I think it's a safe bet to say that the sport definition is improved quite a bit before the day orange reaches 150 definitions for separate languages. We're all volunteers so we'll all probably continue contributing what we enjoy contributing the most. Trying to police what aspects contributors should work on is probably going to take a lot more energy and still be in vain.
ARAUSIO GOD FREE
If you feel that sport needs a better definition and you feel you are able to write a better definition, the please feel free to improve it. We have been doing this for some time and Wiktionary is only seeing an increase in use. When people have found and contributed 150 a word spelled exactly as "orange" from 150 languages we may well have 150 entries, but I think that's unlikely. Wiktionary is analogous to the last type. Print translation dictionaries are either dedicated to one direction, come in two complementary volumes, or have both directions in one volume. Translation dictionaries need to translate in both directions.
ARAUSIO GOD PLUS
There are basic words, like sport which have crap defintions still, whilst we are making time and space for epole to put 175 plus entries for words such as "Orange". Personally, I think trying to do this will kill the Wiktionary before it gets off the ground. By that argument we would have something like 150 different language entries all under the English language entry ! See Wiktionary:beer parlour for discussion. Not a whole French entry in the English entry. That's an argument (queestionable) for having the translations there, possibly with a brief explanation agains the transaltion. Those who just need to look up a few French words use a translating dictionary designed for English speakers - that's us. Only people who can read French can use the French Wiktionary well. It is a translating dictionary as well as a "normal" dictionary. If you want to know about the French word 'Orange', surely you go to Richardb 12:02, (UTC)īecause Wiktionary's goal is to have all words from all languages. Why do we need the French information at all ? This is the English Wiktionary. Suggest just move the Proper Noun to the Primary (English) section, since the place names are the same both in English and French.- Richardb 22:26, (UTC) Reduce encyclopedic material in French proper noun section put something similar in English section. The name of the fruit entered English from French in the 13th century (OED).
The color came to be a symbol of the House of Orange (originally based in Orange) only in the 16th century. Orange, France, was not named for the fruit it is believed to have been named for a Celtic god, Arausio (see Bunson 1995, A Dictionary of the Roman Empire). Although in 1702 this area in France was no longer their possesion they remain the right to use this title for the oldest child of the family. The royal family of The Netherlands inherited the title Prince of Orange. The colour of the fruit used to be called yellowred and was replaced by orange. The town of Orange in France, once being the center of trade of citrus fruits, gave it's name to the orange. Reply I don't know about orange s, but perhaps scorange rhymes with orange? - Taejo 6:42, 15 July 2005 The question that really needs to be asked is: What rhymes with oranges? -This unsigned comment was added by 206.229.105.2 ( talk) at 20:01, 23 December 2004 (UTC). Surely the etymology of an English word is a valid question on an English dictionary. If you want to know about the French word 'Orange', surely you go to Richardb 12:03, (UTC) Does anybody know which use came first for "orange." Did the fruit come first, then the color, then the town of Orange in France and then the Dutch royal family or was did the Dutch royal family pick the color and apply it to the fruit? -This unsigned comment was added by 68.37.144.181 ( talk) at 23:20, 23 November 2004 (UTC).
