussion: July–August 2022[edit]

The first definition of "Mennonite", removing the parentheticals, is "A group of Mennonites in the Anabaptist movement", which is not only useless in that the definition includes the word to be defined, it's not even accurate as a Mennonite is a person, not a group of people. I'm not sure whether sense 1 can be cleaned up to be distinct from sense 2, or if sense 2 is the only sense that should remain. At any rate, if the noun definition includes the adjective Mennonite, then the adjective definition really should not include the noun Mennonite. Ideally neither definition should include the word Mennonite at all, right? —Mahāgaja · talk 12:49, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I've cleaned it up myself. —Mahāgaja · talk 11:17, 17 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
