Talk:Thomas & Friends series 1

message: I have noticed that someone has been putting in a character named 'Brian Falzon' in some of the episodes of this season. Brian Falzon does not have any part in Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. I would like to ask that whoever it is putting 'Brian Falzon' into this page to plase stop as it will only get deleted immediately, being false information. Thank you.

message: Someone has constantly been putting "view this episode" links onto this page, linking to a site called "YouTube".
Any episode of this series being available online is a breach of copyright, and linking to such episodes is an even more serious breach. As such, any "view this episode" links will be promptly deleted.
Anyone who genuinely wants to view these episodes should go through more official processes, such as purchasing or hiring videos or DVDs.

message: Superfluous content has been popping up fairly regularly in this article and others recently. Please see WikiProject Thomas for further discussion on this.
Superfluous edits include: Goofs, "first time we see X's angry face", appearances of non-character rolling stock, and other such additions. Superfluous comments such as these detract from the article significantly, and will be removed or reverted.

message: A few points to make on this.
# How a character can be introduced in an episode, but not featured in an episode, I'll never understand... So if they're down as "introduced", they should be in "featuring" as well.
# Please do not add "not yet introduced" to cameo appearances, it is very messy. Also, it is made clear when characters are introduced, in the "Characters introduced" section.
# The very first episode does not require qualification of "introducing". Of course this is the case. This is just like putting "first appearance of Thomas and Gordon" on the episode summary - it's bleeding obvious it's a first appearance, there were no episodes before this!
I am considering removing the "Introducing..." points from episode summaries, and leaving that to the "characters introduced" section. The characters' introduction should surely be highlighted in the textual episode summary in any case.

replies: text: EDIT - If a character is "introduced", they must also be "featured". This is now a "rule" across articles for all seasons. For WP:THOMAS, Gonzerelli 06:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Some noob has been replacing "The Fat Controller" with "Sir Topham Hatt" and "Troublesome Trucks" with "Foolish Freight Cars" and other American changes. Now, what this user doesn't understand, is that this is a British program so, British terms are used. Not American. Someone please help! --BigThomasFan 23:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Question 

message: Do NOT I repeat NOT remove the US titles. Just because it's a British program doesn't mean it cannot have less American terms (for example, James Learns a Lesson is an American term). Or does it? TobytheTramEngine 20:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Just want to let everyone know something. Ringo only narrated 25 episodes in the US because the only episode he didn't narrated in the US was "Whistles and Sneezes" he only narrated that episode in the UK. Supermariokart64 (talk) 23:44, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Clear things up

message: I see that this article lists the episodes in their video / DVD order, as opposed to their original broadcast order (namely that "Thomas' Christmas Party" was shown before "Down the Mine").
Indeed, the article doesn't mention that on first broadcast, the episodes weren't just shown 2 a day - they were shown together as a single program with the 'name board' sequence between the individual stories (same for series 2).
Trouble is, I can't find any non-wiki sources to cite to be able to add this to the article. Any suggestions?

message: It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.
To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.
To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.
Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
