Talk:Power of Three (novel)

message: I deleted the Awards section with this content only (cut and paste):
*1977: Guardian Children's Fiction Award Commended
*Silberner Griffel (Netherlands)
1. Those two awards must be "Guardian Children's Fiction Prize" (here at EN.wiki) and ":nl:Zilveren Griffel" (at Dutch NL.wiki).
2. Did this book or Jones as author win a Silver Pencil, as we usually say here? She appears only once in the NL.wiki list, namely:
* [1981] Diana Wynne Jones voor De negen levens
That is "the nine lives", evidently the Dutch edition of Charmed Life, which the Dutch biography :nl:Diana Wynne Jones confirms. Their biography does literally give the Silver Pencil to Power of Three, but it was copied from us 9 nov 2007 with that info in place. We may reasonably rely on them only for the Dutch title of Charmed Life.
3. Did this book get a Guardian Prize commendation? We have essentially no record of any runners-up (commendations, shortlists, longlists, etc) before year 2000. There were runners-up, certainly, and its plausible to me that this book was one of them for 1977. ...
I deleted this listing along with the other because Charmed Life was published in the same year and did win the 1978 Guardian Prize and the other listing seems to confuse the two books.
P.S. The German article on the Dutch award, :de:Silberner Griffel, does not list all winners and includes a stray mention of DWJ at the foot.

Talk:A Watcher in the Woods

message: 2 things:
# My paperback copy of the novel is titled The Watcher in the Woods  (Scholastic Book Services, 1980) with the words "A New Thriller from Walt Disney Studios" above the title.  The Copyright page says the text is copyright 1980 (not 1976). 202 pages. Did she re-write it a little for the Disney release? Cover illustration is a watercolor that is also copyright 1980, but by Walt Disney Productions.  I know that the original title was A Watcher in the Woods, I have seen it on eBay (but never in person).  I was just wondering why they would re-title, and re-copyright the book (without mention of any previous editions). Did they make enough/any changes to this version of the book to warrant it be re-released like this?
#On a different subject, just an FYI, there is another book called A Watcher in the Woods and it is by Dallas Lore Sharp from 1903.

message: I don't think the colour part of the article is really necessary.  It doesn't seem all that important to the nature of alchemy.
Additionally, the section of alchemic techniques looks somewhat... not so encyclopedic.  It's just a list compiled of all the described alchemy techniques performed (which don't have actual names).  If it can be improved, it can be left; other wise, I think it should be removed.

Talk:Pakualaman

message: A previous editor refers to Pakualaman as a 'Duchy', which in my view is incorrect and anachronistic. Traditionally, English and Dutch writers have always referred to successive rulers of Pakualaman as 'Princes'. A 'duke' in the British sense is a nobleman who lacks the attribute of sovereignty, so it would be more accurate to describe the ruler of Pakualaman as a 'native prince'.

In 1914 the first world ware started and the Ottomans were defeated along with the Germans and the reign was divided according to the Sykes-Peco  agreement between France and England, during that time the emirate of east of Jordan was established with Abdullah bin Hussein as a prince, and when the government started to divide the emirate into governents al hoson was the first choice to be the main government in the north side of the emirate, but the people of the city refused the proposal saying that they don’t want the army to walk around in the city seeing their women and families, so instead the government chose Irbid.

A reader only has to get as far as "George Gunn (June 13, 1879, Hucknall, Nottinghamshire – June 29, 1958, Cuckfield, Sussex) was an English cricketer" and they will know that it's not about the Scottish writer.
