Conjugation[edit]
It would be nice if someone could get the conjugation right since I'm not very good with syntax.
Also, I created the verb page as a separate from the noun page in order to be able to have all the verb translations listed, some of which (e.g. Spanish) have multiple forms and cannot be guessed or deduced from the English idiom. So, I believe that this amounts to being a reasonable raison d'etre for this page and makes it a Wiktionary page in its full right; hence, do not delete.--ArkinAardvark 22:33, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
- Having translations in other languages that can't be deduced from the English idiom is not a good enough reason to have the English page.—msh210℠ (talk) 22:35, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
- I thought that it was... my bad, I'm new to Wiktionary editing and I am not all that familiar with the policy, guidelines etc. (regarding, is that an official rule?) However, it think that the page should stay - there are two forms of the idiom (a verbal and a nominal) and each should have its separate page, and since verbal translation are not accepted at the nominal page (I deduced this after my edits to the nominal page had been erased) I think they should be on the newly created separate one since they clearly add some new content to the project which is the whole point of all this.--ArkinAardvark 22:47, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
- Again you're arguing from the existence of translations. Again, that's not a good enough reason. Nonetheless, perhaps they should both stay, for reasons I can't articulate at the moment. In any event, I'm not about (at least not now) to nominate either for deletion.—msh210℠ (talk) 23:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
