Talk:Christmas elf

Elfs/elves?

Why is the plural "elfs" being used in this article rather than "elves"? Can someone give a citation that this is correct? I'm changing it otherwise. Applejuicefool (talk) 15:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I think it can probably be either; like how Tolkien made the usual modern plural for Dwarf Dwarves. In my writing I use either depending on the type of elf...

Keep it up!

Last time I checked this page, not too long ago, it was EXTREMELY lacking. Well done and thanks to those who have contributed to it's contruction. --Kurtle (talk) 21:36, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Date of Louisa May Alcott's Christmas Elves - 1850, 1856, or 1876?

The article as I post this gives two different years for Louisa May Alcott's unpublished work "Christmas Elves": 1850 and 1856. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a definitive answer doing a Google search. There are seemingly quality sources for both. Alcott's Wikipedia article doesn't even mention the work, variously described online as an unpublished (or rejected) book, short story, or poem. Her home is a historic site and museum in Concord, Massachusetts. On its website, there is no mention of "Christmas Elves," but they do publish an 1876 poem of hers called (perhaps retitled?) "Merry Christmas" that features elves. See it at http://www.louisamayalcott.org/witandwisdom_holiday.html Maybe one of you Wiki sleuths can contact the museum to see if they can solve this mystery. I am tossing this out there. 5Q5 (talk) 15:59, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

If the work was never published then it can't have any significance, so the reference should probably be removed. Patrick Neylan (talk) 13:32, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
