In 1999 a dutch translation of a book by Anthony Horowitz for adults was introduced at the Antwerp book affair. It was called "William S." in ducth ( ISBN 90-572-0102-X) and should be a translation of a book called "Poisened Pen" by Anthony Horowitz. I can't seem to find any references to this book whatsoever on the internet though. Does anyone know anything at all about this book? Was only the dutch version ever released but never the english? It's an excellent book that asks the question what would happen if William Shakespear lived in the late 20th century. I'm certain Anthony Horowitz wrote it: his picture is on the back and he came to sign it personally at the Antwerp book fair. Jan Jacobs 17:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
It’s also available in Spanish as well. Christianb5 ( talk) 12:19, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
How English does the name Horowitz sound? Witz is a classic German suffix on names. He may be a part of the 60,000 strong community of Anglo- Germans primarily made up of POWs from the German army in the First and Second World Wars who decided to remain in England when the war ended and inter- married into the British communities.
Can anyone confirm his heritage in detail?

No, he's 100% English, whats the matter? Can't accept that he's an amazing author and he's not German or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.50.188 ( talk) 18:03, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
What a strange racist comment to make. He's English, from a part Jewish (not German) background. I'm also fairly certain that no one would ever identify as "Anglo-German" anyway.

I don't have time right now, but this article could do with a cleanup - much of the author's history is somewhat garbled, or out of sequence, or irrelevant (e.g. his dog being run over three times - maybe somewhere, but not in "Early Life")... I'll check back in a few days if I have time. EAi 00:54, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I thought there were going to be 13!! But a friend from school said there would be 8. Any ideas?RiderFan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.89.93 ( talk) 20:23, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
there might be 13 books, but there are currently 7. So neither of you were wrong! And i DO think that he is going to make more Alex Rider books because I read in an article that it bugs him to strat something and then not finish it, AND IT BUGS ME TOO! So since the last book (SNAKEHEAD)is unfinished, because Alex Rider hasn't completely quit MI6 or died, then he is probably adding on to the series.. But I don't think it will be soon... I hear that he has started to add to the Raven's Gate series. I HOPE THIS HELPED!!!

Anthony Horowitz was a guest on ITV's The Agenda. One of the topics debated on 4th February 2013 was about gay marriage. Here is some of what he had to say about it -
I think it's upset an awful lot of people completely unnecessarily. I'm not even sure there are that many homosexual men and women who actually want to get married. And I think it's a case, once again, of government being in the wrong place. This is a church matter. And what has been attached to this argument - which really worries me - is a terrible sense that if you, for a single minute, question the idea of homosexual marriage you must immediately therefore be a raging homophobe. And there is so much hatred and so much dislike going on - according to the Sunday papers one Conservative MP has even been receiving death threats because of his points of view. And I find that in a civilised country - our country - to be really really shocking. ..... (gay marriage) is an idea that also offends a great many Christians in this country. ...... A marriage involves man, woman and God ..... Damson88 ( talk) 21:55, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
As I've said, I don't agree. In my view it is synthesis to conclude what would have been 'very clear cut to viewers'. The main topic for him is the process by which the bill is being managed. Span ( talk) 18:56, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
This debate is the reason that primary sources are not relied upon at WP. With BLPs "material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States, to this policy, and to Wikipedia's three core content policies: Neutral point of view, Verifiability, No original research". It's important to get it right, as reflected in the Loose Ends clip. You are arguing that because he is not supporting the bill, he is condemning gay marriage. That is synthesis. Span ( talk) 21:15, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Mr Horowitz has recently graced the media with his take on a number of issues, so I propose to start a new section on this.
Adding to his views on marriage equality legislation (ITV "The Agenda") he was on a recent edition of Question Time (BBC One) and then on Radio 4's Loose Ends. The radio programme is available on the BBC iPlayer for a short while longer. He speaks, amongst other things, about Foyles War, appearing on Question Time, and Wikipedia accuracy. At one point in the Loose Ends programme he expressed concerns about being unfairly thought of as a right-wing bigot Damson88 ( talk) 18:06, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Why did the Groosham Grange wiki page disappear ? It still exists on the french Wikipedia, for instance, and a large portion of its content seems to be reproduced
