Hi Wlbeattie,

I just wanted to stop by and give you a little information on why I tagged your article for deletion. Wikipedia policy (determined by consensus, which is one of our core values) states that Wikipedia is not a dictionary and, although such pages are generally transwikied to Wiktionary, our sister project, unfortunately your article would not necessarily have a place there, either.

If you wish to contribute to articles relating to your topic, may I suggests the articles on trolls or forum moderators as starting points. Thank you, and happy editing! --jonny-mt(t)(c) 02:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

In regarding the wikipedia not being a dictionary - it is still a place of reference and IMHO there needs to be a topic regarding common usage words whose meaning are not readily available anywhere other than as anecdotal jottings.

IMO the deletion of this topic may class you in that category - I am not sure how to edit my original entry but will try.

I was hoping this would be a starting point where people could define the extent and usage of this term.

 * Well, I'm not sure how I feel about being called a Nazi, but I should also advise you of two other principles of Wikipedia: everything must be verifiable, and no original research is allowed. Essentially, the user-created nature of Wikipedia means that it can't be a first source or a forum for publishing your original work.  In short, while I think your idea is a fine one, this is simply not the place you're looking for.  You might try everything2 instead. --jonny-mt(t)(c) 05:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
