swot
It's "sweat" as in "he's always sweating over his homework". Please stop adding your unsubstantiated ety to the page. The word is much, much older than the 1970s. Equinox ◑ 14:33, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

A) Never said it was only 1970s. What was said, and it is important to note, that the confusion now, here, is amusing given that the people writing this false definition could have simply asked those who use it in the oldest academic institutions in the UK. B) Wikitionary as a mirror for the Webster or OED: Why do we need Wikitionary? Refresh my memory. Malangthon 14:51, 30 November 2011 (UTC) 8:49, 30 November, 2011 (CST)


 * Duh, it's not a mirror. I'm just showing you scholarship supporting the sweat ety. As for the claim that students don't literally sweat in winter, (i) people aren't only swots in winter! and (ii) "sweat" for hard work can be figurative. Equinox ◑ 14:52, 30 November 2011 (UTC)


 * The 'duh" seals it. Simply quoting other sources makes this a mirror - yes, it does. Answer the question - what then is the use or relevance of this work here?


 * This failure to address the very real and very important distinction is yet another lovely example of why this has so very little value in the real world. Please leave and let those of us who are concerned for credibility do this. Meanwhile, you may present this purported scholarship of which you are privy. Malangthon 14:57, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * @Malangthon, I supposed you don't want coup d'état to say "from French"as the OED says the same thing. What shall we say then? From Dutch? From Cherokee? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * When I see your actual scholarship, rather than "I heard this once at a conference in the 1970s", I'll be delighted to dispute it. Until then, stick it up your arse. Equinox ◑ 22:08, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Malangthon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Malangthon~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
