Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Request for confirmation of etymology

The template I used in the edit you reverted is now gone, so I have no reason to revert back. Nonetheless it should be possible to request a source confirming a claim about etymology. I now see that Wiktionary policy is rather poor in this respect, since there is no fast and non-time-consuming way to request such sourcing - the only option is initiating a prolonged discussion in some section called the Etymology Scriptorium, which I have no intention of doing. In any case, the decent thing to do would have been to explain this in your edit summary, whereas simply reverting twice without comment is pure dickishness, in which you definitely seem to excel.
