Talk:The Baron in the Trees

Removing sourced text
The editor(s) of the following IP addresses (geolocated in Rome) have repeatedly removed verifiable sources despite my edit summaries on the relevant Wikipedia rules:


 * 87.11.32.18
 * 87.9.47.228
 * 87.10.24.100
 * 80.116.181.47

I've made inquiries as how best to procede in what appears to be a case of disruptive editing in which an editor refuses to make summaries or even discuss the matter on the Talk Page. If, on the other hand, these disruptive edits were made in good faith, do please outline your reasons so that we can try and resolve the problem. --Jumbolino (talk) 14:36, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

plot summary inadequate
It is too detailed in the first one and half sections of the book, and glosses over the rest by one sentence. The summary is also broken, without proper transition between paragraphs. Schpnhr (talk) 06:08, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Plot summary completely wrong, reverting
As far as I can tell, this plot summary was written by someone who really didn't understand the story at all, or had some memory of it from years ago. I'm removing it because (a) it's all completely wrong, as described below, and (b) it devotes the entire summary to the first ten pages of the book, and then finishes lamely with "From the branch, Cosimo uses his spadino (little sword) to pierce the apple in the girl's hand. Ultimately, Cosimo finds a way to stay in the trees for most of his life," which basically describes the other 99% of the book in one sentence.

I'm reverting the summary back to the way it was before User:I Draghi di Vroengard edited it, as it was in a fairly good state before.

I'm making a whole-sale reversion, but below is a point-by-point summary of some of the many things wrong with the summary:

Tense problems in plot summary
It might just be me, but the whole last couple paragraphs of the plot summary feel decidedly unencyclopedic (and the overuse of "will" in the future tense is a bit odd). Anyone feel the same way? 2601:646:8100:F950:54B4:F967:8572:43D3 (talk) 06:36, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
