Contents 1 Versions 2 The Melvilles 3 accurate description? 4 In line citations

[edit] Versions

Since there are at least two versions (original-complete and censored), the references to online versions should be labelled/organized. And ideally there should be an online set of the differences -- the censored passages would certainly be educational about the times.69.87.200.44 01:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Melvilles

Someone should add material about the Melvilles, as described by Hermester Barrington (Malibu Lake, California) in his October 24, 2000 Amazon review of this book.69.87.200.44 01:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] accurate description?

Need much more online detailed discussion etc of the accuracy of all the details in the book Typee -- the language of the natives, behavior, etc.69.87.200.44 01:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In line citations

In line citations are needed; the analysis is useless and can be considered WP:OR without it. My guess is the original editor that added most of it (an anonymous account) is long gone. --Midnightdreary 22:03, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
