[edit] I Am Legend novel/film comparison

DukeDoom, I reverted your revert at I Am Legend where you compared the endings of the novel and the film. Liquidfinale and I aren't disputing what you read in the novel or saw in the movie. It's just that WP:NOR doesn't let editors make those comparisons, despite how "obvious" they may seem. We only can find a reliable source who makes that comparison and work it into the article (and cite it). Additionally, novel/film differences are discouraged unless they have a significant impact on the adaptation (which this example could have), but reference to it is usually made in a Development or Production section, not the Plot.

I hope this explains my action, and thanks for contributing to the article.
