Correction
It appears that this page claims that Bob and George had the first author character. This is a very common misconception. The first author character was in Neglected Mario Characters. I'm going to correct this. -Sprited Spheniscidae — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sprited Spheniscidae (talk • contribs) 04:58, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
Fallacy
The information contained on this page concerning the New Criticism is incorrect; New Criticism is actually quite the opposite of what is here presented, the Death of the Author is actually a similar view to many of the New Criticism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.28.152.213 (talk) 01:02, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Pseudonyms
It would be useful to further comment on authorship with regards to the use of pseudonyms. An important question in that field would be, how the adoption of a (non-narrator) persona by a writer affects the authorship of his/her text: Is a person writing once under his/her real name and once under an adopted name still the same author; or is it two different authors that are writing and just happen to spring from the same person? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.149.16.69 (talk) 00:49, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
