Names and attributes must be accommodated to the essence of things, and not the essence to the names, since things come first and names afterwards.

[T]he maximum number of revisions an author made is 237,600 for the English Wiktionary (user "Equinox") ... As an anonymous reviewer points out, this "sounds as [sic] an incredibly high number of revisions for one single user".

About me
Hi. I've been on Wiktionary since mid-2006. I encounter books, newspapers, and everyday life.
Things to do, apart from adding words
- Why doesn't my headset work? I could record a zillion words. Try it on another PC. If it's super-quiet and broken even there, buy a new one.
- Ditto: deal with the initialisms and abbreviations that need a proper part of speech.
- Go through Special:WhatLinksHere/&c. and replace those prissy, attention-seeking "&c." links with "etc."
- Things not to do: finish my excellent desktop Wiktionary with loads of power-user shortcut keys, since templates change too fast and I would end up vandalising without knowing it. *cry*
