Differences between the serial and novel
[edit]Marcus Rowland added a passage about how the Mars part of the story differs between serial and novel version. The added content was as follows:
The abbreviated version in Pearson's Magazine omits the Martian's use of English, with Zaidie reacting to their perceptions of his behaviour, but is otherwise very similar.
I think noting the differences is a pretty good idea if we can do it for the entire story, but not if we only do it for some of it. I'm not sure what the best way to do it in the article would be—options include appending it at the end of the summary of each part of the story as was done here, using {{efn}} templates where needed, and dedicating a separate (sub-)section to it. I think it's worth noting that the secondary literature doesn't really talk about the differences apart from the beginning of the story being excised for the serial version, so it's not crucial to include this information if we go by their judgment (the novel version appears to be generally considered to be the "definitive" version). This also means that it would likely be necessary to rely on the WP:Primary sources for this—which I think should be okay as it is plot summary, but it gets a bit borderline since it is comparing two different primary sources, which might be considered to fall on the wrong side of acceptable uses thereof.
