Talk:8.13 Everybody Hates Hitler
Summary
Needs to be like the other summaries on this site, not copied from Wikipedia. By the way, I wrote the Wikipedia summary. I don't mind it being copied, that's fine, but it needs to match what we do on this site.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) 21:38, 8 February 2013 (PST)
- Unsolicited opinion from someone who never does the synopses: I liked those short summaries (except for the spelling mistakes). "Synopsis" means "a brief, condensed statement or outline", not a blow-by-blow account like some of ours are. If you go back to the earlier seasons, the synopses on this site used to be a lot shorter and in my opinion they were easier to use if you were trying to identify an episode. If you want the blow-by-blow, there's always the transcripts. --Zebra363 (talk) 01:07, 9 February 2013 (PST)
- May I recommend a new section, "Summary", above "Synopsis", in which to sum up the episode in under two hundred words? —EllieMurasaki (talk) 11:17, 9 February 2013 (PST)
- I wrote the original summary on Wikipedia (did it for Citizen Fang through this one actually) that was copied and I honestly don't mind the copying, but its just not the way we do the summaries on this page.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) 12:50, 9 February 2013 (PST)

- There's plenty of variability in how things are done on this site, not surprisingly after so many seasons. The synopsis for Tall Tales, for example, is under 250 words and probably comes closer to meeting the definition of a "synopsis" than some of the recent ones. I thought your summaries were quite good. --Zebra363 (talk) 15:38, 9 February 2013 (PST)
