Nursery rhymes
The explanation of nursery rhymes at the end of the first section of "Synopsis and structure" is an awkward aside. I added a link to nursery rhyme which should render it unnecessary. Long Shrift (talk) 01:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. That was the only part of the article that seemed awkward to me when I read it. It should either be better integrated or removed, IMO, as it does seem like an awkward digression. Kaldari (talk) 17:42, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So removed. Long Shrift (talk) 11:38, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations on the DYK!
Well done. :)  Enigma msg  20:31, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

So...
I'm surprised there's no mention of Iona and Peter Opie's plausible argument that the "Queen of Hearts" poem is the original and the verses about the other queens a later addition. Unfortunately I can't lay hands on my copy of their book right now.... 91.105.3.74 (talk) 23:00, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Audio version
I was trying to record my voice reading the poem, but my voice is a little high-pitched - and I can't find any WMA - to - OGG converters (I'm in Windows, the sound recorder crashes in Linux) Could anyone try? -- Misterλ (TλLK) 00:52, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have put up a rudimentary one. See what you think, and tell me if there is anything I could improve.
 * You might want to try downloading Audacity, a great sound recorder and editor that is licensed under the GPL. NW ( Talk ) 01:28, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Knave - captialisation
I agree that the first letter in Knave as in 'Knave of Hearts' should be capitalised, but other references to 'Knave' I believe should be in lower case as in 'knave' as it's a word meaning male servant. Anyone else agree? 124.254.78.121 (talk) 04:44, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Juice Newton song
Is it worth bringing up the song by Juice Newton called "Queen of Hearts" as a Legacy item or something? Just asking. Shocking Blue (talk) 09:54, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Never mind; it is in the disambiguation page, so that's enough. Shocking Blue (talk) 13:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
