Quotation[edit]

@J3133: Third quotation ("Is the migration of individuals the chicken or egg of regional development?") is dubious since it's (fatuously) asking whether the migration of individuals is the chicken, or rather the egg, in relation to regional development, and not whether migration by itself is a "chicken or egg" case. The others look good. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 18:14, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Al-Muqanna: Even if the uses are attributive I would keep a link from the form with “or” if the other entries with “or” (chicken-or-egg question) are merged/redirected per the Tea room discussion. J3133 (talk) 18:16, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
@J3133: I agree, just quibbling about the applicability of this specific quotation since the gloss doesn't apply to it. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 18:17, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also, you are correct; I have removed the third quotation. J3133 (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
