Talk:Insomnia (novel)

[edit] Why?

...Chris Stangl: No reason to keep changing my edits. The trivia is helpful. The edits go into detail. --Kozmik_Pariah

There are lots of reasons to change your edits. Please see the Category: The Dark Tower Talk page, and/or the King main article discussion page for what I feel are solid, well-reasoned arguments against making excessive, redundant and confusing lists and links between every single King novel. Basically all King's work can be connected first or second-hand to the Dark Tower novels, and the key books already have many links and listings to explain that. I've been deleting your Cat: Dark Tower links because all they do is clog up the DT index page: there's already an index of every single King novel. Keep the Dark Tower index for Dark Tower articles, not every article with a passing mention of Dark Tower.

I do not at all understand the fad for having "Trivia" sections in Wikipedia articles. Cruise through the Featured Article list and see how many include Trivia headings. If it's truly trivial, it obviously has no place in an encyclopedia entry.

I'm not trying to be mean; I'm trying to be helpful, but a lot of my reverts of your plot summary additions were just because the writing is so shoddy it was going to be as much work to copyedit it as write it afresh. Just because something "goes into detail" doesn't mean the details are useful or well-stated. Chris Stangl 02:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ralph sees clown?

I deleted "Trivia: Ralph spots a clown in the sewers that appears to match the description of It." He doesn't.--Ellissound 22:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
