Talk:List of Stargate Atlantis episodes

message: I propose that we list all three air dates (US, Canada and UK).  For some episodes the US premieres first, for others it is Canada.  It is a bit confusing.  If you look at tv.com, they use all the US airdates.  I am not proposing that (because I think its fair to list the date that it aired somewhere first) but I think the other dates should be listed.    Seantpainter 23:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canadian vs US Air dates PART 2 

message: The Original Air Dates refer to US Television. In Canada they run earlier ("Michael" ran Friday, Jan 13). Would someone who knows the Canadian air dates please correct the dates to when they aired first (me don't know all dates nor if this is intentional)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.74.174.159 (talk • contribs) 
:RE:  I think we should leave the original U.S. air dates, because that was how SG-1 TV episodes are dated as well as season 1 of Atlantis.  Besides the fact that SG-1 and Atlantis were products and originated from the U.S. we should leave it accordingly, despite the fact that this year Canada seems to be a little rougue by airing it before it airs in the U.S.  You can get part of Canada's TMN airdates here , as they do not leave a history of past air dates.  Although they have been airing the show on Monday nights with the exception of the last episode, 218.
:Also, does anyone know why the table for Season 3 is a bit "jacked up?"  I did a visual comparison with Season 2's but could not find any inconsistencies that would cause it to not extend the second column fully. -- therearenospoons 02:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should be amended to mention that the dates are US air dates and that the series was shown earlier on Canadian television. "Original airdate" is sorta misleading at the moment, y'know? :) --Andylkl [ talk! | c ] 21:17, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

text: In my opinion, the airdate should be the one from the country that aired it first. Since some episodes aired in Canada quite some time before than they did in the US, there is no point in keeping "US airdates". I am not sure how the airing was in the previous seasons but if anyone has the information, it should be corrected. --Tone 23:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I also think that the airdates should be as the original, as in how they aired in Canada.  As for the show being American; both series are filmed and produced in Canada, Vancouver, BC, specifically, and in fact, the only American actor in this series is Joe Flanigan, all others are Canadian, so that should not be your basis for showing the US airdates.

text: The consensus seems to be to go with Canada's airdates, so it has been done.  Anyone with objections feel free to revert the changes, otherwise, it seems only logical to go with how the word original is defined.  Again, does anyone know why Season 3's table is smaller than the other Seasons'?

message: I'm totally new to Wikipedia, so please forgive any mistakes I may make in this or in the similar post I've put in the SG-1 episode list forum. 
I'm concerned that there are significant copyright violations in at least three of the Wikipedia Atlantis episode synopses, all from the second season.  Large sections of each synopsis are borrowed almost word-for-word from the official synopses at SciFi Channel's site, without any citation.  The three problem articles I've discovered are:  "Duet" (WP synopsis vs. SciFi synopsis), "Epiphany" (WP synopsis vs. SciFi synopsis), and "The Long Goodbye" (WP synopsis vs. SciFi synopsis).
I hope that someone with more experience than I have can address this potential problem;  with apologies for passing the buck, I'm probably not the person for the job.  It's taken me more time than I expected--and can spare--just to learn how to post this message!  Thanks.  Kiramin 18:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I am in the process of tagging episode articles of Atlantis for cleanup, mainly for not establishing , for too long  summaries, for having a  section, and for lacking a production and reception section (usually one sourced medium-sized paragraph each is sufficient to establish notability). Note that no definite actions are planned for what to do with nonnotable episodes, but it is likely that their articles will be adapted to follow wikipedia policies and guidelines, namely WP:NOTABILITY/WP:FICTION/WP:EPISODE, WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:TRIVIA (and a few more). In the worst case, such articles will be transwikied and given a new home at wikia:Stargate (see List of Stargate SG-1 episodes for how that might look), in the best case all articles are expanded to establish notability (official TV magazines, companion guides, audio commentaries and reliable reviews can help out with info, see 200 (Stargate SG-1) and maybe Zero Hour (Stargate SG-1) for examples). There are currently discussions to consider season pages where most/all episode articles are merged (see Smallville (season 1) for an example). As I said, nothing is set in stone at this time, so please don't have the tags cause you panic. :-) You are encouraged to improve the articles, and remove cleanup tags when they no longer apply. – sgeureka t•c 19:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As per Recent changes and the non-interest in cleanup activities regarding the SG-1 episode articles, I take it there is also not much hope that the Atlantis episode articles will be brought in line with existing wikipedia policies and guidelines (see above). Therefore, I'll do what seems to have worked well for the SG-1 articles: transwiki them and link there. This saves the information from deletion (as in completely in-accessible). Because of the current  arbcom injunction, I will of course not redirect any Atlantis articles. Once the injunction is lifted, I'll leave a few of the more notable/popular episode articles on wikipedia after the transwiki, while redirecting the others. The episodes that stay can be re-evaluated at a later time. All of these actions can be undone in case someone wants to work on an article (see the examples above how episode articles should look). I have not yet decided if Season articles like those for SG-1 are the way to go for Atlantis, but I think it's worth a try later. – sgeureka t•c 15:47, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
