Final Crisis

Broadly with plot summaries, this is how it works - out of universe material such as the writer explaining his story-telling decisions, the artist taking about how he structured panels, notable critics giving their critical analysis about what the story telling method was - we don't really worry about the length - because those are the fundamental materials we use to build articles. Secondary sources (articles, interviews, reviews) talking about the primary source (the comic itself). So when we have a problem with an article that is "in-universe" (written as if the fictional events actually happened), we concentrate on removing or re-writing the material so it uses the sort of tone mentioned at the manual of Style WP:MOS. If you write about it as if it's real, it's the wrong sort of writing. --Cameron Scott (talk) 19:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

"3-4 paragraphs" - heh, which is my original position on such matters - we are currently have an debate over at the comic project about what should be in a plot summary, pop over and let's hear your voice. --Cameron Scott (talk) 02:47, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey

I just read your question about what is in-universe versus out-of-universe. I think what is meant by that is somebody that is a deep or moderate fan of something (like a comic) is "in-universe", while a new/lapsed/former/non fan would be varying forms of being "out-of-universe". --Call me Bubba (talk) 03:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
