Talk:The Pirates of Dark Water

message: Are the episodes after the mini-series considered season 2? I'm trying to figure out what episodes Jim Cummings supposedly did Ioz's voice. This is the only place I see him listed instead of Hector Elizondo. Defunctzombie (talk) 05:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Season 2?

message: Should there be a section that has a list of shows/instances that PoDW influenced?  I was watching some old episodes and I noticed a lot of stuff was borrowed from the show in Farcape, Stargate and other such shows? Facebookery (talk) 18:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Allusions

message: Recently my changes were undone by an unanymous user and StoneCold. Do I really have to explain why detailed lists of fictional, in-universe places, weapons, enemies, treasures etc etc etc are not part of Wikipedia? If my edits continue to be undone, I have no choice but to call in help from an admin. --Soetermans (talk) 12:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Matter was resolved thanks to administrator pastordavid 10 years ago, but recently same person came back and tried to delete parts that were supposed to stay in so I put it back. Conversation from 10 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests&oldid=217747829  I also put a series bible link at bottom that describes some of the things in the Pirates of Dark Water page.  --StoneCold (talk) 18:16, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revisiting (2018) 

message: The name of the episode is "The Dagron Master", but someone keeps changing it to "The Dragon Master". Dagrons are a flying monster with an important role in the series. This is NOT a spelling error of Dragon. Please stop changing it to "Dragon". - Defunctzombie (talk) 23:06, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: I have been looking for reviews contemporaneous to the release of the original miniseries in Feb. 1991. The good news is that such sourcing exists. The bad news is that every example I've found is covered under Newspapers.com's Publisher Extra access which I do not have. The same looks to be true of Sept. 1991 coverage of the series' premiere on ABC.
But if anyone has Publisher Extra access to Newspapers.com, my guess is that several contemporaneous reviews of the miniseries can be found, and content added to the 'Reception' section. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:29, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: , that was fourteen years ago and WP:CONSENSUSCANCHANGE. Adding a reference by http://piratesofdarkwater.net/dictionary/  is not helping. We need independent, reliable sources, not by a dedicated fansite. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:38, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue here is not that it's a Primary source – again, short "premise"-type info backed by a primary source would be acceptable – The issue here is indeed that the website in question does appear to be a blog-type site, which is unacceptable as per WP:SELFPUBLISH. This site might be acceptable to link to under 'External links', but cannot be used as an inline source. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:01, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
