Talk:H. G. Wells

racism and eugenics
I am surprised that there is no mention of his racist beliefs or views on eugenics. https://thecritic.co.uk/h-g-wells-must-fall/ https://reason.com/2002/03/26/eugenics-rides-a-time-machine/ 2600:4040:7844:3A00:B435:F8EA:C08B:829 (talk) 05:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I completely agree, it's pretty remarkable how the entry has been sanitized of this stuff. From the Guardian:
 * "HG Wells could not contain his enthusiasm, hailing eugenics as the first step toward the removal “of detrimental types and characteristics” and the “fostering of desirable types” in their place." See https://www.theguardian.com/politics/from-the-archive-blog/2019/may/01/eugenics-founding-fathers-british-socialism-archive-1997

British English
The article is written in British English, but the form 'H.G.' is used instead of 'HG?'


 * British English uses initial letters for first names, separated by full stops and spaces, like most other varieties? The important point is that he was never known as "Herbert George". Martinevans123 (talk) 12:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
