Middle name and 'Robert Galbraith'.
Does the 'K.' in her initials stand for anything? Why did she choose a male name as her pseudonym? Seems so wrong. Because she's female, of course.--193.163.223.192 (talk) 16:32, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Unclear to me
I don't know what this means: and read for a B.A. in French and Classics at the University of Exeter. Do you mean she studied a bachelor of arts in French and Classics at the university of exeter? Then why not just say that instead of saying 'she read for'. What does that even mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.216.136.77 (talk) 05:39, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
Fixed. I changed it to "earned a B.A. in French and Classics". Other sources confirm that she earned the degree, not just "read for" it. RexxiA —Preceding undated comment added 22:08, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

change "Joanne Rowling" to Joanne Kathleen Rowling Death Spectre31 (talk) 14:06, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
- No, because that is not her name. There's an entire section about it. Serendipodous 14:18, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
Publications
Are the Harry Potter books something that you would call children's books? I don't know, if this was discussed before, but isn't Young adult fiction the correct description? ZeR0101MiNt (talk) 16:31, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

In the first paragraph of the article, it states that she has sold over 400 million copies worldwide. This is an outdated figure from 2008; she has recently surpassed 500 million total sales for the Harry Potter series, and the article should reflect this. Here is the most reliable source I could find: https://www.thebookseller.com/news/harry-potter-books-sales-reach-500-million-worldwide-723556. That source says they received their figure from the publishing house. I could not find the figure stated directly from the publishing house themselves.

she's dead
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 05:01, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Add philanthropist to occupation
Her occupation should include "philanthropist." I'm sure it was just an oversight given that her Lumos foundation is referenced in the article. Here is another famous living person who happens to be a male whose occupation also includes "philanthropist".
