Talk:English Wordbook

Policy on Adding New Entries
Please follow the format overleaf. Currently, attested words go first (The Oxford English Dictionary is the (moreorless) final wtiness to attestation), goign from most ordinary to least, and these are then followed by standard words listed in a non-standard way, and trailed by all made-up/unattested words. Words who existance is implied in other words are taken to be attested (for instance, in "real" English, "peddle" was a backformation from "peddlar". If it weren't a Latinish word, we would assume "decite" existed on the basis of "incite").

Policy On Taking Out Entries
Before remooving an entry (unless it is a patently absurd entry), one should bring it up either on the main talk leaf, or (better) the talkleaf for that letter. That a word in the wordbook has in it a root (or toots) of non-Germanic birth is NOT enuff to warrant its outtaking from the list. If the word really is the best/simplest word for a concept, or the hue of meaning it has is useful, then either do not outtake the word, or bring it up in the chatleaf.
