== Errington 500 == |
|||
I own Errington <gulp - expensive> |
|||
* Pages 1 and 2, A1 (a): 26 June 1997 an edition of 500 copies published simultaneously with A1 (aa) |
|||
* Pages 7 and 8, A1 (aa) paperback: 26 June 1997 5,150 copies published simultaneously with A1 (a) |
|||
More importantly, page 8 does go on to state that neither the hardback nor the paperback "has bibliographical priority", so the "old statement [about 500] is exposed as woefully inaccurate". So, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J._K._Rowling&diff=prev&oldid=1135962273 this edit is correct], and I will add a footnote. [[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 23:46, 27 January 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J._K._Rowling&diff=1135968487&oldid=1135962273 Done], thank you {{u|TelepathicTwelve}} for catching that. When I accessed Errington originally, I was misled by the Timeline source, and missed the additional content of pages 7 to 8. [[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 23:56, 27 January 2023 (UTC) |
|||
My pleasure! I'm no Wikipedia editor so very happy the change to an important article was approved with no fuss & I broke nothing in the process. Your new footnote is very helpful in explaining the matter better than how I left it. |
|||
I'm lucky enough to have met Errington! - delightful fellow [[User:TelepathicTwelve|TelepathicTwelve]] ([[User talk:TelepathicTwelve|talk]]) 19:22, 28 January 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:Awesome; thanks again! [[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 19:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC) |

::[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J._K._Rowling&curid=16027&diff=1136117877&oldid=1135968487 This looks better], thanks again! [[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 20:52, 28 January 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::=D |
|||
:::Just to explain the reasons behind the latest changes - i removed the link to that website claiming 500 copies (Timeline?), didn't feel we needed to provide an example of someone giving the false number, given that p. 8 of Errington itself discusses the widespread false belief |
|||
:::Your new footnote said: Old claims that the initial run of 500 hardbacks had "bibliographic priority" are "woefully inaccurate" |
|||
:::But what Errington really says is "woefully inaccurate" is the idea of 500 copies printed in total |
|||
:::Thanks once again, couldn't have formatted a footnote without you [[User:TelepathicTwelve|TelepathicTwelve]] ([[User talk:TelepathicTwelve|talk]]) 21:06, 28 January 2023 (UTC) |

== Sales == |
|||
Per a recent [http://mediaroom.scholastic.com/press-release/scholastic-marks-25-year-anniversary-publication-jk-rowling-s-harry-potter-and-sorcere press release], the sales now stand at 600 million copies and 85 languages, making it "the bestselling book series of all time" according to the publisher. An editor added this to [[Harry Potter]], but I haven't copied it here because I'm iffy about citing such superlatives to a primary source. Just parking this here in case someone finds a better source. [[User:Olivaw-Daneel|Olivaw-Daneel]] ([[User talk:Olivaw-Daneel|talk]]) 22:47, 13 February 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:Although I don't doubt the veracity, it would be nice if we had a secondary source that analyzes the claim. [[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 22:53, 13 February 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:{{u|Olivaw-Daneel}} is there anything usable here ? |

|||
::Thanks! I've sourced the sales numbers to [[RTL (French radio)|RTL]]. For "bestselling series of all time" [[WP:EXTRAORDINARY]] asks for "multiple high-quality sources", but the only secondary sources I've found for that statement are Publishers Weekly and [https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/02/15/jk-rowling-defends-herself-in-podcast-heres-her-controversial-comments-on-transgender-issues-explained/?sh=69bf93e746d3 Forbes]. Forbes is fine, but I'm not sure if Publishers Weekly counts as "high-quality", so it'd be good to have a third source. [[User:Olivaw-Daneel|Olivaw-Daneel]] ([[User talk:Olivaw-Daneel|talk]]) 21:18, 15 February 2023 (UTC) |
|||
Btw, any objections to applying [[Template:Harvc#Basic_example]] to "Works cited"? It'd reduce clutter. [[User:Olivaw-Daneel|Olivaw-Daneel]] ([[User talk:Olivaw-Daneel|talk]]) 22:27, 15 February 2023 (UTC) |
|||
