Books and Sources

[edit ]

The following book is mentioned in both the 'Books' and 'Sources' sections: Richard Williams, Nina Simone: Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (Canongate, 2002) and an ISBN is provided. Has anyone who has contributed to this article ever seen a copy of this book? It is not cited in any of the endnotes. In over twenty years of researching Nina Simone's work, I have never seen a copy of this book, though I have seen it mentioned in articles like this one. I have been led to assume that the book was perhaps scheduled, then pulled from publication. I'd be very interested to hear if anyone can provide evidence of the book's publication. If any future contributors to the article would find it useful, I have provided a list of Nina Simone sources at [1] https://latevoice.com/resources/nina-simone-studies/. Dr.richardelliott (talk) 13:27, 18 May 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

@Dr.richardelliott: I have made extensive searches, and come to the conclusion that you are virtually certainly right. The book's title appears on numerous listings, sometimes with an ISBN, but none of these listings gives any concrete information about the book, and everything that I have seen is entirely consistent with the idea that the book was planned but never published. Also, in the very unlikely event that the book does exist, it is so obscure and insignificant that it doesn't warrant a mention in the Wikipedia article. I have therefore removed the mention of it from the article. JBW (talk) 14:15, 18 May 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Ableism in descriptions of bipolar diagnosis

[edit ]

Referring to bipolar cycles as tantrums and discussing a grown woman as if she were a child is ableist. I tried to change the ableist language in the Nijmegen section and the entire section about Nijmegen was changed back. Either the person who changed it back needs to fix it or let me do it. 2600:1004:A121:120B:4897:6BB0:2FA0:2F8B (talk) 17:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Why are all the {{harvnb}} references {{harvnb|ref=none}}?

[edit ]

This defeats (most of) the purpose of using the templates. Snowman304 |talk 03:30, 1 August 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
