Talk:The Official Preppy Handbook

Apparant Bias

I added the NPOV template because whoever wrote this article seems to be biased in favor of the 'preppy' lifestyle, consequently the article does not show a neutral NPOV. Secos5 02:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Addition

I added The Hill School to the list of boarding schools cited in Birnbach's book. Hill is cited on page 47 for anyone who is interested.

--- The Drinks Section needs to be deleted. It is from a different book!

Preppy Names

Less copyright infringement?

This 'article' as currently written reads like a Cliff's Notes of the book, and thus probably skirts the line of copyright infringement. Presumably the lists of places contained in the book were compiled by the author, and therefore belong to them as intellectual property. Unless someone can show a compelling reason to leave them in, I'll be trimming this article in a couple of days. 205.167.180.130 (talk) 19:28, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. 205.167.180.130 (talk) 23:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Link violates copyright

Does Wikipedia countenance the link to a free apparently full PDF version of the book which is still in copyright? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.186.248 (talk) 03:57, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits

@Caroline5894: On Wikipedia, footnotes go outside the punctuation. Can you update your edit? Also is there a reason why so much is sourced to the book itself instead of a secondary source? czar ♔ 02:44, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tone

Added the tone template as the article too often uses puffery like saying the book "humorously advises". We get it, it's supposed to be humor, but whether it is actually funny or not is subjective and should be left to the reader, not encyclopedic to tell the reader how funny it is.
