Note WT:RFV#Special:Contributions/Nemzag. I have gone through all of Nemzag's mainspace edits; most have been verified or corrected by other knowledgeable editors. A minority had never been edited by other editors, or had been edited but still seemed to me to have problems. In about half of those cases, I was able to verify or correct the information myself. Here, I list all of the words I could not verify myself. I'd prefer the input of knowledgeable editors to actual citations (but conferred with other editors and decided RFV was the best venue). — Beobach 01:03, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

- Webster's apparently recent Albanian-English thesaurus has njeri as "person, human". Can we verify the pronunciation? Is the conjugation alright? What about njer? — Beobach 20:16, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
- mmm, doesn't Webster usually take its data from other sources, like Wiktionary? I know I've googled some terms and it found one source and then one of those Webster books with the exact same content. -- Prince Kassad 10:13, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
- Webster's hasn't referred to any one company since the 19th century; see [w:Webster's_Dictionary#The_name_Webster_used_by_others]. This data is from [1]; given that the word of the day is a link to a Youtube clip that embeds "LORN (adj): Lost, undone, ruined" with a bunch of unlinguistic junk, it doesn't impress me as a quality site.--Prosfilaes 17:20, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

- Njeri seems to be valid; it is common on Google Books, and is in other Wiktionaries; I have added a reference and a quotation and struck it. Njer is in some works as well, including a reference (Orel) I have added. I have made it a soft redirect to njeri, and struck it. PS, we're missing an ablative plural in the declension of njeri. - -sche (discuss) 17:48, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
