There's no consensus for removing the plot summary. If you don't want to read it, don't read the article. The book has already been released in the UK and the Eastern United States.--Chaser - T 04:20, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree, but wikipedia has a policy on posting spoilers of recent movies and books, doesn't that apply here. I know the book has been released, I have it, but what about copyright infringement.Saurabh Rahurkar 04:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia has a policy on posting spoilers of recent movies and books. Which policy are you referencing? WP:SPOILER is about spoiler warnings. Plot summaries don't violate copyright. Posting lots of text verbatim violates copyright. Shorts quotes are fair use. I hope that clarifies. You can post further replies here.--Chaser - T 04:31, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
With regards to the consensus, I think it makes more sense to leave out the spoiler until a consensus is reached to post it. At least put the spoiler warning back.Saurabh Rahurkar 04:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't care about the spoiler warning (though other editors on the page are reverting it back and forth). The inclusion of the plot has a strong talk page consensus. The idea was always to post the plot upon release of the books.--Chaser - T 04:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Somehow it just doesnt feel right to have a spoiler that detailed and long a few hours after the book release.Saurabh Rahurkar 04:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I suspect many people read the copy leaked onto the internet. That was kept off the article the last few days as unverifiable, but now anyone can buy the book and check the plot summary for accuracy. A lot of that is happening in these first few hours after release. As to it not feeling right, there's nothing I can do for you there.--Chaser - T 04:45, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
