Snipped from the article

Sean Josephson, a dr. beleives that children will intake this information incorectly because of their young age. this article needs work but this isn't the way to go. Murgh 03:13, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Combine?

No question that "The Night Kitchen" and "In the Night Kitchen" should be combined. They discuss the same book.PurpleChez 16:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. No question. MURGH ^disc. 17:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Me too! Support. Mwillia9 05:13, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support it's pretty obvious what needs to be done... --70.17.170.33 13:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. COMBINE!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.64.127 (talk) 15:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Support Come on already...--199.94.87.178 03:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merged!

I've had a go at merging, although I think it may still require a little tweaking, especially on the 'Controversy' section.TimTim 21:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good initiative and good job! MURGH ^disc. 22:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking

I think the plot summary has been over-linked. Words should only be linked that are relevant to the context, and many plain English words have been linked unnecessarily. Therefore I'm going to clean a bunch of them out. TimTim 20:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gibberish?

Is it just me or did somebody dump a bunch of nonsense into this article, starting with "Episode Story"? It sounds like it was generated by a dissociated-press program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.200.55.90 (talk) 23:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Holocaust (NPR Interview)

Sendak spoke in an interview with NPR's 'Fresh Air' about how this book references the Holocaust, with the chefs wearing Hitleresque moustaches and attempting to cook Maurice in an oven. Could we get somebody to write up a nice addition to this page about that?--LordHuffnPuff (talk) 23:19, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So it's true? I thought it was vandalism, it was so weird. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 02:27, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why the link is just to NPR; but then again, it's easy to find. [1]. (We need something about them looking more like Oliver Hardys...)--Rfsmit (talk) 17:34, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

The second para of "Controversy in the United States" needs some cleanup which I can't do right now because it's NSFW! First, the factmonster.com reference needs fixing. Second, I think "scrotum" would be more accurate (I may be wrong -- I need to research it). And third, "clearly" instead of "explicitly" to avoid POV issues -- that word hints at it being pornographic, which many would agree it is not.--Rfsmit (talk) 17:42, 6 October 2009 (UTC) (Rfsmit: added section header)[reply]

The milk and me

From the text:

I'm in the milk / And the milk's in me. / God bless milk / And God bless me!

(Quoted from memory; I may have gotten the punctuation wrong...) Is this original with Sendak? – or if canonical, from what prior source? -- Deborahjay (talk) 08:55, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Original Research

Sentences like "Sendak's unique style captures the spirit and feeling of a dream, as Mickey floats, flies and dances from one panel to the next" sound like original research or plagiarism. 75.15.177.203 (talk) 14:14, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
