Wfy edit
The "Collins English Dictionary" search shows, at present, 68 results in article space. Most, I presume, should be wikilinked here. — Charles Stewart (talk) 21:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- Nice research, Charlie. Now, in 2012, that number has increased from 68 to 177 results. By all means, go to it. — O'Dea 06:19, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- It has now increased to 1366 results (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=%22Collins+English+Dictionary%22&fulltext=Search&ns0=1).Adamsamuelwilson (talk) 11:12, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Editions edit
(1/3) The main article suggests that the 14th Edition came out last year "was published on August 31, 2023", but suggests it has 200,000 entries, but the 14th Edition I see is advertising 732,000+ entries.
(3/3) I'm wondering if there are two series from Collins called `English Dictionary`, for this issue? (talk)
