On the other side it's not necessarily a good thing not to be enough ... I must admit I'm disturbed by this name when I read it. But I like the tool. We had arguments on whether or not using it on frwiki, I'm surprised this has not been raised as a bad faith argument against its usage, actually. I wonder if this could have been an uncountious influencer for community ... Le 14 sept. 2015 05:48, "Gerard Meijssen" <gerard.meijssen(a)gmail.com> a écrit :

It's odd to say Magnus doesn't put enough consideration into names: he created hundreds of tools yet he always manages to come up with a name which is both descriptive and/or a pun; I have no idea how! As for bacteria, I hope they don't become a prohibited reference: it's their nature to be both necessary to life and sometimes very negative. As for the specific term, lister* is even the name of some widely distributed commercial products so I doubt it's offensive to many. Nemo

sounds like a good title for a provenance tool to use on artworks from the WWII collection of the Führermuseum, since most of those seem to have ended up in the states anyway On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 5:27 PM, Magnus Manske <magnusmanske(a)googlemail.com> wrote:

I hate the term "non functional requirement" but most people would pigeonhole this extract problem. It does reach extremes and if a system is at bat enough it will strike out badly some times. Having a sense of what could be offensive is a part of social skills and it is an essential skill for intelligent systems. Why not "Lister" or "Listerine™?" these are based on the same root and don't trigger quite the same "A=A" reaction that Listeria does.

I think that we don't have to invoke PC every time we're talking of a not so happy choice of name. (I can't help answering but this will be my last message on this topic) Le 14 sept. 2015 10:53, "Magnus Manske" &lt;magnusmanske(a)googlemail.com&gt; a écrit :
