Plot edit
The plot is a bit bare and a bit off-putting. Given that we don't know how faithful to the book the film will be, I know we can't copy-paste from there, but would it not be reasonable to put a short, spoiler-free, broad-stroke synopsis in there provisionally? Disclaimer: I am a huge fan of the book (Mortal Engines and His Dark Materials have been defining parts of my life) and really, really want this to do well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.89.20 (talk) 19:14, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- The problem is that people were copy-pasting copyrighted text into Wikipedia, so I briefly summarized what the sources were saying. However, I have no idea what the film or book are about. If you can do a better job of writing a plot synopsis, you should give it a go. You're right that we don't know how faithful the film will be, but this newspaper seems to have a trailer and synopsis. You can't copy what they wrote, but you can summarize it in your own words. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:27, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- I had a go, just saw the edit history and saw the stuff about copyrighted text. I had the opening line, quotated and referenced, but I'll remove that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:8BC:F100:BC53:9500:758F:7FFC (talk) 01:44, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
Didn't research the Wiki-Rule about Redirects but... edit
The second mention of Leila George redirects back to this article. Is there ANY utility to that? 2600:8807:4803:CB00:BCB7:8FD8:8701:E5C7 (talk) 20:52, 5 June 2018 (UTC) (Dfoofnik not logged in)
