  • The Swiss newspaper 24 heures reports on a court case in which Wiktionary was called upon because it was the only dictionary to offer a definition for a problematic term. At the time of the first judgment the court had to determine whether the term used by the accused was a racist insult and relied solely on the definition given in Wiktionary. On appeal, the Federal Court pointed out that “Wiktionary has no official status and its definitions are open to modifications”. An entirely correct analysis and especially true in this case, since the page in question doesn't yet have any usage examples that could help identify the context in which the term is used. The case was transferred to the Cantonal Court of Vaud.
