Talk:Charlotte's Web

message: I removed the follwing vandalism: this guy cant spell haha
"It should be noted that before being published, the book came under heavy fire for its anti-Semetic and anti-African American tones. In fact, Tempelton the rat claimed on page seventy nine: "The farmer is a filthy Jew who won't eat you anyway, Wilbur. It's true", and was also portrayed as a smooth talking black man in the body of a rat, who was often called "nigger" and treated unfairly by the other animals. The book was not allowed on the shelves in most bookstores and was kept in a brown paper bag in the ones that did carry it. Later, the book was edited due to poor sellings, but author I. B. Blight would claim until his death that the black man was constantly trying to keep him down." 66.102.74.46 08:23, 8 June 2005 (UTC)

message: I haven't read the book in years, so I'm certainly not qualified to do it, but someone who's more familiar with the story should write up at least a one-sentence description for each character. At the moment it's just a list. DearPrudence 04:36, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this article mention the references from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events to Charlotte's Web?  189.30.4.18 (talk) 00:00, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, those references belong on the Series of Unfortunate Events page; not this one. Carl.bunderson (talk) 23:30, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm going through some WikiProject Children's literature articles and I noticed that this article was rated High-importance. However, I think that it should be Top-importance, as it's a classic in children's literature. Any comments? Mr. Absurd (talk) 04:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Makes sense to me.  The article needs a lot of work.  I think it needs some indication beyond sales figures of its central place in American children's literature.  I tried to add something with the Welty quote, but it deserves some commentary on its style and structure.  I had some of what I'm talking about in there a long time ago, but it was just "something I read somewhere" and it's long since been removed as OR.  But there must be sources that can be cited with some reasonable commentary.  Anyone? Mark Foskey (talk) 03:03, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I've removed the section listing the translations of the title. I think it is sufficient to mention it was translated into many other languages, readers of this article aren't going to care what the title is in every language on earth, and this section was just adding unneeded clutter.

message: Please note that this article's infobox is retrieving an ISBN from Wikidata currently. This is the result of a change made to  as a result of  this RfC. It would be appreciated if an editor took some time to review this ISBN to ensure it is appropriate for the infobox. If it is not, you could consider either correcting the ISBN on Wikidata (preferred) or introducing a blank ISBN parameter in the infobox to block the retrieval from Wikidata. If you do review the ISBN, please respond here so other editors don't duplicate your work.

message: Myself and a partner are planning on adding a Themes section to this page, since one is currently missing. We have already found 3 themes so far in our research, but may or may not find more to include. I will include a list of our sources below once I have them compiled. --Amentis16 (talk) 19:19, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Creating a Themes Section 

message: After having added a Themes section, the article's lead needs to have a summary of that info added to it since the lead is supposed to encompass everything that is included in the article. Also, the article still needs some copy edits to be completed to fix some grammar and sentence structure mistakes here and there, as well as statements that seem opinionated and not neutral. If anyone found more themes they could even add to that! Overall, there is nothing major that is still missing in the article and anyone can continue to contribute to the article and edit it in the future if they so choose. :) --Amentis16 (talk) 18:52, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
