==Second attempt at wanting an Infobox== |
|||
Hi, I think the page should have an infobox too. Without scanning though the text, you can quickly see information like her nationality, age at death and main novels. There is no demerit to having an infobox.

:::That is for the person who asked the first question. Please don't start another weary, laborious discussion on this tired old subject. There is a consensus in place not to have an idiotbox - see the archives. I cannot comment on this particular box again, so if you wish to talk generally about infoboxes, please come to my talk page.

::::Sorry to continue this 'tired' discussion, but I want to point this out. The Wikipedia articles on [[Charles Dickens]], [[Walt Whitman]], [[Washington Irving]], [[Bram Stoker]], [[Edgar Allan Poe]], [[Herman Melville]], [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]] and [[Henry David Thoreau]], to name but eight authors from the 1800s, all have infoboxes. Perhaps you could explain why Mary Shelley is unusual in that she doesn't need one?[[User:BrightOrion|<font color="#0080ff" face="consolas">Bright</font>'''Orion''']] | [[User talk:BrightOrion|<font color="#336699" face="Calibri">talk</font>]] 00:23, 15 August 2020 (UTC) |

Children
In Bath and Marlow the article says There Mary Shelley gave birth to her third child, Clara. Yet later, in Italy, it says both her children—Clara, ... and William. It is confusing how many children she had before the birth of her fourth child, Percy Florence, on 12 November 1819. The beginning of the article says their second and third children died.

- An info box could help with this issue, among others. 87.247.54.182 (talk) 04:03, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

- Erledigt, thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:16, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
Information Box Needed
I noticed the page does not have an infobox. I feel that adding one would up the quality of the page, but am not familiar with how to best go about this. Zoms101 (talk) 18:43, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- And I feel that it wouldn't. This has been discussed many times before, the most recent of which was only last year here and here, so please refer yourself to the many discussions in the archives that have previously been held. Thanks. CassiantoTalk 18:52, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley's marriage
In this article it says that they eloped in 1814, however other sources say they married in 1816, would anyone mind fact-checking this, thanks.
