post-modern section. Or you could reduce the summaries by connecting several books with the same continuing story-line (the girlfriends, the friend, his personal history). As a result you would have less summaries, but had them more meaningful. However, if you don't want to change anything I'd find that acceptable too because the summaries are short and that's probably what you would go for if you want information on the topic. The cross-linking is a good thought, though. --

I like the idea of expanding on the post-modern detective from an interesting paper I found, and then adding examples from specific books as supporting evidence. Certainly the article is in better shape than a few days ago when I started, but I can't find references for each of the 23 summaries, one reason I began to consider eliminating them altogether.

Wow, if you want to spend that time - why not?^^ But what instead of the summaries? I haven't read a single
Delaware book so I really have no idea. You could focus on the post-modern detectiv, although I have no clue what that would involve. If you want to do that, keep the summaries and expand the

Delaware shouldn't be referred to as Alex to avoid familiarity. I've posted references at the bottom of the article that will help. Will post the copy-edit banner when I'm working on the article. Don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Thanks.

Yes, I agree the copied summaries should be rewritten, but I'm tempted to rewrite the entire article without 23 summaries. What do you think? I don't mind doing an entire rewrite, am familiar with the author and have read all the books, but need another opinion. Thanks.
591:
Thanks for reminding me here! The lead needs a rewrite; some of the long quotations should be paraphrased; the infobox isn't complete; and the formatting still needs some tweaking. Am very busy at the moment, but will get to this as soon as I can.

Thanks for helping! I'd decided against changing Alex to
Delaware until the article is finished, and then performing a mass search/change, but like you I find myself changing as I go along. What do you think of these summaries. Keep or rewrite?
542:
I'm almost done copy editing, and then I'll take it off the 2007 list. Once done, I'll consider reworking into a different page which will solve the problem of the uncited summaries and make the article a better article. Thanks for the input.
