Talk:Between the World and Me

Carlton and Prince

Wondering if this case is notable enough to have spinoff article. If so not sure what to name. It did get repeated paper coverage. 64.228.89.160 (talk) 05:11, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

You'd have to put together the potential sources first showing significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) – czar 08:50, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Repetition

I feel like there is too much repetition in pretty much every Wikipedia article I read. Does every section of this short article need to introduce Baldwin's influence and Walker's praise, with links, as though they weren't already introduced in the previous section? Does this kind of thing irritate anyone else?58.250.175.74 (talk) 08:57, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Hebrew translation

There's also a Hebrew translation, not sure how to properly add it to so writing it here. The translation is by Zohar Elmakayis, a PhD student in Columbia U. in NY.

Title

It might be worth noting, the title is from a Richard Wright poem, but "between the world and me" is literally in the text of The Fire Next Time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.27.77.156 (talk • contribs) 05:00, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for this remark. Richard Wright is actually already mentioned on the page, in the third paragraph under Between the World and Me#Publication. I don't think it is mentioned that "between the world and me" is literally in the text of The Fire Next Time, do you have a page number or other source? Laurier (talk) 07:07, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

I don't know how to cite it properly. It's early in the second essay, on page 27 of the Vintage International copy I have. "all the fears with which I had grown up, and which were now a part of me and controlled my vision of the world, rose up like a wall *between the world and me*...". Baldwin doesn't cite or mention the poem explicitly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.27.77.156 (talk • contribs) 06:02, 18 August 2021 (UTC) (Please sign your comment with 4 tildes.)

That is all I need, I think. I'll try to add this information on the page. Thank you! Laurier (talk) 11:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

I added it to the page. Hope you like it. Laurier (talk) 15:07, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
