Talk:Edgar A. Guest

Untitled
This "folk poet" was affectionately known as "Eddie Guest." It is imperative that a redirect for "Eddie Guest" be created. Otherwise, most of the people who probably would want to look him up will be at a loss.Kdammers 06:19, 21 July 2005 (UTC) It's too bad someone would call Edgar A. Guest "mundane and overly sentimental." His poems speak to what is noble and worthy in humankind, (which is what is sadly lacking in our modern world.)Sue knuckles 18:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)1:04 P.M. 28 July, 2006

I think the quality Lemony Snicket referred to are his overtly positive- verging on the optimistic- view on life and humanity in general which, while excellent in their origin, may certainly suggest a general lack of deeper consideration and further thought to the wirter. Perhaps if you do read anything by Snicket it will be easier to comprehend his attitudes. 87.74.4.67 11:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Edgar Guest → Edgar A. Guest – Although some RMs (Talk:Ben Wattenberg or Talk:Lawrence Spivak) have successfully proposed deletion of the middle initial, pen names of authors known for using a middle initial, are depicted with the middle initial in English Wikipedia main title headers. Analogous to such names as Arthur C. Clarke, Ursula K. Le Guin, James A. Michener, Hunter S. Thompson or William T. Vollmann, Edgar A. Guest's name appears with the middle initial on the covers of his books and in various reference works. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:38, 25 August 2021 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Support per nom - Google search confirms that his books predominantly used the middle initial. User:力 (power~enwiki, π,  ν ) 00:36, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
