Talk:The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans

Plot summary suggestion
Holmes' solution centers on the essential set of mechanical drawings that the thieves did not get. "The double valves with the automatic self-adjusting slots are drawn in one of the papers which have been returned." The opportunity to acquire that crucial paper drew the spy into a trap.

Real Life Crime?

 * Supposedly the theft of the Irish Crown Jewels was an inspiration for this story. Conan Doyle was related to Arthur Vicars —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.53.145.50 (talk) 12:36, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Underground Map
I have re-inserted the underground map since it provides the context of the story, especially the discovery of the body and how it came to be found where it was. Any objections?? Peterlewis (talk) 09:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Commentary section
The "Commentary" section is written almost more like a critical/analytical essay than an encyclopedic entry. I'm hesitant to simply remove it myself, but something ought to be done. 63.3.9.129 (talk) 00:27, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

There are no sources cited in this section. Once removed, per WP:BURDEN, which is Wikipedia policy, the section should not be restored unless sources are added. Otherwise, such analysis or editorializing simply does not belong in an encyclopedia article (see WP:NOR). —67.14.236.50 (talk) 12:55, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
