Talk:Bulldog Drummond

unsupported statement
Although the lede states an influence on the hard boiled noir-style detectives appearing in contemporary American fiction.; there is no example of this being the case in the main body of the article. Doc Savage is not a noir-style detective nor is he contemporary.Nitpyck (talk) 06:18, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Last book 1954 Coasters's song 1957.
"Despite the outdated images presented in the original books, Bulldog Drummond still appears as a popular culture reference. He is one of the heroes mentioned in The Coasters' 1957 hit "Searchin'":"

A song popular half a century ago doesn't match with the phrase "still appears as a pop cultural ref." Not sure how to re-write this. Nitpyck (talk) 23:53, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Infobox....
As per my edit summary, disputed infobox discussions really belong on the talk page. The MOS guidance is at Manual of Style/Infoboxes, btw. Hchc2009 (talk) 19:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Article looks much better without the infobox. Why must we have this sort of thing on every TFA?♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:35, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you both - and apologies for not starting the talk page thread myself, but I've been tied up for much of the day at a family funeral and only checking intermittently on my mobile for vandalism on the McNeile TFA. As I managed to point out in the edit summary of one of my reverted edits, an infobox isn't obligatory by any means, and a discussion over the benefits and problems is the best way to sort this out for a long term and stable solution. - SchroCat (talk) 23:34, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Quite understand - families should always come first. 07:18, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Recent edits
u|William Patrick Maynard, welcome to Wikipedia, and I am sorry that your recent edits were reverted. There was good reasoning behind that, and I'll try and run through some of the main reasons why these were not considered to be an improvement. Firstly what you added needs to be covered by WP:RELIABLE SOURCES, even saying that a book if an "affectionate spoof" needs to have something that confirms that. Secondly, "affectionate spoof" is not encyclopaedic language, and we aim to be neutral and balanced in what we write. Thirdly, we aim to be as precise as possible, and things like "intermittently between the 1960s and the present" isn't as precise as the existing phrase. Thanks. - SchroCat (talk) 18:01, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

The Strand Magazine
"After an unsuccessful one-off appearance as a policeman in The Strand Magazine..." Can anyone add the date of the issue concerned and the title of the piece ? RGCorris (talk) 12:04, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The source does not clarify unfortunately - just the same info that we have here. - SchroCat (talk) 12:14, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
