thread_title:  Merge Suggestion 

message: I think this article not only should be merged with other characters, but should be called Touchstone, not Torrigan. When Touchstone is made King, he does not use his true name; he is called Touchstone throughout the whole series. In fact, his true name (Torrigan) is not revealed to the reader until the very end of Abhorsen. The article title should be changed to Touchstone. If no one protests to this, I will change it myself soon. 213.122.117.127 12:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

text: You're right, but since there is not and will never be a Shakespeare Touchstone page, Touchstone (character) can apply to Torrigan. Once there's a dab page, we can mention the Shakespeare character with a link to that article. What's the problem? (P.S. Glad you got a username. :)  Anons always look suspicious.)

There is absolutely nothing in that source at that page about any painting, statue, or art of any kind in the Temple of Piety.

Ann Marie A. Short, Abigail L. Palko, and Dionne.
I'm not removing this since Sperling may well say that but it will need to be removed or clarified. The current placement makes it sound like Pliny's account includes this sqeamishness, which it very much does not. Assuming it wasn't made up whole cloth (in which case yeah remove it), the actual source Sperling is supposedly pointing to needs to be explained, possibly involving moving it to another paragraph to avoid the current mistaken connection to Pliny's version. — LlywelynII 12:00, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
