- 15:2015:20, 17 November 2022 diff hist +144 In Our Time (short story collection) I have altered 'six' months to four as he was first discharged in November, and returned to his Red Cross duties, before almost immediately contracting jaundice and being returned to hospital in Milan. That second period in hospital had nothing to do with his mortar shell wounding. Far more serious is wrong claim that Hemingway was 'posted to Paris as a foreign correspondent. He wasn't at all. He moved to Paris on the promise that the Star would buy whatever he filed if they liked it.

- 13:3513:35, 30 October 2022 diff hist −50 m Across the River and into the Trees No evidence is provided, let alone suggested, that 'modern views of the novel are more positive'. The statement is wholly subjective and unsourced (and I gather Wikipedia is keen that all claims made should be sourced, though in practice it is very lax on the matter. Tag: Reverted

16 May 2020
- 12:2112:21, 16 May 2020 diff hist −81 Hadley Richardson I have removed the reference to Hemingway renting a room in a nearby hotel in Paris because biographers writing after Baker who mention it are simply repeating the claim, taking on trust Baker's claim. But Michael Reynolds, who perhaps did more research and double-checking than previous biographers tells us in an epilogue that he only added 'facts' about Hemingway's life he could independently verify. For this 'fact' the only source is Hemingway himself, and now know he made up a great deal.

- 10:5710:57, 4 November 2019 diff hist +285 Across the River and into the Trees I have now removed the claim as it is nothing but opinion and is wholly unsourced, and until it is sourced as an ‘important’ addition it cannot be carried.

Apparently, their affair was brief, no longer than a few weeks, but 'mistress' implies a longer-standing more formal relationship.
