Hey! Please stop ''immediately'' with your edits to ''[[Enter Wildthyme (novel)|Enter Wildthyme]]''. Brevity is only the goal for biographies of recurring characters. Plot summaries on story pages should be '''as detailed as possible''' and your edits are entirely counterproductive.

:If [[User:Epsilon the Eternal]]'s plot summary actually ''quoted'' the text that would certainly be improper, but that is not, as far as I know, the case. He merely summarises every ''event'', great or small, in the story, much as many TV summaries do. I recognise that you meant well, but there is nothing wrong with Epsilon's summary nor any other very long summaries. Keep off of them.

::By all means add ''more'' details, or reword certain things! My mass reversal was an emergency measure, not a pronouncement that your edits were ''all'' bad and there could be no improvement on Epsilon's version. I am merely saying that your fundamental philosophy was misguided: length and detail are ''not'' flaws in a plot summary; there is no such thing as an ''unnecessary'' detail. If it's an event that happens in the story, and someone spent the time to summarise it, it has its place in the summary.
