Talk:Mary Higgins Clark

Comment
I have to write a research paper for my pre-ap english class and I have not found sufficient information on Mary Higgins Clark. If anyone knows any good sites for information on her, please help!

He Sees You When You're Sleeping
Is there a reason why this is on the list twice? Anchoress 03:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Uncertainty about year of birth
The year of birth varies between the translations of the article. Search the web doesn't quickly resolve the issue either. She seems to be born somewhere between 1926 en 1931. A reliable source is needed. Matthijs Sypkens Smit, 24 October 2006.

Clark's autobiography lists her birth year as 1927. Karanacs 16:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

GA Review comments
I have just a few minor corrections of note. In the Books section:
 * 1) Voices in the Coal Bin should be italicized in the 1993 listing for Milk Run and Stowaway.
 * 2) There is a missing closing paranthesis from the end of the listing for Mount Vernon Love Story. One should be listed after Aspire to the Heavens.

In the Television adaptations section:
 * 1) Clark's appearances are typed out slightly inconsistantly. Under Remember Me, the word "appears" is capitalized while under While My Pretty One Sleeps it is not. Also the word "starring" is capitalized under A Cry in the Night.
 * 2) Clark's first and maiden name are used twice in this section. In the rest of the article, save the very first mention, only her last name has been used. This should be edited to remove those two usages for consistancy.

I have a few suggestions as well.
 * 1) I would move the short stories out of the Books section completely to a separate section or subsection.
 * 2) There should be a wikilink to the article on True Confessions.

Otherwise, I will say that the article is very sound in writing. As a reader of her books, I found the whole article interesting to read, easy to follow and well written. I will pass your GA nomination and make the few minor corrections I listed above. Imzadi1979 07:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Reversions of changes from IPs beginning with 214
I have twice reverted almost identical changes from IP addresses. This is due primarily to the changes introducing violations of the WP:MOS. As this article is a Good Article, we need to be very careful that we do not willfully violate the standards. To that end, please do not add the following: Thanks. Karanacs 21:58, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Single-year wikilinks (e.g. 1949), per Manual of Style (links)
 * references to the subject of the article as "Mary" or "Higgins" or "Mary Higgins" or even "Mary Clark", per WP:MOSBIO
 * Don't insert line breaks between the starting tag and its text, as this can confuse future editors.
 * It is acceptable to spell out numbers that are two words or fewer.

We'll Meet Again
They made a film version - made-for-TV, I think - of We'll Meet Again. I am watching it this very second. It stars Laura Leighton and Brandy Ledford and was directed by Michael Storey. It goes for 100 minutes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.3.37 (talk) 18:12, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

2004 You Belong to Me
I believe 2004 You Belong to Me needs to be removed. I believe the 1998 You Belong to Me is the correct one. Mommadealio (talk) 03:19, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

"divorced or annulled"
Unless annulment is a civil legal term, we can presume her second marriage was annulled, since she remarried, which would be illegal otherwise. Given her involvement in her religion and the award from the Pope, can we presume it was also annulled in a religious court? And is that relevant to a Wiki article? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 01:45, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, annullment is a legal term and is not the same as a divorce. She could remarry after either an annullment or divorce (or, of course, the death of her spouse). We should never presume in an encyclopedia. It may have been the case that she got a civil divorce and a religious annullment. In any case, since we don't know which, it's arguably better to say nothing, and it doesn't seem like a critical detail. I reworded the section to eliminate the mention of how her second marriage ended. Vroo (talk) 06:43, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * thanks. and I meant "was divorced" instead of "was annulled", but you were too good to mention it. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 04:49, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Mary Higgins Clark award
Simon and Schuster has continued to sponsor the Mary Higgins Clark award past its original 10-year time frame. Should the reference to the 10-year window just be deleted, or should the extension be noted? (The winners and nominees can be found in The Edgars database, but I haven't found a statement by S&S or MWA about how long they expect to continue.) Joecipsurprise (talk) 21:14, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

No response in over a week, so I just deleted the reference. Joecipsurprise (talk) 18:43, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
