Sing, Unburied, Sing
Hello and welcome again! I noticed your contributions to the Sing, Unburied, Sing entry. Thank you very much—the book definitely deserves a substantial entry! Since you are new (I think?) to Wikipedia, I wanted to offer a few tips on editing book entries.
 * One is that we try to strike a balance in the encyclopedia between giving detail and being succinct enough that readers can get the essentials quickly. For plot, this means we try to keep the section under 700 words; the one for Sing has grown to 1160 words.
 * The other main encyclopedia policy to know for novels is that outside the plot section, every claim should have a reference to a reliable source: on WP, we seek to summarize the documented opinions of experts, rather give our own opinion (the plot section is exempt because we trust that the source cited is the book itself.) So the themes section should only include ideas you can find a reference for.

You can read more about these policies at MOS:NOVELS and WP:OR, or I would be happy to try to answer any questions as best I can! I know WP is often very counterintuitive and hope these pointers can assist you, as it’s really wonderful to have another editor with an interest in this book and perhaps more like it! Thank you again for your work, and happy editing! Innisfree987 (talk) 16:57, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
