2008 UTC I m highly amazed by the fact that this debate rages on If I may interject Aleta formed a subsection entitled Arbitrary Page Break Note using the word Arbitrary over say Random Are we going to throw a huge fuss over the inclusion of a more sophisticated word Sobriquet is quite clearly at least somewhat different from Nickname otherwise there would be only one article encompassing both words My suggestion is per a growing trend on Wikipedia Link sobriquet to a definition in Wiktionary should one exist This saves readers the hassle of going through an entire article trying to summarily grasp the full definition of one word within an article comprised of several thousand such words Furthermore if Wikipedia is meant to be an informal learning tool of sorts why fear incorporating a higher grade level vocabulary into it as a means of providing the best possible learning experience And if we have to dumb down a word here the same precedent would theoretically have to be set for the entire English Wikipedia thereby degrading the quality of articles As someone pointed out if readers can not grasp the lingusitics of the standard English wikipedia there s Simple English to cater to that need So that s my offer for a solution Dictionaries are as important of a resource as an encyclopedia and complement one another Get the information you want and if you don t know what a word means just look it up Alan 24 184 184 130 03 10 1 December
