I've added {{WikiProject Freedom of speech}} to the top of this talk page, due to the article's discussion of censorship attempts throughout its history. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 17:49, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but where is the mention of the Netflix special? Generalist1 (talk) 12:13, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to see a reference for this: "In early October 2009, the federal institution of Australia Post banned the sale of this book in their stores and outlets claiming that books of this nature don't fit in with the "theme of their stores"." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.117.24.7 (talk) 03:37, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Does this need a longer/more comprehensive plot summary other than the 'Plot Introduction'? Dweckie (talk) 17:36, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think he’s referencing, or referring to all of the sex scenes Generalist1 (talk) 12:14, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2nd april 2017 - I am Italian and I was comparing the italian version of the novel to the english version: I discovered that at the end of chapter 12 a big part is missing, in most of the english versions I found in the internet, even in the one published here in Wikipedia. The part which is missing is mentioning the words "cunt" and "fuck", I can read the italian translation (by Gian Luca Guerneri, ed. Guaradi, 1995), ^[1] and I saw the version by Easy Read Edition pag. 279 ^[2] but anyway we should know that the version published in Wikipedia is not complete, but it's censored. 151.36.26.213 (talk) 17:28, 2 April 2017 (UTC)Alessandra[reply]

Spike Milligan wrote two different parodies of two different versions of Lawrence's book:

LADY CHATTERLEY’S LOVER - ACCORDING TO SPIKE MILLIGAN; Published by Michael Joseph 1994

D.H. LAWRENCE’S JOHN THOMAS AND LADY JANE ACCORDING TO SPIKE MILLIGAN; Published by Michael Joseph 1995

See the wikipedia page "John Thomas and Lady Jane" https://teknopedia.ac.id/wiki/John_Thomas_and_Lady_Jane — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agbneill (talk • contribs) 06:00, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John Thomas and Lady Jane was not published in 1927

The locations are mentioned ("They visit Wragby", " the inhabitants of Wragby and Tevershall", "a constant preoccupation in Wragby Hall.", but nowhere does the article actually name these places and describe their role. Presumably Wragby Hall is the Chatterleys' home, but it would be useful to say so. (I ended up here because I followed the redirect from Wragby Hall while working on Wragby, West Yorkshire).

PamD - Tevershall is Teversal and Teversal Manor. The setting/inspiration is Nottinghamshire, Lawrence’s birthplace, not Yorkshire. Hope that helps. KJP1 (talk) 21:15, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@KJP1 No, I'm suggesting that the article needs to explain what the names are, before mentioning them in the text. PamD 22:59, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, some explanation would be useful. Actual geographical location, or at least geographical inspiration, is a separate issue. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:24, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
