Talk:Enterprisey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was deleted through the prod process recently. That deletion has been contested, and the article has been restored. Further attempts at deleting this article should be made through WP:AFD or WP:CSD if the article meets any speedy deletion criteria except the recreation of deleted material criterion.

A quick Google search turned up a DailyWTF post on March 21, 2006 (3 days earlier), as well as a random comment from Sep, 2005. Maybe a better wording would be "first popularized"?

A more careful Google search turns up similar uses from 2001: "Java's APIs have that "enterprisey" feel -- that is, "huge and bloated". Swing & AWT's poor performance is the main reason for Java's "slow" reputation."

[edit] Troll?

An example use would be "Rails based Web-App runs in an application server".

(http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enterprisey&diff=next&oldid=48680262)

This claims to be an example of the use of Know-no-thing'sy, but the word doesn't even appear in the sentence. Is this simply a troll against Rails? I have no qualms about Rails being used as the target if the sentence were actually an example of the word's use, but in the current form it looks like trolling/vandalism.

Looks like that section was removed in a later edit Lukfugl 15:55, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
