Talk:Fairy tale

message: Wikipedia's articles about fairy tales don't seem to have a consistent practice as far as italicizing titles or putting them in quotation marks.  My understanding of the standard rule of titles is that a short story's title (e.g. "Little Red Riding Hood") should be put in quotation marks, and longer works (e.g., collections of fairy tales) should be italicized.  Is there some reason this rule is being broken by this article and some of the other articles relating to fairy tales? AtticusX (talk) 05:19, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Why is there an IPA pronunciation guide for this entry? Is anyone struggling to pronounce these two common English words? What's more, the pronunciation given is a rather strange one. Chalkieperfect (talk) 17:47, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

message: The paragraph at the end of History, Later Works seems 1) out of place and 2) based on original research.  It was added May 18, 2014.  Here it is: "Although many mainstream biologists contend that fairies may well be evidenced by the existence of the stick mantis (brunneria borealis), the existence of fairies could also be evidenced by fireflies."  Since this is an article about fairy tales (which are rarely about fairies), a statement about the existence of fairies seems inappropriate. 2601:9:4500:BB:0:0:0:9F2 (talk) 06:23, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

message: "The French contest". I suppose this must be a typo for "contes"?. I'll correct it. If anyone objects I'll move it back.

message: § Compilations is currently unsorted. Names are sometimes displayed given name first, sometimes surname first, with no apparent alphabetical sorting. While I believe a bold editor can alphabetize the list, how should the names be displayed: surname first, or given name first? I assume the list will be sorted alphabetically by surname regardless of how it is displayed. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 21:48, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
