==Untitled==
I don't see why the fact that the three protagonists are 'questionably bisexual' should be the first thing mentioned about the premise of this book. The discussion of each character occurs in the next paragraph down. The book is, of course, about much more than the character's sexuality. I will ensure discussion of their sexuality is included in detail elsewhere.
 
== Autobiographical novels tag? ==

: I, too, am curious as to the categorization... and as no one has yet answered the question, I'm removing the tag. --[[User:Victoriagirl|Victoriagirl]] 21:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 
== typos ==
 
Did the book really contain typographical errors such as 'unimstakable'? --[[User:Darklilac|darklilac]] 00:09, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

'''[[:Image:The hours-ed harris.jpg]]''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in '''this''' Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with [[WP:FU|fair use]].

== Copyright infringement? ==
I wasn't entirely sure what to do about this, apart from bringing it up here, but the section on major literary themes; fascination with mortality, societal roles, etc, seems to have been directly copied and pasted from the Sparknotes.com notes for The Hours. --[[User:Astraimperator|Astraimperator]] 00:36, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
:You were absolutely correct, and I'm glad to brought it to our attention! Because it was a blatant copyright violation of Sparknotes, I removed the material as per [[WP:COPY]], which states "If some of the content of a page really is an infringement, then the infringing content should be removed, and a note to that effect should be made on the talk page, along with the original source. If the author's permission is obtained later, the text can be restored." Thanks for the alert. :) (ps: I also moved this thread to the bottom of the page for chronological reasons. <span style="font-family:verdana">[[User:Yllosubmarine|María]] </span><small>([[Wikipedia:Editor review/Yllosubmarine|<span style="color:green">críticame</span>]])</small> 12:34, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 
== Vaughan or Vaughn ==
Is Clarissa's surname supposed to be Vaughn or Vaughan? My edition has it as Vaughan, with the extra a, but the article consistently uses Vaughn. Which is it? [[User:Lunapuella|Lunapuella]] 14:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

==Plot summary==
I noticed that the plot summary is incomplete. Is this deliberate (to avoid spoilers or something?) or accidental (the editor who added the summary got distracted, maybe?)? [[User:Akatari|Akatari]] ([[User talk:Akatari|talk]]) 23:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 
The excuse:
 
"Note: This Summary does not contain the whole book, nor end at the ending.
 
The stream-of-consciousness style being so prominent in this work, a summary of the plot based on physical action does not give a thorough understanding of the content of the work. In the novel, action occurring in the physical world (i.e.: characters doing things, such as talking, walking etc.) is far outweighed by material existing in the thought and memory of the protagonists. Some discretion must be made in a plot summary as to which of these thoughts and memories warrant detailing."
 
seems like malarkey to me; it looks clear that someone started a super detailed summary of each section and then wandered off. As is, this section could use either a full overhaul or a deletion. [[User:AlCracka|AlCracka]] ([[User talk:AlCracka|talk]]) 10:19, 19 August 2015
