Talk:Catherine Webb

Untitled

I updated the Bibliography, as the third Horatio Lyle book has already been published and released. Quinnfeld (talk) 17:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Me again. I updated the number of novels in the introduction. Quinnfeld (talk) 15:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Imprecision

The article currently has "She was just 14 years old when she completed Mirror Dreams".

What does this just mean? That she had recently celebrated her fourteenth birthday? That she was imminently to celebrate her fifteenth? That the writer is thinking "Oh my gosh isn't she young, being 14"? Or what?

If the meaning is ascertainable, please edit to show it. If it's simply journalistic fluff, please do feel free to delete it. --Kay Dekker (talk) 12:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Advertising fluff

Saying "prides herself" definitely detracts from the encyclopaedic tone of this article, and is exactly the sort of aggrandizing fluff one might expect in a press release by an agent.

Perhaps this section could be rephrased as "Her Horatio Nelson books are intended to be historically accurate", but it'll still need some sort of citation; perhaps a book review by someone with appropriate background in that historical period?

You are quite right, this is advertising fluff. Search on "Catherine Webb prides herself" and you will find countless publicity pieces which include this sentence (Google Play, Worlds without end, Amazon, etc). I have deleted the sentence. Brymor (talk) 22:09, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Most of this article is taken from the Catherine Web author page on the Lovereading For Kids website, a sales portal for her books. This explains the blurby nature of the text. I assume much of this is correct, but it would be preferable to have a supporting citation from a non-publishing source. Brymor (talk) 11:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

References

Added 2nd Claire North book

...and corrected the GoodReads reference page to point to the author's page (instead of a single book) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brentbordelon (talk • contribs) 03:04, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
