User talk:D P DIMaggio Jr.

I do not understand why you removed my contribution of the noun quid
This is definitely a colloquial use of the word and I would guess that there are somewhere between 20,000 and 50,000 Americans that are aware of this use. The nick name of the headmaster Frank L Boyden should be remembered, as it is a famous figure in education with several books written about him. As a 60 year educator, he should be celebrated and more known about him which would be accessible to the public through your site. I was going back to edit it because I miss spelled Boyden But you had removed it. How do we discuss adding it back in? D P DIMaggio Jr. (talk) 14:56, 21 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Nicknames used in schools don't usually enter general currency. For example I imagine we have zero chance of finding this in print. Please check out WT:CFI. Equinox ◑ 14:59, 21 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response, and I understand the policy. But I will send you at least one if not three references and published books and articles that explain this nickname in print. I hope if I can demonstrate that it is in the lexicon that you will reconsider publishing it D P DIMaggio Jr. (talk) 15:04, 21 September 2019 (UTC)


 * BTW, I see has an article on Wikipedia. That may be a better place to try to preserve biographical information. Traditionally dictionaries deal in words, not people, though there can be a tiny bit of overlap. Equinox ◑ 15:08, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
