Talk:Drive (2007 TV series)

message: I created this page, so I realize that I'm a little biased.  Obviously, information on this character is currently limited.  I can see why people would consider merging it with the main Drive page.  I suggest we keep it for the following reasons: 1)  It will not be long before there is more information on this character, and we will already have a starting point 2)character pages from series are common in Wikipedia, and certainly have a precedent.  Merging for merging's sake will likely lead later to a re-emergence of this page once the show is on.  My vote, for what it is worth, is a strong oppose.

thread_title: Merging of the Character Pages?

message: DriveForums.com is a new site which provides forums for Drive fans to discuss the show.
I do not think it is considered advertising since it is a fan based site. There are no advertisements on the site, so there is no profit made from posting the link.
DriveFans.com is a fan site, which is not removed from the external links. DriveForums.com is similar.
If you disagree with me, please tell me why.
Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.82.162.131 (talk) 22:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The difference is that Drive Fans and its precursor, the Drive News Blog, actually have useful, unique content. From what I can see, DriveForums.com currently has eight topics, only one of which has any replies. Even if there is no financial profit involved, the addition of the link seems less to benefit readers looking for information than it seems to be meant to draw people to a forum to build its user base. It is therefore promotional. We already have a couple forums in the other links. Please refrain from re-adding it until a consensus can be established regarding the appropriateness of the link.

replies: text: You should probably discuss your other link here, too, and perhaps invite the contributor(s) whom you've been edit-warring with to do the same. Dancter 18:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that CTV is realistically the "original" channel, as FOX's broadcast doesn't have any originality to it. Matthew 19:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  FOX 

message: Two comments. 1) Wikipedia is not a news site or a television fan site, but for information. 2) Clearly there are spoilers here without a spoiler warning. We should either remove the spoilers entirely so someone can look at the cast without knowing what is happening, or throw a warning in there.

:I agree! i do think some people that hasn't seen an episode might get spoiled. I didn't get spoiled because I watch the show but that is beside the point. I think there either should be a waring or a deletion.—Wcm2010 23:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Episodes 

message: The list of episodes was merged to this page over a month and a half ago, said action being proposed by Kaizersoze, completed by Wael.Mogherbi, and echoed in a comment from DWP17 at the "list" page: "list of Drive episodes page is unnecessary and can be moved to main article." Matthew, having seen that I updated the infobox (completing an action started by 41.208.70.21), has repeatedly reverted the changes this morning, saying it has to be discussed. Given the history documented above, I would say that the onus is on Matthew to demonstrate why his actions should occur, *before* doing them. Thoughts? --Ckatzchatspy 08:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Propose and discuss. Follow process properly. Thanks. Matthew 08:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Very interesting comment, considering the source. Matthew, you were well aware that the content had been moved here, seeing as how you've edited the page since it was done (and obviously have it watchlisted.) By your standards, based on past comments you have made in similar situations, the onus is on you to find consensus for your changes, not the reverse. --Ckatzchatspy 09:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  "[Y]ou were well aware that the content had been moved here", I became well aware when your edit popped up "avoiding redirection". You're welcome to propose a merge, there's an established process. Matthew 09:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Matthew, you edited the main page on May 29th when the merge tag was present (not my edit), and on June 23rd when the content had already been merged, complete with hard-to-miss green borders. (Again, not my edit.) Finally, there's your third of four edits at List of Drive episodes on June 23rd, when you removed the merge template without explanation or discussion. --Ckatzchatspy 09:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
