RFV discussion: July–August 2019[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.


Sense 2: "Requiring frequent adjustment. The fuses are very fiddly, and keep blowing out." — as opposed to sense 1: "Requiring dexterity to operate. The buttons on the tiny mobile phone were too fiddly." I don't think I have ever heard of "fiddly" indicating a requirement. Equinox 17:14, 13 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

I think it's just an example of the "Of or relating to fiddling or fidgeting motions" definition. (that is, requiring fiddling) Kiwima (talk) 00:08, 14 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
