Talk:Jean Conan Doyle

Untitled
I removed the line about inheriting her title from her father, as according to a biography she did not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dowew (talk • contribs)

Star Trek and licensing
The page "Ship in a Bottle (TNG episode)" contradicts the information presented here in regards to Star Trek. I don't know anything about the subject, can someone fix this? Archtemplar 23:10, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * As you point out, the Moriarty character was used again in Ship in a Bottle...however, that was a sixth season episode. The episode in question came from the second season called "Elementary, Dear Data"... from "The Star Trek the Next Generation Companion" (this bit was evidently copied to this book from a older source considering the SIAB episode :Sadly, the popular Holmes mileu will likely not be used again on TNG for legal reasons.  After this segment aired, Paramount received notice that the Arthur Conan Doyle estate still owns a percentage of the right to the Holmes character.  After nearly a century, and would require a usage fee if it was ever used again. (pg 69).

It continues with "Ship in a Bottle" : After three years, it turned out that the perceived taboo in doing more Sherlock Holmes stories--first laid down in Season 3 following the first Moriarty story a year earlier--had all been a mistake! "Apparently the Arthur Conan Doyle estate was irritated with Paramount because of (the movie) Young Sherlock Holmes and they said no more, ever" Taylor said. "Well, as in many walks of life it was never say never again: to my amazement they were willing to give us the characters for a very reasonable license fee.". -- evidently Dame Jean, or possibly her children were angered that they had used Moriarty without consulting them, but apparently enjoyed the Star Trek episode. Hope that clears things up. Dowew 02:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Second daughter
We call her the second daughter of Sir Arthur and report that she with brothers Adrian and Denis, his children by second wife, "inherited the copyrights with the estate when their mother died in 1940."

At Adrian Conan Doyle we report "two half-siblings, sister Mary and brother Kingsley." I suppose that Mary was the implied first daughter, she and Kingsley were the children of Sir Arthur and his first wife, and they inherited no copyrights.

That is, I infer, supposing there were no other siblings who died too young to be mentioned here and there. --P64 (talk) 20:00, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

image added
Hi, in response to WikiProject Women's History requested editing, I added the image of Lady Jean Conan Doyle. The source is from Wiki Commons  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Llljoyce (talk • contribs) 23:18, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

This is a picture of Conan Doyle with his wife Jean, not his daughter Jean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.8.159.171 (talk) 11:41, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Exactly. The picture's caption reads: "Sir Arthur and Lady Jean Conan Doyle, c.1920." I'll remove the picture. / Ternarius (talk) 10:05, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
