Hi,

thank you for your contribution! We have a few editing guidelines you may be not aware of yet, thus I have to point out a few things. Make sure to also read the links in the welcome message you received.


 * summaries must be written in past tense. Please keep this in mind for future edits, or we will be forced to undo them.
 * only tell necessary events, we don't need retellings but a compact summary of events that happened
 * articles need to be written in a formal style. Avoid contractions (haven't --> have not), avoid phrasal verbs, colloquial speech and unfitting adjectives like you did with "his stupid plan". If possible, also try to avoid overused verbs like "tell" or "say" if alternatives are available, e.g. "inform". Use a passive sentence structure whenever possible.
 * don't use pronouns to start sentences or even paragraphs, this may lead to ambiguous sentences and is considered bad style.
 * use guillemets « and » if you want to highlight terms like the novels do, though their use is not necessary. You achieve that by either copying them or the keyboard combination ALT+174 and ALT+175

I know this is a bit much, but most of this falls under the umbrella "formal style" anyway, I just wanted to give some examples.

I mostly fixed your edit so you get a grasp of what was wrong, but please keep this in mind for future edits. Compare your summaries with other summaries to get a feeling how summaries on this wiki work. Again, thank you for contributing and we hope you stay with us.
