Spoiler?

Should there be two spoilers back to back?Leon math 02:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Was Mother Smith really a member of the Free African Society?Leon math 21:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Matilda's Age

Where in the book does it say that she's sixteen? Previous versions of the article say 14. Leon math 00:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I can't quite remember, but I believe it said almost 14. SmileToday 19:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Now I'm not so sure. I think the author was inconsistent about that through the book. But someone changed it back to 14 so I'll remove the disputed template. SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 00:36, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Obviously, there is some disagreement as to her age as several anons are changing her age to 16. So, I put the disputed template back. We need to verify her age in several places in the novel. SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 20:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Alternative solution: remove her age all together. SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 19:35, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

dude i recently read this book the WHOLE thing which is probably more than most of you can say, and i always have a very good memory of what i read, and i am like 100% sure she is 15 YEARS OLD.

...although, smiley did have a point. we could just say she is a teenage girl.

Likewise, I have read it 3 times, and recall that near the beginning, with some math done, it comes to around 11 or 12, and later, it comes to 14 or 16. But I have removed the age statement and added that she is a teenage girl in this edit

Where in the book does it say that she giggles like the Ogilvie sisters? Leon math 17:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Nowhere, as far as I know. SmileToday 19:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm removing that statement and the dispute template from that section. Leon math 20:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Very end of chapter fifteen. Very last sentence. "Mrs. Flagg dissolved into giggles that reminded me of the Ogilvie sisters." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.141.53 (talk) 02:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Splitting the page

I think the part that shows the characters should be moved onto another page, considering that it is longer(?) than the length of the entire article itself, and that most some other novels have their character list(s) (if they exist) on a separate page. Any opinions? SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 22:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose. Fever 1793 isn't that famous of a novel. Which novel page has a separate character page?

Leon math 21:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

List of Warriors characters, and List of Middle-earth characters, although those are series. Uncle Tom's Cabin and Starship Troopers, however are not and they have their characters on the same page. Although it might be more organized to list the characters someplace else, it might be better to follow a FA article's precedent. Not sure though. SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 22:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Withdraw - to follow the general precedent of the other Featured Class-Novel Articles at Category:FA-Class novel articles. SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 22:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Cover of fever 1793.jpg

Image:Cover of fever 1793.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Vandalism?

I see that the image of the book has been replaced by a smiley. I highly doubt that the smiley is supposed to be there. Could someone please explain it? Rdli1995 (talk) 22:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Didn't the bot at the bottom say it isn't authorized? -Moon822, 11/15/08

The two of them are kicked off the wagon,they drag it 10 miles from Philadelphia. -from the book. can someone translate this into english? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.149.26.191 (talk) 21:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

(worse and worse)

Everytime I visit this page it just gets worse and worse!!! One of the worst Wiki pages ever. It sounds like a freaking 1st grader wrote it, which I do not doubt. People keep writing evrything incoherently...*sigh*. And Im pretty sure someone took out the entire section of the rather lengthy synopsis...better than NO synopsis in my opinion. -Moon822 11/15/08

References section?

I don't know who Monica Chang is, but this looks like possible vandalism. Even if unintentional, it should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.192.138.13 (talk) 04:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Redirect to author biography

2013-02-22 the Stub article (5310 bytes) was replaced by a redirect to the author biography, with this edit summary:

18:20, 22 February 2013‎ TheRedPenOfDoom (talk | contribs)‎ . . (34 bytes) (-5,310)‎ . . (non notable book, the only source is about the author, redirect there) (undo | thank)

Today I changed the target to that section where the novel is covered briefly, Laurie Halse Anderson#Historical novels. At the same time I judged that we should consider the main title to be Fever, 1793 (with comma), following its Library of Congress Catalog Record[1] (and most WorldCat library records).

So Fever, 1793 is the primary redirect--the {{R from book}} that is in several substantial categories and is a "redirect with possibilities".

Fever, 1793 is one of three novels for which Anderson won the 2005 Margaret A. Edwards Award for lifetime contribution to writing for teens. It should be rather easy to restore a legitimate article but that should happen at the other page. --P64 (talk) 00:27, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
