Narrative sypnosis section

@Sergecross73: Hello. About the sypnosis area that was recently removed, I would like to clarify that the story's source came from this website, which appears to be a reliable source: 'https://duckduckgo.com/?q=blueprint+ferry+corsten+story&t=hg&ia=web' [The second link at the Trancepodium website, I can't paste it directly here as it's blocked], and was not of original research. I couldn't put it as a citation though as Wikipedia unknowingly blacklisted that site and it was blocked when I tried to cite it, thus I will try to appeal to get it whitelisted. An alternative reference has been put up to cite the sypnosis, which was Blueprint's official website, as the narrative for each track was included in there. But it's definitely a lacklustre primary source.

As for the length, I agree that it's a bit too long for a summary. So if resubmission of the text is allowed, I'll do my best to shorten it even further, with your supervision of the page.

May I ask for your permission to resubmit the section with a better reference and to decrease the text length? I believe that the narrative sypnosis section would benefit this article as Blueprint is a concept-based album with a story, therefore the story should be known to readers of this page. Thanks. aNode (discuss) 05:38, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In theory, yes, it's completely fine to have a "Themes/Lyrical Themes/Concept" type section in an article, especially for a concept album. But it needs to be entirely sourced, and written as an encyclopedic manner. It should not sound like a transcript or an informal retelling of it like that. I'm unfamiliar with Trancepodium, but as long as its blacklisted by Wikipedia, is safe to assume that it's not a reliable or usable source to be writing according to on Wikipedia. It also should be far shorter. Look at something like The Wall as far as how to do it right. Sergecross73 msg me 14:49, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
