Talk:Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

message: First of all, whoever did the plot summary did an excellent job.  There is no need to tag the summary as being too long, too confusing, or too out of proportion with the rest of the article.  Leave it alone.
Sorry, have to disagree about the plot summary. Paragraphs 2 & 3 are juxtaposed. The conversation with Sarak and Kirk about Spock's "katra" comes before Reliant getting destroyed.Dcrasno (talk) 22:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I was reading this article and found that the plot summary was good but needed a little work, so I hit the edit button like users are encouraged to do. I trimmed out less important stuff and expanded the more important stuff to make the section more complete and accurate without making it much longer. I did not put in any "cruft", which means useless knowledge. Wikipedia would be a lot stronger if some people on here would stop acting like they are the owners of their favorite articles and would collaborate instead of erasing the work of others with insulting comments. 14:28, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The cruft wasn't only added by you, it's been a continual process of people adding what they think are important details and bloating the summary, which should be short and simple. Regardless, things like actors names inconsistently applied when the cast section is right below isn't useful; neither is repeating details that are already clear, like that the final ritual takes place on Vulcan (stated twice before what the objective is.) Blow-by-blow accounts of the fight between the Enterprise and Bird of Prey is likewise not important to understanding the plot or the production elements discussed.
