Hiya. I'm leaving this here instead of making a new section because it's related to the message Doniago left you last month. While I was working through a backlog of plot summaries in film articles I've been meaning to fix up, I came across John Q. When I checked into the article history, as I always do, I realized that much of the plot bloat there came directly from your efforts over several years and that you've been reverted and warned about this multiple times since at least 2014. It's obvious you have a passion for films and that, like me, you enjoy working on the plot sections. I wanted to direct you, again, to the plot section of the film project's style guidelines so you can get a better idea of when that kind of length is needed in an article and what the goal of the plot summary is within the larger scope of WIkipedia at large. Millahnna (talk) 02:31, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Nashwalker, the time for you to respond to other editors' concerns came a long time ago: you cannot simply ignore this. I see editors signaled problems with your plot additions years ago, and they have a point. The long and short of it is that if you a. continue to edit in the same vein, bloating plot summaries, and b. refuse to learn from and communicate with other editors, you will end up being blocked for disruptive editing. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 03:13, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Animal Crackers (2017 film). ''WP:FILMPLOT again. Stop it.'' Binksternet (talk) 02:51, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Nash, I took the plot summary you last added at Animal Crackers and cut it down to under 700 words. I'm not familiar with the film, but there were a lot of details and linguistic fluff, cliches, etc. that seemed unnecessary to me. Our goal is to provide a general overview of the plot, not replace the experience of seeing it. Sometimes it can be difficult to find the right details to omit, but with practice it can get easier. I didn't look at the version that existed before yours, so my changes aren't based on a preconceived opinion. My version is as follows:


 * Brothers Bob and Horatio Huntington run a circus. Their gypsy partner Esmerelda introduces them to her niece Talia. Both brothers are smitten, but Talia chooses Bob and they get engaged. Horatio feels betrayed. On the couple's wedding day, Esmerelda gives them a mysterious box, allowing them to open a circus full of magical animals who perform amazing stunts.


 * Years later, Bob's nephew Owen falls in love with a girl, Zoe. They grow up, and Owen proposes to her. Her father Mr. Woodley persuades Owen to prove himself worthy of his daughter, so Owen takes a job at Woodley's dog biscuit factory as a taste tester. Horatio, now washed-up, sneaks into Bob's circus at night, trying to learn where the magic animals come from. One night, circus animals Old Blue and Zena discover him, and in the ensuing scuffle, a fire starts and Bob and Talia die. Horatio crashes their memorial service and declares that he is taking over the circus as retribution for Bob choosing Talia. He and his henchmen attack the performers, causing Owen and his family to flee.


 * Old Blue and Zena give Owen and Zoe the magic box. Owen discovers that the box holds animal crackers and inadvertently eats one of them, turning into a guinea pig. Clown Chesterfield explains that the cookies turn people into the animal they eat, and it is full of unlimited animal cookies, but there is only one human cookie for each person to return to normal. The Huntingtons learn they've inherited the circus. Zoe is excited and quits her factory job and restarts the circus, but Owen still wants to prove himself to Woodley, so he keeps working at the factory. Woodley, angered over his daughter's departure, considers another employee, egotistical Brock, to become his successor.


 * Zoe persuades Owen to attend the re-opening of the magic animal circus, but it is a disaster because the audience is upset with the lack of animals. Owen is reluctant to become a performer, but changes his mind, and comes to enjoy performing. He quits his factory job, but as he packs up his office, Brock takes the animal cracker box, eats one of the cookies and turns into a mandrill. To catch up with Brock, Owen turns into a lion, but Brock falls out of a window, where one of Horatio's henchman briefly takes the box before Owen appears and scares him off.


 * At home, Owen discovers he has lost his human cookie, leaving him permanently trapped in animal form. Zoe struggles to accept this, but hopes that Owen can adjust to life as an animal. Meanwhile, Woodley's employee Binkley, who has been trying to come up with a new type of dog biscuit, discovers the magic cookies, and persuades Woodley to visit the circus to see his family.


 * Weeks pass and Owen is unable to find a suitable animal form. His relationship with his family suffers. One night, Horatio arrives with Owen's human cookie, offering to turn him back to normal as long as he turns the circus over to him. Owen refuses, deciding to remain an animal for as long as it keeps his family together. Horatio's henchmen are now animal hybrids after eating broken cookie pieces. They intimidate Owen into accepting the deal.


 * The circus performers unite to battle the henchmen and recover the box. Horatio eats the remaining broken cookies he has and turns himself into a chimera. Old Blue and Zena reveal themselves to be Bob and Talia; they escaped the fire, but their human cookies were destroyed, so they can never be human again. They plead with Horatio to redeem himself. Horatio refuses, and flies off with them. Owen's family works together to save Bob and Talia and capture Horatio and his henchmen. Owen turns Horatio into a hamster as punishment. Woodley, who saw the battle, reevaluates his views on the circus and accepts Owen and Zoe working there. He and Binkley rework the failed dog biscuit experiments into a new circus souvenir: animal crackers that temporarily turn the eater's skin into animal patterns. The Huntingtons and their friends continue to run the circus, with Owen debuting a new transformation: a dragon.


 * I'm not saying it's perfect, and I got lost in the area where Brock falls out a window. But hopefully you'll see the kinds of things that are easily cut when we focus. Some examples:
 * "a now-unsuccessful and washed-up Horatio" is wordy. "Horatio, now washed-up" is shorter and not repetitive, since "washed-up" typically means unsuccessful.
 * "He and his henchmen instigate a brawl with the performers" can be shortened to "He and his henchmen attack the performers" or "fight the performers".
 * "Owen is at first reluctant to take action, acknowledging he is not a performer, but is persuaded by Mackenzie, the other performers, and the dying audience." I shortened this to "Owen is reluctant to become a performer, but changes his mind, and comes to enjoy performing", since the details aren't as important as the character arc. It saves about 10 words and could possibly be even shorter. These changes add up.
 * I hope you don't take my notes as hostile criticism, I'm trying to help by giving you some constructive examples. And just so you know, the community typically doesn't care for user pages that target irritation at other editors, so I hope you'll maybe take a look at our userpage guidelines and please consider scaling back some of the upset. Nobody hates you, and that's why I took some time to edit down an alternative that observes your contributions, but that still adheres to community guidelines. Thanks and regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:48, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Nashwalker, at The Color Purple (film) you added more plot text even though the plot section was already too large. Why did you do that? You must choose an online word counter tool, of which there are several. With the tool, you must check on the plot size before you add to it, and you can see whether the plot needs some wordiness removed so that your intended addition will fit.

You added more to an already bloated plot at The Search for Santa Paws also. I also note that almost all of your edits are unexplained, and that you still have not bothered to respond to any of your fellow editors' messages on your talk page. And in your entire Wikipedia career, you have made only two edits to article talk pages, though many of your edits have been reverted.
