Talk:The Maker of Moons (short story)

message: Needs more background.  About all we have is a plot summary.  RJFJR (talk) 15:32, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Needed

message: I have cleaned up the plot summary (I did not post the cleanup template), but it seems to me that whomever originally wrote this simply didn't understand the story on a very basic level.  In fact, the lead for the Yue Lao article has a clearer synopsis in a single paragraph than this entire article does. This article fails to connect the dots at all, missing the point that the creature in Godfrey's pocket is a servant of the Xin, which is itself an amorphous monster formed from many spirits made flesh. In fact it fails to explain in even the vaguest terms what the Xin is, or why the characters are horrified that Yue-Laou "brings it forth", whatever the heck that's supposed to mean. It also fails to give any weight to Barris' tale of artificial gold makers, who are later revealed to be the servants of Yue-Laou, and fails to give the slightest significance to the "Chinaman" that the narrator and others have seen in the woods who is actually Yue-Laou. In fact, the plot summary might as well not exist at all, for all the clarification it gives us.  It really needs to be completely rewritten by someone who has read the thing recently and understands it. 207.155.212.66 (talk) 23:03, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:And Four to Go

message: Consulting first editions, the last two edits to this article have brought another of Rex Stout's famous inconsistencies to light. In the FE printing of "Murder Is No Joke," Flora Gallant reaches into her bag and pulls out $100.

Talk:Ellis Carver

message: The article states that Carver was made head of the MCU at the end of Season 5. I've just been through the episode and it is no more than hinted at by Sydenor while trying to convince Judge Phelan to intercede on his behalf:
"If the major could find his ass with his hand he'd know we've got more than enough to be up on a pin register -- Lieutenant Carver told them so!" 1:22:21 of episode 10, season 5
Can't find any other evidence elsewhere.
I don't see this as being enough to say definitively that Carver is heading up MCU, and speculation isn't appropriate either, so I'm removing the statement. Arthur Holland (talk) 10:36, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

text: I was thinking that the chapter number be put in with its respective episode, but the list of chapters actually sounds better than what I was thinking. If the list of chapters has its own article, we can also have the literature references on the same article and save space on the episode list article. We can also keep track of the volumes and the coverslip stories on them. That would be a lot of work to accomplish.71.190.182.113 (talk) 01:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Three at Wolfe's Door

message: The Bantam paperback Three at Wolfe's Door gives, in Poison a la Carte, the spelling of the host's surname as Schriver -- in more than one place, so I doubt that it's an OCR problem. This Wiki article gives the spelling as Shriver, in the Adaptations section. A little research shows that sources such as IMDB also give the spelling as Shriver and I'll bet the current Wiki spelling came either from a source such as IMDB or possibly from the TV show's credits.
So, here is my submission for the most picayune problem of 2010: Should this article spell the name as it appears in the book, or as it presumably appears in the TV show's credits, given that the reference is in the Adaptations section? Or should it be footnoted? TurnerHodges (talk) 16:35, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, Bantam is blameless this time: the host's name is spelled Schriver in the first edition (page 4). The mistake actually occurs on the third page of the Goldberg-Rabkin script ("In Bad Taste") for the show. Since I entered the information, I'll correct the error in the Adaptations section. — WFinch (talk) 12:17, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Three Doors to Death

message: I've added a scan of the cover of the unique edition of "Door to Death" in the 64-page Dell Ten-Cent Edition series, #21, from 1951.  Accounting4Taste:talk 01:36, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I'm following up on a discussion on the talk page for "Door to Death", in response to an unsigned comment posted there.
Now that each Nero Wolfe novella and short story has its own article, publications that are unique to an individual story can be placed in the publication history of that specific article. The Dell 10-cent edition of "Door to Death" no longer needs to be listed in the publication history for Three Doors to Death; it is already listed in the "Door to Death" publication history. When it was added here in recent days I removed it, and explained the reason in my edit summary. It was promptly added again, but I feel it should be removed. The articles on the story-story collections like Three Doors to Death should contain information on just that entire book's publication history, and that of the omnibus volumes that sometimes contain them — Five of a Kind, in this case.
I am requesting the editor's understanding, and that the Dell 10-cent edition be removed from this article's publication history. — WFinch (talk) 20:51, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Would that work for all here? Or is there a superior unforeseen reasoning they should stay separate? I think much of the info could be put in a past tense in history about the port's 1964-2008 structuring. CaribDigita (talk) 14:59, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Drumming (snipe)

message: Hello ! I have recently been assigned a project in school to research and edit an existing Wikipedia article ! I have chosen this article on the Drumming behaviour in snipe, as the material was not too developed. Before adding my research to the live article, I removed some of the references (they were originally listed as references 2, 5 and 6) as they had no reliable or scholarly sources to support their claims. In terms of changes made to the lead paragraph, though some of the information was similar to what I included, I changed them to better reflect the newly added material from my research. As well, there were some sentences in the lead paragraph that I chose to remove because they were not included anywhere else in the article - the purpose of the lead paragraph is to summarize the main points of content throughout a Wikipedia article. I look forward to hearing any feedback on the changes I have made to further develop this article and I welcome any comments or critiques. Thank you, and happy researching !

Talk:Delenda Est

message: This is the current bit of the article, which I object to:
At the time of the story, Britain (Brittys), Ireland, France (Gallia) and Spain (Celtan) are under Celtic control, and the Celts also colonised North America, known as Affalon in this timeline. Italy (Cimmeria) is under Germanic domination, Switzerland and Austria exist within Helvetia, Lithuania (Littorn) controls Scandinavia, northern Germany and much of Eastern Europe, while a Carthaginian successor empire (Carthagalann) dominates much of Northern Africa. The Han (Chinese) Empire controls China and Taiwan, as well as encompassing Korea, Japan and western Siberia. Punjab comprises western India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
What the story actually says is:
North America down to about Colombia was Ynys yr Afallon [not Affalon], seemingly one country divided into states. South America was a big realm, Huy Braseal, and some smaller countries whose names looked Indian. Australasia, Indonesia, Borneo, Burma, eastern India, and a good deal of the Pacific belonged to Hinduraj. Afghanistan and the rest of India were Punjab. Han included China, Korea, Japan, and eastern Siberia. Littorn owned the rest of Russia and reached well into Europe [no part of Scandinavia]. The British Isles were Brittys, France and the Low Countries were Gallis [not Gallia], the Iberian peninsula was Celtan. Central Europe and the Balkans were divided into many small nations, some of which had Hunnish-looking names. Switzerland and Austria made up Helveti [not Helvetia]; Italy was Cimberland [not Cimmeria]; the Scandinavian peninsula was split down the middle, Svea in the north and Gothland in the south. North Africa looked like a confederacy, reaching from Senegal to Suez and nearly to the equator under the name of Carthagalann; the southern part of the continent was partitioned among minor sovereignties, many of which had purely African titles. The Near East held Parthia and Arabia.
