I've been going through several episode pages, and notice that while some have extensive summaries to the point of pretty much giving a play-by-play, others have brief summaries. I'd like to volunteer to convert the episodes that have short summaries to the long ones. I just wanted to start a discussion before I went ahead. I'm not sure whether I'd start on TOS or DS9, but I'm thinking DS9. I'd eventually move on to TNG... but that's a long way off to be honest. I haven't really read a whole lot of VOY or ENT pages to know how they stand. I'm really just interested in trying to get the first two series done before worrying about it. Whatya guys think? I'd hate to take the time to write a long, drawn out summary only to get it purged.

Oh, and I put this in ten foward because I figured this was a policy thing.

Go right ahead, we love having complete summaries. Big guidelines would be to look at our featured episode articles, organize the summaries into acts and such, etc. Also, take a look at Vedek Dukat's episode duty roster as well. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 06:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Although, the longer ones that are play-by-play are a bit too long and silly. We're not here to give a play by play really, and the summaries should be something more of a happy medium between the two. :) -- Sulfur 11:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
