William, You raise a good point. Maybe Wikipedia articles about narrative literature should have "spoiler alerts" so that people who might want to read a book for entertainment would have the option of learning only a minimal amount about the plot, without prematurely finding out what happened and who done it -- something like the spoiler alerts they put into movie synopses at imdb.com. -- Mark Spahn, still wondering whether Darth Vader might be related somehow to Luke Skywalker -- and how the Greeks' let's-hide-inside-a-giant-horse ruse worked out

Yes something along those lines. This is perhaps because the novel does not appear to have too much in terms of content so any coment about it would reveal too much. Just out of curiosity why does this fine piece of literature necessitate a Wikipedia post? Could I not make a Wikipedia post about The Hotdog Shop in East Liverpool, Ohio that would have a similar degree of relevance? http://www.panoramio.com/photo/5319639 Regards, William Taylor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Persons posting messages to not_honyaku assume all responsibility for their messages.
