Talk:Sliders (Sliders episode)

message: Should both parts 1 and parts 2 of the pilot have separate articles? It seems more common for articles on wikipedia to have only one article for two-part episodes, instead of two articles (one for each part). I have found all the following two-part Star Trek episodes with one article for both parts: Gambit (TNG episode), All Good Things... (TNG episode), Encounter at Farpoint (TNG episode), Endgame (Voyager episode), Equinox (Voyager episode), but none that have separate articles for both parts, like the way the sliders pilot does. Perhaps Sliders, Part One (episode) and Sliders, Part Two (episode) should be merged? Q0 04:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I just combined them. There really wasn't enough content for separate articles anyway. Propound 08:29, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: the re-airing of the show over the summer and upon the network switch is informtion pertinent to the show, to the episode, is sourced, and cannot be conveyed in the plot summary.  The information is also not present on the Sliders page.  Perhaps it should be moved there if it does not belong here.  But it SHOULD belong on wikipedia.
:Re-airing information is indiscriminate information, see WP:NOT, it's only related to America as well, Wikipedia is a world wide encyclopaedia. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's called indiscriminate information that is unmanageable and is also non-notable, première dates are by default notable and relevant, repeats are not (over here we can repeat something a million times a week) - Wikipedia has international distribution sections in main articles to list air dates in other countries/USA. Please read WP:AVTRIV, WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:NOT. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I must be a fool, really? - I don't feel the need to right 1,000 characters of convulsed text, sorry. Wikipedia guidelines and policies stand and speak for them self, trivia is non-encyclopaedic, it may be OK in some articles if it can't be avoided (it can here - FOX aired it first, it was just a repeat of Sci-Fi, not a premiere) and it also requires a citation (Your word, what you believe, what you say are not citations - either way the fact it move to Sci-Fi is pertinent to the main article, Sliders, and is already written there last I checked. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Obviously you need to re-re-read, pending, this information would only be pending if it could be merged elsewhere in the article. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 22:13, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
