 * It seems this has since been fixed. (story is listed as an alternative spelling of storey.) - excarnateSojourner (talk|contrib) 07:07, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Unclear distinction between two of the senses
I'm a little puzzled by the relationship between sense 1: "A sequence of real or fictional events; or, an account of such a sequence. (synonym: tome)" ...and sense 5: "A sequence of events, or a situation, such as might be related in an account. (synonym: narrative)"

For context, the latter was added in 2011 by, when the first meaning was narrower in meaning:

"An account of real or fictional events."

Some time later (in 2012), the first meaning got expanded to be more specific, by :

"A sequence of real or fictional causal events. A Narrative would be an account of or the 'telling' of a story."

But it was edited a few minutes after, again by, to a phrasing almost identical to the current one:

"A sequence of real or fictional causal events; or, an account of such a sequence."

(The "causal" got removed a while later by, yielding the current wording.) Can someone help clarify the distinction between the two?

 * Thanks for raising this. I clearly messed up — I should have reverted Wikimanisan's edit, since the "sequence of events" sense was already covered separately. Presumably I didn't remember that it was. —Ruakh TALK 01:54, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks for confirming! I will make that change, then. Waldyrious (talk) 04:37, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
