Talk:Kate DiCamillo

message: The last sentence in paragraph two of Personal life reads: Her brother, Curt DiCamillo, is a noted architectural artifact. This seems to be grammatically incorrect as a person cannot be an artifact.
Also, "Newbery" is spelled wrong in the first paragraph.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.106.94.136 (talk) 16:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I was rather upset at how little scholarly analysis of her work I could find, especially compared to some of the other children's lit I've looked at... If you find anything please do let me know.Thanks for taking a look, I'll go through and respond as I can find the time! Eddie891  Talk Work  01:03, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  I had a look and you're right—there are reviews in scholarly journals of plenty of her books but none of the broader-brush criticism I was expecting. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 05:59, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

message: These basic biographical details are always surprisingly hard to track down:
* "Katrina Elizabeth DiCamillo" is also attested here, which looks like a bio for young readers, but I see no reason not to trust it (pace the typo reproduced below). But I don't see it in that many other places.
** I agree, I asked on the ref desk/H, and nobody found much else attesting to it. But no real reason to doubt it, either. Kinda strange. I can definitely imagine a kids book author checking Wikipedia/Britannica and mindlessly repeating what they saw there... Eddie891  Talk Work  01:17, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps I will message her via twitter or similar and ask for clarification-- then we can have a better idea of what to trust, even though it of course wouldn't be acceptable as a source here. Eddie891  Talk Work  01:17, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, no tweets... perhaps via somewhere else... Eddie891  Talk Work  01:17, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Sometimes authority file entries such as those at  can be useful, but my initial look at those (sometimes the Library of Congress ones will indicate that one of their staffers called the writer and got them to confirm stuff) didn't reveal anything we didn't know already. Short of OR-lite on FamilySearch or similar, I don't know what else to suggest. One could always write " ... was born in or near Philadelphia" with an  to explain further. AleatoryPonderings (???)
