Isn't that list a particularly bad example? It merely mentions the particular Quite Interesting things brought up, and makes no effort to duplicate banter. Actually, I've enjoyed looking through it tremendously - some of that stuff is *really* interesting. And much more actually encyclopaedic than "On the surface, tumbleweeds blow across dirt tracks as the landing party make their way towards the buildings. T'Pol doesn't detect signs of weapons fire. Archer sends Mayweather to the communications tower to see if the data buffer is intact in order to copy their last transmissions." (From a random ST:E episode article.)

What's the polite way of saying "grotesquely over-detailed summaries like these need to be attacked brutally with a chainsaw"? And what talk page can I say it on?
Prompted by this sort of thing, which just makes me put my head in my hands.
