Episode article
editWe have two pages for this episode. This one and The Haunting of Villa Didoati; note the slight difference in the spelling of the last word. Can someone please check the spelling used in the episode (check the episode itself, not the historical name as the episode might have changed it) and then we need an editor to delete the incorrect page.

- Diodati is correct; I have redirected the other episode article here. -- /Alex/21 22:05, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Villa Diodati
editThree times now, another editor has removed the indisputable statement:
- The action takes place at the Villa Diodati.
from this article, firstly with no explanation, and then with edit summaries to the effect that "this is not a plot". It isn't, but it does describe a part of the plot, and so belongs in the plot section, from where it was so oddly removed, leaving that section empty, and the article with no link to the article about both its setting and its namesake.

- How is it a plot? It's a premise, if that. A plot is "the main events of a play, novel, film, or similar work, devised and presented by the writer as an interrelated sequence". Does "The action takes place at the Villa Diodati." take note of the supporting characters, the story arc, the main characters? No. A full plot will be added presently, I'm sure; there's no rush. -- /Alex/21 06:55, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
- Your opening sentence is answered in my post, the remainder fof which you also ignore. Your repeated remval of the statement is wholly unjustified. It should be restored. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:55, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
- And now there's an actual plot. Problem solved. How hard was that?
