Talk:Scroogelike

It doesn't make them worse. It's perfectly natural to separate definition and etymology. "Like Sherlock Holmes" is only useful to people who've read Doyle; our job is to extract and make explicit what it is that makes something "like Holmes". Also, the vote has only been up for a few days. It received some mild support before it begun.__Gamren (talk) 03:40, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No, you just ruined the definitions. can refer to any aspect of Sherlock Holmes, not just his skills. It can refer to his personality, his manner of speaking, even his pipe. If you don't understand that, you don't understand the word and should refrain from touching the entry. (As for your vote, it stands at 0–7 right now — the support is evidently so mild that even you haven't bothered to vote for it.) —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:11, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
