[edit]I have redirected Archy and Mehitabel to this page, but perhaps they should be switched around, so the properly capitalised version holds the content, with this page being a redirect. Didn't want to do this myself, as I don't know how it affects page history etc. HappyDog 00:20, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- It's properly capitalized here, actually, but the redirect is a good idea. - Hephaestos 00:21, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Capitalization of Archy/Mehitabel?
[edit]The name of the article should probably remain as-is (without capitalization) because that's the proper name of the series of poems/editorials; however, just because archy can't reach the Shift key to type his name with a capital letter doesn't mean his name isn't capitalized. Indeed, because the author capitalized Archy and Mehitabel when writing in his own persona, I say all instances of the names that aren't part of a title (or something else Archy himself would've "typed") should be capitalized.

- The name of the book is "archy and mehitabel." The names of the characters are "Archy" and "Mehitabel." Carlo 20:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not interested in starting any battles, but elsewhere on the encyclopedia WP:MOSTM applies to naming of articles, meaning that the singer k.d. lang and the television series thirtysomething, for example, are capitalized in their respective articles.

Last Issue?
[edit]When did "Archy and Mehitabel" cease publication? Thank you. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 01:20, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
I was told at school that the title was a pun on Absalom & Achitophel by Dryden, afraid cannot cite any reference.

Mehitabel…
[edit]It seems odd that there is a lot about Archy and his activities, but nothing on the character of Mehitabel - I no longer have the books to hand, but didn’t she claim to be the reincarnation of Cleopatra? I’m sure there must be more… Jock123 (talk) 19:32, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
