Talk:John Murray (publisher)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Add external link

Please add a link to <http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/>, which is editing and publishing all of the correspondence of Charles Darwin. John Murray was a significant correspondent of Darwin. Eadp 14:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

The JM website link seems to go to something that has nothing to do with the case.

[edit] Copyvio

I have some concerns about today's edits. They seem to have largely copied and pasted content from here:

• [1]

Could I ask that the most blatant copyvios be removed? --Mais oui! 19:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I removed all the copyvio material added by user 128.205.150.52 (talk · contribs) but retained the references. — Athænara ✉ 20:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. --Mais oui! 08:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Melville item

"One must also add that John Murray was one of the first publishers of Herman Melville.After his manuscript of a book based on his adventures in the Marquesas was rejected by Harper and Brothers in New York it was accepted by John Murray in London. This "Narrative of Four Months among the Natives of Valley of the Marquesas Islands" was later published as "Typee" by Wiley and Putman of New York."

The above was added to the John Murray archives section of the article by user 67.164.114.68 (talk · contribs). I moved it here as references which verify it are needed. If it is verified it should perhaps be in a different section. — Athaenara 22:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
