The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

- Almost. There is a somewhat mention-y appearance in Chamber's Encyclopedia:
- 1892, The International Cyclopaedia: A Compendium of Human Knowledge, page 391:
- Glazed colored tiles, however, were called "galletyles."

- OED lemmatises at galley-tile. We have the same problem as at #forswonk - various different spellings are attested where potentially no one spelling has 3 available cites. This, that and the other (talk) 03:36, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- My suggestion to deal with such situations is that if there are at least two occurrences of a particular spelling that can be found and only one of the other variants, we use the predominant one. However, if no spelling predominates, we pick the one that most closely indicates the etymology of the term, while recognizing that this will be somewhat subjective. — Sgconlaw (talk) 05:06, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
