Mason–Dixon Line Edit
Actually, according to w:MOS:DASH, the wiktionary entry should be using an endash, if we followed Wikipedia's rules on how to dash here, so shouldn't such forms exist as redirects to the ASCII dash forms used here? (or as full page entries, if you'd prefer) According to Wikipedia's rules, wiktionary's entry is wrong. -- 18.104.22.168 01:02, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
- But why do those rules matter? —CodeCat 01:03, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
- It shows an alternate form, so as such we can have a page at Mason–Dixon Line (Mason-Dixon Line on wiktionary), instead of having it be deleted. As to it being a redirect or an entry, I'll leave that up to you, since I thought it didn't really need a separate entry, but a redirect would do. If you cut and pasted such a form into the searchbox, it would lead to a searchpage, instead of the entry. The rules on wikipedia exist because there's been grammar pedantic editors at wikipedia who have been renaming all articles away from using ASCII dashes to use Unicode dashes on Wikipedia for several years now (most of the things left with the generic ASCII dash are articles that use hyphens).
- Personally, I do prefer the ASCII dash form, since it's actually what people type, instead of what a typesetter or copyeditor places on a page.
- w:Wikipedia:Hyphen luddites show the philosophical debate about the use of hypens and dashes on Wikipedia
- -- 126.96.36.199 01:13, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
- Having been more active on WP lately, I've seen the hyphen-vs-dash edit war which has been raging there (it's hard to miss, because its participants shop it to every forum they can), and I'm wary of it spilling over into Wiktionary. It's my experience and preference that Wiktionary always uses the ASCII hyphen in pagenames; Wiktionary also uses ASCII apostrophes and quotation marks in pagenames (in English and French, at least). Wiktionary has redirects like l'habit ne fait pas le moine to accommodate interwiki links to fr.Wikt, which uses such non-ASCII apostrophes. But Wiktionary doesn't have redirects for all typographical variants, e.g. we expressly don't redirect fiſh to fish. So, whether to have redirects from dash forms to hyphen forms is something that should be discussed in the BP. :b Should Wikipedia base its MOS on us? Probably not. - -sche (discuss) 01:58, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
creationism is not a Christian-specific doctrine. It is also present in Judaism and Islam and other Abrahamic religions. I have therefore reverted you there.Pass a Method (talk) 09:03, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- "Abrahamic theology" is neither a standard context label nor a category (nor should it be). There are at least two possible ways to introduce the change you are trying to make, while avoiding that problem: (1) use (Christian theology, Judaism, Islam), which is clear but a bit distracting, or (2) use (theology) and specify which theologies at the end of the definition. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:16, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

- Semper has noted that the term is in the OED, 2nd ed, but we have no quotations, and I could find none.

- OED2 was not excessively concerned about use, and there are dozens of words from it listed at Appendix:English dictionary-only terms. The only reason that could be helpful is that they had a charming habit of listing cites, but I have a suspicion that the OED is not likely to find a full three uses that we can't. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 20:39, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Shrinking Wikipedia linksEdit
I (Hlmswn) have just received an email from firstname.lastname@example.com which would seem (though the profusion of URLs within it has greatly confused me) to at least be strongly associated with you.
Through one of these URLs I found that I am not a User. However, as a non-user I have for some months been adding quotes in various places using short excerpts from books I happen to be reading. As I became more familiar with the process of adding quotes I have been tidying up the quotes and the formatting of their meanings.
Also I have been tidying up some of the links to Wikipedia. Sometimes the URL is right up the top where it impliedly would be relevant for all languages, though the link is specifically to en.wikipedia.org !! So I would sometimes shift it into just after the "English" heading. If the link was specific to one particular meaning I would shift it to that meaning.
One thing that irked me a lot was the frequent use of {{wikipedia}} instead of the briefer {{pedia}}. The smaller one is quite adequate for clicking on, does not complicate the formatting of nearby text and illustrations, and takes up much less space, thus allowing more of Wikipedia to be on the screen at the same time. Furthermore, it is appropriate to be put as close as possible to the meaning or meanings it would illuminate. Putting it down in "See also" is a waste of time.
In other words, I strongly disagree with your ruling. However, as I am a non-User and you apparently are a privileged editor, I will no longer shrink links. However, please do not expect me to go back over the many hundreds of additions I have made and reverse my changes. As someone in their 80s I fear I do not have enough time to waste in that way. (188.8.131.52 02:35, 5 January 2013 (UTC))
- I did not send an e-mail. I posted on your talk page. It is unfortunate that you are asking other people to clean up the mess that you have made. It shows that you are not willing to take responsibility for your own actions, and that you expect to waste the time of other editors, who will have to do the job for you. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:31, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Okay, I can take a hint. Please remove Hlmswn from your system. But I would suggest that in future you offer anyone joining Wiktionary links to tuition about the culture of Wiktionary and warn them that they might not find that culture either agreeable or optimal.

Please, please have me removed as a User. Until you came along I delighted in feeling that I was helping a good global cause. You have made me feel that I am regarded as an invader. Understand that I was a systems engineer for thirty years before I retired to a teaching job in 1988. I am not exactly ignorant at judging and designing system interfaces.

Non sibi sed patriaeEdit
FWIW, "by" is translated with the ablative, and this is in the dative. Secondly,
means "fatherland" most literally, and is not used for one's family. Wikipedia takes an interesting route by eliminating the pronoun altogether to match the grammatical ambiguity of the original, as Not for self, but for country, but that's semantically the same. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:18, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Latin 2nd declension -ius vocativeEdit
Hello. I am an administrator in the Spanish Wiktionary (Wikcionario), and am trying to refine our Latin declension templates. I noticed your participation in the discussion page for template la-decl-2nd, and was wondering if you knew for certain when the vocative singular for -ius second-declension nous ends in -ie, and when it's just -i.
- - Wikipedia says it's -i,
- - Bennet says it -ie (except for some proper and irregular nouns),
- - wiktionary uses -ie some of the time (fluvius, genius, sagittarius), but not always (filius, simius, aquarius),
- - the Latin wiktionary uses -i most of the time (filius, commentarius)
- - and this source shows both most of the time, but not for genius.
I would really appreciate your insight! Thanks in advance, --Edgefield (talk) 20:27, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- I don't use the vocative much, but my practice is to use -e for -us nouns, -i for -ius nouns, -(i)e for adjectives in both -us and -ius, and to observe the exceptions (like meus). I think that Classical texts vary in this regard, but I'm pretty sure that the Latin I was taught is the modern standard. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 20:57, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- My Oxford Latin Grammar says that the vocative is -e for most masculine nouns in the second declension, but is -i for -ius nouns. Another of my sources says that -i is used for filius, genius, and proper nouns ending in -ius. The latter view is supported by Allen & Greenough's New Latin Grammar. The entries on Wiktionary are not always correct for their declension, as editors sometimes use existing templates without knowing the variations, so I wouldn't put much faith in what our entries say in situations where a word may not be part of the norm. In the case of sagittarius and aquarius, I'd be inclined to think they would form the vocative in -e, since they have the (principally) adjectival ending -arius, and I've not seen evidence that it differs from the norm. However, I don't have data to determine the matter one way or the other for such nouns, and a Google search was not particularly helpful, as there is no feature that will allow me to filter out "olde English spellyngs", nor a quick means of filtering genitive forms from potentially vocative ones. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:16, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

On a category for 4th declension masculine nounsEdit
I think this category is very useful for native speakers of Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan and Italian (and, to a much lesser extent, Romanian). Most of these nouns have descendants in these languages, either inherited or borrowed—however, they're almost completely or completely merged with the descendants of the second declension (the one exception being manus in Portuguese/Spanish/Italian and (maybe) Catalan). When native speakers of these languages study Latin, these are often seen by students as pseudo-irregularities of the second declension.
I don't see why English Wiktionary couldn't cater to such needs, considering many of such speakers have a decent knowledge of English (being a prestigious lingua franca and all), and often even prefer to use English-language resources when available. Linguistic resources produced in English often have a better quality and better coverage than those found in other languages, if only because a wider (and not to mention generally richer) market (comprised both of native and non-native speakers) encourages publishers. Or in the case of Wikimedia Foundation's projects, because said wider audience can and does participate (I don't think anybody can deny the large role non-native speakers of English play on English Wikipedia).
So there you go, this is my defense of the usefulness of a category for masculine nouns in the Latin fourth declension.--Serafín33 (talk) 22:40, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Latin pronunciationEdit
I know I have to add the time-period, and if you looked at some pronunciations I've been adding I usually put it at the front. In this case I just forgot. >_< I'll follow your style of not adding the dot redundantly. I'll add that to Appendix:Latin pronunciation too.
As for the pronunciation of neuter, I used /ne.u-/ following W. Sidney Allen's scholarly work Vox Latina: A Guide to the Pronunciation of Classical Latin, page 63:
- eu is confined to the forms neu, ceu, seu, the interjections heu and heus, and Greek proper names and borrowings such as Orpheus, Europa, euge, eunuchus. [...] The sound may be produced by combining a short e with an u; what must certainly be avoided is the pronunciation [yū] as in the English neuter1 [...].
- 1 Latin neuter is normally trisyllabic, i.e. nĕŭter.
However, he doesn't say how he knows that. I bet he got to know that from poetry scansion, but I don't know. Not that I've read other sources on the reconstruction of Latin (his certainly isn't the only one, I know from indirect comments that there's plenty of scholars who contradict him on his ideas of the pronunciation of vowel-final words when followed by a vowel-initial word, for example).Serafín33 (talk) 03:13, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
Dē latīnā uocāle anteriōre rotundā...Edit
I noticed that Appendix:Latin pronunciation recommends using ‹ʏ› for the Latin front rounded vowel. Is there any reason why ‹ʏ› is used instead of ‹y›? It's especially surprising because the symbols for the phonemes are otherwise the most accessible ones (i.e. the ones easier to type, following normal IPA conventions). That is, ‹i e o u› for the short vowels, instead of ‹ɪ ɛ ɔ ʊ› (which would be more representative of their pronunciation, well, if following W. Sidney Allen's reconstruction, anyway).--Serafín33 (talk) 03:31, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
- I haven't found a source that makes a really good (or clear) case for any specific IPA value. Most of the good texts I've looked through in researching the sounds are a bit vague. The choice of ‹ʏ› is based on a number of readings I've made, and it matches the conclusion the Latin experts on Wikipedia came up with. See w:Latin spelling and pronunciation, where there is a section entitled "Adoption of Greek upsilon". From what I understand, the unusual symbol is a result of (1) IPA assigning /y/ to the Classical Greek value, coupled with (2) the fact that the sound was not native to Latin, and Latin speakers were mostly unable to produce the sound as the Greeks did it. The only unfortunate thing about the Wikipedia article is that this is one of the few sections nobody bothered to include citations for, but as I say, I'd reached the same conclusion from my researches back when I was looking for good info. That said, the Appendix we have on Latin rponunciation may still include a few errors, or things that can be improved. It was written very early in my phonological researches. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:57, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
- As for the vowel qualities of short vowels /e i o u/, it doesn't matter to me anywa... Whether you use symbols closer to their pronunciation (as reconstructed by Allen: "/ɛ ɪ ɔ ʊ/"), or something more abstract (i.e. "/e i o u/") in a phonemic transcription is just a matter of æsthetics. (Many Chinese bilingual dictionaries transcribe the English RP /eɪ ɑː ɔː/ phonemes as "/eː aː oː/" for example.)
- I think you've misread the article on Wikipedia you linked to regarding the use of 〈ʏ〉, however. The use of the 〈〉 parentheses with small capitals in the middle does not refer to symbols to be used in a transcription, they refer to Latin orthography/spelling (they use 〈E〉 and 〈A⟩ elsewhere for /a aː e eː/ [a aː ɛ eː] for example). The Latinists on Wikipedia have made no conclusion you mention. There's no unusual IPA symbol used for it, because their use of 〈ʏ〉 is not an IPA symbol but a simple orthographical one. However, my question was about what IPA symbol to use.
- I'm also very much confused by what you mean by those two points. I don't know how they support the use of 〈/ʏ/〉 as the IPA symbol at all. As for point (1), there's no issue with the IPA assigning the IPA symbol 〈y〉 to the French [y] sound. Plus, isn't the point Allen makes that they tried to imitate Greek [y] anyway? As for point (2), when they weren't able to pronounce Greek [y], they used their own /i iː/ [i iː] instead. I don't think there's anybody saying they used a near-close variant [ʏ] instead.
- I strongly suggest changing the article so that using 〈/y/〉 is recommended.--Serafín33 (talk) 18:48, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- I would imagine that if /i/ was realised as [ɪ] and /u/ was realised as [ʊ], then those Latin speakers who had mastered the sound would probably have produced [ʏ] when saying /y/ as well. Most speakers did not distinguish /y/ from /i/ though. —CodeCat 19:41, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- It's still odd that that it's recommended such vowel be written ‹/ʏ/› though, considering we don't write ‹/ɪ ɛ ɔ ʊ/›, especially because there's also words that Lewis & Short report are pronounced with a long high front rounded vowel: Hȳdra, tȳphon, sȳcē. These words would get their pronunciations written with ‹/ʏː/›(!), e.g. ‹/ˈhʏː.dra/›, for [ˈhyː.dra].--Serafín33 (talk) 02:16, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- When some of the older English-speaking Latinist writers say "long", they sometimes mean vowel duration and sometimes mean metrically heavy. That is, they are not careful to distinguish vowels of greater duration (e.g. /a/ vs. /aː/) as opposed to vowels which occur in a metrically heavy syllable. The word hydra is a case in point, where Lewis & Short indicate a "long" vowel with a macron, but modern dictionaries such as Feyerabend do not show a macron here. In this situation, Lewis & Short have been superceded by more recent scholarship. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:23, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

- In that situation it's not likely unless the person is deliberately trying to be overly correct. The /z/ is a voiced sibilant, which makes it less likely to have /ɪ/ following it before the nasal. The more likely pronunciation is /ˈkʌz.ən/. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:24, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Latin Proper NounsEdit
Hi, I've been directed to you from Razorflame's talk page concerning some of my edits on a Latin entry. Here is my question I presented to Razorflame and now present to you:
- "Sorry to bother you again. I was just trying to enter the non-lemma forms for some Latin words when I finally noticed that a proper noun, Remus, was showing a plural. I highly doubt that the name of a founder of Rome would be presented in the plural, but I cannot find anything on it, especially on Template:la-proper noun-form. Would you be able to advise me on whether the plural should be removed, and how one might do that?"
I've also noticed the additional problem of the macron on the "e" in "Rēmus", which Collins Latin Dictionary says should be absent in the name (with rēmus meaning an oar with the long vowel), and so obviously I will rectify that as well. Thank you in advance for your help. Benjitheijneb (talk) 17:47, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- There are several things going on here, so I'll try to tackle them one by one. First off, the Collins Latin Dictionary is not the most authoritative, and I'd not rely upon it for a decision about anything in doubt. If you have access to the Oxford Latin Dictionary, that's one of the best available. Now the issue of remus / Remus / Remi: You are corect that the common noun rēmus ("oar") has a macron. You are also correct that the name of Rome's legendary founder Remus should not have a macron. However, there is (was) a tribe in Gaul known as the Rēmī, and therein probably lies the confusion that's put a macron on the name of Rome's founder.
- As to the formatting of inflection tables for Latin proper names: We never got around to developing a full set of templates to cover those. At the time that I helped set up (and revise) the templates we currently have, there weren't yet a lot of proper names, and I deliberately avoided them because (a) there was an on-going general debate at the time about how to handle elements of personal names, and (b) Classical Roman names don't fit the usual modern patterns anyway (praenomina, agnomina, gens, etc.). I focussed on just getting the wrok done for common noun patterns, and for the other parts of speech, many of which had no templates, and especially the verb conjugations (which also had many templates missing). As a result, we have only a few unsuitable inflection table usages, like the one at Augustus, or none at all. The same is true for inflection tables for place names, where a locative ending needs to be included. In that situation, sometimes a suitable table exists (as for Athēnae, but sometimes it doesn't.
- I hope this helps answer your questions. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:14, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- Certainly has, thank you very much! I have amended the macrons as necessary in the entries, including "Rēmi" and "Rēmus" included on account of the tribe, as you pointed out. I suppose the plural forms of Roman names can be rationalized with the generational usage of the same praenomina, nomina and cognomina (such as in Gaius Julius Caesar's case with his father), and given "the recognition of "Remus" as a cognomen, this applies. In terms of the dictionary, I only have access to Collins at present, but I will continue to consult others in doubt until I can acquire a copy of the Oxford Latin Dictionary. Thank you again! Benjitheijneb (talk) 18:11, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
- There are a couple of new issues that you have introduced with your edits: (1) It's "Proper noun" not "Proper Noun". We don't capitalize after the first letter of a section header. (2) You've given Rēmus as a singular proper noun for a member of the tribe, but (a) the singular form is not attested in Classical Latin, so the lemma should be the plural. There are no known singular forms. And (b) a noun like Rēmus would not be a proper noun but a common noun. While a tribal name can be a proper nohn, the noun indicating membership in a group would be a common noun, not proper. I'ts analogous to Felis leo being the name of the lion species, but a member of that species is just a lion. In the English language, French is a proper noun demonting a certain people, but Frenchman is a common noun. Yes, it's capitalized, but that's because it derives from the capitalized word French, and not because it's a proper noun. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:48, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- I seem to be forgetting just about every convention of Latin linguistics (the common noun distinction for members of the group should have been obvious). Thank you again, I have removed the singular and will remove the inflection table for Rēmi (since I cannot find an appropriate inflection table for it which does not incorporate a singular), leaving just the nominative plural as the lemma without inflections until a suitable table can be devised. And I will also avoid capitalising section headers henceforth. Thank you again! Benjitheijneb (talk) 10:53, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
Latin aeternusEdit
Can this word also mean eternal? Since the descendants also are eternal, this makes me think that this word could also mean eternal in Latin. Could you confirm this? Razorflame 20:56, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
- <butting in> Yes. Added. SemperBlotto (talk) 07:09, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, in fact this is (though intermediate stages) the source word from which we get English eternal. The problem with using "eternal" as a definition, however, is that it has multiple meanings, all of which apply to aeternus. To put it another way, aeternus has multiple senses, and eternal (with its multiple senses) could translate any of them. So, it can be used as a translation/definition, but not without additional clarification. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:46, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
In everyday speech, visit is pronounced /ˈvɪzɪt/ or /ˈvɪzət/ ? 22.214.171.124 14:48, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- It is pronouced both ways. The first is more fully enunciated, and more likely in the UK or eastern US, but the second pronunciation is common as well. --EncycloPetey (talk) 13:50, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
I've just created this, but the inflection looks wrong to me. Could you correct it please, or just delete it if totally wrong. SemperBlotto (talk) 11:30, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- It looks serviceable to me, and the forms cited in the Oxford Latin Dictionary match those in the table. The only downside is that you don't have the locative case. Some of the templates have showing the location as an option, but others do not. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:45, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- I had forgotten about the change to templates that automatically remove macrons, so was supplying the wrong parameters - fixed before you looked at it. SemperBlotto (talk) 07:10, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. Lewis & Short have napy (napyos) as a Latin word for mustard. I can't think how it would be inflected, or what templates to use. Any ideas? SemperBlotto (talk) 16:18, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
- Judging by the OLD (Oxf. Latin Dict.), this is a hapax legomenon. It appears in Pliny's Natural History, where he appears to be saying something like "which the Anthenians call napy" and in anothe place "...the other shepherd's purse, called napy by the Persians". So, it seems to appear only in Pliny and only in reference to what foreigners call thlaspi. It thus seems to be an attempt by Pliny at a transliteration of a foreign word, and not a Latin one. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:30, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you added the etymology to havi several years ago. Are you sure that it comes from habeo? It seems more likely to me that it comes from the English word "have", unless you know of a source that says otherwise. Let me know what you think. Mr. Granger (talk) 01:23, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- This source agrees with me, so I'm going to go ahead and make the change. Mr. Granger (talk) 03:05, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- It's been so long ago, that I cannot recall what source suggested the etymology to me. Thanks for your edit. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:09, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

sneak - as an adjective? (e.g. sneak peek, sneak preview, etc.)Edit
Hi and thanks for the msg re: sneaked - I'm appreciative of the info.
Also, what do you think of sneak as an adjective? E.g. we have sneak peek, sneak preview (meaning advance look at a portion of a work). Also we have sneak thief (a thief who does so quietly and wanting to avoid detection). Also noticed "sneak photo" and "sneak look" in Google Books.
As for verbs, we have sneak up, sneak in, sneak away, sneak off (I'm not quite sure we need all these - then do we also need "sneak around", "sneak out", etc.? Facts707 (talk) 04:20, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
- I'd say that "sneak" does look like an adjective based on the examples you've given. The combination sneak peek probably deserves to stay as an entry, as it's an extremely common and fixed collocation of those two components. There is always the danger in assuming that this sort of construction makes the first component an adjective, as sometimes it's actually a noun. In "computer table", for instance, "computer is a noun is apposition to "table", rather than an adjective description. The same can be said of "dog collar", "book depository", or "exercise program". So, you just have to be sure that you don't get fooled in these situations where "sneak" might actually be a noun sense. You can always ask for additional opinions in the Tea Room.
- The phrasal verbs with "sneak" (e.g. "sneak off") are probably legit as well. Print dictionaries tend to lump these under the main verb to conserve page space, but Wiktionary has opted to give them separate entries, when merited, as we are not limited by any page count. We probably should have an entry for sneak out, and possibly for sneak around (although I'm less convinced of that). --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:45, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

- It stands for "reference quotation". --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:22, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

- Sort of, but since "quotation" refers to the quote itself, and the templates are for the source of the quotations, they were called "reference quotation" templates. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:15, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

User:DCDuring/Chinese materia medicaEdit
I have been working with a convenience sample of terms taken from the ingredients tables that are in some Chinese entries. The sample included many genitive forms of taxonomic names that are some of the most commonly used taxa in Wiktionary. For my initial purposes I am adding wikilinks to the component Latin terms. In addition to taxa (some not in WP or Wikispecies) and good Latin terms I have found obsolete taxa, non-standard spellings of taxa (mostly v/u and j/i substitutions), and Latin terms I cannot find in references available to me (eg, recence, probably just a misspelling of recente that appeared in Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, Volume 1). I have also found a couple of terms that seem to not be SoP, even in botanical Latin. The two so far are:
- Bombyx Batryticatus, which seems to be Bombyx mori (silkworm) infected by Batrytis bassiana (now Beauveria bassiana (not in WP)?) (14 instances)
- Rhizoma Chuanxiong, which is Rhizoma of Ligusticum chuanxiong, now Ligusticum striatum (54 instances)
How Wiktionary ultimately presents these and all the other latinate expressions is open. First the tables in the Chinese entries are distinctly non-standard content, though they fit under the heading of Meronym (not a common heading!). If we were to keep the table contents, the component terms used would need to be defined as English or Translingual terms to be consistent with their use in the entries. That would mean adding all the genitive forms of the taxa used. Alternatively, the entire latinate expressions could be defined as English or Translingual expressions.
It will take me quite a while to mine the Chinese entries for the taxonomic names they contain, so I would like to put off any action on this, but, in view of your expressed interest in this area, I thought you might be interested. DCDuring TALK 13:12, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
If something about how these items are presented seems obvious and beyond dispute to you, please let me know so I can possibly incorporate it into my work on the Chinese entries as soon as practical. DCDuring TALK 13:28, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- It seems weird to me to define something as "rhizoma" in an English definition, when "rhizoma" is not an English word. The English is rhizome. I'm not sure there will be a fixed set of criteria, through certain principles may evolve as work progresses. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:51, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- These seem to be taken verbatim from contemporary books on traditional Chinese medicine.
- I'm not sure how to interpret the practice in books written in English of using these terms. Doesn't that make them English, but just in a specific context? They don't necessarily seem to be good Latin, as agreement does not always look correct to me, eg, recente is an ablative, but would seem to be modifying either a nominative or genitive noun. Even if it were a Medieval or New Latin adverb, it doesn't make sense to me in the context of its use.
- In any event I will continue to mine the Chinese entries for taxonomic names and linkify them as best I can, to the taxa and the Latin, English, or, possibly, Translingual lemma entries that seem closest. DCDuring TALK 16:59, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
Please help to make the policy respectedEdit
I'm sorry to write you directly but nobody has answered in WT:BP:
- Today, the blocking policy you've participated to write is systematically violated by Chuck Entz (talk • contribs) as you can see: he took the bad habit to never discuss when blocking and the figures can objectively qualify his profile of a "happy trigger serial blocker" (and so he contravenes to WT:Be bold and Help:Interacting with humans too). Whereas he was elected with a presentation which talks about he's ability to justify himself with the "Undo" link.
- My bot account was a victim of his arbitrary decisions, so I had carefully followed the Wiktionary unblocking process without implying that the blocker should have something to reproach to himself.
- Than he wrote the BP paragraph which seemed to me enough wise.
- But now that this paragraph is no longer on the current BP page, I tried to conclude the event on his talk page. But he's ignoring everything from me and I don't understand these discriminations because I stayed factual, respectful and even friendly.
I think that if you decide to advise both of us may listen seriously. JackPotte (talk) 11:32, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
An important message about renaming usersEdit
Dear EncycloPetey,
I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.
As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.
Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.
The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.
Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.
In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.
Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.
Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Template:la-noun parameter for secondary genitive formsEdit
Hello EP. Given all you've written at Template talk:la-noun, you may be interested to learn that the named parameter gen2 now works properly in generating the display of secondary genitive forms for entries that need them; see, for example, poppyzōn, which lists the two genitive forms poppyzontis and poppyzontos.

Latin PronunciationsEdit
In producing your audio of the pronunciation of words in classical Latin, why did you distinguish the quantity of the short 'i' and the long 'i' but not the quality?--220.127.116.11 05:42, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- I have answered you on Commons, where you also posted this question. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:14, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
The R in Classical LatinEdit
Was the R rolled or tapped in Classical Latin? Did it vary by region? I've noticed that your audio files do not have rolled R's, but the IPA is transcribed with [r] rather than [ɹ]. Thanks. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 02:38, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- On the other hand, you tapped (I think that's a tap) the R in your pronunciation of Andrew Sheedy (talk) 03:04, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- I really appreciate what you're doing with the pronunciation. It's greatly helping my Latin learning. Not sure if you're around right now, but my above question will likely remain relevant for a some time, since I've not been able to find the answer elsewhere. Figuring out the pronunciation rules for that R (which you pronounce at least three different ways in your audio files) would be great, since not all sources seem to agree on what it should be (some say it's rolled, some say it's as in English). Thanks again. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 02:14, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- The /r/ is not (necessarily) referring to [r]; although by Late Latin it seems certain that it was indeed [r], some phonological evidence suggests that, at least in certain environments, it was a different rhotic phone in classical and anteclassical times. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:53, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Metaknowledge That's helpful, thank you. In some instances, EncycloPetey's pronunciation has [ɹ] or [ɾ] where the phonetic transcription (I'm not worried about the phonemic transcription here) is [r]. If I'm aiming or a Classical pronunciation, am I safe consistently using an alveolar trill? Or is it just something that isn't clear about Latin pronunciation? Andrew Sheedy (talk) 00:16, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
- There is no one Classical pronunciation. Classical Latin was spoken over a massive area by a wide range of peoples for a long period of time, and we know a lot less about it and its variations than you might think, despite linguistic writings and prescriptivist rants or satirical pieces (e.g. Catullus 84). But on a practical level, if we acknowledge those issues, I'd go for a short alveolar trill. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:19, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Classical /r/ is one of the sounds I find challenging to reproduce with my own voice. This is one reason that I have not uploaded an audio file for certain common Latin words containing r: I am not satisfied with the results of my attempts to generate the proper sound. Someone with greater vocal control and auditory skill than myself might be able to produce better audio files for those words. --EncycloPetey (talk) 14:22, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

- The citations page suggests it's a proper noun Aclydas, and the spelling and ending suggest to me that it's Latinized from Greek. But I find nothing in my print resources on a quick look.
- Checking google books, the results divide into two groups: (1) scannos for aclydes and (2) a host of hits that all seem to be versions of the same annotated copy of Virgil. These latter citations seem to be exactly what you thought: a variant form of aclys, which the OLD traces back to Virgil. So, it is either a misprint that was reprinted, or a variant form. Either way, the information should probably lead the user to aclys. --EncycloPetey (talk) 06:14, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
I know that I am blocked because I vandalized, but I won't do it again. Can I please edit again?
12:22, 4 February 2016
P.S. could you respond on my talk page?
- What will you do if unblocked? Your first and only edit was to delete a translation and insult users. It's great that you've pledged not to vandalise, but what will you do to contribute that makes it worth unblocking you? --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:46, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
Shunpiking has also come to mean an avoidance of major highways (regardless of tolls) in preference for bucolic and scenic interludes along lightly traveled country roads.Edit
That's from the WP article, which i consulted to reassure myself that it was the deleter, and not i (as is so often the case) who is uninformed (viz., about the practice of shunning the pikes for pleasure rather than penuriousness). Editing wikt doesn't give me the same satisfaction i find at WP, so perhaps this verbum sap. suffices. Cheers.
Oh, BTW, was pleased to learn the origin of "piker" in the vertical pikes; i came here to check my notion that [mere] pikers were etymologically shunpikers, the cheapskates shunning the horizontal pikes. Live, speak, and learn, i guess!

Please explain what "having multiple definitions" has to do with having or not having a translation table. DTLHS (talk) 19:49, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- First, please refer to WT:WWIN, specifically (4) "Wiktionary is not paper". We don't have to pare down entries to bare minimum to save space. Deleting a translations section is never necessary. Second, the entry for siccity has a single definition, but dryness has two definitions. Referring the reader from an entry with a single definition to an entry with two definitions leaves the reader uncertain which of the various translation may or may not apply. In general,
{{trans-see}}should only be used if the words involved are 100% synonyms, with no difference in meaning or usage. Third, the word siccity is rare and jargonistic, whereas dryness is common English, so the two have different usages, and cannot be considered 100% equivalent. Their translations will thus also differ. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:53, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- If "siccity" isn't a synonym of dryness then you need to edit the definition to make that clear. DTLHS (talk) 19:55, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- Furthermore, saying that Wiktionary is "not paper" and therefore there is no reason to ever delete translations is ridiculous. Every entry has a real, measurable cost of maintenance, and editors' time and energy is finite. DTLHS (talk) 20:01, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- Wiktionary is a volunteer effort. I did not set up the siccity entry or write its original definition. Nor did I assume it was a 100% synonym of another word. Rather, you made that assumption and deleted structure. In such situations, the resposibility falls upon you to do the legwork to verify that what you are assuming is correct. Do not toss off that responsibility so lightly. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:08, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- I assumed nothing that was not already present in the entry. Since you're so sure it's non-synonymous you should be able to come up with a better definition, and also translations that can't go in dryness. DTLHS (talk) 20:12, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- You seem more interested in arguing that editing, so your argument about "measurable cost of maintenance" is clearly disingenuous. I can no longer assume good faith from you. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:16, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- Fine, let's ask someone who actually regularly adds translations to entries. @Atitarev, if you saw this translation section in siccity, would you redirect it to dryness? DTLHS (talk) 20:17, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- @DTLHS Yes, it makes sense, since it's a rare word. It's better not to provide translations for each synonym (if they are close enough) or alternative form. Translations need to be merged if they exist in both tables. There are cases where I disagree with the usage of
{{trans-see}}, e.g. I don't think scold and reprimand are close enough to merge translations. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:12, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Atitarev, the issue here is that there are two translations tables at the target location, but only one definition at the source. So how will the user know which definition of dryness applies, and thus which translation table to use? --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:15, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
- Either the source has incomplete definitions or the target has a redundant sense. If the source matches only one sense of the target, you could use that sense in the redirect -
{{trans-see|lack of dryness|dryness}}. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:51, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
- Either the source has incomplete definitions or the target has a redundant sense. If the source matches only one sense of the target, you could use that sense in the redirect -

Hi. Many years ago you changed the language for the entry Theodoric from Ancient Germanic to Old High German. Now a discussion has arisen whether the proper noun is (Old High) German at all, or simply just English. If you can shed light on that question, please join the discussion. --Lambiam 18:59, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Latin audioEdit
A quick note to say thanks for the Latin audio on Wiktionary. We are using it on wikiversity:Latin starting with Classified Vocabulary List. If you felt like adding more we'd be incredibly grateful! But I realise that would be s big ask. Also thanks for keeping the file name conventions clear. JimKillock (talk) 19:32, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- @JimKillock I'm glad to hear it! The words that I recorded were deliberately selected from the beginning chapters of several major published Latin courses. Unfortunately, I am not currently able to record new words, in part because I am so busy on Wikisource. Additionally the Audacity software I was using has borked, and try as I might, it no longer plays well with my computer's OS. I do not anticipate recording additional vocabulary in the forseeable future. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:59, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Yes, this American Crow has all white feathers and pink feet, legs and bill. These are all features of albino birds; however, a full albino bird should have red or pink eyes while this bird's eyes. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology explains: "Albinism is a genetic mutation that prevents the production of melanin in the body. Albinistic birds have pink eyes because without melanin in the body, the only color in the eyes comes from the blood vessels behind the eyes."
However, as can be seen in the photo above, the normal American Crows have black bills, legs and feet while those are pink on the white crow. The other genetic defect is called leucism, but it only affects the deposit of melanin in feathers. So this white crow appears to have partial albinism.
I watched this bird as it fed, the perched for awhile, then later as it flew off into the field above to feed some more. All this time the white crow stayed in the company of these normal crows. Though it fed near the others, they did seem to avoid it and would move away when it came near. The others seemed aware that this white crow was different from them.
You can see that the white crow really stands out both on the ground and as it flies with the other crows. That makes them vulnerable to predation. Though since crows are pretty good sized birds they are not as vulnerable as smaller birds.
You can read here about an albino hummingbird I wrote about on this blog last year.
Have you ever seen an albino or leucistic bird?

The Xfce 4 Window Manager is part of the Xfce Desktop Environment. The actual command to run it is
xfwm4. To run it in the background use
xfwm4 –daemon. The window manager is responsible for the placement of windows on the screen, provides the window decorations and allows you to move, resize or close windows.
xfwm4 adheres strongly to the standards defined on freedesktop.org. Consequently, special features such as making windows borderless or providing an icon for the application must now be implemented in the application—you can no longer use the window manager to force different behavior. One of the great features of xfwm4 is its themeability. The window decorations (borders, title bar and window buttons) can be configured by using window manager themes.
xfwm4 offers multihead support for both xinerama and real multiscreen modes (useful when you have more than one monitor connected to your computer).
xfwm4 can be run stand-alone, but if you use it this way, you will need the Xfce Settings Manager if you want GUI settings management. Tasks other than managing windows, like setting a background image or launching programs, need to be performed by other programs.
xfwm4 includes its own compositing manager which takes advantage of the new X.org's server extensions. The compositor is like a WM on its own. It manages a stack of all windows, monitors all kinds of X events and reacts accordingly. Having the compositing manager embedded in the window manager also helps to keep the various visual effects in sync with window events. If you want to use the compositor, you have to build xfwm4 using the
–enable-compositor configuration option. In any case, you can disable the compositor on xfwm4 startup using the
–compositor=off argument.

General Audiences
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Good morning.
Our meeting is taking place in the spiritual climate of Advent, which is made all the more intense by the Holy Christmas Novena we are experiencing in these days that lead us to the celebration of Christmas.
Therefore, today I would like to reflect with you on the Birth of Jesus, the feast of trust and of hope, which overcomes uncertainty and pessimism. And the reason for our hope is this: God is with us and God still trusts us! Think well on this: God is with us and God still trusts us. God the Father is generous. He comes to abide with mankind, he chooses earth as his dwelling place to remain with people and to be found where man passes his days in joy or in sorrow.
Therefore, earth is no longer only "a valley of tears", rather it is the place where God himself has pitched his tent, it is the meeting place of God with man, of God's solidarity with men.
God willed to share in our human condition to the point of becoming one with us in the Person of Jesus, who is true Man and true God. However, there is something even more surprising. The presence of God among men did not take place in a perfect, idyllic world but rather in this real world, which is marked by so many things both good and bad, by division, wickedness, poverty, arrogance and war. He chose to live in our history as it is, with all the weight of its limitations and of its tragedies. In doing so, he has demonstrated in an unequalled manner his merciful and truly loving disposition toward the human creature. He is God-with-us. Jesus is God-with-us. Do you believe this? Together let us profess: Jesus is God with us! Jesus is God with us always and for ever with us in history's suffering and sorrow. The Birth of Jesus reveals that God "sided" with man once and for all, to save us, to raise us from the dust of our misery, from our difficulty, from our sins.
Hence the great "gift" of the Child of Bethlehem: He brings us a spiritual energy, an energy which helps us not to despair in our struggle, in our hopelessness, in our sadness, for it is an energy that warms and transforms the heart. Indeed, the Birth of Jesus brings us the good news that we are loved immensely and uniquely by God, and he not only enables us to know this love, he also gives it to us, he communicates it to us!
We may derive two considerations from the joyous contemplation of the mystery of the Son of God born for us.
The first is that if God, in the Christmas mystery, reveals himself not as One who remains on high and dominates the universe, but as the One who bends down, descends to the little and poor earth, it means that, to be like him, we should not put ourselves above others, but indeed abase ourselves, place ourselves at the service of others, become small with the small and poor with the poor. It is regrettable to see a Christian who does not want to lower himself, who does not want to serve. A Christian who struts about is ugly: this is not Christian, it is pagan. The Christian serves, he lowers himself. Let us be sure that our brothers and sisters do not ever feel alone!
The second consequence: if God, through Jesus, involved himself with man to the point of becoming one of us, it means that whatever we have done to a brother or to a sister we have done to him. Jesus himself reminded us of this: whoever has fed, welcomed, visited, loved one of the least and poorest of men, will have done it to the Son of God.
Let us entrust ourselves to the maternal intercession of Mary, the Mother of Jesus and our Mother, that she may help us this holy Christmastide, which is already close at hand, to see in the face of our neighbour, especially the weakest and most marginalized people, the image of the Son of God made man.
I greet all the English-speaking pilgrims present at today's Audience including those from England, Australia and the United States. I thank the members of "Up with People" for their musical entertainment. Upon you and your families I invoke God's blessings of joy and peace!
I address a special greeting to young people, to the sick and to newlyweds. Dear young people, especially the different Scout groups, draw near to the mystery of Bethlehem with the same sentiments of faith and humility that Mary had. You, dear sick, draw from the Crib the joy and intimate peace that Jesus comes to bring the world. And you, dear newlyweds, contemplate the example of the Holy Family of Nazareth by imitating their virtues.
I cordially greet the Poles: those present here, as well as your fellow countrymen in Poland and abroad. In a few days time our hearts will be filled with the joy of the Lord's Birth. By leaving a spare place at the dinner table on the Vigil of Christmas, we remember the poor, the hungry, people who are alone, the homeless, the marginalized, the war weary, and especially children! Jesus, the Son of God made Man is present in all of them. Let us open our hearts in order that they may share in our joy. Praised be Jesus Christ.

WALTHAM, Mass.- On Senior Day, the Brandeis Women's Soccer team faced a tough UAA matchup at home against 21st-ranked Carnegie Mellon. The Judges celebrated the excellent four year careers of their seniors, goalie Francine Kofinas (Dix Hills, N.Y./ Half Hollow Hills West) and midfielder Zoe Siegel (Erie, Pa./ McDowell), but the Tartans proved to be too much to handle. Brandeis fell 4-0, moving to 12-4-2 (1-3-2 UAA) while Carnegie Mellon improved to 11-1-3 (4-1-1 UAA).
In the first half, it was a fairly even battle. The Tartans held a slight 5-3 edge in shots and 2-1 advantage in corner kicks. However, Carnegie Mellon made the most of their chances. They managed to score two goals in the 8th and 28th minutes, pulling away before Brandeis really got out of the gate. The second half was slightly more lopsided as the Judges conceded two more goals and were outshot 16-3.
Kofinas recorded a season-high 61:03 minutes while allowing two goals and making two saves. Sophomore keeper Michelle Savuto (Ridgewood, N.J./ Ridgewood) played the other 28:57 minutes, also conceding two goals and recording two saves. The Brandeis goalies also got some help from sophomore defender Emma Eddy (Hinesburg, Vt./ Champlain Valley Union) who cleared the ball off the line to save goals in the 46th and 62nd minutes. For the Tartans, junior goalie Anna Albi (Cincinnati, Ohio/ Summit Country Day) played 86:29 while making two saves and senior Becca Gold (Beverly Hills, Calif./ Beverly Hills) played the final 3:31. Rookie midfielder Mathilde Robinson (Palmetto Bay, Fla./ Miami Palmetto) led the Judges offense with two shots including one shot on goal. Carnegie Mellon was led by junior forward Alex Venegas (Los Angeles, Calif./ Harvard-Westlake School) who scored two goals, one in each half, and had an assist for a five point afternoon.
Brandeis completes their season on the road in UAA play at NYU on Saturday November 3rd at 11:00 a.m. Carnegie Mellon returns home to face Emory on Saturday November 3rd for their final regular season game at 3:00 p.m.

Moscow and the Central Federal District captured the team titles this week as the Russian Cup began in Penza.
The Russian Cup — featuring team, all-around and individual events — is the last competitive chance for on-the-bubble gymnasts to prove themselves worthy of Olympian status.
Powered by superstars Aliya Mustafina and Viktoria Komova, Moscow ran away with the women's title on Wednesday, which also served as the qualification for all-around and event finals.
Mustafina scored 59.335 to Komova's 59.234. Komova's 16.134 on uneven bars (new double-double dismount) was the highest score of the women's meet, followed closely by Mustafina's 15.834. Komova, who returned to all-around competition after ankle surgery this spring, outscored Mustafina on vault but dropped off balance beam on her consecutive layouts.
Moscow teammate Maria Paseka landed her Amanar for the top vault score of the competition (15.800).
Ksenia Afanaseyva and Anna Dementyeva were back in action for the Central Region. Both gymnasts posted strong beam scores but Afanasyeva fell on vault and Dementyeva fell twice on floor exercise.
Russia's athletic rules allowed gymnasts' scores to count twice: one for their native region and one for the region in which they may be affiliated. This double representation allowed Komova (gold with Moscow and silver with Central) and Dementyeva (silver with Central and bronze with Volga) to receive two medals each on Wednesday.
2008 Olympian Sergei Khorokhordin led Central to the men's team title on Tuesday, defeating Siberia and the Ural Region. Khorokhordin was the top qualifier with 89.050. World team member Nikita Ignatyev qualified second with 87.900.
Olympic hope David Belyavsky, who has been suffering from a pinched nerve in his neck, scored 87.400 after a botched vault (12.900 for piked Tsukahara).
Penza's own Denis Ablyazin impressed the home crowd with scores of 15.700 on floor exercise, 15.350 on still rings and 16.200 on vault.

A Message From Tom Ricketts
As part of the Cubs' ongoing efforts to engage and communicate with their fans, Chairman Tom Ricketts wrote the following letter to Cubs Season Ticket Holders:
Dear Season Ticket Holder -
With the 2012 season having drawn to a close, it's time for all of us at the Chicago Cubs to thank you for your support and provide an update on the progress we've made toward building a championship-caliber organization. You are a vital stakeholder to this franchise and an important partner in our transformation.
Despite this year's results in the standings, we are confident the Chicago Cubs are heading in the right direction. Our players, coaches, management and front office have approached their jobs with professionalism, effort and unity, which has created a winning atmosphere inside the organization. It's our responsibility to turn that effort into additional wins on the field. Our number one goal is to reward loyal generations of Cubs fans with a World Series and we're reinvesting every dollar spent by our fans into the franchise to achieve that goal.
To achieve our goal, it was clear the team needed a long-term strategy. Over the past year, we recruited new baseball leadership to create and execute a plan for building a consistently-competitive ballclub. We now have a long-term strategy in place and a baseball organization focused on delivering a championship to Wrigley Field. That team is communicating openly and honestly about implementing a proven model for sustained success.
As part of that strategy, we are developing a core of young players at the major league level. This season provided an opportunity for homegrown and acquired players to gain valuable experience and establish themselves as potential long-term contributors to the club.
Our minor league system improved in 2012, as the Cubs acquired, drafted or signed a significant wave of new talent into the organization. We welcomed a strong 2012 first-year player draft class into the system, building on a franchise-record investment in draft signings in 2011. Many of these players made immediate positive contributions. In fact, five Cubs prospects were included in MLB's recently-released Top 100 Prospects list; a total topped by only three other teams in the league. A number of our newly-acquired players excelled in both the minor and major leagues and look to contribute further in 2013 and beyond.
We've welcomed new talent in the front office as well. Perhaps no operation bears more responsibility for advancing our organizational plan than scouting and player development. After a season of evaluation, our scouting and development teams have been reorganized to procure and develop the best amateur, professional and international talent available. Our scouts and coaches have been equipped with state-of-the-art analysis tools and equipment to enhance the club's analytical capabilities.
In addition to personnel investments, we've made significant upgrades to our facilities. We are currently building a new baseball academy to serve our Latin American players in the Dominican Republic. The facility, open year-round, will span 50 acres with baseball fields, training facilities, player housing and an education center, making it the largest academy in the country. Additionally, we broke ground this season on a new Spring Training facility in Mesa, Ariz., that will be one of the premier training facilities in baseball, as well as a more enjoyable venue for watching a Spring Training game. We continue to make improvements to Wrigley Field's facilities for our players and fans, with larger scale investments coming down the road. All of these improvements will enhance your fan experience and bolster the club's ability to attract and develop elite players throughout the world.
Lastly, we continue to invest in the Chicago community to help deserving children and families. The Cubs and Chicago Cubs Charities will support a team-record $4.5 million of donations to worthwhile nonprofits and programs across Chicagoland this year. We're honored to support the people and organizations that make our city a great place to work, live and play baseball.
In the end, we are fans and our goal is to win. We're committed to building an organization you can be proud of and we're committed to building a champion the right way. This franchise has embarked on a path that will present challenges along the way, but the destination is promising.
We deeply and sincerely appreciate your ongoing support.
Tom Ricketts
Chairman, Chicago Cubs

Let's see how many Planet Debian posts in a row we can get about the fact that sarge is released! Yeah! ;)
I've already been personally congratulated a number of times today on the release, and I know the other members of the release team have also been congratulated. This feels awkward to me, because even though I've certainly put in long hours trying to pull this together (and hold it together), this is a community effort: the release team cannot and does not do this alone. There are many other teams involved in achieving a Debian release, and all the release schedule frustrations and eventual triumphs :) happen in a much larger context than that of "the release team".
So when congratulating the people responsible for the release of this latest iteration of Debian's high-quality, free operating system, don't forget to congratulate and thank the FTP team, for their behind-the-scenes work keeping the system running that makes development possible; the documentation team, for their fine work on the sarge installation manual and the (somewhat hurried :) release notes; the CD team and mirror team, for the long hours they put in this weekend to get our official distribution channels in shape; the installation team, for the flexible new Debian-Installer; the porters, some of whom had to fight last minute buildd outages (naturally ;) to get those last few bugs fixed; and some other teams too that aren't unimportant to the process just because I'm in too much of a daze to acknowledge them here.
And thanks to the many maintainers, bug fixers, translators and documentors who have helped to make sarge a distribution worth releasing.
Sarge is once again proof that communities can do great things — even communities of irritable, cantankerous, grudge-holding, flaming Free Software nuts. ;)
