Articles in the English Wikipedia should not require capabilities in other languages to be understood!
If foreign language is used (in this case I presume it is French) – for instance as titles of published works beeing discussed – then an english direct translation should be provided at the spot! (I.e. not just the English title used on eventual corresponding English editions of the work in question, but a direct translation of what the foreingn words mean.)
In the
current introduction to this article, the following two appears without any translation:
«La jeune américaine, et les contes marins» and: «Magasin des enfants, ou dialogues entre une sage gouvernante et plusieurs de ses élèves»
It is not satisfactory to just brush this off with: "Oh, that is just a title of a book (which never got published in english)"!
The reader will want to know what it says and what it means including explanation of any
idioms and so forth!
I feel confident that this must be stated in the wikipedia guidelines somewhere: ("English Wikipedia is not for polyglots only!. Therefore keep its content 100% accessible for English(only) speakers!").
Could someone please add tiny translations for the french-worded parts in this article? 89.9.144.46 ( talk) 17:52, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Is there any reference that clear states or refers The Pig King is a variant or adaption of Beauty and the Beast? Or I will move it into "See also" section. -- TX55 TALK 18:49, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Does anyone know why the title would be "Beauty and the Beast" rather than "The Beauty and the Beast"? The original French has the definite article, and dropping it in English would seem to defy grammatical convention. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 00:37, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
The only thing found to the support the Super Mario universe idea is this theory. [ [1]]

The article is a bit confusing, I assume the first paragraph on the Villeneuve's version accidentally contains some facts that only apply to Beaumont's version. Having read neither, I cannot edit to clear it up, only point out the discrepancies:

I wasn't sure of the best way to edit this, so maybe someone with more experience can help. But I accidentally clicked on the original link for reference 1 instead of the archive, and the original link now sends you to a page with a pornographic image at the top. Is there a good way to remove the original link?
"like in Beaumont's version, it is not mentioned that the protagonist's sisters are punished at the end. " Nothing in the section on Beaumont mentions any punishment. 84.71.45.82 ( talk) 16:32, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Hello
The Villeneuve's plot section is false, perhaps a movie adaptation plot, or Vandalism. Last good Villeneuve's plot is 14 July 2020 , heavily altered by User:Harry Vallet : [see here https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Beauty_and_the_Beast&type=revision&diff=970115033&oldid=967697656 ].
You can read real Villeneuve plot at de.wiki or it.wiki
