replies: text: At least for the broadcast list, in the table format I'm working on (see this), I'll provide a link to as many station websites as I can find to support the data.  Won't be perfect, but it's a start.     --   Huntster (Talk • Contribs • Email) 17:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Great. I would suggest using reference format, though, as the external links in the article already use it. —Mira 02:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I've been battling back and forth as to which format would be best.  Reference format is more uniform, but probably is rarely used, while inline links are more "usable" but muddy the waters.  I'll experiment both ways though.     — Huntster «Talk • Contribs • Email» 04:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: References

message: Okay, people are going wild with how to format To Be Announced dates, both in form and code.  There needs to be some kind of absolute form to use.  I propose that TBA be used for *anything* that hasn't had a firm date announced/leaked.  So, no "TBA, 2006", no "Month, Year", even if a general statement has been made (as has been with Season 8 in Region 1...stated to be available by Christmas '06).  Strictly TBA until something firm is given.  Concur?
Another quick issue:  would it be reasonable to revert if someone posts a date without sourcing it?  Any situation where this wouldn't be appropriate?     — Huntster «Talk • Contribs • Email» 18:42, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On the TBA thing, I agree. As for reverting, I see no problem with removing unsourced material at any time. However, it would be polite to at least note in the edit summary that the material is being removed because it is unsourced, and that it can and will be re-added if a source is provided. If you wanted to go the extra mile, you could also leave a note to that effect on the user's talk page. —Mira 04:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good thoughts.  My problem is that I don't feel the need to tell an anon IP jack (and those are who do the most of this kind of edit), since they can't even bother to take the simple step of registering...but that's just me, and I'll get over it, as you are correct in that it is the best thing to do.  Unless I hear a convincing argument opposing, I'll impliment this.     — Huntster «Talk • Contribs • Email» 09:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  TBA issue and unsourced dates 

message: *To me, an image cannot be "announced". Well, there can be an announcement about the image, but when the image itself is shown for the first time, it is, in my eyes, "released".

replies: text: Well, I can say that the first time I saw TBR used was just recently (on a different Charmed article here, actually), and it took me until quite a while later before I figured out what it meant. TBA may be preferable for simplicity's sake. —Mira 02:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: TBA really should be used, because it isn't the image itself that is being announced, its the DVD cover illustration (and yes, they are generally 'announced' in a sort of press release).  In any case, TBA and TBD are the traditional terms to use when referring to a future event or date that is unspecified, and TBD definitely would not fit this example.  At least, I've never heard of others :)   ···Q  Huntster  T • @ • C  04:01, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I just looked on my master resource for all things Acronym, Acronym Finder, and that particular usage of TBR isn't there.  Just a thought.  ···Q   Huntster (T) • @ • (C)  04:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  TBA versus TBR 

message: I'm wondering why Hungary was removed from syndication info. On what basis was it removed? AdamDobay 16:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not exactly sure.  I believe that Robin removed it (and others) because nothing could be found on the broadcaster website relating to current airings, but I might be mistaken in that.  Please re-add if you know current data, or I will when I'm able to do an analysis (since I don't read/write/speak Hungarian ;) -- Huntster T • @ • C 20:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well since the Hungarian title has nothing to do with Charmed (Bűbájos boszorkák) and contains a character untypable on English keyboards, no wonder you couldn't find anything. The show's reruns are airing just fine (as noted in the text before they were removed), so I'll just put that back and perhaps put in a Hungarian TV schedule website link. AdamDobay 11:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't looked myself, but using non-english characters is not a problem for me.  Anyway, yeah, please do replace it with the appropriate info, or pull the records from history. -- Huntster T • @ • C 14:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone think that having the DVD covers on this page qualifies under the fair-use laws? They should be here to illustrate the differences in regions. --Malevious  Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 19:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While I personally desperately want to save these covers, and screencaps on "List of ... episodes" pages, such usage does fail Wikipedia's fair use policy, and thus they are going away.  I don't like it, and believe it foolish to withhold a valuable resource, but it is what it is. -- Huntster T • @ • C 22:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They may not qualify on the LOE page, but having them here should since we discuss the differences in regions, using them to illustrate that should qualify them for fair-use. --Malevious  Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 22:51, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to pursue this issue, by all means speak to some admins and get some options.  Personally, I'm done slamming my head into this particular brick wall, which is what it has felt like trying to talk to people myself.  I've found its either allnothing or nothing with them. -- Huntster T • @ • C 23:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:CharmedboSound.jpg

message: Should we make note of the Charmed RPG/board games that have been released? I'm not certain whether they were officially released or not, but I know they exist. I believe three editions have been released in Europe. Considering the possibility that the proprietors of Charmed have a strict license on releasing Charmed merchandise, making these board games legit/official, it may be worth investigating to determine whether they are notable enough to add to this article. TJ 08:07, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If they can be determined as being legit, then it warrants a mention, but if it is some fan release or unauthorised, I don't think there's any reason to include it. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 20:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
