The following discussion has been moved from Wiktionary:Requests for verification.
This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.
Note WT:RFV#Special:Contributions/Nemzag. I have gone through all of Nemzag's mainspace edits; most have been verified or corrected by other knowledgeable editors. A minority had never been edited by other editors, or had been edited but still seemed to me to have problems. In about half of those cases, I was able to verify or correct the information myself. Here, I list all of the words I could not verify myself. I'd prefer the input of knowledgeable editors to actual citations (but conferred with other editors and decided RFV was the best venue). — Beobach 01:03, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

- Webster's apparently recent Albanian-English thesaurus has njeri as "person, human". Can we verify the pronunciation? Is the conjugation alright? What about njer? — Beobach 20:16, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
- mmm, doesn't Webster usually take its data from other sources, like Wiktionary? I know I've googled some terms and it found one source and then one of those Webster books with the exact same content. -- Prince Kassad 10:13, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
- Webster's hasn't referred to any one company since the 19th century; see [w:Webster's_Dictionary#The_name_Webster_used_by_others]. This data is from [1]; given that the word of the day is a link to a Youtube clip that embeds "LORN (adj): Lost, undone, ruined" with a bunch of unlinguistic junk, it doesn't impress me as a quality site.--Prosfilaes 17:20, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

- Njeri seems to be valid; it is common on Google Books, and is in other Wiktionaries; I have added a reference and a quotation and struck it. Njer is in some works as well, including a reference (Orel) I have added. I have made it a soft redirect to njeri, and struck it. PS, we're missing an ablative plural in the declension of njeri. - -sche (discuss) 17:48, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
