Talk:The Westing Game

message: I hae solution, I found it inappropriate.  But I was making that up from looking at other pages; I didn't look for a plot summary consensus or standard any where.
:Rather than just reverting back, actually, I'd feel more comfortable rewriting the plot summary as a much more complete summary which includes the ending at its conclusion.  Does that sound right to you? Deborah-jl Talk 14:43, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to say that Turtle won by discovering that Eastman was Westing in disguise, fine, but does that really add anything encyclopedic?  The meat of the story lies in how the characters mature during the course of the game, and Eastman is barely[

message: If spoilers are to be avoided, should Tabitha-Ruth Wexler even exist? People are going to notice that one of the characters seems to be given more prominence than any other. I'm considering nominating it for deletion (rather than just redirecting back here, so as to eliminate the redirect as well).
In any case, I don't see that the article has very much potential for expansion, considering that this is an ensemble book as stated above. Currently it's just a disjointed list of characteristics, and you would have to give away most of the plot to give it much more substance. –Unint 01:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a way to work in the significance of the song "America the Beautiful" into the article? I know this kind of delves into the "spoiler" bit discussed earlier, but it is an important part of the story. Trvsdrlng 19:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed a paragraph under "Inconsistencies" regarding Pulaski's alleged  Münchausen syndrome because it was pointless. To diagnose a fictional character with a very specific and frequently misunderstood disorder is unnecessary. To say it is inconsistent for characters in the same novel not to do the same is even more unnecessary. While Münchausen syndrome is often boiled down to "people who fake illness or injury for attention," not all people who do this suffer from this disorder. Pulaski does not demonstrate "classic Münchausen syndrome" because it is not as simple, nor as disposable, as Pulaski's attention seeking. Moreover, the person who wrote that paragraph doesn't seem to realize that Münchausen syndrome wasn't widely known or understood at the time of the novel's writing and publication (it wasn't even added to the DSM until two years after the novel's publication), so it is not as though Raski[
After reading through this article again, this happens to be one of my favorite short novels, I am disparaged at the gramatical quality and gross inclusion of significant poritons of the story.  I will start paring this article down (Starting with the character descriptions) Hasteur (talk) 18:35, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

message: ...this article is way too long and detailed. The section labeled "Plot" is the backstory. The plot is continued in the character sections and epilogue, which together are over 2,600 words long. I'm going to cut this way down and also merge in the unsourced Get a Clue article.
