"Turn of the Screw" - "friends"
You're right! For 62 years, from 1961 until this moment, I thought it was "friend"! It's "friends" in the score too, so I checked the orginal cast recording [], and sure enough Jennifer Vyvyan sings "friends" too, but Joan Cross interrupts her (as per the score). Do you think, when Mrs Grose says "Him an injury? I won't believe it!", she means he can't be an injury (in some archaic usage of "injury") or he can't do an injury? Since it's "friends", "be" seems more likely. -- Hugh7 (talk) 07:08, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from The Years into Virginia Woolf. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 20:07, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

April 2024
Hi there. Regarding your recent edits on Problemista, particularly And please log in -- I don't know who I'm talking to. and Oh good, an edit war with an anonymous IP. Please keep in mind to assume good faith, a single revert of your changes hardly constitutes an edit war. I don't believe the editor is being disruptive, I believe (to the best of their ability) they are trying to abide by the policies about reliable sources, but they perhaps are not familiar with WP:ROTTENTOMATOES. Also, the wording you chose may make an editor feel uncomfortable for wishing to stay anonymous, which is their right. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, whether they choose to create an account or not. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
