Untitled[edit]

Whoever wrote this, extending on from my page about Matthew Reilly, Ice Station and Temple... this isn't a fan site. A book description should not be written in colloquial terms, it should have correct spelling and it DEFINETELY shouldn't give away every surprise in the book - it shouls pique the reader's interest in reading the book. For the same reasons I am removing your comments about the SAS from the Matthew Reilly page, the British attack is one of the biggest surprises in that novel. I am also replacing this page with the blurb from Area 7. It's not great, but it's better than what you've written. - edgeworth 13:39, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC) Added expansion tag; I don't believe that there is enough information on this page --Stretch 05:05, 17 February 2006 (UTC) I think that we should put the whole informaiton, including the suprises, up on the page. This page isn't in the same format as the rest of the pages on Matthew reilley's books. This is an information page; not a place to advocate the book and not tell anyone what it is actually about. Comments anyone? MichaelHenley 01:53, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jeez, could the Synopsis be any longer? Can someone condense?

While we do need a synopsis, I agree the authour went overboard. I'd work on it, but I have sero time at the moment. --Stretch 06:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Area 7.jpg[edit]

Image:Area 7.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Plot summary[edit]

I've trimmed some 32kb off this article, comprising a ridiculously long blow-by-blow account of the plot and a compendious list of characters. I've restored an older synopsis which could probably do with a little expanding. The synopsis comes from an old revision. [1] --Tony Sidaway 21:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And I've removed the 'overly long plot summary' tag that was lingering on the page. If you check the revision history, what's on there now is way better than what it used to be. MichaelHenley _{(Talk-Contribs)} 13:13, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
