[edit] Article split
I noticed that there as an article split notice at the top of the page, but I see no rationale for that on this talk page. I think it would be best as one article until it gets too big. So I'm removing the notice. LittleDantalk 01:10, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- I hadn't looked at this for a while, & now I see that User:Jazk34 did in fact split the article (into 3 - one for each film version) back on July 17. I mention it here just to clarify the article history, since the edit summaries provided no clue. Editors, please remember to use edit summaries and talk pages when doing that kind of thing... ←Hob 22:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Smith unidentified
The article at one point says: "As Smith asserts in her foreword to the 2002 Vintage edition..." There is no other mention of this 'Smith' anywhere in the article. This needs to be fixed by whoever knows anything about such matters. Tm19 23:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's Zadie Smith; that edition is ISBN 0099478390 if you want to find it. I'll fix the name just to make the article less confusing, but I don't think the Smith quote really adds much, and the Themes section needs trimming in general - lots of redundancy and occasional POV. ←Hob 22:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
