My last edit, on 28 November 2023, removed the Mivenue 'inline citation'[1], as it was a YouTube "online premier" example, rather than a supporting definitional article. However, now the definition has not 'inline citation' back-up. I have put a 'citation needed' warning. Please give me feedback on this edit and how it should proceed. Thanks in advance for the time taken to discuss.SMargan (talk) 09:03, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have discovered that there has been a reversion of one part of my prior edits that I made ("Premiere" -> "Première"). I did not think this was a big issue, however, it appears that this could be a major source of contention, i.e. should the English version ("premiere") or the French version ("première") be used throughout the article. Both versions are acceptable in the English language, as the French version ("première") has been co-opted in an unchanged form and is often used as an alternative form of the anglicized version ("premiere"). I have used the English version ("premiere") for two reasons. Firstly, I have used the English version ("premiere") as the Wikipedia article uses the English version ("Premiere") as its title, i.e. the subject that the Wikipedia article is about. If the French version was going to be used, the title of this Wikipedia article should also be changed ("Premiere" -> "Première"). Secondly, this is a Wikipedia article for English Wikipedia, not French Wikipedia, therefore, I intuitively feel that the fully anglicized version ("premiere") should be used in preference. Having said that, I am not married to the idea and can see some counter arguments. Please, let's have a discuss about this issue here. SMargan (talk) 23:10, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As both versions are acceptable in English, per WP:ENGVAR we shouldn't be switching them. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:05, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Nikkimaria - Apologies! I only just read this comment now! Thanks for responding, and sorry for the subsequent edits. I probably would not have made them if I had read your reply first, without first discussing the issue further here. Since writing my last comment, I switched the words back, and even deleted the French alternative version. This was because, none of the supporting dictionary 'inline citations' suggest that the duplicated French alternative ("première") is used in the English language (except Merrium, "less common"). I have added those 'inline citations' after the English word ("premiere") & deleted the French alternative ("première") for that reason. The French word ("première") still exists in the explanatory brackets after the English word ("premiere"). The French alternative should only be added if an "inline citation" can be found evidencing its alternative usage. Could you source an 'inline citation' supporting the alternative use of "première" in the English language? It would also be useful to have an additional 'inline citation' that supported its use in preference to the fully anglicized version ("premiere"). SMargan (talk) 04:48, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
