The "Plot Introduction" is something of a spoiler (unsigned comment)

It should be remarked that contrary to the above Wikipedia synopsis of "Wieland," the book does not explicitly state it was Carwin's voice that prompted Wieland to his crimes. Rather, the reader is simply left to wonder and guess who and what voices Wieland heard; with Carwin's ventriloquist voice being one possible explanation but by no means the only one. (unsigned comment)

These are both germane points. I've edited the "Plot Introduction" to make it more introductory. I'll be back to work on the plot summary and other elements of the page, unless someone beats me to it :) AngelaVietto (talk) 05:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Concern about supposed 'spoilers' is not the business of an encyclopedia and is no longer wikipedia policy. Colin4C (talk) 09:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay, point taken. I guess the real problem was and is the differentiation between a "plot introduction" and a "plot summary." I don't really see the point of a plot introduction, so Colin's edit makes sense to me.AngelaVietto (talk) 16:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
