Discussion about spoiler

This description of a detective novel has a great big spoiler! Surely this is a non-no in Wikipedia as much as elsewhere? And without even a SPOILER warning.

Hi Dandrake. First of all there is a spoiler warning. Secondly, the plot is only very superficially summed up exactly because we do not want to give away too much. What more can we do? What exactly is the "great big spoiler" you're talking about? The fact that Trent gets it all wrong? --KF 09:30, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)

My really stupid mistake: I wasn't reading thoroughly. However, as to the spoiler itself: Having read this, you know who the killer is at the moment Trent sits down to dinner; this is more than "Trent gets it all wrong." That's a great big spoiler, but since there is indeed a spoiler warning, aything goes. No problem. Dandrake 09:50, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Having read the novel (and wikified it for Wikisource!), I can assure you that this summary gives away nothing of import. By the time Trent sits down to dinner, he has managed to thoroughly confuse the reader with quite logical deductions that turn out to be flawed. I could write a more detailed summary — which would be a real spoiler — but not right now. (The book's a good read, BTW.) --Quuxplusone 03:52, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of ISBN from Wikidata

Please note that this article's infobox is retrieving an ISBN from Wikidata currently. This is the result of a change made to {{Infobox book}} as a result of this RfC. It would be appreciated if an editor took some time to review this ISBN to ensure it is appropriate for the infobox. If it is not, you could consider either correcting the ISBN on Wikidata (preferred) or introducing a blank ISBN parameter in the infobox to block the retrieval from Wikidata. If you do review the ISBN, please respond here so other editors don't duplicate your work. This is an automated message to address concerns that this change did not show up on watchlists. ~ Rob^Talk 01:26, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
