Appendix talk:Index/Cornish

Hi DavidL,

I'm trying to set up a new Wiktionary for Cornish New Words. Cornish is a revived language that is way behind English in modern scientific terminology. Because Wiktionary is directly editable by anyone and everyone it makes it a very immediate and convenient way for people to propose and vote on terminology proposals for the Cornish language. There is a similar site that does this on the Internet (www.govel.net), but it is opaque, closed and administered. Wiktionary offers a much more public, open and transparent way of doing this. Is this not an acceptable use of Wiktionary?

Please can you reply by editing Cornish New Words?

Thank you. ;o)


 * Certainly more Cornish in Wiktionary would be good ... the only word I can find defined is Er, although there are translations of a few numbers, language names, and the elements of the periodic table. Useful I guess if I want to ask someone for 2 grams of Lawrencium, perhaps.  But more the the basics of the language would be a big plus. Maybe this is something that should be discussed in the Beer parlour &mdash; DavidL 10:06, 30 Sept 2004 (UTC)

^-- Hi David, thanks for your speedy reply. I think the title was badly named. I've renamed it to Cornish Wiktionary of Specialist Terminology which is a much better description. Yeah, I agree with you it needs rfd. As we say in Cornish, "gwella dha jer!" or "good cheer to you!" ;o) Mickeymoo 10:20, 30 Sept 2004 UTC.
