Character Name Spellings

edit

Although "Rumpelstiltskin" is the traditional spelling, this character's name was spelled "Rumplestiltskin" last season, on the dagger that controls his powers. And Viktor's name can be read with that spelling on the military commission shown in the episode. Thus, these are the spellings we should use, unless and until they are superseded by different spellings shown on-screen in later episodes. --DavidK93 (talk) 14:26, 28 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Length of plot summary

edit

The plot summary is well written, but according to Wikipedia policy, television show plot summaries should be 200-500 words (see WP:TVPLOT.) This one is three time that long already, containing every little detail and losing its encyclopedic value. It will need some shortening up. —Anne Delong (talk) 16:20, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

I took a crack at it. From 1562 words to 1360. Not a huge dent. It's difficult; there are a lot of subplots and a lot of things tend to happen. --DavidK93 (talk) 23:58, 3 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thanks; you've improved it considerably. —Anne Delong (talk) 15:03, 4 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Nice additional refinements, yourself. Accordingly, would you be comfortable removing the tag? --DavidK93 (talk) 21:59, 9 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Inline Citations

edit

Each item in the reference list appears to already be properly cited inline where the information from it is used. The plot summary has no citations, because the episode itself is the source. If there is no objection within a few days, I will remove that tag. --DavidK93 (talk) 21:57, 9 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hmmm... If the episode is the source, shouldn't it be referenced on the page? I've never tried to reference a live television show, but I'm presuming that editors who like to create plot summaries must know how to do this. If that were added, I'd agree that it was a sufficient source for the plot summary. —Anne Delong (talk) 22:33, 9 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
