It doesn't seem right to present the 1868 Septimus Winner version of the rhyme as being in some way equivalent to the 1869 Frank Green version, for the purpose of this book. It's quite clear that the Frank Green version is the one that Christie actually used; the other is quite different, although obviously related. I'd suggest removing the text of Septimus Winner and just referring to it by way of historical background. This is not an article about alternative variants of the rhyme, but about a specific novel. Thoughts? MichaelMaggs ( talk) 21:41, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
I am editing this, mainly because I didn't enjoy asking it, but, is the island based on a real life island? If Christie holidayed on an island that was too dangerous to get to and from by swimming, sounds like good inspiration for a murder mystery. Middle More Rider ( talk) 23:42, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Whilst it's not a direct adaption I think the film Identity (2003) has enough in common to maybe considered adding 81.187.69.130 ( talk) 14:41, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

It's more than a little jarring to see the N word in giant letters the moment you open this page, especially since the page title doesn't reflect the novel's original title. Could we find the first cover featuring the "And Then There Were None" title and use that instead? 2601:1C1:8501:F557:898:6A25:929A:71C5 ( talk) 19:38, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
Hey, could you please explain why it is necessary to have the outdated cover and title, especially since it contains a racial slur, instead of a newer cover with the title that matches the name of the article? I think it is unnecessarily confusing for readers and rather insensitive.— Preceding unsigned comment added by HoolaHoopsSuck ( talk • contribs) 04:04, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
I have a version titled “And Then There Were None” copywritten 1940 by P. F. Collier and Son Corporation with “manufactured in the U.S.A.” that does not appear on the publications list, and the first printing in 1939 would be an earlier version than the first claimed US version from January 1940 Dodd publishing. My version also uses “Indians” throughout. Any insight? Pictures attached in reply. 2601:188:CC7F:E60:4173:6174:5E51:FB49 ( talk) 05:01, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
