Talk:to-come

RFV discussion: September–October 2019
Are there three cites available in Modern English? There is apparently one from Shelley's "Hellas", which would be OK if unambiguously supporting the definition [as it seems to IMHO]. DCDuring (talk) 17:16, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I've added a few. Not sure if there is any double referencing to an earlier work by Jacques Derrida, but I've tried to limit this to just one. Leasnam (talk) 20:44, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * We have a separate entry for to come. It would be nice to have more context or a pagelink to determine the meaning in the to-come citations. DCDuring (talk) 01:02, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That page only has as an adjective. More context can be added, as I did pre-read several sentences leading up to the use in order to make sure they fit the sense. But for space's-sake I've learnt no pare the citations down just to the relevant pieces. I can go back and add more. Leasnam (talk) 01:31, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the noun citations for to come now in [[to-come]] should be in a noun PoS at [[to come]]. In the meantime, I have commented them out.
 * The pageurl parameter in our citation templates provides more context (all that Google provides) without taking up more screen space.
 * The Shelley citation seems clearly to do the with the future in general. I can't tell what definition is involved in some of the other citations, either of the to come or the to-come. What's more I find myself becoming nauseous trying. I leave the defining to those with stronger stomachs. DCDuring (talk) 02:02, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, I was able to find a few new citations rather easily for the spelling "to-come" that I feel clearly mean "future". I've added these at that sense. Leasnam (talk) 02:03, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "What's more I find myself becoming nauseous trying" - I wholeheartedly agree with you there ! My head hurts after reading those. Perhaps we may be able to enlist who is highly skilled in making heads or tails of things ! Leasnam (talk) 02:06, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I've added a couple FEW more. I'm actually surprised at how easy a time I'm having at finding these, as I did not expect to find nearly this many. One TWO I've just added appear s as "tocome" (2015, TL Wolf; 1870, J. Payn), no hyphen, but we don't have an English for it, so I've added tocome to the Alternative forms. Leasnam (talk) 02:38, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Why don't you create the English L2 for tocome instead of cluttering up [[to-come]] with citations that don't belong there? Why don't you add the pageurl so that I don't have to do it myself? DCDuring (talk) 04:29, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll do both. Leasnam (talk) 04:36, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * is it pageurl= or url= ? pageurl doesn't show a link, so I've used url for now Leasnam (talk) 04:48, 23 September 2019 (UTC) I got it. Leasnam (talk) 05:15, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Why did you call my satanic name, Leasnam? I still often find myself annoyed by Leasnam entries that suggest that ancient long-dead words are either (i) generally current or (ii) current in some mysterious "UK/Scotland dialect". I think you need a trip to the UK. Equinox ◑ 22:35, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Cool tool, isn't it? And thanks. DCDuring (talk) 13:54, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, very useful ! Leasnam (talk) 16:26, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
