Edit to Demons[edit]

Re your edit to Demons, I reverted it because the plot summary is already too long and the suppressed chapter doesn't actually appear in the main body of most published versions of the novel, including the one Dostoevsky himself published. There is discussion of it in the article after the plot summary. I think this chapter is actually worthy of its own separate article, so feel free to start one and I could help out.

Xandrajane, you can just answer here rather than on my talk page if you like, since this is where the discussion started. Using the colon sign : before your comment will indent it, as you will see from my comment. To further indent use 2 colons, then 3, then 4 etc. You should do a little more editing of existing articles before you create an article, so you can get experience at the technical side of editing and learn about the requirements for an article. This page should help: WP:CTW. Also you need to be wp:autoconfirmed to create an article, which means you need at least 10 edits. You can learn about writing an article here: WP:YFA. Remember you will need reliable references. Joseph Frank is the best source for this kind of thing but there are plenty of others that will discuss the chapter. If you do start an article draft for "At Tikhon's" let me know on my talk page and I can help, make suggestions etc, as I would be very interested in such an article. You can also use your sandbox to experiment or write drafts. Feel free to ask me further questions, although to be honest I don't really understand how this place works either.
