Two quotations are at Citations:demouse; can we find third to meet WT:ATTEST? --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:37, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Cited, after a quick search using "Quiet Quentin" (possibly the most useful editing tool on Wiktionary! Kudos to whoever created it). Andrew Sheedy (talk) 09:04, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Verified. Also, I agree to your comment about Quiet Quentin to an extent. However, I'm not sure what algorithm QQ uses to retrieve sources. I have often found that a direct search at Google Books yields more results than what QQ produces. Google Books also allows you to select between results with previews and full views, and to filter the results by date (for example, it is possible to retrieve results from older works by selecting a date range such as 1 January 1200 to 31 December 1799). — SMUconlaw (talk) 13:15, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, QQ isn't ideal for in-depth searching, but for adding cites, it sure beats doing it manually (although it would be even better if it inserted stuff into templates). Andrew Sheedy (talk) 16:26, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Indeed. I wonder who is maintaining this tool? — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:51, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
