Well i could say that the book was not very good because her book wasn't returned to her and she didn't ssaw Ole Golly well for me it would be nice if she would be a flower girlin Miss Golly's wedding . hehe. Well that's what i though. That's all.

[edit]  ???

Who got fired? Golly or Rosie O'Donnell?

I agree, this is one poorly written article. I may get into writing my own piece on this and replacing the old bad one. ^_^ --Beneficii

Not to mention the lack of a "Controversy" section....TheListUpdater 22:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little Joe Curry

Hmm, that's odd, this article says that the deliveryman wasn't in the movie, but I just watched the movie about a month ago and I could have sworn he was in there. He was working for the Chinese family. Is it just saying he's not in there because he worked for the Italian family in the book? That wouldn't make any sense, though, because the Italian family was changed into the Chinese family for the movie. I swear I remember seeing him as a character in the movie, though, even though I don't think they said what his name was. Shivers _talk 21:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] M for Middle?

I've taken the liberty of removing this assertion (that Harriet's middle initial actually stands for "Middle") from the article. The book never states that Harriet's self-applied initial stands for anything in particular. Cactus Wren 06:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Calling someone a "hapa" is derogatory.

I edited part of the "discrepancies between movie and book" part because it was sort of offensive.

"Rachel Hennessy, a white character originally (drawn in the book as having dark hair and freckles and wearing glasses), was portrayed as a Hapa." (this is what it once said.)

I'm pretty sure that is, not only incorrect to say, but also pretty offensive to say, as well. I don't know what the race of Teisha Kim is, but I'm sure she doesn't describe herself as a "Hapa."

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Harriet the Spy.jpg

Image:Harriet the Spy.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
