Final Crisis

Broadly with plot summaries, this is how it works - out of universe material such as the writer explaining his story-telling decisions, the artist taking about how he structured panels, notable critics giving their critical analysis about what the story telling method was - we don't really worry about the length - because those are the fundamental materials we use to build articles. Secondary sources (articles, interviews, reviews) talking about the primary source (the comic itself). So when we have a problem with an article that is "in-universe" (written as if the fictional events actually happened), we concentrate on removing or re-writing the material so it uses the sort of tone mentioned at the manual of Style WP:MOS. If you write about it as if it's real, it's the wrong sort of writing. --Cameron Scott (talk) 19:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"3-4 paragraphs" - heh, which is my original position on such matters - we are currently have an debate over at the comic project about what should be in a plot summary, pop over and let's hear your voice. --Cameron Scott (talk) 02:47, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

I just read your question about what is in-universe versus out-of-universe. I think what is meant by that is somebody that is a deep or moderate fan of something (like a comic) is "in-universe", while a new/lapsed/former/non fan would be varying forms of being "out-of-universe". --Call me Bubba (talk) 03:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
