Plot summaries

Hi there. I saw that you're working on plot summaries. That's definitely work that we need done. However, I think your time would be better spent on plot summaries that have been tagged as too long. You can see a cleanup category at Category:All Wikipedia articles with plot summary needing attention. These articles should be pruned down to between 400 and 700 words. Generally, I like to hit about 650 words, which leaves room for expansion by other editors, yet includes enough detail to help readers understand the film. When you streamline down a plot that's already within the limits, it can remove necessary detail. There's nothing wrong with removing a few unnecessary modifiers or rewriting a sentence to be more concise, but you should definitely be careful when removing plot details.

@NinjaRobotPirate: That makes sense. I'll do that. Thanks for the advice. --JeremyCarl (talk) 12:46, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I like to work on plot summaries, too. Let me know if I can be any help! Oh, I forgot! I wrote something that might interest you: User:NinjaRobotPirate/How to streamline a plot summary. Maybe you could suggest some things that I forgot. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:51, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, JeremyCarl. As you may have seen because of the WP:Ping, I've discussed the matter with NinjaRobotPirate at his talk page. I agree with the advice he's given you. Cutting the plot down in overbloated cases is obviously fine, but just make sure that you are not cutting important detail. Otherwise, you might be reverted even in a case of a plot summary that exceeds the WP:Film plot "between 400 and 700 words" limit. If a plot summary is already under the limit (even if it's at 650 words), I'm usually against more cutting, as the extra content is not a problem and such plot summaries have often been worked out by others to include necessary detail. Also be aware that WP:Hidden notes and/or references can add to the word count and should not be counted. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 19:27, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Dark Knight

you made a lot of errors in grammar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.60.230 (talk) 03:54, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Plot size

At Bridge of Spies (film), I rolled back the plot to its condition in late 2015 to comply with the 700-word limit guideline at WP:FILMPLOT. In the process, all of your work was removed. You might give the guideline a quick read so that your future plot work isn't wasted. Binksternet (talk) 03:52, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Risen (video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Spells. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Shot Caller (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CI (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
