Talk:Adventure Comics 328

So, I've decided to post some of the plot summaries I've been doing on Legion World here, beginning with this issue. I've tried to follow the general writing style for wikis. If there are any problems, please let me know. Feel free to edit anything that needs to be edited. If this summary is acceptable, I'll post others. HWW

Some of the earlier Adventure issues already have plot descriptions, which have tended to be a bit longer than the one you have here (see Adventure Comics 267 or Adventure Comics 301, for instance). At some point, I'd like to see individual panel images added, such as was done on the page for Adventure Comics 247. Please, please feel free to add as much or as little as you like. At the moment, most of the Adventure pages that have been created are just empty shells, so any additional text would be an improvement. I've been creating these "shell" pages as images of the Adventure covers have been uploaded, although there are about ten issues with covers available but no shell yet. Since you have expressed interest in adding text, I'll see about catching these up. You can also certainly feel free to create issue pages even if we don't have a cover image uploaded yet (or upload one yourself). Are there specific issues that you are particularly interested in providing plot summaries for? -- Gopher 04:22, 2 August 2007 (PDT)

Writing plot summaries

I have already written plot descriptions for Superboy # 198, the Great Darkness Saga (as a whole), LSH Annual #7 ("The Last Legionnaire") and LSH Annual # 2 (Valor's story), which can easily be pasted here.

I saw that my plot synopses are much shorter than the ones already posted. I'm not sure I want to put that much effort into writing synopses, to be honest; as a reader, I prefer shorter synopses, as well -- ones that hit the "jist" of what happens without summarizing every scene. I'm aware that this is contrary to how most wikis operate. Certainly, if someone wants to write longer synopses, they should.

As time allows, I can write synopses for most of the Adventure, Action, and Superboy runs, as well. I may also go back and put in a roll call feature for each story. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by He Who Wanders (talk • contribs) . Please sign on talk pages with - ~~~~

Go ahead and write the shorter synopses, as long as you don't mind if and when some other user is inclined to add more text. That's another thing about wikis - you have to get used to other people editing your work, sometimes many times. To be honest, though, there are few enough people working on the wiki at the moment that it may be some time before anyone gets around to adding more to your work. My hope is that you become a frequent contributor, even if its just a little bit every day or two.

Feel free to create pages for the issues you mention. If you need help with using the template, we can walk you through it. Also, I'd be happy to set up those pages for you, so that you can just add in your text, but I don't want to step on your toes. Just let us know if any of us can help.

Good to have you aboard. -- Gopher 13:24, 2 August 2007 (PDT)

Pretty much what Gopher said - vandals, spambots and Nature Boyz aside, the more the merrier :) - I added a shell there for Legion of Super-Heroes v4, Annual 7 so you can plug that in (I'm still not 100% sure about your interp of the "75 years later" line, but that can wait).

PS - Sorry for not getting back to you on the stuff from last week yet Gopher - RL crap interceded, and it's going to take a while to reply to those posts. I'll get to it as soon as I can :) - Reboot (SoM) talk page 17:34, 2 August 2007 (PDT)

Thanks, Gopher and Reboot. I've added the summary for Annual # 7, and changed the line about 75 years later so it better matches the actual text. I hope that clears up my "interpretation."

By all means, put up the pages. I'll figure out how to do so as I have time, but, meanwhile, I don't mind a little extra help :). I also understand that others may edit my entries as time goes on and I'm fine with that.
