==How do I send a Message to other editors==
Hello I would like to send a message to another editor specifically (as opposed to a general article issue) -- do I click their USERID and then click "Talk"?  Then what do I do?

[[User:Ridge wiki|Ridge wiki]] ([[User talk:Ridge wiki|talk]]) 22:08, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
:Hi [[User:Ridge wiki|Ridge wiki]], and welcome to the Teahouse. Yes, you go to a user talk page (e.g. yours is [[User talk:Ridge wiki]] and mine is [[User talk:Cordless Larry]] and then click the "new section" button at top. That will open the editing window and you can type you message to post. Note that user talk pages are publically viewable, so it's not a private message to the user concerned. [[User:Cordless Larry|Cordless Larry]] ([[User talk:Cordless Larry|talk]]) 22:19, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

::Thanks, that's easy [[User:Ridge wiki|Ridge wiki]] ([[User talk:Ridge wiki|talk]]) 22:23, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
:::No problem, [[User:Ridge wiki|Ridge wiki]]. Just a further tip: unless the other user includes a link to your user page in their reply (called a "ping"), you won't get a notification that they've replied, so it's a good idea to either check their talk page every now and then, or add it to your watch list.

::::Greetings [[User:Ridge wiki|Ridge wiki]] ([[User talk:Ridge wiki|talk]]) and {{Ping|Cordless Larry}} Thanks for the question and the answer.

==How do I find the edits that user X did on page Y?==
Such a simple thing but I can't figure it out, or find it in the help files. Thank you. [[User:Deisenbe|deisenbe]] ([[User talk:Deisenbe|talk]]) 02:13, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

:Hello Deisenbe. I presume you are looking for something more specific than clicking the History tab on the top of the article? -- [[User talk:TheRedPenOfDoom|<span style="color:red;;;">TRPoD <small>aka The Red Pen of Doom</small></span>]] 02:23, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

::Yes I am. The History tab can have hundreds, even (I think) thousands of entries. For major articles it is impractical to go through the History to find out what a particular user did. It's also impractical, in most cases, to go through one user's contributions. I can't believe that with all the tools that have been created, there is no way to simply query this. [[User:Deisenbe|deisenbe]] ([[User talk:Deisenbe|talk]]) 03:52, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

:::Hi {{u|Deisenbe}}. There used to be a tool on article history pages that would find all the edits a given user had made. The link to it, "Edits by user", is still there at the top of the history next to "Revision history search". But it no longer connects to a tool.

== Notability being questioned  ==

Hi guys,

I recently created a page [[Abe Burns]] and his notability is being questioned. I actually know him personally and he is one of the most powerful people in tech investing - he essentially runs all [[Ashton Kutcher]]'s investing<ref>http://www.sound-ventures.com/about/</ref> and was on Billboard Magazine's "30 Under 30"... I'm just wondering how I can make that box disappear if anyone has any tips??

Thanks so much!

::Hi [[User:Jellybean2786|Jellybean2786]], and welcome to the Teahouse. The [[WP:N|notability guideline]] can be summarised as follows: [[WP:42|Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic]]. You also mention that you know Abe Burns personally, so you should also be made aware of the guideline set out at [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest]]. You need to declare any personal interest you have in the [[Abe Burns]] article, and it may be best to ask other editors to supervise your edits by posting suggested changes to the article's talk page and adding the {{tlx|request edit}} template, rather than making them directly. [[User:Cordless Larry|Cordless Larry]] ([[User talk:Cordless Larry|talk]]) 16:03, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
:::·{{u|Jellybean2786}}, at this point the only source you have in the article that is [[WP:RS|reliable]] enough to use to show notability is ''Billboard'', and the particular article cited does not have anywhere near enough detail to show notability for your subject. Even the less than reliable sources you've cited do not discuss him in detail; indeed, most are mere mentions of his name. To reinforce what was said above: qualification for an article here has nothing to do with what a person has done or anyone's perception of the person's importance. Instead, it is based entirely on whether multiple reliable sources have written about the subject in detail.

==Exact number of page watchers less than 30.==
In page information, if page watchers are less than 30, can anyone view the exact number of page watchers; as 5 page watchers, 7 page watchers? 

And if my userpage is watched by 50 people, can i find out who has kept my userpage on their watchlist?  [[Special:Contributions/38.95.108.250|38.95.108.250]] ([[User talk:38.95.108.250|talk]]) 05:36, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
:Hi, welcome to the Teahouse.

==tool to make internal links?==

Is there a tool that will scan my article for words and terms that are already in Wikipedia in other articles,
and will change my article to use links to those other Wikipedia articles?

Or must I look up every word in my article to see if there is another Wikipedia article for that word?
[[User:Dcj3616|Dcj3616]] ([[User talk:Dcj3616|talk]]) 14:32, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

::I agree with [[User:TheRedPenOfDoom|TheRedPenOfDoom]] that we wouldn't want a tool that linked every word there was an article for, although that doesn't necessarily rule out a tool that identifies and suggests ''possible'' links.

:::{{u|Dcj3616}}, [[WP:VE|VisualEditor]] (VE) does a pretty nifty job of lighting up potential deadlinks in red on the fly. It can give you a false-positive until you click away but if so you just go right back and quickly unlink it. If it's blue, let it be, but if it's red, make it dead. Do you use VisualEditor? [[WYSIWYG]] editing is its forte'. One flaw with doing wikilinks by hand or with VE is you can end up linking to a [[WP:DAB|disambiguation]] page instead of a direct article. But there is a roaming Bot that sniffs articles and alerts you on your Talk page to DAB issues and suggests fixes with a DabSolver.

::::{{U|Checkingfax}} Often a redlink is a very useful construct, and it is not at all true that as a general rule one should "if it's red, make it dead". A redlink is a good way of suggesting that there '''should''' be an article about a given topic, even though there isn't one now. Contrawise, many terms u7sed would be blue links but are not very relevant to the article beign edited, and so should not be linked. [[User:DESiegel|DES]] [[User talk:DESiegel|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 18:14, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
:::::{{U|Checkingfax}}, welcome to the Teahouse and I hope this is the place where you will get a satisfactory answer to your question. If not, come on back and continue the dialogue. I use a tool that will look for the name of my article in other articles and allow me to make a link from the other article to mine. This prevents the creation of what is called 'orphan' articles. Orphans are articles not linked to  other articles. I am not sure that is quite what you were looking for but click [http://edwardbetts.com/find_link/ here] for the url that will get you to this tool. What I do to find if there is an article that I can link to from my article is this; I use the preview edit window and put the [[  ]] around the terms. The preview will show if there is an article with the name you want to link to. If the article exists, the wikilink will appear blue, if the article does not exist, the wikilink will be red. Best Regards and thank you for making the encyclopedia even better with your edits.

:::::{{u|DESiegel}}, I was trying to be cute and [[Johnnie Cochran]] my answer to the OP. Your point about the value of redlinks is spot-on. The OP only wants a bluelinker tool. As far as overwikilinking, VE still makes you highlight a word/phrase and click on a link button (or the other way around) before it will provide the colored link (blue or red). It might be cool if VE had a button to "highlight all words/phrases with article links" that could be toggled on/off, but for now it is still a mostly manual process.

HOW DO I ACESSS "People also searched for" feature for this page? 17:56, 11 October 2015 (UTC)  <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Artlover550|Artlover550]] ([[User talk:Artlover550|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Artlover550|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Hi {{U|Artlover550}}, welcome to the Teahouse! To my knowledge, Wikipedia does not keep publicly viewable records of what readers search for. As a result, there is no function to see which pages readers searched for in addition to [[Lavar Munroe]]. To provide a few alternatives, Wikipedia has an extensive [[Wikipedia:Categorization|categorization]] system that categorizes pages dealing with similar topics. Categories for each article can be found at the very bottom of the page; click a category to view similar articles that fall under that category. Also, in the left sidebar under "Tools", you can find a link that says "[[Help:What links here|What links here]]", which will give you a list of articles that have [[WP:LINK|internal links]] to the selected article. I hope this helps. Best, [[User:Mz7|Mz7]] ([[User talk:Mz7|talk]]) 18:15, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
::Hello, {{U|Artlover550}}. I think Mz7 is correct.

::{{ping|Checkingfax}} Maybe you saw [[User:West.andrew.g/Popular redlinks]]. It's based on page views and not searches. I don't know a "People also searched for" feature in Wikipedia.
::{{ping|Artlover550}} I guess you are referring to text in a box to the right of a Google search. Google's [[Knowledge Graph]] uses a wide variety of sources. There may be a text paragraph ending with "Wikipedia" to indicate that particular text was copied from Wikipedia. An image and other text before or after the Wikipedia excerpt is added by Google and may be completely unrelated to Wikipedia. We have no control over which Google searches are shown on Google pages.

==creating an article==
how do i create an article page? [[User:Brummbar88|Brummbar88]] ([[User talk:Brummbar88|talk]]) 01:19, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

You create an article by going to [[Wikipedia:Your first article]], reading all the directions, and ''following them''. All articles must meet the Wikipedia guidelines for inclusion: they must be sourced with reliable third-party sources, be about a notable subject, be neutral in tone, and be comprehensible. There are other requirements, but these are the main ones that have to be met. Also, you can't write an article about a subject you are involved in, see [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest]]. (Meaning if you work for a company, you can't write an article about that company, among other things.) I am not trying to discourage you from creating an article, but if you write one and it doesn't meet guidelines, it will probably get deleted, which ''will'' be discouraging. I hope your article is a needed one, and you can go ahead with it. 
Add: if you mean create your own userpage rather than an encyclopedia article, all you have to do is click on your name's red link and go to it. Wikipedia is pretty loose with userpage requirements, as long you're not using it to display obscene content, social network, or put down others. See [[Wikipedia:Userpage]] for a full explanation of what you can and can't have.

==Notability concerns despite third party sources. Should I userfy?==
Hi, while I am an avid user of wikipedia I have recently decided to turn contributor.  I spent some time researching and working on a article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambi_M.G._Parameswaran. Said person is an author, an expert in advertising and marketing, and has contributed several articles to leading newspapers. I have tried to rewrite whatever information I got from multiple sources (apparently i havent done a good job) and have also included third party links under 'external links' . However, this article is being reviewed for deletion for notability issues. :( What am i doing wrong? Also should I userfy? Am not sure on how to move the article to drafts. Please help. 
[[User:Bulletninja|Bulletninja]] ([[User talk:Bulletninja|talk]]) 04:03, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
:What I recommend doing before making any article is to gather only [[WP:RS|professionally published, mainstream journalistic or academic sources]] that are [[WP:GNG|specifically about the subject but not affiliated with the subject]], and write a draft only summarizes the information in those sources.  Then, if that draft survives as an article, it can be expanded using other sources (though they still need to be [[WP:RS|reliable in some way]]).
:Wordpress, like blogspot or any other [[WP:SPS|self-published site]], fails our [[WP:RS|reliable sourcing guidelines]].  Search results on websites also usually fail our standards.  Press releases and media statements do not establish [[WP:GNG|notability]], and can really only be used for material that the article clearly indicates is only a claim by the subject.
:You may want to userfy the article for now, so long as you continue to work on it.  We're pretty tolerant of stuff that will [[User:Ian.thomson/Sandbox|definitely end up in article space someday]], but user pages cannot be used to host articles that would otherwise fail in articlespace.

Hi,

I added some information on the history of the town of Lake Forest, IL to its page and it was all deleted and described as "pov." What do I need to satisfy these requirements?

:Welcome to the Teahouse, {{U|JPTimbaud93}}. Your edits were reverted by a very experienced editor, {{U|John from Idegon}}. His edit summary indicated that he thought your edits were advancing a non-neutral point of view. My quick glance led me to think that maybe you were trying to emphasize the negative. Wikipedia articles should be written from the [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]]. He recommended discussing the matter on the article's talk page, and I agree. There has been no discussion there for nine years.

*[[User:JPTimbaud93|JPTimbaud93]], I thought your addition was very interesting and added a useful perspective. But it was sourced wholly to newspapers, something that can be all right for purely factual nuts-and-bolts material, but not so much for analysis. Newspapers do have a point of view, it's what they do, they're not supposed to be encyclopedias. Moreover, you put together different things from different sources into an argument of your own: that's what we call [[WP:original research|original research]] — it sounds like something positive, but here it's not, check out the link please. What you need IMO is a more academic source, plus you need to put the argument not in "Wikipedia's voice", but more in terms of "X calls it" or "according to X". If you can do this, I don't really think you need to take it to the talkpage. It can't hurt, certainly, but the fact that nobody's posted there since 2006 strongly suggests it's not widely watched and that you'd get little if any response. Good luck, I hope you won't be discouraged. [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]] &#124; [[User talk:Bishonen|talk]] 07:49, 12 October 2015 (UTC).

::{{U|Lemon Gelato}}, while {{U|Samf4u}} is technically correct about moving the article, I would urge you not to do so. If you were to move the article to mainspace as it stands, it would almost certainly be deleted (I suspect you already know this, as you have put editorial comments in it, but I wanted to be sure). When you think it is ready, I strongly suggest that rather than moving it yourself, you request a review by inserting {{tls|submit}} at the top. If a reviewer accepts the article, they will move it into mainspace with a suitable title. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 19:29, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

==An issue with the Wikipedia entry for "Japanese rock garden"==
In the introduction to this entry, it says: "The Japanese rock garden...often called a zen garden..." Although it is true that they are often called zen gardens, from my internet research, it seems the term "zen garden" first appeared in print in 1935. The opinion is that of a noted Dutch horticultural writer and the source is an article in a horticultural journal. I would like to add a footnote pointing this out. My question is 1) is this a legitimate edit? and 2) how would I source the information?
Thank you.

[[User:H Hector Sinclair|H Hector Sinclair]] ([[User talk:H Hector Sinclair|talk]]) 19:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
:Welcome to the Teahouse, {{U|H Hector Sinclair}}. There is already a section in [[Japanese rock garden]] called "Landscape painting and the Zen garden critique" that discusses the English language naming controversy in a fair amount of detail. Perhaps your horticultural journal reference can be used to improve that section. "Zen garden" is a common English language alternative name but it seems that it is misleading since Zen philosophy did not actually influence the development of such gardens. Accordingly, I do not think that the term "Zen garden" should be used in the article, except for the brief mention in the lead, and also in the section devoted to the naming controversy. That is just my opinion based on a quick reading of the article. Any disagreements should be discussed on the article's talk page.

==Which images are OK to use for biographies?==
Hi,

I've created a few biographies in the past couple days, all of them being about footballers. However, I am not sure which images I can use for them. If anyone knows how to find images for people that are acceptable for use, please let me know. Thanks. [[User:Ashkaan232|Ashkaan232]] ([[User talk:Ashkaan232|talk]]) 17:15, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
:Helllo, {{U|Ashkaan232}}, and welcome to the Teahouse. Normally, for living people, only freely licensed images (CC-BY-3.0, 4.0, or compatible) are acceptable. This usually means an image that you (or someone you know personally) has taken and is willing to release the full rights to, or an image that the subject (or someone connected with the subject) owns and is willing to release fully. Please understand that such a release means that anyone in the world can use the image for any purpose, including commercially for profit, and can create modified versions of the image,  and will not need to pay royalties or fees of any sort to the image creator or copyright holder, but only needs to acknowledge the creator or copyright holder. Most commercial entities will not relase images under these terms, although some will. See [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]] for more details. Note that it is unlikely that an image found on the web will have a sufficient free license, and if there is no license or copyright statement, it must be assumed that the image is licensed and not freely released, that is it may '''not''' be used. This is a matter that Wikipedia is quite strict about. [[User:DESiegel|DES]] [[User talk:DESiegel|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 17:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
::On another matter, {{U|Ashkaan232}}, any editor writing biographies of athletes should be familiar with our notability guidelines related to sports, which is found at [[Wikipedia:Notability (sports)]].

==Can one use "reputable," well-respected websites be used as sources (Mayo Clinic, Harvard, etc)?==
I am very new to Wikipedia and I am as green as they come. Especially when it comes to sourcing/references. Can "reputable," "well-respected" websites (such as the Mayo Clinic, Harvard, United States government)be used as references for a Wikipedia article? Thank you for your time.Argentina 20:38, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
: The answer is "mostly yes" though it sometimes depends on the specifics.  For instance, although certain parts of http://harvard.edu are wiki-reliable, other parts are student-homepages (and not wiki-reliable per [[WP:BLOGS]]).  Most government agencies are considered wiki-reliable per [[WP:RS]], but just because something is listed on a governmental website, does not necessarily count towards ''wiki-notability'' (see [[WP:42]] and [[WP:N]]), for example, there are lists of all the corporations which have filed for incorporation in the great state of Delaware, but such a URL isn't wiki-notable even though it is probably truthful.  Court-case-documents are also a tricky area, best avoided by wikipedia, see [[WP:PRIMARY]].  There are some exceptions to information provided by the Mayo Clinic website, too, see [[WP:MEDRS]].  If you are worried about some specific source and some specific factoid, you can always leave a request about your question at [[WP:RSN]], which specializes in that sort of thing, or here at the [[WP:TEAHOUSE]] page if you prefer.  Does this help?  Most "wiki-laws" have [[WP:IAR|exceptions]] here on wikipedia.  [[Special:Contributions/75.108.94.227|75.108.94.227]] ([[User talk:75.108.94.227|talk]]) 21:03, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

:Hello [[User:Athreyassiddharth|Athreyassiddharth]], and welcome to the Teahouse. There are really two questions here. The first is whether the one reference cited at the end of the article is enough to prevent it being deleted under the rule that says that all biographies of living people must cite at least one reliable source. The second is whether the subject meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Put simply, these require that there is [[WP:42|significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic]]. The [http://mantralayapadyatra.com/founder.php source you've cited] isn't indpendent of the subject, so it doesn't help meet the notability requirements, although it might be considered enough to satisfy the requirement for at least one source to be cited (if the consensus is that it's a reliable source). What you really need to do is find multiple reliable sources that help demonstrate that the subject of the article meets the notability guidelines. These might include newspaper or online news articles about Kulkarni, or coverage in books or scholarly journal articles. See [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources]] for guidance on this.

::Welcome to the Teahouse, {{U|Athreyassiddharth}}.

Specifically, sources that have nothing to do with this person or the people or groups he is affiliated with.

A core Wikipedia content policy is [[WP:V|verifiability]]. References help readers verify that claims in articles are accurate. A specific example in this article is that this person "formulated a medicine often called as 'Mantroushadi' which completely cures Asthma." Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and medical claims must be ''rigorously'' sourced on Wikipedia. The only type of source we could accept for a claim that this substance "completely cures Asthma" would be an established and respected peer-reviewed medical journal read by physicians worldwide who treat asthma patients. Please see [[WP:MEDRS]] for complete details. 

::Your first challenge is to show convincingly that this person is notable. Then, the article must be completely rewritten to eliminate all promotional claims and "puffery". The style must be in accordance with the [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]]. Every substantive claim or assertion must be referenced to a reliable source, and these sources must be independent, except for mundane and uncontroversial  biographical details.

:Hello {{U|Cmc8709}}, and welcome to the Teahouse. On a quick review, it looks fairly good. Your third citation doesn't support the statement for which it is cited. All citations need metadata, such as the publication cited, the date of publication, and the author (when available). See [[WP:REFB|referencing for beginners]] for more detail. The draft could have more about the history of this development, if sources exist to write that. The globest.com article is basically an interview. As such it is considered [[WP:PRIMARY]] and does not help with [[WP:N|notability]]; some additional '''independent''' [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] might help with that.

==Why require secondary sources for plot elements of works of fiction?==
Many articles about works of fiction -- I'm thinking at the moment of Lois McMaster Bujold's ''[[Captain Vorpatril's Alliance]]'' and the recurring major  character [[Ivan Vorpatril]], but I've seen it quite often -- are tagged as needing additional citations for verification of plot issues.

I find this strange. What more verification is needed than the book itself? Yes, it's a primary source. But unlike primary sources for just about anything else, the book is not a ''description'' of the subject of the article, ''it itself is the subject of the article''. A person's own web page certainly cannot be trusted to give truthful descriptions of events in the person's life; but the text of a work of fiction is not a description of an event that occurred in the real world, it ''is'' the event. 

The opening of ''Captain Vorpatril's Alliance'' --
: Ivan's door buzzer sounded at close to Komarran midnight... 
: "Oh God. Byerly Vorrutyer. Go away." ...
: Byerly slipped inside.
is an indisputable fact in the plot of the book, accurately summarized in the article as: 
: Captain Ivan Vorpatril reluctantly lets Imperial Security agent Byerly Vorrutyer ... into his flat late one night.
By definition, no secondary source could possibly be more reliable and objective than the event (i.e., the text) itself, so why is there a demand for secondary sources?

Of course there's always a chance that the editor has misinterpreted the text, or misreported its content, or combined elements to create a synthesis that goes beyond the text, just as can happen with secondary sources for events, things, and people in the real world. But we already have policies about those actions, and they should suffice for such actions about works of fiction. The net result of requiring secondary sources for fiction is to raise the bar of notability. A new book by an established and notable author, even one not yet published, is ipso facto notable (e.g., Bujold's ''[[Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen]]''), but reviews and adequate plot summaries may not be available for some time after publication. A new book by a less famous but still notable author may take much longer. The book itself should suffice. Why don't we treat it that way? 
Please {{Tn|Ping}} me to discuss. --[[User:Thnidu|Thnidu]] ([[User talk:Thnidu|talk]]) 20:37, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
: Hello [[User:Thnidu]], the short answer to your question is that article-content should satisfy [[WP:NOTEWORTHY]], which is to say, that some secondary source ought to have taken note of the most worthy bits.  In the case of a book, the review written in a wiki-reliable publication by an independent journalistic reviewer is a secondary source.  Usually the reviewer will give some of the plot... but almost always, not ALL of the plot.  Just the [[WP:NOTEWORTHY]] bits are covered, and thus, wikipedia should (generally speaking) stick to those bits.  Sometimes that means leaving out large portions of the plot -- the parts that reviewers didn't bother to explicitly review.  Sometimes an entire character will be "missing" from the wikipedia article, that summarizes the book in question... because if no [[WP:RS]] saw fit to spill ink about that specific character, then probably wikipedia also should not.  See also [[WP:UNDUE]] weight.  p.s. Of course in practice, these things are very laxly enforced, especially in book/film/music/etc articles in my experience.  Like the speed limit, most articles break the rules about explicit sourcing for ''every factoid'' in every sentence.  [[Special:Contributions/75.108.94.227|75.108.94.227]] ([[User talk:75.108.94.227|talk]]) 20:42, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
::{{U|Thnidu}}, There is a long-standing consensus that when reporting factual details of the plot of a work of fiction, without analysis, the work itself is the only needed source. Once in a while a cite to the chapter or even page of the work may be desirable, but there is no need at all to cite a secondary source, and any tag requesting such a citation may be removed. To give an example, in an article about Dickens's ''A Christmas Carol'' if the plot section says "Near the start of the story, Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Marley, his dead partner" there is no need for a secondary source. However, if there is any sort of analysis, such as "Marley's ghostly visit starts the theme of redemption from worldliness." THEN a secondary source is indeed needed.

:::Welcome to the Teahouse, {{U|Thnidu}}. We have a section about writing plot summaries in the Manual of style guideline regarding writing about fictional works. The shortcut is [[MOS:PLOT]] (corrected) and the paragraph most relevant to your question follows:
:::::"The plot summary for a work, on a page about that work, does not need to be sourced with in-line citations, as it is generally assumed that the work itself is the primary source for the plot summary. However, editors are encouraged to add sourcing if possible. If a plot summary includes a direct quote from the work, this must be cited using inline citations per WP:QUOTE. Sometimes a work will be summarized by secondary sources, which can be used for sourcing. Otherwise, using brief quotation citations from the primary work can be helpful to source key or complex plot points."
:::Citations for plot summaries are not required ''in general'', but they are advisable in well developed articles, and required for quotations and for interpretative analysis, as {{U|DESiegel|DES}} correctly pointed out above. In my opinion, there is a danger when an editor, especially an inexperienced one, writes a plot summary entirely on their own. They may overemphasize some aspects of the plot to the detriment of other elements, and may obsess about certain trivial details as opposed to the major plot points. Published reviews of literary works almost always include some aspects of a plot summary. Citing the plot summaries written by professional literary critics and book reviewers allows an editor to write the summary in the common way that content is produced throughout this encyclopedia - by summarizing what reliable sources have written about the topic, without engaging in original research. In my opinion, that is the best approach.

:::Ping [[User:Thnidu]], it is true that I don't recognize there is any distinction between articles about fictional novels, and articles about other subjects.  :-) &nbsp; &nbsp; [[WP:NOTEWORTHY]] ''is'' the correct approach to article-content, in all cases, whether the section is a plot summary or something else.  (Perhaps Cullen328 phrases it more pleasingly than myself, when they spoke of the dangers of unsourced-plot-summaries.)  Along the same lines, just because the novel is 14th in a series of books by a bluelinked author, does not mean [[WP:NOTINHERITED|that]] novel passes [[WP:42]].  Fundamentally, the problem with using the text of the novel itself, as the only source for the article-content, is that you tend to end up with an article exactly like the [[Captain Vorpatril's Alliance]] one currently does... 99% plot-summary, and almost no mention of wiki-reliable sources.  I've done a bit of searching, and left what I found at [[Talk:Captain Vorpatril's Alliance#sources]], but it was pretty slim pickings.
