Talk:Tolkien vs. Jackson: Differences Between Story and Screenplay

Organization and Structure
I think this article needs a great deal of work&mdash;perhaps even a complete rewrite. By being organized according to general types of differences&mdash;i.e. omission, additions, alterations&mdash;there is nothing about the structure that imposes order to prevent such things as focusing too much on one part of the story or on one kind of difference. As a result, the entries are all jumbled up, and the Omissions section at the top focuses almost entirely on the end of the story. Moreover, trivial differences are mixed up with non-trivial ones, and major thematic differences are neglected entirely.

As the article stands now, I think it needs to be rewritten. It would be improved by being reorganized along different lines with differences being catagorized according to scope of difference&mdash;Major, Significant, Minor, and Trivial&mdash;and then by sequence in the story. The present article omits several major differences while focusing on very trivial ones. The definition of a difference might also be included to guide contributors so that the article is not overburdened with trivialities and non-difference differences.
