This template was originally added to the article before somebody shunted it here. I think it's a bit daft. Whether or not you agree, you might like to know that it is listed at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion. -- Hoary 06:53, 2005 May 11 (UTC)
[edit] Essay title
Beerbohm's contribution to the first number of The Yellow Book was actually entitled "In Defense of Cosmetics." ("In Praise of Cosmetics" or "l'Eloge du Maquillage" was a famous article by Baudelaire.) Beerbohm republished the essay in The Works of Max Beerbohm as "The Pervasion of Rouge," and it is more widely known by that name.--Gnunberg 02:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Saturday Review
The article says Beerbohm took over from Shaw as drama critic for the Saturday Review in 1898. The link for "Saturday Review" leads to an American periodical which was founded in 1924. Going to the disambiguation page for "Saturday Review" shows a link for "Saturday Review, a former English periodical." Clicking on this page yields "Article not found." So, this Beerbohm article links to the wrong page, because there is only a link, but no article, for the correct page. Either the link should be removed, or the correct page should be created as a stub. Prignillius 19:12, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, either of your two suggestions would have been an improvement (and thank you for pointing out the problem). But I took a third route: altering the link in accordance with that in the disambig page. Offhand I don't know anything about the (London) Saturday Review, but I'm sure that somebody else will eventually get around to writing it up: when he or she does click on either of those red links and kick off the needed article, both links to it will turn blue. -- Hoary 23:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
