I reverted your edit to arpagic because you gutted the entry based solely on a discussion on another wiki. Given that the DEX entry linked in the entry refers specifically to Allium schoenoprasum and the image is definitely that of the same species (I've been growing chives for 50 years, and I know what they look like), I don't see how you can justify that. Of course, it may refer to other species, as well. At any rate, if you want to challenge a Romanian definition here, you tag it with ro and post it at WT:RFVN. If there's no usage for that meaning, it will be deleted. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:25, 17 April 2023 (UTC)


 * First, thank you for the welcome and for explaining your actions. Explanations are much appreciated. Second, it is not that Allium schoenoprasum is chives, there is no question about that (I grow them too, btw). The problem is that in Romanian we have a different word for chives: ceapă perenă pitică, ceapă pitică, cepșoară, civetă, ceapă de tuns, harpagică, sibulet (see the page discussion). The word 'Arpagic ' refers to onion (Allium cepa) starter bulbs. I am explaining in the discussion of the page right now. I am adding refs and primary sources and the whole 9 yards. Just give me an hour or maybe more :) It takes time. I also need to translate the discussion in both languages, since this is a linguistic problem that Romanian speakers who might not know English may want to contribute to. BTW, thanks for the links. I am, obviously, new to Wiktionary (thought not to Wikipedia) and I can use any help I can get. I may bother you in the future with questions. WikiUser70176 (talk) 13:45, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
