Blankets
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Blankets (comics), as we really appreciate your participation. However, most of the edits had to be reverted, because quite a bit of the material, such as the claimed reason for the inclusion of Craig and Phil's childhood adventures in each chapter of the book, and the comment that Raina "focuses on others before she focuses on herself and God" constitute synthesis, which is a form of original research, and prohibited by Wikipedia's policies. Any assertion about a narrative work that is analytical, evaluative or interpretative requires citations of secondary sources.

Some of the other material you added is redundant. The passage "The chapters go back and forth between the author's childhood and his current life in the book.", for example, is unnecessary, because it immediately follows a sentence that already says that.

Other details, such as "Kids would often mention that his hair makes him look like a girl and that his parents are so religious that it makes the town sick" or the occasions during which Raina visits Craig's house or Craig returns home as a grown man are merely trivia. Synopses of books, movies, TV episodes, etc., should be summarized in such a way that a reader can understand the basic plot. Any material that does not assist in that function should be left out. Although I don't know if there's a page on Wikipedia that deals with writing book synopses, the explanations at WP:FILMPLOT and WP:TVPLOT are applicable here.

If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 05:23, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
