message: The correct version of the title is The Wives of Henry VIII. That's what my copy's called, and that's how it's given on the book's page on LibraryThing. If The Six Wives of Henry VIII is indeed an alternate title, feel free to add it back, but as an additional title identified as an alternative.  — AnnaKucsma   (Talk to me!) 18:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: See editions discussed in the following Books and Collectibles site: The Wives of Henry VIII, and also Books and Collectibles site: The Six Wives of Henry VIII, both of which list several of the UK editions; the American ed. followed the first hardback ed. published first in UK. --NYScholar (talk) 11:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

message: In some social circumstances, Antonia Fraser uses her married name "Antonia Pinter".  This has been wrongly phrased, 'Fraser' is also her married name.--JO 24 (talk) 06:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

message: 'Correcting those who notice only her physical beauty – remarked upon both in her youth and well into her seventh decade – some readers and audience members of her talks have stressed that she is "more than just a pretty face" but actually an accomplished historian and "an intellectual".' Horray! This is the kind of ringing prose that graces the pages of the Sunday Telegraph's colour supplement. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 23:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ringing Prose 

message: *"Antonia Fraser" – Biography featured in "Participating Authors",  conference on "Real Lives: Exploring Memoir and Biography", The Shakespeare & Company Literary Festival: festivalandco.com, 13 – 15 June 2008, Paris, France.
Can't find the biography there.  Perhaps something has changed at the site; or perhaps she appeared as a "participating author" in a different year: see Participating authors sec., where I do not see a biography of Lady Antonia Fraser.  Until it can be verified moving this item here for further investigation.  One of her daughters appears to be featured elsewhere on the site (maiden name: Natasha Fraser/Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni [author of a biography of Sam Spiegel; perhaps she took her mother's place]): see the program links. --NYScholar (talk) 00:49, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Removed this for reasons that are presumably self-evident.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.157.224.14 (talk) 18:32, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Missing category

message: Why is this woman described as Anglo-Irish? Even by the typical standards of wikipedia in defining nationality with illogical inconsistancies, the definition of this woman's nationality is bewildering to say the least. Her father was protestant Anglo-Irish, her mother English, and she herself was born in England. Why, therefore, is she not defined as English or even British? Does she have dual nationality?
It really is about time this organisation was getting its act together in laying down strict guidelines on this issue and others relating to ethnicity categories. If no measures are taken to implement such vital changes, which might go some way in improving the reputation of this database as one worthy of credit, then one can only draw the reasonable conclusion that such indifference to improvement can only be attributed to either downright ineptitude or something even more serious, such as a sinister hidden agenda.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.78.245.2 (talk) 06:22, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
