[edit] Question

Should "Lady" be in the title of this page - "Antonia Fraser" is what appears on her books and is how she is generally known. Timrollpickering 19:30, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It is usual Wikipedia policy to give a subjects full name & titles, etc in the first line of an article. Philip Cross 18:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Boadicea or Boudica

The article mentions Boadicea, shouldn't this be Boudica (or Boudicca)? Apepper 23:20, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Wives of Henry VIII

The correct version of the title is The Wives of Henry VIII. That's what my copy's called, and that's how it's given on the book's page on LibraryThing. If The Six Wives of Henry VIII is indeed an alternate title, feel free to add it back, but as an additional title identified as an alternative.  — AnnaKucsma   (Talk to me!) 18:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

That is not actually correct. That is the title of the 1st American (paperback?) ed. published in 1992. There are many other (22) editions acc. to WorldCat. It was published in the UK as The Six Wives of Henry VIII (London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1992); you need to do a more thorough search, using proper book catalogues, such as the publishers' own websites, WorldCat, the LOC, Amazon.co.uk, etc. The source that you cite "librarything.com" is not sufficient and does not verify your statement that The Six Wives of Henry VIII is an "alternate title." It is actually the other way around; the 1st American ed. is the alternate title; possibly for copyright reasons in 1992-93. Alison Weir's book has the same title: The Six Wives of Henry VIII (see note added at top of that article now); and there is a PBS series on the subject as well w/ the same title. Given the recent Showtime series (The Tudors), one does not want to make mistakes with the titles of the book by each of these authors. --NYScholar (talk) 11:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

See editions discussed in the following Books and Collectibles site: The Wives of Henry VIII, and also Books and Collectibles site: The Six Wives of Henry VIII, both of which list several of the UK editions; the American ed. followed the first hardback ed. published first in UK. --NYScholar (talk) 11:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] photo deleted; copyright violation

The photo someone uploaded to Wikipedia Commons is a copyright violation; if one clicked on the image, its description says there is no author or information given about it; it was apparently an image stolen (plagiarized) from the following URL, which itself appears to be a copyright violation, [1], or others like it accessible via Google. See WP:NOR and WP:Copyvio and their related links. --NYScholar (talk) 10:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

The credit to the photograph in the jamd.com webpage is: "(Photo by Baron/Getty Images) by Baron Sunday January 1st, 1950 reference: 2663401". That is a copyright-protected property and should not be uploaded first to flickr and then to Wikipedia Commons w/o any proper licensing information allowing it to be given a GNU free documentation license. It is not in the "public domain." It belongs to Getty Images and the photographer Baron. This image copyright violation needs reporting. --NYScholar (talk) 21:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
