The statement that this was one of President Nixon's favorite films and it's possible link to his China initiative is unsourced. T.E. Goodwin 22:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Two things:
1: There really needs to be separate articles for the novel and film.
2: The plot summery is a mess, wandering from topic to topic in no logical order and leaving many things out entirely. Furthermore, it is unclear in several places whether it is desribing the book or film.

As mentioned earlier on this talk page, this article should be split and has been tagged as such. — MrDolomite • Talk 18:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
The article should first be expanded and then, when enough information is gathered, it should be split. But not before. Str1977 (talk) 20:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
One key qusetion regarding any split-- are there any significant differences between the novel and the film? Unless there are, it seems they could be handled as one entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RLM1961 ( talk • contribs) 20:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I recently added in a claim that the book was published on the very day that John XXIII died. That was reverted because of a lack of citation (although not only for that reason, but that doesn't concern us here), and I couldn't find an online confirmation of it, so I was prepared to believe it was hyperbolic. I've now come across another such claim. I found it in my collection of old newspaper articles. It's called "Last Writes", by Tony Stephens, dated 3 June 2000, from the SMH (Spectrum, Features, p. 3s). I quote:
I can't see it online, or it may be available via the SMH archives. Any comments before I insert this information into the article, with the cite? -- JackofOz ( talk) 23:38, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
I would respectfully question three out of the five WikProjects that this article is said to be within the scope of.
I suggest that someone with more administrator-fu than me might consider deleting those three boxes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanning ( talk • contribs) 17:01, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
There has been the suggestion above that these should be separated, which was then countered by the statement that more information needs to be added before splitting. I agree with both. Towards that end, I have tried to separate out the book and the film, to at least make them separate sections. -- Bruce Hall ( talk) 02:29, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
