User talk:Sir Rin/sandbox exposition

About

This sandbox is for redrafting the narrative exposition wiki page on Wikipedia. The reasons for the draft and what I wish to change are detailed below

Copied from /talk

I propose drastic changes to this article. I will find the time and resources to research and update it. The article is lackluster and on a quick glance of the history, has gone through a lot of changes. The wording was almost verbatim to its references and still has similarity. Additionally, as previously mentioned, exposition is a well known technique used throughout story-writing; yet, this Wikipedia page portrays it as if it is bad. And has very little detail

I think some real research should be done to cover the issues mentioned here.

• Fix outline
• remove any sense of opinion (from the individual writing the article)
• add more sources, and review current sources (SAT study book used to define exposition? Makes me think a high schooler defined the term. Surely, there's more sources?)
• Is there a distinction between plot dump vs info dump?
• How infodump differs from exposition
• fix incluing section and determine if it is necessary. If so, include who coined the term and if it is still regularly used

Happy to contribute, will likely pick up some references. Plan to at least start the process in fixing up this page, with the hope of the community adding onto it and correcting anything as needed.
