Analysis
The Wikipedia article for "Colorless Tsukuru and His Years of Pilgrimage" doesn't seem to be entirely complete as it lacks depth- the characters only given physical traits and the summary on scratching the surface. Authors begin the contents section with a synopsis similar to the summary found on the back of a book. It, however, is too generic and seems to be avoiding major plot points as to not spoil the book. The hesitation portrays a pretty vague plot line that does not do the book justice. Moving on to the character list, we get character names as well as the physical description that author gives them, and their main role in the book. Again, the descriptions are general and vague. Some characters even have major changes that aren't included in their description. For example, our protagonist Tsukuru is described as "36. Single. Liked train station since childhood, and now makes a living designing train stations at a railway company in Tokyo." Readers of the book know that, while Tsukuru's fondness of trains is important, it is the time he spends at stations not working that is important to the plot- not his job. The content section closes with chapter breakdowns, stating the main action points of each.

I didn't find this article to be too good based on the lack of details. The book is written by Haruki Murakami, an author famous for the relationships he builds through his characters and his focus on emotion and dialogue rather than action. This article only focuses on the literal words that he writes, x,y, and z happeneing, and how he or she looks and, as a result, reviews the book rather blandly. As an editor, I would add an entire section about relationships between the characters, focusing on the bond they have and how it develops, and how the protagonist changes with it.

My addition can be found in Ivy's Sandbox. I worked to paraphrase Cogswell's article and helped paraphrase Bick's as well. I also peer reviewed Taylor and Gurnis.
