Talk:Henry de Montherlant

message: Having read the English language Wikipedia entry on Henry de Montherlant,I was surprised to see a very different 
biographical entry on the author Henry de Montherlant in Wikipedia in Google France, which would seem to say that
 accusations of homosexuality,paedophilia, misogyny and collaboration against the author were myths created by Roger
 Peyrefitte and others, were calumnious and not based on any evidence. Why are these recent researched assessments not 
even alluded to on any way in English language Wikipedia, which seems to be totally biased against the author? 
 I have studied Montherlant's work and listened to contemporary discussions on the author on French Radio etc.
The contrast between both entries resembles the difference between Stalin and Mother Theresa.
                 
                                                                                          Yours faithfully,
                                                                                               Brendan Durnin.

thread_title:  Henry de Montherlant 

message: The article says that was "Montherlant was attacked and beaten in the streets of Paris in 1968". Some comments on this - such as the motives and attackers - would be useful. Otherwise, readers are left guessing. Norvo (talk) 00:05, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why was he physically set upon in 1968? 

message: The editor who left the NPOV tag did not leave any comment other than the edit summary:  The information present is superficial and biased, in parts homophobic, with no context or additional information, and only a citation as evidence.  Here's what it looks like to me.  
*  Orientation.  There's a lot about de Montherlant's orientation, perhaps too much.  The only truly questionable content I see is the phrase "an active pederast", which is harsh language.  I'm changing it.  
*  Collaboration.  Seems to be more substance to this.  This version condemns him conclusively, while the French-language version of the page paints a different picture entirely, and seems completely credible.  Deserves further research.
*  As another editor noted above, the incident in 1968 is badly phrased and uncited, I'll fix that too.  --Lockley (talk) 05:10, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Étienne Pivert de Senancour

message: There seems to be some confusion about the correct spelling of the surname Sénancour, perhaps due to the earlier tradition in which majuscule (capital) letters in French printing were often not accented. So for example, in many older books, one can see the author's name spelled as "E SENANCOUR" without an accent on either the E of Étienne or on the E in the surname. No one, however, questions that the given name Étienne has an acute accent on the first letter. Many older books do in fact show the accent in the surname. I believe that Sénancour, not Senancour, is actually the correct spelling, and that this article should be corrected accordingly.

message: The publication dates of the novels here do not all correspond with those on the corresponding French Wikipedia page about Bazin. I have no idea which is correct, but some changes are required on one or other of the pages. Bandekafsh (talk) 13:30, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Publication dates of novels 

message: For some reason, the punctuation section displays another author's mark; it openly states it's the other author's mark and that Hervé's was different, but for some reason doesn't just display the relevant mark. Why?? Should this be fixed? Hppavilion1 (talk) 10:31, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Punctuation 

message: The "Irony Point" (or "point d' ironie") in the section on Bazin's punctuation is not the one he invented, but rather the one invented by Brahm about 67 years earlier. The article makes note of this, and explains what Bazin's looks like, but I'm unclear why Brahm's point is in the article at all- it seems like it'd almost be better to have no image at all than one unrelated to the article's subject, and it should be fairly trivial to draw up an example of the correct one using the description. Hppavilion1 (talk) 21:56, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Irony Point 

message: Regarding l’ortografiǝ lojikǝ, I've added a table of the letters (and the three letterlike marks), which table I wrote myself from the letters, names, and sound values given in Plumons l'oiseau. For the IPA and the in-orthography names, I looked up Wiktionary pronunciations of Bazin's French. The table design, I copied from French_orthography#Alphabet. —
The edition I used claims to be «Bazin, Hervé (1966), Plumons l'oiseau, Paris (France): Éditions Bernard Grasset», just like the two citations already in the article. But it is in fact the Amazon Kindle edition as of 8 May 2021, which differs slightly from the 1966 print edition, presumably due to having been run through an OCR system not equipped to handle technical notation. Also, since it's digital, I can't determine the proper page numbers. —
Rationale for including this table in Wikipedia: The orthography is notable enough to mention (as see e.g. the section header). Given that, I think it's also appropriate to give a summary, as the article already did for the punctuation. And while the table content is freely checkable with the book, none of the article's current online sources document the orthography, meaning we can't just link out for it.

Talk:Madame d'Aulnoy

message: *Am I right that her name is pronounced "doh-nay"?--Wetman 04:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Someone has just changed baronne to countess in the first sentence. That's a bit of a problematic issue as she is known under both titles. Her mother was first married to a man by the name Le Coutellier, and then to the marquis de Gudanne. She was generally called la dame de Gudanne. Madame d'Aulnoy herself married the baron d'Aulnoy. Under these circumstances it's not at all clear why she was ever called comtesse d'Aulnoy. But she was called that as well.
Therefore I will change the first sentence to the effect that she was a baroness but also known as a countess. Hans Adler 21:38, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Colette Peignot

message: I don't know if this is due to the editor not having English as a native tongue, or a poor translation, or some other reason, but much of the article is nonsensical in English.  To wit: "Highly implicated in the early communist movement, she used her life as a tool of emancipation. Her affairs with prominent intellectuals such as Jean Bernier, Eduard Trautner, Boris Pilnyak, Boris Souvarine, George Bataille, were for her as important as affective encounters, than as weapons against her condition of woman, bourgeoise, ill and colonialist." (emphases added)  These are terms that do not make sense in English.  There is no such state as "highly implicated"; implication is binary -- one either is, or isn't implicated.  Using one's life as a "tool of emancipation" is equally nonsensical, and the other highlighted sections are likewise far from understandable in English, as well as lacking correct grammar. It would be helpful if someone could try to make sense of it. Bricology (talk) 09:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
