Things you can do


Children's Books - 'The Doll's House' and 'Tottie, The story of a Dolls House' are the same book. The second one is a paperback version published in the 1980's. Katcocat (talk) 19:18, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What does "Dutch" in Dutch doll mean? Is it a certain type of doll, or is it a doll produced in the Netherlands? Freako 15:49, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The answer is now incorporated in the article. Aloysius

Rename?

Surely this page should be called Rumer Godden, per MOS:BIO? It was her professional name and the name by which she was best known. JackyR 22:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lamb House

The article about Lamb House, states that Godden lived there. Can anyone add when this was? Dr. Dan 19:31, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd guess she was born there, given she was born in Sussex. But this page could certainly do with more sources, which would also answer this sort of Q. JackyR | Talk 22:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I tell a lie: she was born in Eastbourne. More sources required! JackyR | Talk 22:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Greengage summer.JPG

Image:Greengage summer.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Works

I've tried to improve the list of her works by separating non-fiction and poetry from novels and stories. I've used the Anne Chisholm biography as a basis, but also consulted www.rumergodden.com and Amazon. The list of non-fiction and poetry is incomplete but I've decided not to add other books until I know something about them. Thursday's children is listed as a children's book in the biography but in her novels on the website. Since most of her children's books are illustrated and this one is probably not I've left it with the novels. St Jerome and the Lion is listed as non-fiction in the bography and a children's book on the website. It is an illustrated poem so I put it with the children's books. 12:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugobarnaby (talk • contribs)


Pen name

The first sentence is this: 

"Margaret Rumer Godden, OBE (December 10, 1907 – November 8, 1998), was an English author of over 60 fiction and nonfiction books under the pen name of Rumer Godden." 

1. Not using the first name, does NOT constitute a penname!! I'm sure many of us know folks who go by their middle and last names, especially in cases where father and son share the same name. We certainly wouldn't call that a pseudonym, would we???  
2. Second part of sentence, lacks a verb. (Give me a break, I haven't had any English lessons in at least forty years!!)

I would assume the author had intended, "... nonfiction books <written> under the <pen> name..." Gl1200phil (talk) 00:22, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
