Talk:Horrid Henry

message: There are two Dennis the Menace characters.  Which one do you mean ?  He sounds more like the UK one than the US one.  Was that who you had in mind ? -- Derek Ross 19:30, 31 January 2003‎ 
:Being American myself, I was thinking of the American character, but he may very well be like the UK one as well.  -- Deece actually User:62.255.64.6 16:40, 6 February 2003
::Whichever was meant, if it's just one editor's opinion, it shouldn't be here. I've removed the reference. -- Oliver P. 12:34 8 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:Seeing as though the author is British it's probably going to be the British Dennis the Menace, but Horrid Henry is nothing like him. Don'tClickHerechat / what i've done / email 15:48, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Dennis the Menace

message: I think we should split the article between the book series and the Cartoon series (The latter would include DVD's as well).  What do you think.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gleech (talk • contribs) 00:57, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Splitting Article 

message: Shouldn't we create a seperate list of characters to replace the list here? On a seperate list of characters, we can write more about the characters. George.millman (talk) 17:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Characters 

message: This article apparently lists everything ever published with the character H.H.
But for someone who is not familiar with the series, it is impossible to get an impression of how the character looks or what the basic story of any of the comics/books/tv series is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.168.111.114 (talk) 15:59, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Everything

message: It would help, as at the moment this article is simply a list of all published works. If anyone has any information about the series, editing the article would be highly appreciated. ~NottNott  (talk)  22:30, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Information about the Story 

message: Wondering if the surname of Henry and his family was ever hinted at. http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_Horrid_Henry's_surname says Drulley but it was not sourced so I do not believe it yet. --Ranze (talk) 08:28, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have seen the occasional claim to Henry's surname in the List of Horrid Henry characters article so I started the discussion 'Henry's surname, the first names of his parents and the headteacher's title' on the talk page for that article. Please refer to that entry to keep this discussion in one place. Tk420 (talk) 13:22, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have started this discussion in case of any confusion over the writing style to be used in these articles. Although many modern British publishers use single quotation marks for primary quotation and double marks for secondary quotation the British editions of the Horrid Henry books use double marks for primary quotation as used by the mainstream media and in American English.

thread_title:  Manuel of style in the Horrid Henry articles 

message: At least three books in the Horrid Henry series have had more than one title within the English-speaking world over their lifetimes. I remember seeing Horrid Henry and the Tooth Fairy (obviously an alternative to Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy) in my school library in the early 2000s and I had noticed in the "other titles" section of the Horrid Henry books of that era the third book being "previously published as Horrid Henry and the Tooth Fairy" and Horrid Henry Get Rich Quick being "previously published as Horrid Henry Strikes it Rich". I have since found those titles on book covers in Google image searches in which I also found a cover with the title Horrid Henry's Head Lice with an illustration in the style other than that by Tony Ross used in the UK. As far as I know the fourth book has always been published in the UK as Horrid Henry's Nits (in British slang "nit" is used to refer to head lice in general rather than just empty or non viable eggs). Other Wikipedia articles often have former or international titles, if the work has had any in the English-speaking world, in brackets after the current title in the work's home country which I presume is to let readers know they have found what they are looking for if they discovered the work by one of its other titles. I have previously tried providing the alternative titles to the Horrid Henry book I know to have had other titles. Tk420 (talk) 18:15, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
