Wiktionary

Wiktionary is a sister project to Wikipedia intended to be a free wiki dictionary (including thesaurus and lexicon) in every language. It was set up on December 12, 2002 following a proposal by Daniel Alston. On March 29, 2004 the first non-English Wiktionaries were initiated in French and Polish.

A quality control system was established to delete hateful or inaccurate definitions. Originally, a user that objected to a definition could submit a complaint. Deletion requests were added to a pool that was reviewed by users who choose whether "it stays", "it goes" or "don't know". However, the site's management did not believe that this concept was working. Many users recommended definitions of users based on whether they approved of its tone or the opinions expressed. As a result, this system was abandoned. Under the new deletion policy, registered users ...

Ojibwe, like many American languages, is polysynthetic, meaning it exhibits a great deal of synthesis and a very high morpheme-to-word ratio (e.g., the single word for "they are Chinese" is aniibiishaabookewininiiwiwag, which contains seven morphemes: elm-PEJORATIVE-liquid-make-man-be-PLURAL, or approximately "they are leaf-soup [i.e., tea] makers"). It is agglutinating, and thus builds up words by stringing morpheme after morpheme together, rather than having several affixes which carr ...
