I saw your edit to this article, and wondered if perhaps this is wise. I'm not sure how Franque Dufner (I'm told that's how he spells his name, but have only met him once and the spelling of his name didn't come up in conversation) feels about his name being on Wikipedia. Do we need to have it in full?
Just a thought...
Oh, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Homage

Since the show is American, we would use "a", as "homage" is pronounced with the h-sound. Although it is used interchangably most often, the silent "h" comes from the originating source, France. It's kind of like spelling "characterization" (American) as "characterisation" (British). They are both correct, but we use "z" for American articles, and "s" for British articles (by articles I mean the topic is based in Britain, like any of the James Bond films).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 13:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I use it interchangably, myself...depending one what I'm saying. I don't think I've read anything that tackles every word that has multiple pronouciations, but the general style of writing would be based on the region the topic originates from, per WP:PRON. There is apparently a current debate going on for that page, so it may change. You could take a look if you have an opinion on how it should be pronounced (and thus written, since "a homage" and "an homage" are both correct based on how you pronounce it), or you could just see how the debate is going and maybe mention something they missed.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 16:29, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
They're both used. Kind of shows how it's used interchangably.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 16:43, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
