Ernie Smith writes        There is an Afrocentiric view of the world and there is a non Afrocentric view  As defined by Robert Williams the word Ebonics posits an Afrocentric view relative the origin and historical development of the language of descendants of enslaved Africans in America and throughout the diaspora  The view that the language of descendants enslaved Africans in America and throughout the diaspora is a dialect of English or some other European language is a non Afrocentric view and it has nothing to do with Ebonics  The counterfeiters and plagiarizers that have for years attempted to filch the word Ebonics and with the intent to deceive used the word Ebonics as a synonym for BE AAVE and other such appellations clearly have Hoary confused See Smith  and Smith and Crozier    In the About Wikipedia section on the main page of  Wikipedia we are told the following as the etymological origin or genesis of the word Wikipedia  Wikipedia pronounced wkpidi WIKiPEEdee is a multilingual webbased freecontent encyclopedia project based on an openlyeditable model The name Wikipedia is a portmanteau of the words wiki a technology for creating collaborative websites from the Hawaiian word wiki meaning quick and encyclopedia Wikipedias articles provide links to guide the user to related pages with additional information  Now just as the word Ebonics is a is portmanteau of the words ebony and phonics the word or name Wikipedia is portmanteau of the words wiki and encyclopedia  According to the About Wikikpedia section the word or name Wikipedia is from the Hawaiian word wiki meaning quick not the word wickyapi an Algonquian Indian language from which the word wickiup is derived  Thus the word Wikipedia is not derived from the Algonquian Indian word wikiyapi and it origin has nothing to do with the wordwickiup that means a hut used by nomadic Indians of the arid regions of the western and southwestern US see Websters Collegiate Dictionary   As defined by its author the word or name Wikipedia is not a portmanteau of the word wicked and pedophile and it has noting to do with wicked pedophiles  User Hoary thinks it is allright to encompass meanings for the word Wikipedia that the founders of Wikipdeia never intended and defend the use of any and all counterfeit meanings on the web all over the world  I accept what is presented in quotes above as being the origin and true meaning of the name Wikipedia   I believe the meaning posited for Wikipedia above is the only authenthic meaning of word Wikipedia   I wonder how the authors originators of the name Wikipedia would feel if there were counterfeiters and plagiarizers going all over the world misrepresenting and outright misusing the name Wikipedia  Ernie Smith
