thread_title:  Shriver? 

message: The following was added to the article by Shrionel on 8 January 2007, and was then moved from the article page to here (by CarolGray), pending being merged into the article:
:Changed her name from Margaret Ann TO LIONEL because she liked the sound of it.  [As written, she liked the sound of Margaret Ann.)
:Re: columns, wrote about the "pettiness of BRITISH GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES" not about the pettiness of the British public
:Delete "shared" inheritance--she has no "shared" inheritance; indeed, she has no inheritance, period. Better to say she wrote about the "importance of libraries", and perhaps to include parenthetically "(she plans to will whatever assets remain at her death to the Belfast Library Board, from whose libraries she checked out so many books when she lived in Northern Ireland)". 
:Married to jazz drummer JEFF Williams [not Geoff].
:Thanks,
:Lionel Shriver

thread_title:  Comment moved from article page 

message: I wondered why no one has drawn the parallel between her book and "The Omen". If you take out religion and substitute Kevin for Damien the stories are almost identical. There's nothing wrong with that - The Omen is a great story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.103.63.146 (talk • contribs) 18:48, 26 January 2007
:If a reviewer has written words to that effect in print, we can quote it. However, for a Wikipedia editor to opine thusly would be original research and not appropriate for the article. Also, such information would more appropriately belong in the article about the book, rather than the article about the author. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 20:11, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Omen 

message: Biography section seems weak for someone with such an exotic history.  The religious upbringing and world travel, life in Northern Ireland, writing for The Economist & Guardian and Anglo/American residences.  A little more plot here please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.231.201.230 (talk) 05:23, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biography 

message: It is not clear what the issue is.
She talks about "maternal ambivalence" in <https://www.theguardian.com/books/2005/sep/17/society> about not regretting being childless.
?Rephrase or provide citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peaceandlonglife (talk • contribs) 17:15, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
