Talk:Lex lata

Intended Additions
Hello, all. For this article, I plan to add two additional/alternate translations of lex lata, include the literal translation of lex lata, and add the simple translation of lex ferenda to prevent readers from having to visit a separate page. I'm going to add that there is a term that can be compared to lex lata aside from de lege lata, and cite it from a book titled Guide to Latin in International Law, which contains a one of lex lata 's alternate translation as well as hundreds of other Latin terms. I intend to add a citation from Oxford Reference, from which readers can find one of the alternate translations and a journal with other legal terms. Lastly, I need to check the rules on this, so I may not go through with it--but I plan to cite Wiktionary, since the translation of lex lata on the Wiktionary page is noticeably different than the current translation on this page.

 * I have included the translation of lex lata that reads "the law as it is." However, this translation stems from Wiktionary, and I've been unable to find an answer regarding whether or not we are permitted to cite Wiktionary articles. I will look further into the matter on Monday and if I find that Wiktionary citations are not permitted, I will get rid of that translation. Also, this will not be my last edit to the article; I'm hoping to find more on the term's history. JMarie1784 (talk) 20:45, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The updated that I just added should be my last major edit. I found out that Wiktionary cannot be used as a source, so I swapped "the law as it is" for another translation of lex lata from Oxford Reference. The biggest change I made was adding a heading to the article, along with information from my 6th (and most likely, final) source. JMarie1784 (talk) 21:14, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
