Talk:List of Numbers episodes

message: The format of the episode lists takes after my original format from List of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes.
Ideally these would happen:
* A screenshot for each episode
* A concise description of each episode in the list
* A full overview/synopch episode would go on EPISODE NAME (NUMB3RS episode)
* A season infobox on each episode (see Volcano (South Park episode))
* A succession box at the bottom of each episode (again see Volcano (South Park episode))

message: I noticed the page was getting larger and with season 3 coming soon, I thought I might separate the seasons into their own page so they can be expanded with more information as well, without making the main page too long and big. -- Ladida 14:19, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are other episode lists that are much longer than 3 seasons.  For example, list of South Park episodes. Cburnett 03:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Separate pages for separate seasons

message: I don't think it's a good idea to copy blind episode spoilers from Spoilerfix.com. (Season three episodes from "Brutus" on are from Spoilerfix)
1. They are not being credited as the source
2. They are frequently wrong
3. A simple shorter description after the episode airs would give better information. --LadyShelley 22:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: If you are going to insist on copying verbatim a source have the decency to credit it.  I have half a mind to go through and delete any spoilers that are copied over from spoilerfix.com --LadyShelley 05:07, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Unfortunately that's not how it works.  Spoilerfix gets their info from script calls and the like.  they aren't getting any info from here.  :-) --LadyShelley 21:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fair use removal 

message: The descriptions of all episodes from #311 on are taken word-for-word from the TV.com website. I believe this is a copyright violation.  I suggest the folks who have been consistently editing this article take this opportunity to describe the episodes using their own words; the Wikipedia copyright policy indicates that such violations need to be removed from articles.  Since this is such a well-maintained page generally, there are probably enough editors familiar with the program to be able to clean this up without having the rest of their work adversely affected.

thread_title:  Massive copyright violation 

message: Hi guys, in episode 209, there's a suspect on a pile of a load of explosives with a flare and the cops have surrounded him. If the man drops the flare they all die, if he surrenders he could go to jail/be executed for his crime, so he's stuffed either way. David Krumholtz comes up with more magical math, he says if you give the man more leverage, he'll be able to negotiate to a desirable peaceful outcome. What was this equation (or whatever) called please? Ryan4314 (talk) 08:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Season 3 - Episode Numbers 

message: I'd like to propose we move the DVD information to below the episode listing. For one, a part from the LOE pages, it's generally standard practice among TV and Film articles to put DVD info last. This is a List of Episodes page, and not a List of DVDs page, so the first thing a reader should see should be the episodes. It's also a bit misleading to have it under "Series overview" (or something similar), because it isn't an overview or a summary. It's just a table for the DVD releases. I recently adjusted List of Smallville episodes to reflect that, moving the DVD info below the episodes under the new header of "Home video release", which is more appropriate given what it actually is. This isn't a major change, but I'd rather come to the talk pages of all the relevant LOE pages first.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 12:14, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd oppose this as well (see my rationale at Talk:List of Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes, but not for other such pages that focus more on the DVD like List of Smallville episodes. This one contains useful information about start and end dates for the season, and I think that is useful enough to keep it prominently featured. NuclearWarfare (Talk) 20:42, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
