Talk:Death on the Nile

message: I am removing the callout "Death on the Nile has an exceptionally complex plot, much simplified here." since it is, in my opinion, redundant.  This is a plot summary and should be, by definition of the word "summary", short.

message: In Death on the Nile, doesn't Poirot mention the events of Murder on the Orient Express?
Yes, he does, he mentions something about finding the kimono in his own suitcase from Murder on the Orient Express, so this trilogy thing seems weird. I think it should be taken out... AMac2002 02:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that the BBC made a 4 part radio adaptation of "Death on the Nile" with John Moffatt as Poirot. I think it is acurate to the book, and very well done I might add. Is it worth mentioning in the article? HelmarocQueen 04:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Since when did Wikipedia begin to allow spoilers? The ending is in the article! This is not good writing at all. I would suggest removal. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 13:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: After reading it again in shock and disappointment, I'd say that the last four paragraphs in the plot summary could be scrapped altogether. That leaves the summary with sufficient details, and trashes the spoiler. If no one objects, I'll remove those paragraphs in three days, if I can remember to come back here.MagnoliaSouth (talk) 13:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Update. I don't even remember posting above but it is well known now that spoilers are allowed, unlike other entertainment sites. Since these are articles about the subject, they are not considered entertainment so spoilers are a given. I think readers will learn to only read the article after they have read the book.

message: I ask because it says, "While visiting an ancient temple, Linnet narrowly avoids being crushed by a falling rock." How wrong this is! That is in the film, in the novel, they are at the bottom of a cliff when the rock falls. There needs to be some consistency here and since this article doesn't specify whether or not it is the film, novel nor even the episode of Poirot, I can see how it has been neglected. What should we do about this? I think renaming it would help as well as perhaps a section on the differences between the film, television series and novel. My edits tend to be minor (small corrections, citations, etc.) so I would not be a good person to do this, which is why I am asking here. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 16:53, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

replies: text:  Thanks for pointing this out. (I'm replying so late because I only noticed the tag on the page recently.) This article is about the book. I have revised the plot summary to be book-accurate – please let me know if I should clarify anything there. It seems that there is already a list of differences between the novel and television series in the 'Film, TV and theatrical adaptations' section of this article. There is also already a brief statement about differences between the novel and film in that section; I haven't seen the film but if anyone wants to add any more differences between the novel and film, I think it makes sense to add them there rather than in a new section.
