Congratulations!

[edit]

On another success, and a jolly good read! Amandajm (talk) 06:45, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hotwells

[edit]

Hotwells was never a 'town'. It was a small village that was quickly subsumed into Bristol and since the C18 has been a district of that city. 86.143.69.7 (talk) 12:54, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would the best word to describe it be "district," then? Awadewit (talk) 02:04, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image

[edit]

Is the second picture correct? The caption and alternative text says it is the title page of Rousseau's "Julie, or the New Heloise", but the actual picture seems to be the title page of Rousseau's "Lettres de Deux Amans". The words "Julie" and "Heloise" do not appear in the picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.118.151.0 (talk) 23:16, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it is correct. Notice that by the third edition here the more familiar title appears. Note that the subtitle "Lettres de deux amans, habitans d'une petite ville au pied des Alpes" is the same one that appears on the first edition's title page. If you find more information, please let us know! Awadewit (talk) 02:04, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Featured article review needed

[edit]

This very old FA (2007) contains uncited text, unattributed opinions, or original research, and does not meet current WP:WIAFA standards. Unless someone is able to correct this, the article should be submitted to Featured article review. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:05, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Following up on this notice: I see that original research tags are still present in the article. I also wonder if the reception section can be updated with more recent opinions and critiques of the work. I also think the large block quotes should be summarised and reduced. Is anyone interested in working on this or should it go to FAR? @SandyGeorgia: Z1720 (talk) 19:33, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Z1720 FAR, but usual issue of being at my limit ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:14, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
