Redundancy

[edit]

"Thus, Point Counter Point could be best described as a novel of ideas." Redundant? I'm removing this. Ph33rspace (talk) 00:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why redundant? If someone doesn't know it is, then it may be a helpful characterisation. Ammimajus (talk) 20:01, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy

[edit]

This article needs to be rewritten without the author's opinion included. --24.92.28.176 05:52, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Marjorie is Walter Bidlake's wife. He is cheating on her with Lucy Tantamount. Marjorie isn't cheating on anyone. She did divorce someone before the book started. I'm reading the book now and will try to do a bit of a punch up on this. Though because it is a novel of ideas a summary is hard. Squanderdalfast 09:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure? I thought Marjorie's husband didn't divorce her, for religious reasons. - mako 21:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't change it. I just finished it. I am going to look for the point where it says she was married. Yes, you are right. She is married to Carling, (last name.) I'm sorry for the confusion. It is stated on the first page of the book. Squanderdalfast 19:52, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She didn't divorce her husband because he was being stubborn and wouldn't do it.

I just finished reading this book and am not aware that John Bidlake died, although he had wanted to at one point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.215.98.147 (talk) 03:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rare?

[edit]

I found a copy of this book at an estate sale. It's a first edition, printed in New York by Double Day and Doran Company 1928. Any info on it would be greatly appreciated.

Roman á clef

[edit]

I'm going to attempt to update this--with sources--over the weekend. Anyway, my main concern is that this article should reflect the fact that Huxley's characters are all based on real people. Rampion=D.H. Lawrence, Burlap=John Middleton Murry, Lucy Tantamount=Nancy Cunard, etc. Like I said, I'll do it myself, but if you happen upon this and would like to help, my thanks in advance.

Fair use rationale for Image:Pointcounterpoint.jpg

[edit]

Image:Pointcounterpoint.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Potent Counter-Potent

[edit]

There is a fur in heraldry called "Potent Counter-Potent" in which the heads of crutches (potent is an old name for a crutch) touch each in the centre of the shield. Perhaps the idea of mutually supporting cripples is in the title too. Ammimajus (talk) 20:04, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mosley

[edit]

The introductory section says that Everard Webley is modelled on Sir Oswald Mosley, but later it's shown that he wasn't, and couldn't have been. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:5602:2301:11E8:C09D:DE04:247B (talk) 22:46, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
