I'm researching this topic in advance of article updates related to a Featured Article Review, as discussed here. I saw RetiredDuke's comments in this talk page about needed updates and wanted to see if any other editors have thoughts on ways to improve the article. I plan to finish my research in the next two weeks and then start working on updates, so any suggestions or thoughts are welcome.--SouthernNights (talk) 14:34, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Doublechecking to see if any other editors have thoughts on ways to improve this article. Here's what I have so far:
General cleanup of article
Edit prose throughout article
Update citations and references, especially for unsourced claims
Fix original research and unsourced paragraphs throughout the article
Shorten the Anti-Tom literature section (which is currently almost the size of our Anti-Tom literature article)

There really should be a mention of the play based on the novel in the musical The King and I, and the movie made from the play. It shows (or at least tries to show) how children of a far different culture understood the play and its message. One of the more memorable moments in it is when the narrator proclaims that, "Buddha made a miracle!" because, of course, the children were being raised as Buddhists, not Christians. I haven't checked to find any references as yet, but I'd expect them to be easy to find. JDZeff (talk) 18:09, 7 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

In the section "Anti-Tom Literature", change "Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1862" to "Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852". SkatBoodig (talk) 06:18, 2 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
