Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, paul2520 💬 02:49, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, a human here ...

Hi, I notice you've been editing some articles about novels, adding substantial detail to plot (great!) but no additional sources. Book articles are shown to be notable with citations to critical or scholarly discussion. That is part of a much larger requirement, that all Wikipedia articles must be on topics that are demonstrably notable as proven by multiple reliable (i.e. independent) sources. A plot summary is obviously primary and as such may contribute to an article's readability and intelligibility, but does nothing to say why the article should even exist, which hinges entirely on notability. Plot summaries are helpful but should be limited to 600 words or so; the plot discussion should never be more than half of an article, ideally considerably less. Therefore, any book article (I've written many of those) has to be constructed around such reliable sources as exist, organising and drawing out the key themes of the book, how it fits into its literary context, and so on. Hope this is helpful. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:16, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
