message: It used to be much longer. Any book notable enough to be included on WP merits a synopsis at the very least. What was the rationale for removing it? PopeFauveXXIII (talk) 19:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked back through the article history and didn't see any synopsis at all. Just some editors personal rambling about "creative nonfiction", and comparisons to Truman Capote. - LuckyLouie (talk) 20:00, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: first paragraph looks fine. I'm reinsterting it with an expand section tag. PopeFauveXXIII (talk) 22:15, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

text: derp. this is more or less the lead. forest for the trees. PopeFauveXXIII (talk) 22:23, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

text: ok, i figured the article could benefit from the brief synopsis section and pared down the lead to match stylistically. If anybody's interested, a section about the movie, highlighting the (substantial) differences between it and the book would also be appropriate here. PopeFauveXXIII (talk) 22:35, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The synopsis just says the same thing as the lede, worded slightly different. I've removed it for now. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 11:24, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is this article so short? 

message: If you read the book, there is no claim that the Mothman or other weird phenomena caused the collapse of the bridge, just that they presaged it. The parenthetical snark about the structural cause is thus beside the point and merely a polemical straw-man argument that does not illuminate the subject.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.37.147 (talk) 00:57, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comment about material cause of the bridge is polemical and irrelevant

message: The paragraph about "Mrs.Gray Barker" misses the point Keel was making about people impersonating well-known ufologists (including Keel himself). He is recounting a phone call he received from someone impersonating Barker (who Keel had worked with); Keel made reference to the bogus "Mrs Gray Barker" (knowing that Gray Barker wasn't married) and the imposter unwittingly acted like she was his wife. This paragraph serves no purpose and should be removed. Yorick1952 (talk) 04:16, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The paragraph claims that Keel changed the name from his original letters to writing the book, and refused to explain why. It's relevant. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 15:03, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  The paragraph was recently altered by a blocked SPA. I rolled back to the last good version, which is more specifically relevant to the book. - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:18, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
