Talk:Webster's Third New International Dictionary

Merger?

 * Main page for merger comments Talk:Webster's Dictionary

Today I decided to work on extensive revisions to Webster's Dictionary and in poking around found a stub at Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition and a longer article at Webster's Third New International Dictionary. It seems to me it would be best to consolidate the second and third material at Webster's Dictionary, because it is the familiar name and it would put the history of the work, which has appeared under several names in one spot; then put in redirects under the other names. Would anyone with comments please contact me on my talk page? PedanticallySpeaking 16:40, Oct 27, 2004 (UTC)

Recreated
I wonder if a new article is necessary. Last year I deleted what was here and consolidated the material at Webster's Dictionary. I see someone has recreated this article, however. PedanticallySpeaking 15:20, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it's okay to have a separate article, but if so, it should definitely be longer than the section at Webster's Dictionary. This should be the main article about Webster's Third, with just a brief summary at Webster's Dictionary. Or else this should be re-merged there and the redirect re-created. --Angr/undefined 18:02, 27 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm for keeping it all with Webster's Dictionary. Unless someone plans major additions here, I'm going to redirect this to that article, as it was until a few weeks ago.  PedanticallySpeaking 20:44, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Re-re-created
This edition specifically has been the subject of two books and several articles, as well as being the most controversial dictionary of all time. Time for it to have its own article.&mdash; Chowbok  ☠  01:00, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
