[edit] Reversed changes

I'm sorry that I've had to reverse the changes that you made but I did so for the following reasons:
1) Your new summary does not improve the understanding of the book in any notable way. It also neglects the detail of a key feature of the story in that it doesn't name the alphabeticised victims or their places of residence. It also makes errors such as "A madman is killing people in Europe." The action of the story clearly takes place in the UK.
2) There are no links in your summary. Links are not essential in Wikipedia but they do indicate well-researched pages.
3) I'm sorry to have to say this but your spelling and grammar are not up to standard. Sentences such as "He Kills in order of the alphabet" and "The next murder doesn't happen and a man walks into the police station and told the police that he did the crimes" which changes tense in mid-sentence, are good examples. It also doesn't help when you name the detective as "Hurcule Poriot".--Jtomlin1uk (talk) 09:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
