The Irene Adler page refers to "Julian Wolff, from 1861 to 1886 the head of the Baker Street Irregulars". Should those dates be 1961 to 1986?92.237.66.85 (talk) 12:56, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Richard Mellish[reply]

Thanks for pointing out that those years are wrong, though I think that the span of years that Wolff was head of the BSI is outside of the scope of this article, especially since he was not in that position at the time he wrote the comments cited. I will reword the part about Wolff, and add more information to the BSI article so readers can go there if they want to know more about its past leadership.

I have removed the Adaptations section as it's mostly lengthy summaries of derivative works. All relevant, properly sourced information from that section is duplicated in the following section, which lists the various actresses who have played Ms. Adler.

82.52.69.253 reverted this change without justification in a recent edit, but I would like to argue for the inclusion of an Adaptations section as opposed to a list of actresses. A part of Adler's importance, why she has a page instead of an entry in Minor Sherlock Holmes characters, is that her character exists in so many adaptations of Sherlock Holmes and is characterized differently from one derivative work to another. A list of actresses who have played Adler would flatten those adaptational differences that are the subject of a lot of writing about the character, and would omit written works. I agree with you that an Adaptations section should be well-sourced and avoid summaries of the work where not necessary to understanding the adaptational changes to the character.
