Talk:lettish horn

RFV discussion: November–December 2017
A musical instrument. Caught my attention because I wondered if it should be big-L Lettish; but in fact the term is very hard to find outside of Wikipedia's much-copied article. Equinox ◑ 18:45, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

 * At least two of those three citations are mentions. —Granger (talk · contribs) 21:59, 12 November 2017 (UTC)


 * They are quoting Wikipedia! Equinox ◑ 22:01, 12 November 2017 (UTC)


 * It looks like it at first glance, but if you look more closely, you will see that they are not. The list of synonyms differ in both spelling and content. The rest of the sentence is slightly different, too. Kiwima (talk) 23:54, 13 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Maybe one book was quoting the other? Khemehekis (talk) 03:14, 14 November 2017 (UTC)


 * They may have simply quoted different versions of the Wikipedia article.  The difference in spelling is down to one character, perhaps one that wasn't supported by one writer's operating system because the WP article contained this spelling since the word was added in 2007, and otherwise the nearly identical order of the list would indicate some kind literary dependence.

 * Even if they are -- we don't use Wikipedia because it is not durably archived. If durably archived, a text should count, even if they took their material originally from Wikipedia. However, I can see where that would only count as one "author" rather than two. Kiwima (talk) 19:47, 15 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if that's true. CFI says "We do not quote other Wikimedia sites". But I guess I'd accept it, personally. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:24, 23 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Also, Kiwima, it would be helpful if you could provide links to the sources of quotes if they're accessible online—that makes it much easier for other editors to verify them. —Granger (talk · contribs) 22:05, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
