Recent development

The recently-added development (plot summary--list of scenes, etc.) is very useful (Thank you). But source citations are needed throughout. E.g., page refs. to the text that is cited. (It is not a 1st ed. of the play; it is a 1st Grove Press ed. of the play (1979); the play was published in London too; the 1979 Grove Press Evergreen edition is the 1st edition in paperback published by Grove Press.

I've added some templates to show where some earlier statements need source citations (The article is still largely undocumented). The format for citations I provided is MLA format, a kind of Parenthetical referencing, which is very easy to follow. See Talk:Harold Pinter for the related Style Sheet there. If content notes are added, one can add a Notes section; I've placed the format within editorial code for restoration as needed later. --NYScholar (talk) 20:16, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moved pertinent discussion here

hello, instead of engaging flame throwing and threats of warring, i'd like to refer you to here so you can familiarise yourself with the framework, standard formatting and section headings associated with the articles on plays and theatre. cheers. --emerson7 20:49, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source is the text. I just corrected the errors, and I am not "flame-throwing" (User talk:Emerson7#Betrayal). Please discuss making improvements to the article on the talk page of the article. Massive reverting of the kind that you did is not "copy-editing" and "clean up"; you lost sources, development that was correct, and you replaced it with in some cases your own opinions instead of neutral point of view. I've kept some of the development in the plot summary but corrected the format. Pinter's text is the source. I've edited many articles that are about plays in Wikipedia, and I am familiar with the headings [which you direct me to]; some use "Plot summary" [Now "Synopsis"] and "Characters" is a section of such articles. There is no "barman" listed separately as a character in the the list of characters in the text cited. The barman [should not] be listed in the infobox or list of characters. ~~One can add him via brackets, however.~~ Rest of discussion needs to take place on the talk page, so I'm moving this exchange there. [Thus moved.]--NYScholar (talk) 21:13, 7 February 2009 (UTC) [Updated in brackets. --NYScholar (talk) 05:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've checked the link you provided (Thank you for it). The current version of the article is consistent with it. But one needs to keep in mind that this is about the play and a subject that relates both to theatre and to literature in Wikipedia (and in general). --NYScholar (talk) 21:47, 7 February 2009 (UTC) [Added the thank you. Sorry omitted before. --NYScholar (talk) 05:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)][reply]
