It was changed on 21 April 2015, based on the rest of this Wikipedia article, where the Picardy third is defined as altering a minor triad to a major one by raising the third a semitone. The source itself, however, has not been verified. Does it really say a note is raised by an augmented unison (whole tone) and, if so, which chord member is it? If it is the third that is raised, is the root E-flat or E-natural?--> was first dubbed a 'Picardy third' (''tierce de Picarde'') in print by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1797 ... to express [the idea that] hopefulness might seem unremarkable, or even clichéd."<ref>James Bennighof, "The Words and Music of Joni Mitchell", Santa Barbara: Praeger, 2010.{{Page needed|date=August 2014}}</ref>
