American Gods
Electric23, I realize that you are new to Wikipedia. You need to understand that this is not a place for you to publish personal reviews of a novel (or anything else for that matter). This is a site where we work together to build an encyclopedia for everyone to use. We do not publish original thought. We write articles from a neutral point of view using reliable sources. Please read the pages I have linked above as well as the five pillars of Wikipedia linked above. I have reverted your edits. I realize that you worked very hard on this, but this site is not an appropriate place to publish this material. If you want to take your writing and publish it elsewhere, you can find the content you wrote by going through the article's history page. Henrymrx (t&middot;c) 05:57, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I must back Henry up here. What you have written is not a plot summary, but your own review of the novel. Wikipedia does not publish such. I don't know what your December 1st date is about either, but it means nothing to Wikipedia. Edits that do not conform to the policies and guidelines established here will be removed. I urge you to read the links that Henry and I have provided - that way you will get a better understanding of what is and is not allowed here. IF you have any questions, I would be glad to try to help you. Lady  of  Shalott  15:22, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in American Gods, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. A8 UDI  19:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
