Spoilers and Summaries

The plot as described here seems very vague, incomplete, and in need of addition. In the article, the plot summary reads:

This book is about a family that discovers a spring under the roots of a giant tree that gives the person who drinks it eternal life.

I think that this plot summary could be made more accurate and extensive. In reading previous comments, could this summary have been put in place of a decent summary because it had a spoiler? Really, anybody who reads a book synopsis should understand that it will include the ending.

I quote from WP:SW, a page on spoilers and how they should be handled:

It is not acceptable to delete information from an article because you think it spoils the plot.

and I also quote from WP:SW

Articles on the Internet sometimes feature a "spoiler warning" to alert readers to spoilers in the text, which they may then choose to avoid reading. Wikipedia has previously included such warnings in some articles on works of fiction. However, since it is generally expected that the subjects of our articles will be covered in detail, such warnings are considered unnecessary. Therefore, Wikipedia no longer carries spoiler warnings, except for the content disclaimer and section headings (such as "Plot" or "Ending") which imply the presence of spoilers.

Again, read Wikipedia:Spoiler, and remember Wikipedia regulations. The vast majority of article change suggestions that aren't considered necessary are easily resolved by looking at the already set-in-stone Wikipedia regulations. Look at them, they really sum up the point of Wikipedia as an ongoing project and collaboration of millions of editors, admins, and normal people who just want to contribute to where they are expert in.

well, the movie was fake and it started with the book which i just read. It is explained quite accurately and how would it spoil it for some one? then they shouldn't have been looking at it in the first place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.216.137 (talk) 18:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Has the book been translated?

And if, to which languages? Iivarius (talk) 21:07, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
