What was the point of reverting? The extant text ("instigated relations of a sexual nature") is laughably prudish.

I just opened this talk page to comment about that very thing. It also implies intercourse. Karlusss 23:29, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nora Joyce

She married Joyce in 1931 and after that her name was and she called herself Nora Joyce. So why is this article about Nora Barnacle? It's also no pseudonym she used. Tabasco da Gammla 10:00, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Sought solace"??

"It was rumored that she sought solace from her friend, budding English theatre starlet, Laura London" -- "Sought solace"?? What on earth does that mean? In the name of Clio, people, let's write plainly. -- 201.19.77.39 11:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Nora instigated physical stimulation"

"The nature of the initial meeting between Nora Barnacle and James Joyce remains controversial, as some claim that Nora instigated physical stimulation" Again, what? In the article, "stimulation" is linked to Handjob - an ungraceful term but at least clear. If there's any good cite on this incident one way or another, then let's just say what we mean and cite. -- 201.19.77.39 11:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Information

Nora Barnacle was born in Galway City in the Galway City Workhouse, not in Connemara. Please read the biography written by Brenda Maddox and correct the wrong information. With kindly regards --Gudrun Meyer (talk) 12:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
