I've seen this formulation in a
Wikipedia article
;
A first edition took place in July 2013. A second edition is scheduled for May 2015.
I would say:
the
first edition,
the
second edition.
But I am somewhat hesitant to make a grammatical correction, as I am not a native speaker.
Can somebody confirm whether the formulation in that article is (grammatically) correct?

@MartinSleziak I'm not a native speaker either, but I'm rather sure that
The
(or even
Its
) is better than
A first edition
.

@DamkerngT. Thanks for the confirmation.

Well thankfully the question asking about how to wipe selected people off the earth was deleted--especially after the edit.

@DamkerngT. What about
passive-and-active
? Would that be any better? —
