Plot summary

This reads like an extended blurb on the back cover of the book. Wikipedia entries should give the whole plot of the novel and most do. This section needs editing by someone who's actually read the book. aldiboronti (talk) 02:24, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Independent sources

I have tried to provide independent sources; having provided two, I trust it's okay to remove the "independent sources" tag. I intend to find whatever others are available and cite them. Accounting4Taste 02:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Make that three sources, and the Symons quote is directly relevant, I trust. Accounting4Taste 02:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ellery Queen character in the film

As I said on the Ellery Queen talk page, I don't disagree with this assertion per se; I just think it needs a citation from a third party, because the character is not named "Ellery Queen". Accounting4Taste:talk 21:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a copy of both the film and the book, thanks, and while I believe your point has merit, it's not my opinion or your opinion that counts here, it's that of an external expert that can be referenced and cited. Anything else is original research. Accounting4Taste:talk 23:30, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Third opinion

Regardless of how apparent or obvious it may seem, the assertion that a character from one fictional work is the analogue of another character requires a citation. It would be a fine observation to make in a film review or a periodical article about the film. However, Wikipedia is not the place for original research. A reliable source for the claim should be found. Beyond concerns regarding what Wikipedia is not and original research, if a fact is contested then a citation is required (see Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information). Finally, finding a solid reliable source for the claim is simply of benefit to the article. Reliable sources discussing such things are likely to provide some context (such as how the two characters are similar and different) and are also likely to provide other interesting and useful commentary about the film.
