Talk:Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (game show)

message: As one of the show's biggest fans, I cleaned up the page quite a bit.  I reorganized several bits of information, summarized some sections, and fixed up the quality of the writing.  I think it looks very good now.  Would someone please consider removing at least some of its tags?  I know, there aren't very many sources cited, and I tried my best to find some, but really, what kind of sources would there be for a section that only describes how the game is played?  Apparently, Wikipedia frowns on using video clips as sources, but what else is there?  And why wouldn't the site accept video clips?  It's information straight from the horse's mouth! 67.80.250.40 (talk) 20:57, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: For the video clips, Youtube video clips are not considered reliable sources and they could possibly violate copyrights (see WP:YOUTUBE). Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 20:59, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I would like to clarify what User:Sjones23 said on this point.  Certainly, episodes are not reliable sources, and certain, per WP:LINKVIO, we cannot link to them.  However, episodes can be used acceptably as self-published sources in this article about the show of which the episodes are a part, if no original research is required to make the claims in question.  When citing an episode like that, we cannot include the link to it (unless we are sure that it does not violate copyright law), but we can (in the case of this show) name the episode title and perhaps give a brief quote from the episode justifying the point made in the text, and we can leave it for interested readers who want to see the episode to their own means.

replies: text: How are the episodes "not reliable sources"???  You're practically getting it straight from the horse's mouth so to speak!  What's next, The Complete Peanuts is now "not a reliable source" for content regarding the Peanuts strip???75.81.197.59 (talk) 10:37, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: RJaguar3 is saying that the proper way to reference an episode is to use Template:Cite episode, but since linking to user-submitted videos that are a copyright violation is not allowed, there's not a 100% verifiable way to prove that what one user said happened in a given episode actually happened.

text: If you can check WP:RS/IMDB, it clearly states that IMDB is not a reliable source and using it as a source is deemed as discouraging to Wikipedia. Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Check it out now 

message: One section contains the phrase "see below."  I thought it only proper to make those words a link; the user would click on them and be directed toward the section it's referring to (in this case, the "Pilot/Early Episodes" section).  How do I do that? 67.80.250.40 (talk) 19:29, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need help 

message: Why is there a "citation needed" tag on the Featured Crooks section?  Do we need to verify that these are the crooks featured on the show?  Just direct a reader toward any episode.  Or is there supposed to be a citation for every crook, with the reference being an episode in which he or she was featured?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.109.117.118 (talk) 00:11, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
