 * Delete. The best of the quotations can be moved to, which doesn't really have any. DonnanZ (talk) 21:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete. why do I think we found a new PaM? Don't use Wiktionary to make super-passive-aggressive judgements. Equinox ◑ 01:24, 21 June 2018 (UTC)


 * What does PaM stand for?


 * There was a user called Pass a Method who would pick certain topics and create a lot of bizarre stuff to push the topic. For example he had an "Islam" period and he would create entries like (maybe) Muslimistically... there's loads of history but I can't pull it immediately from my head. By PaM I mean creating entries not because you think "here's a real word that isn't documented" but because you think "here's a [possibly not-at-all-used] word that will promote my agenda".

 * Uff da, yeah...the contribs list is an RFV nightmare. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 02:22, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Not like PaM- they don't really have any agenda beyond wanting to create entries for everything that doesn't get out of the way fast enough. Their problem isn't bad faith, but poor judgement. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:36, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think they're acting in good faith and just (like some other contributors) including the kinds of common (by a flexible, situational definition of 'common') collocations that a translation dictionary would include, rather than strictly idiomatic things that a dictionary would include. (Strikes me as a Wikipedian; Wikipedia often might have separate articles or sections for "individual racism", etc.) I left a message on their talk page about SOP. Btw, the question about PAM comes up often enough that maybe we should have WT:PAM and WT:WF explainers... ;) and I'm only half joking . - -sche (discuss) 19:49, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Honestly though. I've been trying to piece together the WF narrative since I've started here, and I had given up on understanding what PaM meant until Equinox's explanation above. >_<' --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 21:04, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm still trying to work out what POV means, which has been used against me in the past. At the time I was probably too overawed to ask. DonnanZ (talk) 13:38, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It stands for "point of view", but also gets used like an adjective roughly meaning "biased". Wikipedia makes much ado about trying to maintain "NPOV", a "neutral point of view". - -sche (discuss) 05:11, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks, that would explain it, I do tend to have points of view... DonnanZ (talk) 09:02, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
