What is the copyright status of this work? If it was published in the US in 1906 (or at least pre 1923) it is in the public domain, if not - then it could still be copyprotected, as the autor died in 1968. --Christian S 11:16, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Different Versions
[edit]"The Jungle" was published in two different versions. Once was edited down for the 1906 book publication, and the other was the version originally published in the socialist newspaper in which it was serialized. Should both versions be listed here? What version is the one here? (A mixture of both? The edited? The original?) The original edition has 36 chapters, and the one posted here has only 31, so I'm going to assume that the one here is pure-edited-version, but it still might be important as there are multiple contributors. I have the original version here, and I'm unsure as to how to manage-- if I even should-- adding the other 5 chapters and changing the various differences. Plus, I'm not sure I'd even be able to catch all of the differences. Could someone chime in with some advice? (Any why doesn't my Wikipedia account carry over to here? Shouldn't all Wikimedia projects be linked?) --Mechcozmo 01:54, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- If we can acquire a good scan of the original version, we would definitely want to include it. However, we should also retain a copy of the better-known 1906 edition. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:46, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
