[edit] James Thomson disambiguation

Which James Thomson is referred to? James Thomson (Seasons) or James Thomson (B.V.)? WouterVH 22:44, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reginald Scot?

Would the "Reginald Scot" referred to here be Reginald Scott, 16th-century author of the banned-and-burned "A Discovery of Witchcraft", which explained how witches didn't exist and it was all really just prestidigitation? DS 13:04, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Personal comment

"(though not necessarily justly so)" - isn't this striding rather clumsily into the realm of literary criticism? If he's remembered for writing for children, that's how he's remembered. "Hitler is remembered mainly for killing a lot of people (though not necessarily justly so)."

[edit] Come Hither

It seems to me that devoting such a large portion of this article to a single anthology—in a section that consists mainly of an absurdly long list of authors represented in the work—is unwise and detracts from the encyclopedic tone of the article. Surely such an attractive writer, about whom much more could be said, deserves better treatment. Is there anyone who agrees with me? I'm reluctant to delete this section and expand the article in other directions without some support from other editors. Deor 03:00, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Go for it. The vast list of names is dreadful and should go asap. If people want to do something like that then they should start an entry for it and listify it but it has no place here and the entry suffers badly for its presence. I think most reasonable people would say for you to go ahead and take it out and expand the entry. (Emperor 18:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Walter de la Mare

This article does not say much of the poet himself, and his personal life.--Yamenah 18:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
