Talk:Outrageous Fortune (TV series)

message: This article needs a picture - there's promo material at the official site, but I don't know how one goes about getting that cleared under the GFDL.  Other TV shows have what looks like proprietary images - Lost has a promo poster.  The official sitehas wallpaper it invites you to download - does that mean free use?  A cut-down version of this onewould be nice. --Tirana 04:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that qualifies as a promotional poster, so I've added it to the article. We're supposed to use low quality images, but their web site doesn't offer a smaller version, so I've uploaded it as is and explained my justification.-gadfium 04:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Where were The Black Seeds used? They certainly haven't been in Series 2 at all. PhilZombie 04:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Loretta's birthday party - I forget which song, maybe "Fire". --Tirana 02:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, that's not correct. All the music from the party was heavy rock, mostly by Joel Haines the show's composer. PhilZombie 06:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Fair enough.  I know I heard it somewhere though.  A party scene with Van, and you can hear it through the walls.  Maybe I'm getting the two seasons muddled. --Tirana 04:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Music 

message: This section could do with some improvement, but most of all it needs a clear reference point (timewise). Saying Aurora is 'now' with the gangs is implying time is as it was up to Episode 6. It would probably be best to use end of season as the reference point, so all information should be past tense ie. Aurora was with the Horseman until Van rescued her.

replies: text: I have begun to update season Two, adding storyline details like Wolf going on the run and Loretta sleeping with Hayden and Pascalle's relationship with Bruce etc etc. But it is late so it is far from complete. I'll rewrite everything into the proper tense tomorrow. Dippit 13:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Since these season summaries contain major spoilers, and the program is now being sold overseas (I think an Australian TV station is currently showing series 1), do we want to move the summaries to Outrageous Fortune, Season 1 and Outrageous Fortune, Season 2? That would allow people to look up the cast list and basic details without seeing plot details.-gadfium 19:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps some more visible spoiler warnings?  I agree that season 2 has some plot twists that should be kept out of the way of casual readers.  Not sure if each warrants its own page yet, though.  What does Lost do?--Tirana 20:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Lost has a one paragaraph summary of each season on its main page and seperate articles detailing the seasons in more depth (not to mention summaries for every episode). Perhaps what we have now is enough but when they page starts getting too big (more than 30kb) then we can have seperate pages for each season. Dippit 13:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Season 2 summary 

message: The comment that the fourth season has completed filming in March 2008 is not correct (and may be based on misinterpretation of an interview with Robyn Malcom where she states filming of the fourth episode - not fourth season - has been completed).  Filming is still ongoing, and casting calls for extras continue as of end March 2008.

thread_title:  Season 4 

message: Just checked the TV3 website and no sign of season 5 beginning on march 14th?
:The statement was added quite some time ago and is presumably only an estimate. Since it is unsourced and incorrect, I've removed it.-gadfium 19:00, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Season 5 

message: I suggest that we move this article to Outrageous Fortune and move the article on the movie currently at that title to Outrageous Fortune (movie)Outrageous Fortune (film). I believe the television series is the more important subject. It has won multiple awards, and a fifth season is currently in production. It has aired in several countries, has been remade in the Uk and is being remade in the US. It will naturally have a hatnote for the movie if moved to this title. I will take care of changing all links if the move is accepted.-gadfium 04:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I note that somebody has now gone and done this and I believe everything is in the right place.  Of course Outrageous Fortune should have belonged to Shakespeare in the first place.  The way the move has been done 'though has left a lot of links to a disambig page that need to be redirected. Ex nihil (talk) 23:51, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: I propose that Characters in Outrageous Fortune be merged into Outrageous Fortune (TV series)#Cast and Characters. The series itself is notable but notability is not interited by the characters just because the series is notable. Brief character descriptions can be included in the main article but there is no need for a separate article unless the characters are verified as being notable outside the fictional universe. Wikipedia articles should describe fiction and fictional elements from the perspective of the real world, not from the perspective of the fiction itself. When an article about an aspect of a work of fiction is created, the subject's real-world notability must be established according to the general notability guideline by including independent reliable secondary sources. Characters in Outrageous Fortune fails to do this. McWomble (talk) 11:31, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Support good idea. Ex nihil (talk) 11:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Oppose merger. The Characters article has just been created, and is in the process of being expanded and sourced.-gadfium 19:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: www.outrageousfortune.co.nz is not a reliable source. You must cite independent reliable secondary sources to establish real-world notability and support any claim. McWomble (talk) 10:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge 

message: From the lede: ...making it the longest running drama series made in New Zealand. 
Excluding soaps, presumably, otherwise both Close to Home and Shortland Street would be well ahead of it. That probably needs mentioning in the text... Grutness...wha? 15:12, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
