WP:CP discussion
- Mrs Beeton from [1]. Ben-w 00:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- I don't see any evidence that www.mrsbeeton.com existed before before 22 September 2005, when the link was added to Wikipedia. According to Google, we are the only site that links to www.mrsbeeton.com is Wikipedia. Looking at the history, this page evolved into its current form. All indications point to www.mrsbeeton.com copying from us.--Prosfilaes 00:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
My revert
Why link to History of England? - History of the United Kingdom would have been more more relevant, but in any case both are inappropriate to the context. The link to United Kingdom was fine. I see no reason to unlink Germany which gives context to Heidelberg. Jooler 08:59, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- What's helpful about British? I don't see any reason why anyone would be helped by clicking on British and being taken to a page about the United Kingdom. It doesn't help at all. Germany gives context to Heidelberg, but that doesn't mean it should be linked. If you're looking for context on Heidelberg, look at Heidelberg. I think both these links are overlinking, since neither of them link to anything even close to being useful in the context.--Prosfilaes 18:59, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
"Cookbook"
As an Englishwoman, I have always heard "Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management" simply referred to as "Mrs Beeton". "Cookbook" is, as far as I am aware, American English, and as such would not, I think, have been used in Victorian England (nor indeed nowadays by mother-tongue English speakers).

Why the categorisation of Mrs Beeton as a chef?
Why is it the case that this article categorises Mrs Beeton as a chef? I always understood that she was quite adamant that she should be classified as a "home economist", not a chef. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 16:18, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Nationality
Mrs Beeton's nationality was British subject. There was no such thing as "English" nationality.122.59.167.152 (talk) 02:01, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
