    I think Wikt is reaching far out on extension and losing touch with the primary meaning as in OED.

    I would say that most (i.e. >50%) of new visitors who do anything on Wikt are the ones who come and create a new term that is made up, either their local micro-slang, or something they've just made up alone, or some kind of promotional term related to their Web site.

    @RichStanton @combinehunter they're both fine. […] now the verb's in every dictionary I can find (OED, MW, AH, Wikt).

    Gouws and Søgaard (2015) + Panlex/Wikt is our reimplementation using Panlex/Wiktionary dictionary. All our models use Panlex as the dictionary. We reported the recall at 1 and 5. The best performance is bold.

    Wiktionary (WIKT) is a dictionary project which relies, just like Wikipedia, on the "wiki principle": any internet user can edit any entry and each change is published at once.
