Talk:Bobbsey Twins

Removing unauthorized content
I've taken the liberty of removing the recently added "bibliography", as it was obviously borrowed in its entirety from here. Also, as the previous entry in this talk page says, please don't remove the cleanup tag until there is a consensus that the article is no longer in need of cleanup.

Gender
Um, dumb question, but if it wasn't for the image, from the names, it wouldn't be clear to me if the twins were boys or girls. :) Psu256 (talk) 23:11, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've updated the article. Both sets of twins were fraternal boy-and-girl twins (to make sure that every child reader had a character to identify with, no doubt). - Jason A. Quest (talk) 02:40, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Authorship
In 1966 I met Harriet Axelrod, who was a friend of my college roommate. She gave me a copy of the book she had written, #59 (The Bobbsey Twins and their Camel Adventure), which she autographed for me as Laura Lee Hope/Harriet Stratemeyer Adams/Nancy Axelrod. Since the authorship web site credits her with #68 as her first book, I conclude that its attributions should be taken with a grain of salt. C. Cerf (talk) 15:12, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Wanderer Bobbsey Twins
The New Bobbsey Twins was actually the third series (at least I would consider it the third) because the second series was published under the Wanderer imprint that ran from around 1980-1896 and were numbered 1-14 after G&D lost the right to publish new books. Interesting that Bobbsey Twins started from #1 while Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys continued where they left off. I don't see any mention of these books; is there a reason for leaving this out of the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markus60431 (talk • contribs) 14:24, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Where?
The article fails to mention what country these books were published and popular in.

And I was genuinely curious to find out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.162.209 (talk) 21:45, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

How long was it their longest-running series
A recent edit tried to claim that the Twins were the syndicate's longest-running series for three-quarters of a century. Now, that's how long the Twins ran, but it's not how long it was the syndicate's longest-running series, however we interpret it. If we're talking longest-running current series (and going off of this list as reference, they didn't become that until the Rover Boys ended in 1926, and stopped being that when their own series ended in 1979, giving them 53 years., If we mean their longest running series ever, since the Rover Boys lasted 27 years, the Twins did not meet that mark and take the title until 1931, and they lost that title when the Hardy Boys hit 75 in 2002, so 71 years. I am undoing the recent edit; I'm not in the mood to find the right phrasing to present either of these claims at the moment, but will undo the erroneous one. --Nat Gertler (talk) 23:42, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
