Talk:летняя спячка

Is this really idiomatic? It seems to be stretching towards SOP to me... —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:08, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

To me it's not SoP. It's defined in English-Russian dictionaries. Like hibernation/(a)estivation, the same terms are also words in Russian. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 04:45, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't think that bilingual dictionaries are a great judge, because they often list unidiomatic translations in one language to accomodate the fact that different languages cover different vocabulary. We can get around that with {{t-SOP}}. The real question to me is whether somebody would see this in a Russian text and not know what it means, and think to look it up. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:53, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Could you start with entries like winter solstice/summer solstice instead and let this one be? I believe that people may not not understand what it means and may think to look it up. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:19, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Look at it this way: I'm not going to RFD it :) I just think it's borderline. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:19, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

It's subtle and I'm not going to create obvious SoP's. I'm also trying to break up some translations into separate words (it's just easier to add them as one word, see restitution#Translations. I think this term (летняя спячка) is important, so I have created it. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:40, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

OK. By the way, you should really convince Semper to write bot code for inflected forms in Russian. (Or I should learn how to run a bot. But the first option is more likely.) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:44, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

There's always a lot to do. Thanks, I'll consider this. Are there an existing bot for another language I could look at? --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:06, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Yeah; see User:MewBot#Source code. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 00:16, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
