[edit]

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.


I suspect this may be real, but 1) I've only found one Google Books hit (dated 2013, so it may just be too recent), and 2) the definition needs to be cleaned up, which would need more information about usage to be done correctly. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:14, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have radically trimmed the definition because it was noodling waffle. I don't think this term meets our requirements at all. Equinox 01:38, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I think you amputated a bit too much (it's hard to resist, I know, when you've got such a bloated mass of verbiage to start with). The term is an outgrowth of crowdsourcing, so it probably needs to include the idea of soliciting something of value from the participants. My version doesn't quite hit the nail on the head, either, though. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:29, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
