Talk:List of Scrubs episodes/Archive 1

message: Have just removed the section referencing S6E16 "My Accident" - I can't find reference to this anywhere on the internet, and there is already an episode (My Words of Wisdom) referenced to 616.  Having Ang Lee directing also seems far fetched.  I could be wrong, but the text removed follows for discussion:
JD accidentally gives Isabella an overdose of paracetamol causing her to enter a coma. A dramatic end to the sixth series where JD contemplates suicide. (Director Ang Lee) 
Oh, and the author has one other questionable edit, changing the whole Osama Bin Laden page to "? I cant edit this page?" (Forgot to sign in) JebJoya 01:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: My Accident(?)

message: I just completed a total revamp of the article. It borrows from similar listings. It needs a huge number of screenshots now, buts its really late here so I wont be completing them tonight. It also needs production codes for season 5.
Please, where possible, make edits to complete.

text: You use the 'Upload file' link in the toolbox to the right, then edit the page to include the same markup as the ones i placed in, obviously changing the filename to that which you called the file (I chose the name of the episode). Also, to ensure that pictures are attributed to the appropriate copyright I chose screenshot from tv show and made my screenshots half resolution, and finally, put them into Category:Screenshots of Scrubs.

thread_title: List of Scrubs episodes revamp

message: In some of the article pages, plot descriptions are directly taken from TV.com. For example, the page My Fifteen Seconds (Scrubs episode) appears to come from here. On the Terms of Use page on TV.com, they expressly state that all materials are copyrighted and may not be used on other sites with permission . Am I missing something? --MZMcBride 00:19, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Blame Thricecube, he seems to be the one behind it, and all of his other episode page creations seem to follow the same pattern. I'm judging that by the fact he always leaves a link to the tv.com recap, he didn't know of any infringement going on. -- Viewdrix 00:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, this was brought up back in May? I just found out that these articles were copyvio two days ago... see Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#A_chain_of_at_most_114_copyvio_articles for the discussion. I am leaving a note here to announce that I am removing the plot summaries from the pages that are copyright violations. Hopefully summaries can be eventually rewritten in a unique way. Cowman109Talk 17:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed all the copyvio from the first season that I could find, the only two that I couldn't find to be copyvio were My_First_Day_%28Scrubs_episode%29 and My_Last_Day_%28Scrubs_episode%29. Could someone please confirm that these are not copyvio in any way? Thanks. Cowman109Talk 18:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have hopefully cleared all the copyright violations I could find from tv.com and scrubs-tv.com. So, there should be nothing to worry about not - just the first three seasons could use episode summaries if anyone's up to the task, hehe. Cowman109Talk 19:24, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Season 6

message: I have added another episode to the Season 6 section, confirmed by multiple sources as a musical episode in which a patient with aneurism sees the characters singing as a musical. This episode has been confirmed as the 6th in the season.
:According to a video explaining the musical episode of the 6th season, "My Musical" is the 6th episode of the 6th season. (video here: http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/?p=2311 - if you look at the script it says 606 above the title). obbie1kenoby
Also, there may be a mistake with the details of My Mirror Image. In Season 5, Carla got pregnant 8 episodes before Jordan did. This has lead some people to the conclusion that there may be a typo error with the pregnancy lengths given, as the timings on the pregnancies would be illogical. Jordan is listed '14-weeks' the hyphen being used incorrectly, compared to Carla at 9 1/2 weeks. The writer from the source for this (Spoilerfix.com) may have meant 1-4 weeks. EJB341
:^Agreed - I believe that Jordan is supposed to be having twins, which is why she is so much bigger so much earlier in her pregnancy. --86.134.239.159 00:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: see articles for House, and pretty much every other TV Show - it's spoiler control - if people want to find the summaries they can go to that specific episodes page. the spoiler warnings aren't exactly prominint you know. Blythy 03:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The spoiler warnings appear at the top of the page and thus should be assumed to cover the entire page unless a spiler ending is seen; it is not the fault of the article and worth arguably handicapping it if a reader fails to understand this layout. Furthermore, out of the Featured lists that include television episodes, the only List in which future episode plots have been disclosed, List of Stargate SG-1 episodes, include those future plots. No Featured lists include the "Summaries to be written after episode airs" tags, nor do many articles other than House that I can find. In fact, looking at articles in :Category:Lists of upcoming television episodes, only List of Gilmore Girls episodes includes the same tag in future episodes. -- Viewdrix 00:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fix? 

message: I noticed that S6 E19 had the name of the cast member after each of their character's name, and commented (several times) on the fact that Elizabeth Banks guest stars. Completely unneccesary, as any guest stars should probably be listed in the episode's individual page and Elizabeth Banks plays Kim, which is more of a permanent role than something that warrants special mention, let alon "guest star"
:Methinks someone's just cut'n'pasted the episode summary from a tv guide or spoiler site, which often includes guest stars names. They've just been lazy and neglected to remove these names, in order to keep the ep summaries consistent. --Ninevah 22:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Can someone with wiki formatting proficiency edit the Writer(s) column? They are inconsistent. Seasons 1-4 have the column occupy the height of the entire episode entry. Seasons 5-6 have the column occupy only the top of each episode entry, like the other columns (Title, Original airdate, Production code, and Director). I would recommend that the Writer(s) column have the seasons 5-6 format, unless someone can explain otherwise. Thank you! Vchao 04:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  S6 Production Codes 

message: I really think we should revamp the Scrubs Episode chronology so that every episode of a season is shown, instead of the previous episode and the next episode.  It can be frustrating when wanting to go to another episode of that season, you have to go to List of Scrubs episodes and select that episode.  An example of episode listing is the on the Treehouse of Horror VII page. Minker 04:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: i have to disagree on that, i feel that it just clutters up the episode articles. all that is really necessary is a link to the season--Jac16888 21:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Season 7 info

message: You have reverted by edits on this article without sufficient explanation.  I have rewritten the season summaries for seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.  As they were, the season summaries were messes.  I fixed them up so now they are correct, grammar- and spelling-wise, not to mention a lot less repetitive and a lot more informative.  I fail to understand why you have reverted these edits.  Please post your explanation here; I prefer to discuss this so this doesn't degenerate into an edit war.  71.255.94.129 (talk) 00:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: UPDATE:  Okay, I did remove the spoilers from the summaries.  I'll work on making them less wordy later; feel free to edit them down in the meantime, just don't revert back to the way it was before I started editing (those versions, as I said above, were a mess).  Thanks for the advice!  71.255.94.129 (talk) 01:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: UPDATE:  Now I have tried to siphon off most of the excess information from the season summaries in question to the point where the rewritten version still sounds better and summarizes everything better, but is not excessively long or trivial.  They are now down to a pretty nice size, in my opinion.  If anyone else wants to edit them down a bit more, feel free to do so, but I don't think I personally would change anything else about them.  (And of course, you could always just post it here.)  And once again, the seasons in question are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.  I realize that these efforts have probably fallen by the wayside of your interest because of this new issue of whether or not most of the episodes have any real-world relevance, but thank you for the advice.  71.255.90.58 (talk) 22:47, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
