Talk:The Canterville Ghost

Untitled

I removed the "orphan" tag. This page is linked to from Oscar Wilde's page, which is as reasonably a link as it can get. 200.126.200.139 03:07, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for doing this. It is also linked from the various film versions pages so the tag was no longer needed. MarnetteD | Talk 20:03, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

File:Wallace Goldsmith - Oscar Wilde - Canterville Ghost - He met with a severe fall.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Wallace Goldsmith - Oscar Wilde - Canterville Ghost - He met with a severe fall.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on December 15, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-12-15. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 05:35, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Picture of the day

A scene from "The Canterville Ghost", Oscar Wilde's first published story, which is about an American family that moves into a haunted house in England. However, instead of being frightened of the eponymous ghost, they turn the tables and prank him, such as in this scene, where the twin boys have set up a butter-slide, causing the ghost to slip down the staircase. The story satirises both the unrefined tastes of Americans and the determination of the British to guard their traditions.Artist: Wallace Goldsmith; Restoration: Adam Cuerden

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:The Canterville Ghost/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The page externally linked to by the article (at yeoldlibrary.com) has been hacked or something - it has a bunch of Arabic script and, so far as I can tell, nothing to do with the Oscar Wilde novella.

2016 animated feature

The film, voiced by (amongst others) Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, premiered at 2023 Annecy animated film festival. Is it worth adding? (and so, how?) 5.90.204.209 (talk) 18:57, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
