Category talk:Etymologies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	This non-article page is within the scope of the WikiProject Etymology, an attempt at improving etymologies on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks.

Note that articles in this category cannot be transwikied to Wiktionary as belonging in an (etymological) dictionary rather than an encyclopedia: the Wiktionary community has strong opposition against discussing "Word histories" (see this vote on "whether to allow people to create in-depth word histories for words"; the very notion that languages have histories that can be studied is thoughtcrime in the book of several wikt: admins), and etymological entries on wiktionary are in serious danger of being deleted by "anti-history" admins. Instead, "Etymology" sections in wiktionary should feature a wikt:Template:wikipedia template pointing to etymological discussions on Wikipedia whenever available. dab (𒁳) 08:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
