Trimming articles

Hi, and thank you for your contributions. I would like to ask you to trim selectively instead of just cutting off the article after the 250 character. The point of trimming is to still maintain enough flavor text to tease the reader and give them a taste of the action. Also, please insert […] when trimming something so that the readers would know that they aren't seeing the entire original text.

Here's an example. The aim is to retain as much info as possible in the same 250 characters. In this case, have the cryptic remark by the blemmingam and your Noman's reaction at the cost of some flavor text.

Finally, if the trimmed text is very long and important it'd be great if you could summarize it. We're always looking for summaries because we want to move this wiki to a user-generated direction, but with long articles (like "Get away from him!") summaries are particularly important.

Got it, I'll try and be more informative in future. I was shooting for "tantalising" but I guess it came across as "arbitrary"...
