Add external link

Please add a link to <http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/>, which is editing and publishing all of the correspondence of Charles Darwin. John Murray was a significant correspondent of Darwin. Eadp 14:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The JM website link seems to go to something that has nothing to do with the case.

Copyvio

I have some concerns about today's edits. They seem to have largely copied and pasted content from here:

[1]

Could I ask that the most blatant copyvios be removed? --Mais oui! 19:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed all the copyvio material added by user 128.205.150.52 (talk · contribs) but retained the references. — Athænara ✉ 20:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --Mais oui! 08:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Melville item

"One must also add that John Murray was one of the first publishers of Herman Melville.After his manuscript of a book based on his adventures in the Marquesas was rejected by Harper and Brothers in New York it was accepted by John Murray in London. This "Narrative of Four Months among the Natives of Valley of the Marquesas Islands" was later published as "Typee" by Wiley and Putman of New York."

The above was added to the John Murray archives section of the article by user 67.164.114.68 (talk · contribs). I moved it here as references which verify it are needed. If it is verified it should perhaps be in a different section. — Athaenara 22:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Murray the publisher vs. John Murray the publishing house

Before someone reverts my edit again: I saw that the two have been mixed together here and I don't know how the best way is to fix it. The article talks about both. I've come across other articles that mentioned John Murray either as the publisher or the house and both link here. I've not touch any since this one needs to be fixed first. I don't know how many article link here so is it even possible to fix it? If so I think we should have two separate articles. One on the publisher and one on the publishing house.--Nocturnalsleeper (talk) 13:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
