[edit] Copyvio

The plot section is taken word-for-word from the dust jacket summary. --Silver2195 18:37, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I have now reverted to a version without a synopsis. --Silver2195 18:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] And copyvio again

It's great that there is an interest in adding to this article. However, please note that copy-pasting a synopsis from Amazon, the book's dust jacket, or any other source is a COPYRIGHT VIOLATION. Taking a synopsis from someplace else and changing it slightly is the same thing, copyvio. It's against Wikipedia policy and will always be removed immediately.

If you would like to add a synopsis, it must be in your own original words. Mademoiselle Sabina 06:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I may be the only one whos read the book here, but why can't you just do the plot of the story instead of the "synopsis"? After all, don't most Wikipedia pages on novels have "plots"? -Elliotespendago 16:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

shrug I've seen it several ways: "plot," "story," or "synopsis; "summary" would also work. Either way, the section just tells the audience what happens in the book. I do prefer the word synopsis because it's a little more descriptive than 'plot.'

The point of my earlier comment was not to tell people what they could or couldn't write here, but to warn them to stop with the copyvio. Both of the synopses posted in the article earlier were simply copied and pasted, or copied and paraphrased from other sources. That's against Wiki rules.
