For anyone, anyone who happens to be as interested in Typee as I am, I'd love to know what people think of my revision of this page, previously a stub. There's more to come...
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)
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)
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)
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)
I appreciate MackyBeth's attention and intelligent work on this and other pages, but I wonder if it wouldn't be better to avoid a discussion of Typee (and Omoo)'s genre. "Book" is perfectly neutral, but "novel" -- as I recall from a search a few years ago and could be wrong -- is not used in the Northwestern-Newbury "Historical Note." I agree that it should be listed in the WikiProject Novel, however, since it historically led to HM's later novels. ch ( talk) 21:13, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
The External Links section has a whole list of online versions, some of which have no added value. I kept the Project Gutenberg version, and also the link to the photographs of the first edition of 1846. Only one of the two audio versions remained. MackyBeth ( talk) 08:13, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
Section Background: One of the books Melville used is by Charles S. Stewart. I'm not sure if this was Charles Stewart (American Navy officer). His biography indicates he could be the author of the book, but unfortunately I cannot find that he wrote any book. Maybe someone knows whether this is the author, so that his name may be wikilinked.
