The problem here is tagging it as AAVE. "A citation showing older usage is relevant" relevant to what? Certainly not for tagging it as AAVE, since it is from an Irish book by an Irish author, with Irish characters, and doesn't mention or even allude to African Americans. — ''[[User:Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV|Ungoliant]] <sup>([[User Talk:Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV|Falai]])</sup>'' 19:57, 4 September 2012 (UTC) | | :::::::: Yes, the citation supports the definition, which is why no one removed it.

Their only purpose is to illustrate actual usage. '''RELEVANT TO O L D E R U S A G E''' which is why for example on the citations page we organize the cites by years to show change over time. AAVE is derivative of Irish, maybe you need to take some African American History classes, cause AAVE is Standard Southern American English that is highly influenced by Irish Gaelic, Irish English, in addition to Wolof, Igbo, Yoruba, and other Niger Conglo languages.[[User:Luciferwildcat|Lucifer]] ([[User talk:Luciferwildcat|talk]]) 20:05, 4 September 2012 (UTC) | | :::Citations are not added to represent the gloss or usage notes.

You are just looking for errors to be spiteful or something cause I don't understand your angle or your refusal to concede the lexical correlation between Irish and AAVE or why you are so obsessed about this one citation and how it doesn't do everything and have every bell and whistle, why don't you get constructive and add in additional citations? Also obviously the since you yourself admit the citation supports the definition what is the problem? The term birfday is predominately AAVE in this day and age. The irish usage is archaic. Get it right.[[User:Luciferwildcat|Lucifer]] ([[User talk:Luciferwildcat|talk]]) 20:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC) | | | :::::: Wow.
