Talk:Meglos

message: I've removed this from the "broadcast and releases" section:
:*An apparent goof occurs as the end credits for Episode 4 are running: The theme music's pitch slows down and the tempo speeds up, but the running time itself is not affected. (It either occurs in the reruns currently broadcast in Canada on BBCK or it happened on the original BBC1 broadcast back in 1980.)
If we don't know whether this was an error on the original broadcast or just an error on the tape used by BBC Kids in Canada, we probably shouldn't have it in the article.  If anyone knows more about this, especially if there's a reliable source discussing it, we can re-add it with the definitive info. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's as originally broadcast — some sort of sound filter used on the final scene was accidentally left running across the closing titles in the edit. I've only seen this discussed on the RT forum, though. Angmering 11:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like you know more than I do (and more than the person who added the comment to the article).  Feel free to restore the comment with more precise/accurate wording. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Problem is I don't know if there are any published citations for it. Fourth Doctor Handbook or the TV Companion might have it, I suppose, but I don't have either of those with me here in the back of beyond. Angmering 20:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's nothing in The Television Companion, and I don't have access to the Fourth Doctor Handbook.  I suppose there's no great harm in leaving it here on the talk page for now. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 20:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sound goof? 

message: I've recently be rewatching some old episodes and it seems to me that this episode must have been, at least at some stage, intended as a sort of sequel to the episode "The Creature From the Pit" I cannot find any references to such online but I dare say anyone watching the two episodes back to back, as I did by chance, would be struck by the possibility.  Has anyone out there any concrete info on this possibility?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.47.92.230 (talk) 07:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Brotgrug.jpg

message: Pretty much what it says on the tin: my reference to the use of a similar synchronized-camera system on Carl Sagan's Cosmos: A Personal Voyage was deleted, presumably on the grounds of original research. That's understandable, but hugely frustrating. It is a fact that Cosmos used a similar system, albeit one with greater sophistication, and would be well worth mentioning in this article if it weren't for the fact that there's no published citation of the fact. I consider this kind of thing to be a major drawback, and I would really like to know if there's any way of getting around it. Lee M (talk) 21:52, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is it worth mentioning?  There are probably a few shows that used similar techniques.  These are probably best mentioned in an article about scene-sync.  DonQuixote (talk) 22:02, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Aside from the WP:OR problems DonQuixote has hit the nail on the other reason for my removal of the info. The Borgia's (mentioned on the DVD extra) as well as several other television shows of the era used the technology. While the technology deserves a mention the shows don't, anymore than Meglos would merit a mention on any wikiarticles for those shows. As DQ mentions with WP:RSs it is worth mentioning on the article for scene-sync. MarnetteD | Talk 22:26, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Is there anyway to request that MarnetteD be barred in editing at least this article.
MarnetteD has consistently showed only an interest in maintaining the status quo of articles and is close minded about new information. 122.108.156.100 (talk) 11:40, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: If the "new info" was written in a way that was concise and if it was understandable that would be helpful. Instead it rambles on and makes no sense. MarnetteD|Talk 14:21, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: OK I have cleaned it up so that readers can understand it. I also used the proper formatting for the reference. Look, I know that your heart is in the right place with your edits but you really should learn how to do these things to be helpful to the encyclopedia. MarnetteD|Talk 15:07, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
