Yes, I've tried this, with mixed success. I think my rewrite of the plot of the first ever Doctor Who story is still up, and I successfully restored Phil Sandifer's rewrite of the plot of the second story (The Daleks), which had been reverted a while back. Writing decent plot summaries for more recent episodes is more problematic. I've successfully introduced a much shorter, more readable form of writing, which seems to be popular, but writing about Martha's character development has had a less enthusiastic reception. Of course much of this is due to the fact that anything I write on the subject will be tinged with original research because there are no reliable sources on this yet.
As Jimbo pointed out, reliable sources are situational. In this case, fan critical opinion may be a useful guide as to what opinions to give a neutral rundown of. Of course, dredging for these gets toward work ...
