Other Stuff
The plot section is badly written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.0.190 (talk) 05:19, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

There is no plot section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.85.241 (talk) 23:41, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Sources and References Evaluation
Although most of the information included in the article is followed by a citation, there are no referenced sources in the Lead, as well as the "In popular culture" section. The Lead includes various information surrounding the novel's publishing date, authors, genre, and plot summary, all of which require a source to be cited. The same goes for the "In popular culture" section which does not cite a source. Additionally, the first citation, "ALA.org: The 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990–2000," is a "dead link," and leads to a blank page on the American Library Association website. http://www.ala.org/Template.cfmSection=bbwlinks&Template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=85714). --Alexycorrales (talk) 19:19, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Future Edits and Additions
In the following weeks, I intend to make various edits and additions to the current content of the article. Most significantly, I plan to add a Plot Summary section that is currently missing, as well as adding much more information to the Reception section. The Reception section lacks content surrounding the novel’s controversy, so I plan to add more information on why the book is banned and several notable challenges to the book in schools. I also seek to retitle the “In popular culture” section to a more general title like “Legacy” in which information about the book can be added beyond the novel’s placement in popular culture. Legacy sections appear more in line with Wikipedia's recommendations as they are common in articles about novels. Beyond this, the current lead section includes information that is not referenced later in the article. I will be editing/adding to the lead to include information that I add in later sections of the article, and I will be adding any citations to unsourced content to avoid plagiarism issues under Wikipedia guidelines. A link to a bibliography of the sources I retrieved my content from is included here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRb9udp6QpVmX2wTzhASTixtPG0Pa19GGZM6bWxw98ZYX-dlc9I5W69rhWymQYPbdED2f1ninrJ0sY7/pub --Alexycorrales (talk)
