Hi, please don't delete spoiler from The Mediator. All other articles about books, films, etc contain spoiler, too. Readers may want to read the summary of the whole story or understand the roles of characters in the series. That information is helpful

Hello! I'm sorry for completely deleting some portions of your spoilers - I've read up on editing guidelines and now know that it would have been more polite to rearrange them or move them to the talk page. While spoilers can be good fun for someone who has already read a series, there are many people who will be viewing the Mediator page without prior knowledge of the series, wanting only to get an idea of what it is about. What I think we should do to accomodate everyone is keep the summaries spoiler-free and go more in-depth in a synopsis. I started doing that with Shadowland. For the characters, I was thinking we could keep their descriptions spoiler-free and short on the front page and give them more in-depth character pages, if deemed necessary. For example, the fact that Marcus Beaumont is the murderer in "Ninth Key" is a major spoiler for the book. On the front page we could have "Marcus Beaumont - Brother of Red Beaumont and Uncle of Tad Beaumont," and then on a seperate page for Marcus alone, "Marcus Beaumont - Brother of Red Beautmonth and Uncle of Tad Beautmont. After the death of Red's wife, Marcus begins to routinely drug Red. The drugs cause Red to display symptoms of mental illness, making him believe he is a bloodthirsty vampire. Marcus uses his brother's illness as an excuse to take over his company and, as leader, has anyone who stands in his way murdered, including Mrs. Fiske, the ghost of a woman Susannah Simon encounters...." Et cetera, et cetera. Sound good? I can tell that you really love this series, too! I'm not trying to undo all your work on this page, I just want to make it a bit more coherant and organized!
