Talk:Rebecca West

message: Rebecca West was born December, 21st
My understanding is that the full and correct quote ends, "...differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute."  
Personally, I do wish Ms. West had been more gracious toward sex workers, but I don't condone Bowdlerization through convenient ommission. {unsigned}
Methinks unsigned there wishes all past history to be in alignment with their 21st century ideology. Perhaps they missed the fact that one major reason West's work is so powerful is that, unlike many other writers, she is not afraid of taking a stance and being open and honest with her opinions rather than biting her tongue so as not to potentially offended anyone.

replies: text: I hope in the decade since you wrote this nonsense, you have become a more intelligent and thoughtful individual. Given you're a Wikipedia editor, that is rather doubtful. But one can hope. 2603:7080:8040:EE00:0:0:0:1 (talk) 22:30, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem 

message: I disambiguated the link to The Bookman based on this Google Books result. Not sure why it was sitting around for almost two years when a simple Google search would have cleared it up. --Closedmouth (talk) 09:45, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bookman 

message: Every single paragraph gushes with favourable intensifiers, like "outstanding" this or outstanding that. Wikipedia isn't supposed to use weasel worded stuff in articles--unless the vast majority of secondary sources all specifically describe something as outstanding, and specifically, use the word outstanding. The whole thing reminds me of the worst sort of brittanica article.2601:7:6580:5E3:F9ED:E455:A019:4152 (talk) 09:26, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  This article does not have a neutral point of view. 

message: On second thought, this article should be moved to Rebecca West (writer) rather than just having the hatnote, as the Ibsen play from which she took her pen name is far better known. --Msbmt (talk) 01:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
