Talk:Mrs. Coulter

message: Why was Ann Coulter in the "see also" section?  If there is a known connection between the two, i.e. Marisa is based on Ann, then say so in the main text, if not this is irrelevant family name trivia.  Joe D (t) 02:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Mrs Coulter has black hair in the book. I think that does deserve to be mentioned, but I couldn't think of a way to shoe-horn it into the current fairly short article. 86.149.131.137 (talk) 00:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Her dæmon has no name in the books. The name 'Ozymandias' was used in a radio adaptation and is, thus, not canonical.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.112.153.103 (talk) 03:56, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Why does it mention in Mrs. Coulter's little info-card that Lyra is her daughter? That's a big (if predictable) plot twist!

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Mrscoulter.jpg

message: I think that pictures of the actors from the films should be in the adaptations section of the article, not the infobox, in the manner of Lord of the Rings characters (Elrond, Frodo, etc.) I know that the Harry Potter characters have the film actors in the infoboxes, and while I don't agree with that either, I'm more interested in HDM. Besides, while Rowling has been fairly involved with the HP movies, some of which were made while her books were being written, Pullman (though he did advise the TGC crew) has been much more explicit about not confusing the movie with the books. Viz: 
:I think the story will survive. I would be sorry if there was a law which said every time a film comes out the book or books on which it was based had to be withdrawn. As James M Cain replied when asked if he minded what had been done to one of his books: 'They've done nothing to my book, it's there on the shelf.'
:[Pullman] was keen never to be officially employed by the film company: "It means I can tell them to bugger off."
Not to mention the fact that it looks as though we won't have any Will Parry performance to match with the other principal characters.
HP aside, HDM, like LotR is first and foremost a literary work. Putting one adaptation's pictures in infoboxes is therefore, IMO, inappropriate.Mdiamante (talk) 13:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All articles are required to have an infobox image in order to make FA status which is the ambition of every article and as the picture of Nicole is the only professional image of Mrs Coulter that we have, it should be in the infobox. The images of the LOTR and Narnia characters from the films should be in the infoboxes for their respective articles but the purists seem to have a thing against film adaptations of books which is hardly encyclopedic. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 14:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Curious... Where's that requirement? Wikipedia:Featured article criteria says there should be images where appropriate, but says nothing about infoboxes. Faramir seems to be the highest-ranked LotR character (good-class), and has no picture in the infobox. Cheers, Mdiamante (talk) 15:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
