endotoxin etc.
I don't think toxin is a suffix. Could you explain these changes? Equinox ◑ 21:25, 16 August 2016 (UTC)


 * There are several words for which toxin is the latter half of the compound, and the first half is a root, e.g. neurotoxin, picrotoxin and myotoxin. Additionally, picrotoxin was already defined as having -toxin as a suffix and there is a Category for it. Category:English words suffixed with -toxin EI at10s (talk) 21:30, 16 August 2016 (UTC)


 * The latter half of a compound explicitly isn't a suffix, though: jamjar doesn't make -jar a suffix, does it? The picrotoxin etymology you mention may just be an error. I have started a discussion here: Tea_room/2016/August. Equinox ◑ 16:59, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

External links spelling
Hi, please spell it External links, not External Links, because this is how it is done in every other article. Thanks! Yurivict (talk) 17:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

microchip was a trademark?
Do you know whose? Equinox ◑ 22:18, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It appears to be a corporate trademark of a company called : EI at10s (talk) 22:20, 9 September 2016 (UTC)


 * was founded in 1989; the word must be older than that. I don't think the trademarks they are trying to protect include the word "microchip" for a processor, so it's apparently not appropriate to call that word a genericised trademark. I'll remove it. Equinox ◑ 00:42, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Divination words
There are a ton of these that you can find in "word" lists and most of them were never used. Just because they were used once in Latin doesn't make them English. DTLHS (talk) 23:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm using a WP list, list. If there are references, would that constitute a good entry?
 * The only good references are uses in print (not mentions in word lists). DTLHS (talk) 23:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying. I'll stick to ones with print references, and utilize those. EI at10s (talk) 23:31, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * And note that something like this would be considered a mention of the word, not a use. Ideally we should find citations that don't just define the word. DTLHS (talk) 23:38, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
