Who is Harriet Adams?

edit

Three times, the article mentions Harriet Adams. But, she isn't introduced. Where she is mentioned, the editors seem to think the readers know who she is, and what her role or authority is in connection with The Hardy Boys. 209.131.230.68 (talk) 00:55, 28 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

She's Harriet Adams! Daughter of Edward Stratemeyer who generated massive amounts of juvenile fiction for over a generation.--Milowenthasspoken 05:39, 12 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
I also was mystified about the sudden mention of Harriet Adams without any explanation as to who she is/was. The text should be edited to add this information. It does no good to say who she is here. Tmangray (talk) 06:15, 29 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Michael Hardie Boys

What are the odds that someone born several years after the book series was launched would end up with a binary surname that reads the same as "Hardy Boys"? Since Hardie Boys became very notable as New Zealand's governor-general, I feel adding him to the disambiguation statement is justified as it's possible someone looking for the article on him may type in "Hardy Boys". 70.73.90.119 (talk) 19:35, 1 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

FAR notice

This old article isn't written properly. Some of the citations are poorly formatted, for example. the lack of authors and etc. + There are several unsourced statements and too many quote tables + It needs some updates for books and video game appearances + the books, in-other media (should be converted into prose written style, not lists), comics, and especially the video game sections are a mess + Thematic analysis and reception could be expanded. Overall, it needs some love to meet its current FA standard. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 03:44, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
