Bold text==Spelling and punctuation errors== I find it hard to believe that Jones deliberately made spelling and punctuation errors. Those mistakes are usually unintentional and the result of a weakness on the part of the author. A famous example is F. Scott Fitzgerald.Lestrade (talk) 21:55, 27 February 2008 (UTC)Lestrade
- If you read "From Here To Eternity" you'll find numerous spelling and punctuation errors. This was deliberate--the written word is very limited and Jones was trying to get as much out of it as he could. English teachers, for instance, are not writers, they can't create because they're mentally constipated. If you want to be a good writer, ignore your friggen English teachers. 108.237.241.88 (talk) 12:52, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Copyright problem
[edit]This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

Bibliography
[edit]I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:
- Cite templates will be used where possible.
- Tables may be used to organise short stories, poems and/or book reviews.
- I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
- Links to potentially unreliable digitised copies may be removed.
This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 00:10, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
