Novel articles

First off, only the first word of the section needs to be capitalized if the title is not a proper noun. See the Manual of Style. Second, the appropriate name for the section is "Plot synopsis", as it is a detailed summary of the story. Please do not continue to change the articles the way you have been doing.--Spartacus TalkContribs 13:33, 18 July 2013 (EDT)

About images of books

It is best to not upload the full content of a book product in this wiki as it is likely to not be considered as fair use: full content would also cover displaying a full page of a book product. An article on a book product is to provide an overview about the book product itself (such as what the contents are, who are the authors, etc) as well as providing links to websites that has been authorised to give previews of the book product's content (such as Amazon, publisher's website).

Anyway, keep up the great work with the uniformity of articles! Loving your contributions, especially the ones on comics! :D — subtank 23:45, 19 July 2013 (EDT)

Also, when uploading files, please make sure whether there is an older file in the wiki. If there are any, upload a new version of the file via link provided in the file page. For example, I recently uploaded the image you uploaded to the wiki to the old Art of Halo file, done via the light-blue link "Upload a new version of this file".— subtank 00:00, 20 July 2013 (EDT)

Write, don't copy

Per above, do not copy content word-for-word from another site.--Spartacus TalkContribs 19:19, 6 July 2014 (EDT)
