I was looking at a plot summary and realized there are errors in it. Is it okay to just copy paste the original and fix the mistakes?
See, I'm not good at writing plot summaries but I do know details, there mistake I found had to do with a mistake in relation to the setting.

No, it's not okay. You're essentially ripping off someone else's work (the original poster's). We don't accept our users entering text ripped off from other sites, and we certainly don't accept our users ripping off from each other.

If you feel the text is completely wrong, submit a new text. If you can't, or if the error is just minor, submit an error report.

Perhaps. But you'd understand better if you'd had to clean up the mess "backstage" at ANN, just once. Some users, I swear...
