Talk:Anne Herbert, Countess of Pembroke

Dashing men of action
Is this a direct quote? If so, quotation marks should be used, otherwise it's a peacock sentence that sounds like it was directly lifted from one of the most dreadful of the 1970s bodice-rippers. Honestly, this is an encyclopedia, not a blog.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:50, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually it came from the newly published book by Linda Porter. Wasn't completely a 'direct quote'. I don't know why you are always picking on my writing style -- it comes from a source, not just out of the blue. Have you read any of Catherine Parr's biographies? This is why a lot of people are hesitant on writing anything on here because we are always being harped on. My mission here is just to get the facts out which people all over the internet look to Wikipedia for, which most of the time are wrong. I love how our world has turned into the Wikipedia generation... instead of doing their own research, the first place they look is here. -- Lady Meg (talk) 22:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I wasn't picking on your writing style as I hadn't a clue which editor added it. Dashing men of action is too peacock-like for an encyclopedia, but I am not criticising YOU, just your choice of words. Seeing as you have a source, all you have to do is rephrase it. What are the exact words Porter uses? As to your question regarding Catherine Parr - yes, I've read bios on her as well as Henry's other five wives as my study of Tudor history has spanned four decades.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:43, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Portrait
The note to the portrait caption says "Katherine Parr's biographer Susan E. James is of the opinion that the subject of this Holbein drawing is Anne Parr". Could you please specify where she says that? I assume you mean the book Catherine Parr: Henry VIII's Last Love, but the google book preview does not include this drawing or any mention of it. Or was it in some other book or scholarly paper? Thanks in advance! Primaler (talk) 10:16, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I searched again and found the quote. Primaler (talk) 10:57, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
