Talk:Max Beerbohm

message: Beerbohm's  contribution to the first number of The Yellow Book was actually entitled "In Defense of Cosmetics." ("In Praise of Cosmetics" or "l'Eloge du Maquillage" was a famous article by Baudelaire.) Beerbohm republished the essay in The Works of Max Beerbohm as "The Pervasion of Rouge," and it is more widely known by that name.--Gnunberg 02:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says Beerbohm took over from Shaw as drama critic for the Saturday Review in 1898.  The link for "Saturday Review" leads to an American periodical which was founded in 1924.  Going to the disambiguation page for "Saturday Review" shows a link for "Saturday Review, a former English periodical."  Clicking on this page yields "Article not found."  So, this Beerbohm article links to the wrong page, because there is only a link, but no article, for the correct page.
Either the link should be removed, or the correct page should be created as a stub.

replies: text: Yes, either of your two suggestions would have been an improvement (and thank you for pointing out the problem). But I took a third route: altering the link in accordance with that in the disambig page. Offhand I don't know anything about the (London) Saturday Review, but I'm sure that somebody else will eventually get around to writing it up: when he or she does click on either of those red links and kick off the needed article, both links to it will turn blue. -- Hoary 23:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

message: As his mother was their mother's sister, they were also his first cousins, as I have noted on the talk page for Herbert Beerbohm Tree.  Kostaki mou (talk) 18:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The DNB and other good sources say they were half-siblings.  What is your source? -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:11, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Read the article!  After his first wife's death, Beerbohm's father married her sister.  That clearly makes the children of the two marriages first cousins as well as half-siblings.  Kostaki mou (talk) 23:14, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

message: He wrote a Latin poem, in three couplets, which I can almost fully remember, but can't remember where to find, expressing a very strong hatred of Charterhouse. It ended by saying he would remember the place so that he would recognise Hell if he ever got there. Esedowns (talk) 14:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
