Article deletion; citations

Can someöne please tell me what happened to this entry the first time round? Luckily, I had a personal copy of the definition I wrote (which I kept for pride’s sake), so it took very little hassle to “resurrect” it. However, I’m still a bit concerned to see definitions disappearing without warning. Doremítzwr 18:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi Doremítzwr.
As far as I can tell it was deleted by SemperBlotto on 07:03, 27 June 2006 because he/she thought it was "stupid".

Personally I'm intrigued by the word.
It's not listed in the OED, but I'd like to know its etymology. I noticed it throughout
B. F. RUTH; “'Studies in Filtration : III. Derivation of general filtration equations'”; Industrial and Engineering Chemistry; American Chemical Society; June 1935; 27 (6): pp. 708–723.
and I was curious about its origins, but so far haven't found much out!
The article should remain, in my opinion.

Inadequate means of analyzing a parabola when the origin of the coördinate axes is displaced from the vertex (i. e., septum resistance is no longer negligible).

QUOTE
Now it is evident that if the coördinate axes are so selected that there is extension or contraction of the element paralIel to the axes so as to introduce diagonal shear, the work of diagonal shear must be added to the work given in Equation 6.

Thanks. Those citations are helpful. However, we also need quoted text showing usage in context (preferably enough context to show what sense is intended thereby). If you could provide quotations, as well as, ideally, a link to the writ in question, then these could be added as citations to this entry. Thanks again.  (u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 15:09, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

The capacity for uncoördinated third-party contribution makes the PC and Internet highly generative, and we can thank it for the World Wide Web, instant messaging, blogging, Wikipedia, and even online shopping.

Can we have a template for this kind of spelling?

This isn't just an alternate spelling. It's a prætentious alternate system of spelling used by a few individuals and the New Yorker. There should be a template for these, perhaps linking to a brief explanation of what's going on here. There are shades of gray: naïve and naïvete are fairly common even outside the New Yorker, but anybody who writes whereäs is, with high confidence, the kind of person who also writes coördinate and coöperate and zoölogist. —Jorend 15:20, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
