Please stop edit

Hi! I notice you keep changing Itaewon Class plot summary on its article. Please do not write or add a summary that's too long. Ideally, you should keep it between 400 to 700 words. If you wish to add the details of the story, add a new section called "Episodes" instead; see the example here. (per MOS:PLOT and Wikipedia:How to write a plot summary)

Additionally, that's not how you write a Korean name. Click here for more information. Thanks. HiChrisBoyleHere (talk) 12:46, 16 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

I've been doing summaries for years and you're the only one picking a bone about it. I prefer to do plot summaries over episodes sections because it's just easier and far less time consuming. The naming scheme was set up in other wikis and not a single person made it an issue beside you. I will try to shorten the summaries if it means to stop the erasures, but I like how I do things. Taikage (talk) 16:32, 16 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

I totally understand if you want to add some details to the story but sadly speaking this is not how it's done. See "The Uncanny Counter" or "Alice" synopsis because they both set great examples on how to write a series synopsis with some details (especially Korean dramas). Thanks. HiChrisBoyleHere (talk) 14:47, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Small comment edit

When adding plot summaries, do not add actor names in parentheses per WP:FILMPLOT. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 18:07, 16 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Shadow of Justice moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Shadow of Justice, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. In addition the plot section is waaaaay too long and needs to be significantly trimmed.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Mirrors edit

  Thanks for contributing to the article Belinda Hamnett. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.
