Talk:What My Mother Doesn't Know

message: "What My Mother Doesn't know",is a great read, I admit it, although its highly inappropriate,  but only for children under 12. I am 13 years old, and I had read this book for 5 classes at school, I missed some of the classes because I was so obsessed with the book, but who could blame me, its a good book. But this book is about A girl named Sophie, and she is starting to go out with a boy named Dylan, and then later in the book, she soon meets a boy on internet chat, she starts liking a boy named Chaz but she doesn't know he's a pervert until later in the story. Then by 50 pages by the end of the book she soon finds herself in love with Robin Murphy(School Dork) which was her "Mystery Man", at the Halloween dance right after she saw her Ex-Boyfriend Dylan, which was a big mistake even though she liked Chaz and broke Dylan's some what broken heart. By the end of the story, Rachel and her other best friend would like to know who this mysterious boyfriend was. But by the end of the book, she fights sitting with her best friends or Robin Murphy, but she chose Robin, Robin was sitting by himself, a lot of people thought that Murphy was ugly and un-dateable, but the were all wrong, someone fell in deep love with Murphy, Sophie had... the students at lunch were surprised of this major accomplishment that Murphy had made. Rachel and her other best friend were very surprised to see that her boyfriend was Murphy, because Sophie herself thought that he was also un-dateable and ugly, but she found herself in positions that she couldn't get out of. My rate on the book is 5 stars...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.189.116.209 (talk) 19:07, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:When She Was Good

message: This book is basically about a girl who really doesn't know who she is and then she becomes friends with another girl and then they I guess fall in love. I think that the movie Love and Suicide is based on this book. Love and Suicide talks about a girl who is in a too religous family and she becomes friends with another girl and they fall in love.

Talk:Bridal Path (novel)

message: This page is titled The Bridal Path because it began life as an article about the film (which had the definite article in its title).  The original novel, however is simply Bridal Path.  Should the page name be changed to reflect that?  ie. is this about the film (with a bit about the book) or about the book (with a bit about the film)?  Gwinva 20:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Slightly biased I know, but I would say this should be about the Novel and have the article name "Bridal Path" and lead line of "Bridal Path".

Talk:Wild Cat Falling

message: The passages doubting Mudrooroo's aboriginality need to be clarified and referenced with a reputable source.  The current reference given "Mudrooroo was actually born to a white mother and African-American father." does not mean that Mudrooroo is not of Aboriginal descent. Further, Mudrooroo identifies as Aboriginal and is accepted as such by his community.
According to AIATSIS:
There are three criteria for confirmation of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage that are usually accepted by government agencies and community organisations and are outlined on ATSIC’s “Confirmation of Aboriginality or Torres Strait Islander Descent” form. They are: 
1. Being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent
2. Identifying as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
3. Being accepted as such by the community in which you live, or formally lived.

Talk:Wind, Sand and Stars

message: I took the liberty of removing the following paragraph altogether:
"The French title is capable of multiple translations, as terre can mean "land", "world", or "clay", and it can also be a homophone for "taire" ("to silence", or "silencing"). "homme" can be translated as "men" or "people".
I'm sorry to say this is a misinterpretation and a complete nonsense - trust me, I'm French! "Terre" in this context only means Earth, and nothing else. Linking "Terre" with its homophone "Taire" doesn't make sense in this situation whatsoever. "Hommes", in the context of the book, refers to human beings in general, and not just male humans.

Talk:Syracuse Nationals

message: I've noticed that an anonymous user recently changed the year that the Syracuse Nationals started from 1939 to 1946, and removed the information about the Nationals' years as an independent franchise. The Syracuse Nationals actually started in 1939 as an independent, professional barnstorming team, and 1946 is just the year the team joined the National Basketball League. The team played as the Syracuse Reds during their barnstorming years, even though the information for the Syracuse Reds should be kept at this article because the Syracuse Nationals are the same franchise as the Syracuse Reds. --Apollo1758 (talk) 16:37, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

text: No source I can find mentions the Reds as existing after 1941. This book on page 41 states that Danny Biasone, founder of the Nationals, paid $5000 to join the NBL in 1946 specifically because his (unnamed) semi-pro team had two dates cancelled against the NBL's Rochester Royals. The Nationals, therefore, definitely have connections predating 1946, but the last sentence of the same paragraph ("Now, with his own team,...") implies that the NBL Nationals may be considered a new entity distinct from the semi-pro team.

Talk:Wonderland Avenue: Tales of Glamour and Excess

message: There is no original research in this article.  It was written by people who read the book.  If you haven't read the book, then please don't participate.  If you don't believe the book says, "Thursday, October 4, 1970," then pick up a copy at a library and you'll find it.  There are millions of sources on the fact that on Sunday, October 4, 1970, Janis Joplin's body was discovered at a hotel three miles away from the building where Danny Sugerman was hanging around trying to find Jim Morrison.  Several Los Angeles tourism web sites show you the cafe on Santa Monica Blvd. that used to be the Doors' office where Morrison and Sugerman spent much of their time together.  It's three miles away from what is today the Highland Gardens Hotel where Joplin died. 
If you don't believe Sugerman claimed to have done drugs with Mackenzie Phillips after she started working on One Day At A Time, please read the book.  He was 23 when she was arrested in November 1977.  Source is the front page of the Los Angeles Times.  He says that was before he went in the mental hospital.  Sugerman's claim that everything happened before he turned 21 and while he was 21 was false. That doesn't mean the whole book is false.  The article says it was graphically accurate.
