Talk:The Words (film)

I do not believe the plot summary here correctly describes what actually takes place at the end of the film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1010:B124:2374:AEC3:A1AD:6AE1:2AAF (talk) 09:31, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Originality Issue
I had noted earlier that the plotline very closely follows that of an earlier book by Swiss author Martin Suter, had given the title of the book as well as some description of the originality of the plotline. It was removed because it was "inappropriate". I do not wish to enter an edit war, but it was clearly referenced and described and could be verified by anyone -- that is, anyone able to read the original German book. For the others, I tried to describe the similarities clearly. Why is such a remark inappropriate? I think it needs to come back to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.191.191.52 (talk) 07:48, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * For purposes of Wikipedia policy it is considered "original research" to consult primary sources and draw the conclusion that one work was drawn from or inspired by another. Read No original research. However, there are various reliable sources that can be cited in a Wikipedia article noting the similarity, for example Mathew5000 (talk) 18:18, 12 January 2013 (UTC)


 * That is correct. I removed the section as "unacceptable and unsourced original research"; at no point did I indicate its inclusion was "inappropriate". Since it could be "verified by anyone," the original editor was remiss in not providing references in the first place. Now that appropriate sources have been provided, I'm perfectly content to see it remain. Grandpallama (talk) 14:26, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
