Shouldn't this be moved to Wiktionary:Neologims? I really think the default namespace should be for only plain old dictionary entries. — Hippietrail 01:22, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'm rather glad its harmless and no longer linked to from the main page. Its ideas are rather damaging to Wiktionary in my opinion. We can't totally go by Wikipedia's criteria for not including original research. Basing decisions based on Google and Lexis-Nexis searchs could be considered in violation of that, and its fairly standard operating procedure. But making arbitrary words up is going the next step and clearly crosses the line of a dictionaries role to report on the language. A dictionary should not be used as a tool to spread a word. And the notion that Wiktionary has such powers is laughable regardless. All it does is degrade credibility.
Really this page should be removed and redirected to neologism (hard or soft depending on the contributors preference (: ). --Eean 09:40, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Looking at the history, the whole page is to justify hu I think. I'll just revert it.
