/me stabs <INSERT USER HERE>
Just so you know, /me is a IRC command, and saying you're "stabbing" someone on IRC is a total joke, used a lot. Not a personal attack =D

For quite a while now I've been using Wikipedia first before IMDB when

want to know whether a movie or TV show is worth watching, a synopsis

rather important in that regard.

Would stabbing count as a "personal attack?" At least it's not a legal threat... :)
Unless you happen to read the entirety of Wikipedia (or at least the what links here on the movie page) you're not going to see these things... so I doubt that you're talking about the same thing.
I do believe we're talking at cross-purposes, yes. My main argument in this thread is against the IMO very strange notion that one cannot use a work of fiction as a source when writing an article about it. Anthony's most recent response also implied that he considered a simple plot synopsis to be "fancruft", which was what the post you're responding to was in disagreement with.
I wasn't talking about what you're talking about in this response at all. I think we'd likely even agree about it. Fortunately I'm about to leave on a week-long vacation in a few hours, so the thread can continue without the risk of finding consensus in that area. :)
