 * a Plot section. (Jaws (film) has a "Plot" section and a "Differences from the novel" section.)
 * Some sources credit Frank Mundus as inspiration for Quint (Jaws character), which Benchley denied.
 * Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 says that was a basis for the novel+film.
 * Thanks. The article does need a plot section. Actually, the film article shouldn't have a "Differences from the novel" section, per WikiProject_Films/Style_guidelines. Some differences can be rewitten with real-world information, though most will be lost as trivial. As for the Jersey Shore attacks... well, the ref you point out is a direct quote from the film. None of the sources I've consulted for the novel article cite it as inspiration. The 1964 story is consistently used, importantly by Benchley himself. The JPS talk to me  09:51, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, the wikilinked ref is #70, even though the anchor tag is #69; it's to three books, not the film. jnestorius(talk) 18:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If there are reliable sources, then fair enough to give them some coverage, although the author's voice on what inspired him should be given precedence over third hand accounts. The JPS talk to me  19:10, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've had a go at addressing this -- what do you think? The JPS talk to me  18:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * No plot page will be needed. As this page already does have a plot section. - BurbankCA (talk) /contributions 12:51 28, March 2009 (UTC)
 * To be fair, a plot will need adding to this article. There are some differences to the film's narrative too. Article should work as standalone entities. The JPS talk to me  20:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Addition of ISBN from Wikidata
Please note that this article's infobox is retrieving an ISBN from Wikidata currently. This is the result of a change made to Infobox book as a result of this RfC. It would be appreciated if an editor took some time to review this ISBN to ensure it is appropriate for the infobox. If it is not, you could consider either correcting the ISBN on Wikidata (preferred) or introducing a blank ISBN parameter in the infobox to block the retrieval from Wikidata. If you do review the ISBN, please respond here so other editors don't duplicate your work. This is an automated message to address concerns that this change did not show up on watchlists. ~ RobTalk 01:24, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
