Talk:Edward Eager

Copyvio fixed
Copyvio fixed by simply removing the offending quote of the review, which had been there since 2006... hmm. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 08:00, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup designation removed
From July 2009 through February 2010, I added many citations and source materials, some of them secondary, some original so I removed cleanup designation. Luxmissus 14 February 2010 —Preceding undated comment added 22:19, 14 February 2010 (UTC).

What exactly does this mean?

 * Good question. Three years later we have improved it cosmetically, from "#1" to "No. 1" semiautomatically and now, by my hand, to "number one". --P64 (talk) 17:42, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Boucher's review
It will be valuable here(*) to read the 1954 FSF review for more information.

Presumably what we now quote does "compare the novel to Nesbit" as we say, meaning Eager to Nesbit and Half Magic to her children's fantasy novels. Better we should link at least one of them.

What if anything does Boucher say anything about "the british compliments" (sic), the main point of one anonymous revision (diff) that I just reverted in that respect.

What we now quote is appropriate to the body of this article, moreso than to the mini-section about the novel under review, and barely adequate to amplify what we say at Edith Nesbit about her legacy. Probably the review includes something specific to Half Magic and something more than adequate for use at Nesbit.

P.S. Boucher was the founding editor of FSF. --P64 (talk) 17:42, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
