message: Having glanced at this article my sense is that it needs a thorough scrub in the manner of The Story of Miss Moppet. I'll work my way, slowly, through the sources available on-line to verify and rewrite as necessary, and will also add more scholarly information from Humphrey Carpenter's book about Victorian children's literature with critical commentary. At a quick glance, I don't see a need for the repetitive information in the background section - I think the current production section can be called "Background and production". Also, I'd like to research the illustrations as Johnbod suggested in the GA review. Comments? Thoughts? Will this need another GA review when done, or can we simply invite the reviewer (Malleus) to have a look at the changes? Truthkeeper88 (talk) 21:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree and thank you for your work on this. I have Dubay and can work on Merchandise. I only added back the images that were in when it made GA. SInce Derwentwater is not mentioned in the book, I am not sure why there need to be two images of it here. Squirrel Nutkin, maybe. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 03:35, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, wondered if you still have Dubay. The organization doesn't follow the novels MoS at all, and much too much background. The information about the illustrations is lost, and I have more scholarly comments to add. If you don't mind, the Peter Rabbit cover might not make the cut, I'm really thinking that entire section has to go. I seem to be in a mood to reorganize articles, so I'll probably just start shoving text around, but won't get to it tomorrow. I finally have a free day tomorrow and it's too cold to do much else.

replies: text: Go ahead and cut it - I uploaded it for the The Tale of Peter Rabbit (and think it belongs there). I photographed Dubay for personal use when I had it via ILL. I wondered if other images from the book might work better in the article, but don't have any suggestions. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 04:06, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've cut, reorganized, and moved around the images. Not much more I can do until I have the biographical sources - except adding a bit to the criticism section. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 22:40, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The title is spelled "Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle" (capital W), but in the text the name is spelled "Mrs. Tiggy-winkle" (lower case w), which is how Potter spelled the name of the character and of her pet. Direct quotations should follow the capitalization of the source. The question I have is how to capitalize the name in the article when it is not a direct quote? My preference is to follow the title, but I can see using the Potter spelling too. I can even see using the lower case w spelling in the plot (as the book does) and capital W elsewhere. I have Taylor's 1986 and Lear's books from the library. Lear seems to refer to the book as TW and the character as Tw, while Taylor uses Tw for both. Thanks to Malleus for reverting my attempt to standardize the capitalization. What is the consensus for cpaitalization? Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 04:10, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought that was the way we had it (TW for the book and Tw for the character), but I see that there was some inconsistency particulary in the image captions. I think that's evidently the correct approach, and I'd even go so far as to suggest that we ought to change the quotation at the end of the Scholary commentaries to match.

replies: text: I completely missed this issue (not much of a detail person) so may have introduced some of the inconsistencies in the rewriting. I'll have a look, but TW for book and Tw for character is fine with me. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 22:24, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Why exactly is Lucie unsympathetic (and who is she considered unsympathetic by?)  Is there some neatnik editing this page who thinks she is hateful because she keeps losing things?  I will remove this material, and it should not be put part in the article unless someone can come up with substantial critical commentary backing up the claim that Lucie is widely considered unlikable.174.93.24.28 (talk) 15:54, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've commented it out. Either it's a remnant from an earlier version or the citation and attribution has been lost. Either way, until it's cited (and attributed) it shouldn't be there. Thanks for mentioning. Truthkeeper (talk) 02:20, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
