Talk:Aniridia

message: The initial image (Aniridia.jpg) should be put back in the article since the current one (023-p-039-9426.jpg) offers no real perspective on what the condition actually is. People now viewing the article only see a confusing collage of repulsive photos. I know that the former is not good quality, so the current one should be placed further down in this article and in the right heading (PAX6, probably). As for the label of the first one, mentioning that the man is Scandinavian is of little relevance. I will most likely do this unless I receive a response soon.

message: "It is associated with poor development of the retina at the back of the eye preventing normal vision development.  Aniridia does not cause lack of vision."
Is it just me, or do these two sentences, right next to each other at the beginning of the article contradict each other?  If this condition prevents normal vision, then how is it that it does not cause lack of vision?  What is abnormal about the vision of a person with this condition?

message: This sentence in the article, under Publication history, "Christie was paid £50 for the serialisation rights (£1,545 in 2003 currency)." is backed up by the biography giving the original price, and then uses this source, now saved by a bot, to support turning that amount into a 15-year-old amount, far higher.

:The problem with the source as it is now is that there is no table showing inflation of the British pound from when Christie got the money in the 1920s and 2003. It discusses May 2018 inflation curves, not going back to the last century. I am not sure this is of much value, to know the inflation rate to 2003, or to 2018, but the first problem is that there is not a source for turning 20 pounds into another value in any year of this, the 21st century. If someone else can fix this great. Otherwise, I suggest removing the sentence and the supposed source of the value of 50 pounds nearly 100 years later.  --Prairieplant (talk) 14:33, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:The Murder at the Vicarage

message: I've just read Harley Quin story "The Love Detectives" from the short short story collection "Three Blind Mice and Other Stories". The matter is that "The L. D." has similarities to "The M. at the V." - two lovers, each one taking guilt of the murder of woman's husband on himself\herself separately from each other, because of thinking that the other one did it, but really it's part of their plan of taking the suspicion off themselves after committing murder. Should it be mentioned in the article, i. e. category "References to other works" be added?

How is Sylvia both a Pearson, the niece of Trevelyan's late sister, sister to Brian and James, and more quietly, linked to Rycroft by a book with the name of Martha Rycroft found in the study of Sylvia's unfaithful husband? Why did the Inspector bother to look up the marriage record from 1894, for William Martin Dering and Elizabeth Rycroft? Is she Rycroft's niece by her marriage to the son of that couple, through his sister Elizabeth, and Martha's name in the book is just to make the confusion? Tell me what detail I overlooked.

Talk:Death in the Clouds

message: This article previously stated that Death in the Clouds is a locked room mystery. If you compare the summary with the linked article, however, you find that this plot does not conform to the definition given there. It can be argued that this novel and Cards on the Table are representatives of a genre of mystery in which the number of suspects is physically specified, but this is not apparently what is meant by a "locked room mystery". --Sordel 19:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The plot summary completely omits not only the budding romance between Norman Gale and Jane Grey but also the differing effects on their professional lives, which are key plot elements.

Maybe you could use the title=Review of Murder in Mesopotamia or simple title=Review if you cannot find the actual title from the newspaper that day.

thread_title: Spoiler warning?

message: Looking through the revisions (I need to get out more) there is a good deal of backwards-and-forwards revising about whether Jacob Tanios is really bullying his wife.  It turns out he is not.  Poirot says in the last chapter "I realized at once, not that [Bella] feared her husband, but that she disliked him... Here was - not a self-indulgent woman - but a thwarted one.  A plain girl, leading a dull existence, unable to attract the men she would like to attract, finally accepting a man she did not care for rather than be left an old maid... Her husband was devoted to her, but she came secretly to dislike him more and more."  This point is quite central to the plot, as it's the false impression she creates that makes us suspect Dr. Tanios. 92.1.148.229 (talk) 22:25, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I somewhat disagree with the list of modifications.  Charles is not only a contestant for the water speed record - this is a whole subject added to the book - but a more basically reputable character than Christie's, being an old friend of Hastings'.  I do not quite see that the change in Theresa's character is as radical as stated.  However, another major alteration, unmentioned, is that instead of Theresa being engaged, the situation is the far less conventional one of Miss Lawson being the character to have a doctor suitor, Dr Grainger, from the book.
