I do not love thee, Doctor Fell

The original text that I know seems to have been modernised from "I do not love thee " to "I do not like thee". Is this a mistake, or is it mine? Jezza (talk) 13:19, 12 April 2016 (UTC) Jezza (talk) 13:19, 12 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

My thought as well: that's why I looked in here. The article on Tom Brown (satirist) uses "love". --Ampwright (talk) 20:16, 16 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

My thought as well; I learned it as "I do not love thee," and "This alone I know full well." See this source, which uses the wording I remember. https://books.google.com/books?id=Jz4FAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA417#v=onepage&q&f=false Marina M. (talk) 04:20, 15 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Trivia

Back in 2021 u:Cagliost inserted a blatant bit of WP:OR listing what were claimed to be allusions to the Dr Fell rhyme. Later he has scrabbled around to find sources that mention those works. Since this article is about the rhyme, a true connection is required per WP:RS. MOS:TRIVIA mentions that stand-alone lists were "once common practice" but are now better avoided so that they do not become "trivia magnets" and the information ought to be integrated into the article in other ways. Another guideline,Wikipedia:"In popular culture" content#Good and bad popular culture references, lists what would constitute reliable sources establishing this. The first example given by Cagliost might just about qualify, although acknowledging that it's just a story about a story that happens to mention the rhyme. The rest remain in the realm of original research, with no link established or acknowledgement of how they further knowledge of the subject of the article. Whatever used to be the case, Wikipedia has plainly moved on from included information of such doubtful use or reliability. Sweetpool50 (talk) 11:04, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
