I have a copy of the unabridged A Christmas Carol, and this spirit is named The Ghost of Christmas Past, not the Spirit of Christmas Past. Can we agree that this needs to be changed? Canonblack 03:10, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
When a story has been adapted as often as “A Christmas Carol”, people often combine details from the adaptations with the original story. I have made changes to this entry to bring it back to Dickens’ original work. MacPhilbin ( talk) 16:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
In Dickens' original, Fan is described as "a little girl, much younger than the boy [Scrooge]" and she is in no other scene than the boarding school scene. It's only in the 1951 Alistair Sim movie version is she older and has a deathbed scene. I have changed the entry to match Dickens' original work. MacPhilbin ( talk) 01:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Why in the world is the Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol left out of the Appearances list? Cnanninga ( talk) 21:12, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure why this page links to the page on the Testament of Job. The two seem to have little or nothing to do with each other. That said, I'm not comfortable taking it down, in case there's a connection I haven't made. 199.8.45.143 20:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
how many kinds of ghosts are there are there such thing as ghosts well i can answer that there is such thing as ghosts because if you don't believe in ghosts you don't believe in god or the devil is that right yes it is because the bible says so and i am not sure witch chapter though but it's in there. Ghosts have this kind of abilitaly that can let them do anything like being invisable and not being invisable, they also follow people around and make them leave a place that they don't want them too be near kind of like the mysery me and my friends are working on there are so many scary thing going on and all this odd notes letters and writing on trees it is driving us off our rockers lol. well that is all i will write another letter on ghosts later!!!!.

The three ghosts each have their own article, essentially a quip. In a thorough article about the book, the description and role of major characters will be detailed, especially characters laden with symbolism like these. I think what happened here, and judging from the fly-by or mobile editing done, is that some Jr. high school class was given assignments to write articles for wikipedia, and these resulted. They aren't scholarly or referenced. There is a place for information, and it's where someone redaing and researching the book will find it all together, not having to wikilink across a series of articles. Adding merge tag.
