message: The name Devil May Care has a huge resemblence to the name Devil May Cry. Should this be mentioned on the page. Skele (talk) 17:50, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

message: What exactly does 'Writing as Ian Fleming' mean? I'm assuming it's just a cheap phrase to sneak his name on the cover, but no-one can 'write as' another author, merely in the style of those particular novels of which this is a continuation. If anyone can clear the meaning of this up it will be appreciated! MathiasFox (talk) 11:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "in the style of those particular novels of which this is a continuation" is rather a long phrase to put on the cover, don't you think? :-) "Writing as Ian Fleming" is short and snappy, if not strictly accurate. It at least informs the potential reader that this novel is written in the style of Ian Fleming's Bond novels, rather than Faulks's usual style. 217.155.20.163 (talk) 12:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I just removed this as it seems to be a spamlink to me. Anyone have any thoughts? TheRetroGuy (talk) 18:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm still fairly new here and am still getting to grips with what is and what isn't spam. It seemed to have quite a lot of advertising on it, and like you say, the link had just been parachuted in. If it is ok though, looking at it more closely, I can see one or two articles that could be useful links. I'm about to log off for a few hours, but might have a go at adding them later. Thanks for your help. TheRetroGuy (talk) 12:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There's probably also a place for it at the James Bond article. TheRetroGuy (talk) 13:02, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Is it worth mentioning somewhere that Gorner wears a glove to conceal a birth abnormality that gave him a monkey's paw in place of fingers, and opposable thumbs. This becomes an important part of the plot in the latter part of the story. And, after all, Scaramanga's third nipple gets a mention. Paul Largo (talk) 12:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The closest wiki entry I can find is Ape hand deformity - but it's such a brief stub that Devil May Care actually provides a better description than the article itself.   a_man_alone (talk) 20:16, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Richard Chopping was the gay illustrator for the jackets of the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming from From Russia, with Love on.
It was this novel with perhaps the impact of the illustration upon the jacket that with the words of John F. Kennedy to levitate its reputation began the USA following of Bond.

would not wish to misrepresent the brand, the product, or memory of the beginnings of Bond.
SchroCat has the liberty to take out the original text of the essay
How to Write a Thriller, 1962, first published in an american magazine and republished in 1984 in the British 007 fan magazine.
The Choppng blog reprints facsimiles of the 7 pages from the 1984 fan magazine issue.

The editors of the blog would surely regard themselves as a reliable source.
We do not doubt SchroCat is acting in what he believes to be for the best representation of popular British culture in Wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurencebeck (talk • contribs) 10:13, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, the author read it. We already mention that fact. The background to the document is of tangential interest to this article, and while a footnote may be suitable to cover it's history, it doesn't really merit full mention in the main text. Either way, reliable sources are needed. - SchroCat (talk) 11:17, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
