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.

[edit] spelling

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".

[edit] Things to Add?

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)i think you should add why she was so important to history? Thats how they have her name —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.247.23.3 (talk) 19:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] what about her fiction?

I think this article is good. However, there is no list of Montgomery's fiction, which I find strange, as her non-fiction etc. all is listed.magicmarigold 11:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Looks like the list of Novels was lost in a revert after vandalism... I've pasted them back in safe and sound =) thistlechick 19:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

It should be noted that L.M. Montgomery wrote 22 novels, but there are only 20 on the list of novels(I counted). I have a list of novels that she wrote in Leaskdale (I got this list from the Manse itself, well, I picked it up there) and Chronicles of Avonlea and Further Chronicles of Avonlea are included in this list, and she wrote 11 of her 22 novels at Leaskdale, so I think that people should think about moving Chronicles of Avonlea and Further Chronicles of Avonlea to "Novels" from "Short story collections", even though they are collections of short stories --Leamarie411x2 01:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request Semi-protect

Due to frequent IP vandalism, I requested semi-page protection. I believe it reduce further problem of this article. Tolena (talk) 13:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I got answer of this:

Declined – There is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time. If there's significantly more disruptive activity in the future, consider relisting. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

We need to continue fight against vandalism. Tolena (talk) 16:42, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
