Talk:Lucy Maud Montgomery

message: There's a lot of weird, irrelevant information in this article, such as this sentence: "In Victorian Canada, premarital sex was rare for women (it was common for unmarried men seeking sex to visit brothels)." There are also a lot of instances where information is repeated. This article definitely needs to be cleaned up. Ohitsina  —Preceding undated comment added 16:58, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Irrelevant information 

message: There seems to be some confusion about the spelling of LM Montgomery's name (Maud or Maude?) Which spelling should be used? Joele Gilbert
:amazon.com has Maude.  -- Zoe
I think it was common for individuals to use alternate spellings of their names. We should have a re-direct set up from Lucy Maud Montgomery to the more common spelling. Joele Gilbert
Rather than many of the books having their own small stub page (eg the Blue Castle, Emily of New Moon), wouldn't it make more sense to put the info on those pages on this LM Montgomery page? Anne of Green Gables, because it is so large, could still have its own page.
The author's correct name is "Lucy Maud Montgomery," per published copies of her works.
No... the correct name is "Lucy Maud Montgomery".  It is stated throughout her journals that she was Maude without an "e". None of her published works used the name "Lucy Maud Montgomery", they were all published under the name "L.M. Montgomery".
:You will recall that Anne, of Green Gables, would always say, "Anne, with an 'e'." and this may help. Just say "LM" and leave it at that. -- Narnia.Gate7 (talk) 00:34, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  spelling 

message: Should there be details about her husband's insanity at all? Plus her published journals aren't included in the works listed... Is it inappropiate to include how she viewed writing, P.E. Island, etc? Especially her obsession with words, how to speall and use names. For example, she hated the name Lucy seeing it sounded wrong.... Might be interesting to add social activity she did because if I remember right she was very active during the first World War socially helping out, etc.--Hitsuji Kinno 22:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

: Yeah, unfortunately The Globe & Mail had a major site redesign a couple of months ago and broke the links. Luckily, I have been able to find the articles and updated the links. Thanks for the note! DoubleBlue (talk) 02:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  broken links 

message: "The great increase of her writings in Leaskdale is the result of her need to escape the hardships of real life." is cited, but the sentence itself is speculation that doesn't cite a source. Perhaps "According to ____, the great increase of her writings in Leaksdale..." ?? Otherwise we're assuming we know what LMM was thinking. Or, if the source cited DOES say something to the effect that LMM SAID that it was escapism, that should be in there. Don't want to delete this portion of the entry, but it should probably be edited.

thread_title:  opinion, not fact 

message: I enjoyed reading this page, and I found many interesting informations in it.
However, I see in this article something that may be a kind of self contradiction, or may be felt by the reader as one.
Following are two quotes (the next two paragraphs) from this wiki page, and after that I discuss about this "contradiction" in more details.
During her teaching years, Montgomery had numerous love interests. As a highly fashionable young woman, she enjoyed "slim, good looks,"[6] and she was the attention of several young men. In 1889, Montgomery began a relationship with a Cavendish boy named Nate Lockhart. To Montgomery, the relationship was merely a humorous and witty friendship. It ended abruptly when Montgomery refused his marriage proposal.
In 1893, following the completion of her grade school education in Cavendish, she attended Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown for a teacher's license. Completing the two-year program in one year, she obtained her teaching certificate.
How is it possible that "During her teaching years... In 1889...  (she was about 15 by the way, being born in 1874)
if she completed he teacher's license in 1893?
What is to be amended? Are the years false? Or is it the "During her teaching years" that is inappropriate? 
Or something else? (My mother tongue is not english), so I'm sorry if I'm wrong about that.

thread_title:  Perhaps restrict changes for the day of the Google doodle, Nov 30? 

message: Spelling correction needed.
Towards the end of the second paragraph under "Early Life" section, the word "liscence" is an incorrect spelling for "license". See https://www.google.com/search?q=license. 
Sentence with the misspelling copy-pasted here:
"In 1893, following the completion of her grade school education in Cavendish, she attended Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown, and obtained a teacher's liscence."
