The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Abebenjoe 21:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
According to the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, the etymology for 'toke' indicates that it comes from the Spanish word 'toque', meaning 'touch'. It has nothing to do with Toklas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.55.218 ( talk) 09:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm copying the following photo request that was made on Wikipedia:Requested_pictures/People. Tim Pierce ( talk) 01:04, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
It seems to me that this article is not doing Alice B. Toklas enough justice. Toklas gave up most of her life to take care of Stein, beside being her lover for nearly 40 years. This in a time when homosexuality was not something that was readily discussed, let alone practised openly. After Stein died, Toklas wrote (cook)books (sometimes containing reminiscences of her and Stein). Strangely enough there is not a section on further reading. So I would recommend:
The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook and What Is Remembered is often available from second hand book dealers (200+ pages, including photographs) and has been reprinted.
When Toklas died, nearly twenty years after Stein, she was buried in the same grave as Stein. It is speculated that this was against the wishes of Stein as Stein did not want to share the headstone, probably the reason why Toklas's name is on the back of the headstone. -- JHvW ( talk) 18:28, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm whether "Haschigh Fudge" or "Haschich Fudge" is the original spelling in The Cookbook? I've seen both online, but I haven't been able to find the original text.-- Slowlikemolasses ( talk) 21:25, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
"her father was a polish arny officer" needs clarification; since she was born in 1877 & the last time there had been anything like an independent poland was the "grand duchy of warsaw", under napoleon i (dissovled after the napoleonic wars).
so either he was an army officer who was polish, serving in whatever forcess, or he served in the armies of russian poland, was a polish-austrian, or served the tiny rump city-state of krackow, between the 2; which itself didn't last beyond 1846...

In the sentence, "Toklas met Gertrude Stein in Paris on September 8, 1907, the day she arrived there from San Francisco after the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake," who is the antecedent of 'she'? The reader can't tell which one arrived in 1907. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.131.51.226 ( talk) 13:45, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Can we put this in the legacy section? By Brendan Behan, who also lived in Paris in the 1950s:
Well? 78.16.103.7 ( talk) 18:49, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
Popular culture reference to the cookbook is perhaps a TV quote involving ‘Samantha’ Stephens. 98.209.102.111 ( talk) 12:44, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

When an edit you made is reverted you should not simply restore it but discuss it on the article talk page - see WP:BRD. In this case, even more so I think - the text you added doesn't really make much sense and its relevance and/or importance is not clear. Perhaps you should explain what it is you think should be added and why so others can assist/advise?. Dorsetonian ( talk) 22:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

On the page bearing Toklas’ signature, the first chapter begins below it, with verses from Act 2, Scene 3 [2] of Romeo and Juliet [3]. Adelaide Barbara Atkinson [4] , [5] was the mother of Constance Lloyd, later, Mrs Oscar Wilde [5].
