Help[Facts] Re: Additional Info About Girl Name, Jubilee...
in reply to a message by Sabertooth
"the whole reason for choosing this name"
Why people choose specific names is more opinion and taste than fact and etymology. If you are concerned about how people view the name, perhaps your information is better suited on the comments section of a name or on the opinions board.
"This name arises from the former, not the latter."
I challenge this. The research I have done shows that the etymology goes back further than the Hebrew use of the word and possibly means the latter over the former. Both suggestions are in the newly edited submission, however.
"If you had guidelines for submissions, like wikis do, I would gladly abide by them."
Just a sampling of the editor's guidelines, seen by editors on the admin portal:
"2.Don't be offended if your edits get overwritten."
Usages
"Each name has a set of usages associated with it. A usage describes who uses the name. It can be a language, a nationality, a culture, or something else. It is NOT necessarily the language of origin."
"2.Merge same-name submissions when necessary. Generally, you merge information into the older entry and delete the newer one (though if the newer entry is substantially better, it can be done the other way)."
"3.Correct submissions which contain incorrect information, superfluous information, poor formatting, or spelling/grammar errors."
Does that help you understand a little where I am coming from?
