Question from my talk page
What you added to the plot summary doesn't look to me like it violated any policies, however what you added to the section called "Major themes" is highly interpretive. In Wikipedia, you can cite others' interpretations if such interpretations are published notable sources, but you can't make your own interpretations because this is considered original research. Adding material from your class project is original research (the class is interpreting and doing the research, in this case). However, adding plain, unadorned facts to a plot summary isn't original research, because the novel can be cited as a source about itself, so long as NO interpretations are being made. Also, when your work gets reverted and then you keep putting it in, that is considered vandalism. The right way is to bring up the topic on the article talk page and ask that others not revert your work, with reasons why given, and then, ONLY if concensus is on your side, re-add the material (or whatever parts of the material aren't causing policy concerns).
