The article includes non-cited content and a section tagged as needing expansion. Does it still meet FA criteria? (t · c) buidhe 20:49, 25 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

In season 3 of ST, the show's character Nancy Wheeler is mockingly called Nancy Drew by her higher-ups at the newspaper. KhlavKhalash (talk) 20:57, 21 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

violent?

The lede has a citation for the claim that the character was originally more unruly and violent, but the citation and the entire article have no example of Nancy ever being violent. -- Espoo (talk) 10:08, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that, Chief!

I use the same writing style everywhere I go online partially because of my autism, and partially because I know no other way to write. I like Nancy Drew despite my discomfort over her origin story, which is similar to the one used for the main character of the 1935 film THE UNBORN, Alice. This film is the only one to deal with the topic of involuntary sterilization and was made outside the studio system for the purpose of exploitation. In, it, Alice's foster family agree to be sterilized because they are misfits and criminals of the very first type. Sorry if I caused you any trouble.Glammazon (talk) 14:13, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
