Talk:The Children's Story

Removed from Novels Wikiproject
This article had been tagged for awhile as being part of the Novels WikiProject, however I decided to remove the tag. The article describes the book as a short story, and checking my own copy there is no denying that the actual word count of the book places it far below even the novella threshold. If someone wants to overrule me, I have to objection, but I don't think this book is long enough to qualify for the Novels WikiProject. 23skidoo 01:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * More recently NovelsWikiProject has expanded it's scope to include short stories. :: Kevinalewis  :  (Talk Page) / (Desk)  15:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

That's nice, but what's the plot?
The plot summary is interesting, in that it says nothing about the book's plot. It says plenty about how the book was conceived (in fact for the most part it reads like one big quote) but very little about its actual contents other than that it concerned indoctronation. And then it starts talking about the film adaptation... So, umm, seriously, what is the plot? Darien Shields 04:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Read the story yourself: REMOVED BY Wellspring DUE TO COPYRIGHT VIOLATION. I'm not sure if this should be linked from the articel though.. You can also watch it on youtube.83.146.14.92 (talk)


 * I agree. This "plot summary" consists of interpretations which, while appropriate to the entry, are not plot. Also, I've removed the link; it's a clear copyright violation. In any event "read the story yourself" is hardly an appropriate response to the objection raised. Wellspring (talk) 19:07, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
