Pronunciation

The pronunciation guide (thorough) applies only to certain English dialects. Surely a phonetic guide would be more appropriate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.228.66 (talk) 17:16, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It makes little sense to me, neither the bit about "thorough" sounding like "furrow" (although they rhyme in certain English dialects at least), nor the pronounciation of "Tho-row with the h pronounced" (which means...?). 109.176.207.49 (talk) 19:36, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template boxes

I'm confused as to why there is a template box for Gandhi at the bottom of the page but none for Thoreau himself; specifically of the type that lists his works, influences, etc. Gulivar (talk) 13:15, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a box for Thoreau to the right in the "Works" section. -Moorlock (talk) 17:38, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thoreau, NM

The small town of Thoreau, New Mexico was named after Henry David Thoreau. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.131.29.246 (talk) 20:21, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 January 2014

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Henry David Thoreau. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Under "Name pronunciation and physical appearance", the neckbeard sentence/paragraph claim that "he insisted many women found attractive" is richly deserving of a ^{[page needed]} because it is a decidedly uncharacteristic claim. 67.169.208.160 (talk) 21:02, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
