Correction to plot

edit

I have no idea why someone wrote that the novel takes place in "the roaring 20s." The novel states that Jody was two years old when his father went war, which would set the action in the 1870s. 11 Arlington (talk) 05:53, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Somebodys gotta help

edit

This is one of the shortest articles on a book I have ever seen. Come on! we can do better than this. This article barely mentions anything about the book. Could some wikipedians add a little more? I just added some characters and believe me it isn't close to being a full article.

Detailed plot of novel copied and pasted from wikipedia article 'The Yearling (film)'

edit

Because I am not going to twist the story of novel. The movie is based on The Yearling novel and even if someone try to write plot newly, some words may change but not the plot.

And I am using wikipedia article for wikipedia article. Is there copyright voilation?

Anyone is free to type detailed plot of novel. Let me see how it differes from what I have copied and pasted.

This article is on my list of things to do after adding to the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings article. But I have to read the stupid book in order to do it. Will edit where necessary when that occurs. Thanks, Neo. --Moni3 23:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)Moni3Reply
Information should not be copied from one article to another. If anything, it's just lazy. Although the summaries are obviously going to be similar, copy-and-paste jobs = bad. I've reverted the edit in the hopes that someone will write their own synopsis. María (críticame) 23:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
