Recently deleted link edit

The following recently deleted link is moved here:

  • Langmaker.com, a regularly updated directory of over 1,100 invented languages and neographies.

According to the root link, http://www.langmaker.com, the Langmaker website has been "temporarily" disabled. It is moved here so that it may be checked from time to time to see if it has been re-enabled. Then it may be added back to the article. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 19:28, 14 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

It's interesting to note that the Langmaker site has been archived. The web archive is at:

Apparently, the wiki-ish website is down for the count. These archived pages are searchable and might still prove useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paine Ellsworth (talkcontribs) 00:15, 16 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Criticism edit

On Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Language a user criticized the definition of the term "neologism" and the category about it. I would like to respond to it here. As I understand it, the current definition of the term "neologism" means that the neologism was in the process of entering common use at the time stated. Of course, a neologism from the 1900s, for example, is no longer in the process of entering common use, but it is still a neologism of its time. In my opinion, it is perhaps unclear whether each term was in the process of entering common usage at the time it was coined, and therefore whether perhaps each lemma is a neologism from the time the term was coined. Perhaps even surnames? – Gebu (talk) 09:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
