Talk:The Old Curiosity Shop

message: The section Plot Introduction seems very subjective. 'It is one of his funniest and most entertaining', 'like all of Dickens's novels, the book is full of wonderful characters' both seem to be little more than opinions (esp. without citation)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: The statement about 'A musical version... was a flop because the age of the conventional British musical had passed.' is uncited and seems subjective. Gholson (talk) 13:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

message: In the next week or two I plan on overhauling this article.  If anybody has any suggestions, requests, etc., lodge them now.  Overall I think this article sort of stinks, so far, and reads more like a too-long sixth-grade book report than an encyclopedic narrative, and I want to try and spiff it up, but I don't want to scare anybody by making (the necessarily dramatic) changes without warning.  So you're warned!  Love, Sugarbat (talk) 05:23, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyedit blitz coming!

message: I just recently inherited a copy of the book that was copywrited and published in 1904 with a leatherbound so I added it in. Hopefully, this is okay and if proof needs to be provided, I am willing to take pictures (and add it in, maybe?) Yoryx (talk) 07:31, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

message: There's a malfunction with the text in the 'Plot summary' section. I've no idea how to fix it so I'll just leave this comment here and hope someone sees it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.197.44.235 (talk) 00:23, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I hate to say it's understandable about the ridicule the character Nell gets as she just seemed to perfect at times and her death was so predicable as a narrative device.--208.79.246.64 (talk) 22:35, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

message: The cover image used in the infobox says, by caption, that it is the publication that carried the instalments of the novel before it was published as a book. I see the name Barnaby Rudge below the title Master Humphrey's Clock. Other print on the image is too small or too out of focus to read, for me at least. It looks like the same image as is used for the infobox for the next novel, Barnaby Rudge and checking the image use, it is exactly the same image. Is there a wrapper showing The Old Curiosity Shop? If not, the title page from the book ought to be in the infobox.  --Prairieplant (talk) 23:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
