message: Should we include details of the film here, or have a separate article ? -- Beardo 08:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: seperate. Its a different thing, plus it needs a lot of space for whoever writes the article to fit in the laughing at how retarted that one scene where ethan and mattie sled down the hill at 2 miles an hour and then somehow get hurt. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.122.93.108 (talk) 03:43, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:   If you're going to criticize a novel as "retarded", learn how to spell the word and what it means: it's an illness, not a synonym for "stupidity".  It doesn't help your credibility as a critic when you misuse a single word twice.  2001:558:6011:1:1CA0:8880:2F90:A2F5 (talk) 05:55, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Josh, please discontinue vandalising this page. Everytime you vandalise a page, someone has to go out of their way to revert the page in question. This sort of behaviour is unacceptable when we are trying to make this a reliable encyclopedic source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.171.41.223 (talk) 22:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Are references just when the book is mentioned on TV or in other books and stuff? Because Regina Spektor mentions the book in her song, "2.99 Cent Blues," but I'm not sure if I should add it. Should I? MusicEqualsLife (talk) 18:43, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the "References" section several times because it's unencyclopdic.  Unless the information is pertinent to the subject matter, it does not belong in the article.  María (habla conmigo) 00:36, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Plot changes 3/5/10

message: I have marked the Symbolism and Themes sections as consisting of original research. Wikipedia is not the place for people to share their opinions of what literary works mean. If no one has added reliable citations to support the opinions expressed in those sections within a reasonable time, like a month or so, I plan to remove those two sections entirely.  By reliable citations I mean analyses of Ethan Frome from published academic or other reputable sources, not blogs and not simply references to specific passages in Ethan Frome itself that seem to support the opinions.--Jim10701 (talk) 20:21, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Symbolism and Themes are original research 

message: I read the Novels Project page and didn't see any guidance on this, so maybe I'm out of line, but I'm really surprised to see the ending described in the plot summary. Is that usual practice? (If so, I'll remember NOT to look at the Wikipedia article for any book I have not already read!) 
Thanks. Regina Terrae (talk) 18:38, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot spoilers?  

message: This entire section is unreferenced and mostly subjective. Who the says, "The novel is all the more remarkable for its forbidden impressions ..."? It's long past July 2011, the date given in the "original research" tag. Therefore I nominate this section for immediate deletion. Please allow me also to suggest that those opposed provide the necessary references or otherwise make your case for retention. Cheers and Happy Holidays to all!!
