[edit] English paper
If you are looking for material on this story, I wrote a paper on it for my english composition class. User:The_stuart/The_Curse_and_Prize_of_a_White_Elephant --The_stuart 01:32, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Revision 10/24/07
Today I overhauled this article, incorporating as much of the existing material as possible while doing my best to bring the article in line with Wikipedia standards. I revised the plot summary and added analytical information from six peer-reviewed sources. The trivia section was deleted; the single pop culture reference included therein could conceivably be readmitted in a "References in Popular Culture" section, perhaps, but only with a good deal more accompanying material.
Hopefully this article will now meet qualifications for at least the "start" class. If not, intelligent suggestions and alterations are, of course, more than welcome. --Cantseetheforest 18:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reaction
The article could now do with something on commercial and critical reaction. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Agreed, thanks. This morning I provided the citation requested and am removing the "unsourced statements" category for now. I revised the language in that particular statement to be less subjective, as well. Cantseetheforest 12:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
