Talk:concertative

RFV discussion: November 2021–January 2022
Sorry for getting repetitive, but dictionaries only? A lot of those remaining in Category:Requests for quotation by source could well be dictionary-only terms too Notusbutthem (talk) 15:16, 28 November 2021 (UTC)


 * @Notusbutthem Did you look at Google Books at all for any of these? I see a TON of hits for " concertative" alone and saw some for "fuscation" as well. I would go through Google Books and see which ones are not found there and then send the RFVs here, just to save all of us some time of having to go through all of these.

 * Yep, that's generally what I do. Perhaps for a few of them I got sloppy and lazy though... that's just that way I roll, bro Notusbutthem (talk) 22:48, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * You have a funny definition of "a few". Kiwima (talk) 00:34, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * RFV isn't just about existence of the term, but about challenging the given definitions. The modern uses of concertative seen in GBooks mean something more like "consultative" or "acting in concert", essentially the opposite of the sense in the entry. OED only offers up one use of the "contentious" sense, making its inclusion doubtful. This, that and the other (talk) 04:31, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

I found two cites, but have yet to find a third. The older meaning seems completely eclipsed by the modern, concertation-related meaning. Kiwima (talk) 01:21, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
