thread_title:  1978 revision 

message: This article is poorly developed/sourced, and needs to be rewritten/expanded. Considering the high importance of the novel and its legacy, It's surprising to see the article in such a state. There is a great deal of information missing from the article. This missing information includes those on the novel's plot, development, legacy, and references/influences in popular culture. This all needs to be added to the article with proper citations from reliable sources. The reception section is poorly developed and needs to be rewritten and formatted. There are so many things that needs to be done to this article in order for it to reach its full potential. Hopefully someone comes along and give this article the attention it needs.--Paleface Jack 17:45, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk:The Book of Illusions

message: The film The Artist(2011) has a very similar plot line. 
Auster had friends connected with Charles Ludlum and his "Ridiculous Theater". Ludlam was interested in silent film, and in developing silent plays; he even produced short silent films, including The Museum of Wax", he also played silent star Norma Desmond (in drag) in his play "The Big Hotel Bluebeard". 
Characters in "The Book of Illusions" mirror those around both Auster and the "Ridiculous" during that period (15-20 years prior to the publication of this book). The moralities of the late silent era and of the early AIDS period of New York theater are shown to parallel each other. The "illusions" of the title are those of both art and "progress"- the goals of art and artists only seem to be evolving towards some kind of clarification, while personal ambitions and expectations mask the real effects of time on individuals, and social morés prevent real emotions from coming to expression without distortion. The hunt for the lost grail- a master's perfectly realized last works of art- reveals only the machinery of illusion.Klasovsky (talk) 15:50, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Biathlon World Championships 2007

message: A dedicated article to each and every single race of the Championships seems a little over the top, especially since 1) the full, detailed, statistics are easily to be found on the IBU/EBU's own website, and 2) summaries of the races are best put in the present article, as has already been well done for the men's Sprint, I noticed. An example of the redundancy can be had by comparing the Biathlon World Championship 2007 - Men's Sprint "article" to the IBU/EBU results list. --Wernher 08:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Yooks eat their bread with the butter side down, and the Zooks eat their bread with the butter side up. 

message: I think it's very possible that Geisel invented the word "Yook" as a wordplay/abbreviation on "eucharist," referencing the debate between Catholics and Protestants over the blood and body of Christ. The battle in Swift's Gulliver's Travels between the Liliputians and Blefuscu over which side to break an egg on is a parody of the eucharist debate, and is, of course, very similar to the premise of The Butter Battle Book. --JohnnyLurg (talk) 03:44, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Origin of the Word "Yook" 

message: There have been a couple instances of people changing the text of the article to say that the title card at the end of the television special reads "To be continued..." instead of "The End (maybe)". When I watch the special (available here (YouTube link)), it clearly says "The End (maybe)". Here is a direct link to the title card in question (again just a YouTube link). Is it possible there are different versions of the special? Does anyone have any background or resources for this? I have been unable to find a different version but it seems odd that separate people (or different IP addresses at least) would make the same change months apart.

Talk:The Captain from Connecticut

message: I find it very surprising that Peabody marries the French governor's daughter in a civil ceremony only, with her father officiating. I understand that only a civil wedding had legal power under the Code Napoleon (which was left in force by the restored Bourbons). But she and her family are staunch royalists, so they hate the French Revolution and the usurper Napoleon, and they would have had no love for his legal reforms. It is already a stretch that they consider a commoner eligible for marrying into their family of ancient nobility. But even if I buy that, I find it highly incredible that they would do without a church wedding, and without any attempt to convert Peabody to Roman Catholicism.

thread_title:   Chronological orders 

message: This is a good WP-article, but I find the very last paragraph a bit dubious. It starts : "Although some of the stories are comparable with Doyle's earlier work, this collection is often considered a lesser entry in the Sherlock Holmes canon." There is nothing wrong with pointing out when a artist looses inspiration. Only, I read the four stories that are supposedly weaker or even written by someone else. I find all four of them very good. You don't expect that a great author in his sixties writes exactly in the same way as when he was in his thirties, do you? The support for the words "lesser entry" seems to me rather weak: an author who wrote new SH-stories instead of creating his own characters, a copy-Watson, and some unknown philologist.

Talk:The Charwoman's Shadow

message: "Everett F. Bleiler found the novel to be an "excellent" example of "a traditional fairytale [with] many nice touches."[2]" -- from the article
In what are called 'Migratory Legends" https://www.amazon.com/Migratory-Legends-Systematic-Catalogue-International/dp/0405100876, type 3000 is about people who have lost their shadow. In some cases, they have traded it as part of a deal with the Devil, although if I recall correctly, the Dunsany book has no explicit Christian content. In folktales about the "Black School" http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type3000.html the Devil (or magician) will take the student who is last to leave the school upon finishing the course, but he can be tricked into taking the student's shadow instead. Again, if I recall, the book does not explain how the charwoman lost her shadow. I am not sure how much Bleiler related this book to "a traditional fairytale" but it seems that much more could be written on it, and I offer this comment as "Original Research." 173.174.85.204 (talk) 19:34, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Talk:The Clockwork Testament, or Enderby's End

message: The article states that Enderby considers it "bloody awful". However I have just read the book and can't find that reaction anywhere in the novel. When he sees the premiere, it says, " (sexual relationship between Tom and the nun)... Enderby supposed, was all right too". Then later on the same page, "On the whole, not a bad film, with Hopkins getting a secondsworth of solo credit". Later he defends the film on the chat show, and afterwards enters a cinema to see a few scenes of the film, "Some nice swooping camerawork..... Beautiful contrived colour-contrasts.... It all seemed pretty harmless, Enderby thought."
The article on The Wreck of the Deutschland also says, "only to be duly horrified when the resulting movie bears little resemblance to either his script or to Hopkins's poem"
I disagree with this comment and the quotation that Enderby condsiders it "blood awful". I would suggest changing this to words to the effect that Enderby is ambivalent to the fact that his script has been rewritten in order to set the film during the Second World War.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.134.23.30 (talk) 12:14, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
