replies: text: I see a Plot Summary section has been added, but it is very didactic, not NPOV and has no reference to back it up.

thread_title:  Plot Summary 

message: This article seems to me a bad combination of excessive information in some areas and complete omission of others.  It refers almost entirely to Aristotelian Tragedy and cinema. What about comedies, adventure novels, novels of character, short stories, etc.? Much of the information, although fascinating and informative, belongs in separate articles, so that this article can cover the whole scope of the concept "plot".  This is way outside my area of expertise, so I'm not going to take it on, but it badly needs some expert attention. D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 01:21, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

message: Han Solo being frozen in carbonite is critical to the plot. Han Solo is frozen and so Lando decides to act against Vader, and so Vader decides to try and carbon freeze Luke. Lando decides to act against Vader and so he tries to rescue the remaining heroes. Vader decides to carbon freeze Luke and so Luke takes advantage to try and get revenge for Ben's and his father's deaths.
Not only that, but it is critical to the ending of the story and leads to the sequel. One could argue that it is the single most important part of the movie since it leads to Lando joining the rebels, Leia admitting she loves Han, and Luke finding out Vader is his father, and sets off the plot for the following film! 50.100.208.152 (talk) 14:27, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm also opposed to the idea it's not "part of the plot". The footnote quotes the source itself saying, "Plot is built of significant events in a given story – significant because they have important consequences." The entire first third of the sequel only happens because of this event. I do not have the book referenced, but does it even mention Han Solo? In either case, this example seems misleading and false. 76.119.114.192 (talk) 05:22, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

the last day [9 September] as I was heading back by boat, I went aboard
the schooner Lizzie P. Simmonds [Simmons} once again to ask if there were
any messages for Kikkerton, and to say goodbye to her people. As I was
shaking their hands, one of them rushed up to me with the words (in
English): 'You are a Jew, are you not?' At first I did not understand him,
but soon grasped what he meant. His entire face beamed with happiness
at having found a tribesman here, and he hoped that he would see me
again often, which has not been granted him yet. Yes, indeed. One finds

message: "I have a suggestion for Doc James.

thread_title:  When was this model first proposed? 

message: From the article:
:Also, the collapse into a singularity would destroy most of the information in the previous universe.
As the article says earlier:
:However, research in loop quantum cosmology purported to show that a previously existing universe collapsed, not to the point of singularity, but to a point before that where the quantum effects of gravity become so strongly repulsive that the universe rebounds back out, forming a new branch. Throughout this collapse and bounce, the evolution is unitary.
So, there is no singularity. 
And partial information loss is explained by a new uncertainty principle, as the article also explains.
So, this objection is an argument from an incorrect premise to an irrelevant conclusion.

message: In the article it is said that In the early Fourth Age, however, Tolkien wrote that Enedwaith was absorbed into the kingdom of Rohan, whose people "multiplied exceedingly", and many Rohirrim moved there..

This isn't true, as the external link shows. Season one, for example, contains

"Everyone runs in and sits on the couch" counts as a gag - the
