This plot summary is too long but according to wp:plot it is better to have summary that is too long than a version that is missing information. Remember wikipedia requires a plot section not an overview[[Special:Contributions/69.253.185.154|69.253.185.154]] ([[User talk:69.253.185.154|talk]]) 20:53, 19 August 2010 (UTC) |

:I disagree. ''While longer descriptions may appear to provide more data to the reader, a more concise summary may in fact be more informative as it highlights the most important elements. By focusing the reader's attention on the larger structures of a plot, without drowning it in trivial detail, a shorter summary can often help the reader to understand a work much better than an overlong one. Excessively detailed plot summaries may also infringe on copyright and fair-use concerns.'' from [[WP:PLOTSUM]]. [[User:Geoff B|Geoff B]] ([[User talk:Geoff B|talk]]) 20:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC) |
