Talk:We Have Always Lived in the Castle

message: I don't think that the first paragraph of the plot summery should state that it is a flashback. Leave that until the end of the summary so if someone does miss it it isnt ruined for them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.227.112.20 (talk) 23:03, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spoiler 

message: Hi Cactus Wren. The words "A careful reading of the opening paragraphs..." are what I'm objecting to. Whose "careful reading" are we talking about? If the sentence is to be restored, it should have a citation naming this mysterious person doing the "careful reading." Those words certainly aren't "printed in the book." This book is, like most of literature, written in the past tense (it is a relatively new thing for fiction to be written in the present tense, and still rather unusual). That does not make the narrative a "flashback," which is a narrative device that interrupts the story to go back in time, in a book as in a film, e.g. to relate a memory relevant to the present moment in the narrative. This book is being narrated from some point in the future, as opposed to being narrated in the present time as the story unfolds, i.e. the past tense. If the usual past-tense style of this narrative is somehow exceptional, if indeed someone thinks or says it is, one should say why it is so exceptional as to be noteworthy. As far as I've always been able to tell, this book is written in the usual, commonplace past tense (and it certainly doesn't require a "careful reading" to arrive at that self-evident conclusion). The sentence is superfluous and a bit nonsensical, but if your point is that you want it to say it's written in the past tense, then just insert that fact into the opening sentence which could then read, "The novel, narrated in first person past tense by Mary Katherine ...". --TEHodson 09:16, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Really, this whole article could use some major help. The book is such a masterpiece, it would be good to make the article worthy of it. I'll think about how it can be improved.

thread_title:  "A careful reading"  

message: Citation 8 from the Guardian is used to verify the following: "Jackson freely admitted that the two young women in the story were liberally fictionalized versions of her own daughters, and Oppenheimer noted that Merricat and Constance were the "yin and yang of Shirley's own inner self"."
However, when following the citation to the Guardian, the article is only relevant to the "yin and yang" comment. I feel this citation is confusing, and a second one referencing Oppenheimer's Private Demons: The Life of Shirley Jackson in reference to her daughters to separate the two claims would make it more clear. 156.26.45.76 (talk) 19:57, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Audio synthesis

message: I redirected this to the synthesizer page, as it didn't really contain any information that was distinct from that on that page, and was a stub. Also it didn't link to the synthesiser page, making it appear that there was actually no information on synthesizers. Having a link from a stub to a large page on the same topic seemed somewhat strange.
To undo this one could just remove the redirection. The content is still visible if one edits the page

thread_title:  Other work section 

message: Just a warning that details of Calix's life have been in flux since Warp Records announced her death. The announcement included no mention of date of death, cause of death or her age at death. Some sources, like The Independent dubiously claimed in their article that she was 52 despite Warp providing no such information. The Guardian was more diligent in their reporting, acknowledging the lack of age in Warp's announcement. However, The Guardian has since updated their article with new information (presumably confirmed by a primary source) saying Calix was 51.
I also added a section referencing Mixmag which user  thankfully removed, which claimed her residence in Suffolk and marriage to Sean Booth of Autechre. The article has since been scrubbed of that information, which I again can only presume a primary source is responsible for.
Another piece of information is her year of birth, which most reliable sources indicate to be 1970, but some authority files seem to have historically listed as being 1969. That information has been repeated on Wikipedia, with the German and French Wikipedia pages for Calix still incorrectly listing 1969. Οἶδα (talk) 16:53, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Gambit (novel)

message: I'm completely with you, EEMeltonIV, on the redundancy of including the title of the book in the "Characters" section header. That's a pattern established by the novels project, though — it's part of the template.
:Characters in "~title of novel~"
:~Describe and possibly link to characters of novel.~
Having come across the rather cumbersome "Characters in [title of novel]" header when I first started editing the Wolfe book articles, I'd thought a far better header for that section would be "Cast of characters" — the charming way the characters are listed in the old The American Magazine printings of the Wolfe stories. I changed a couple of headers, and then discovered the novels project template while I was trying to figure out some edits that had been made to articles I'd worked on. 
I've tried to conform to the consensus opinion of that well-established group, so all of the Wolfe articles have sections headed "Characters in [title of novel]." I'd like to see the header trimmed, and it happens: the novels project has shortened its section title, "Film, TV or theatrical adaptations," to what I preferred, "Adaptations." For now, though, I think the headers should match across the board for all the Wolfe books. This one would be "Characters in Gambit" — but I've been putting the title in italics, not the quotation marks prescribed by the template.
If there's a consensus to change all of the Wolfe book article section headers to "Characters," it'll be my pleasure to change them; but, that being done, the novels project may just change them all back.
