Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery

It isn’t the most flattering thing to include in Residents > In fiction, but it’s noteworthy that Shirley Jackson’s iconic short fiction was written about a fictional town in her home state of Vermont… Jayske (talk) 13:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Spelling of Francophone

I edited Francophone to be capitalized, as this is accepted in most dictionaries and encyclopedias, including Wikipedia and Wiktionary (see, for example, Wikipedia entry "Francophone Candadians"). This was reverted before based on only one dictionary. If you're going to revert a correction, please make it consistent with usage in Wikipedia and related wikis, and based on more than a single source. Desmond Ravenstone (talk) 18:41, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

I see that the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, Oxford online learner's dictionary and the Cambridge online dictionary use lower case but the the Britannica online dictionary, Dictionary.com and Collins online dictionary uses upper case. It seems evenly divided to me. Also, the "Vermont" article uses American spelling and Merriam-Webster is often considered the most prestigious American dictionary.

Wikipedia and Wiktionary are not reliable sources so no weight should be accorded to what they say, other than to be consistent within this article. Jc3s5h (talk) 18:58, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
