Talk:Moonlight (American TV series)

message: Though the series might possess outward similarities to Forever Knight or Angel, it has not aired on CBS. To pass early judgment and thus compromise the neutrality of this article goes against Wikipedia policies. Kiki 06:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to point out that the show has similarities to previous shows, although I question the necessity to list them as this poster has.   I have removed the biased commentary about lack of originality, which seems very unfair.  --Tailkinker 07:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually, the hell with it - the list of similarities is unnecessary and based purely on a trailer for the show, which may not give the true picture.   I think we can lose that, too.   --Tailkinker 07:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for revising it. :) Kiki 08:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The entire criticism section merely compares Moonlight to Angel, without citing sources. This hardly seems adequate for an entire section, and without sources, its similarity to Angel being cited as a criticism is not NPOV. XINOPH | TALK 18:32, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that this article really needs a criticism section, simply because anyone who's watched even one episode of Angel will instantly begin pointing out the obvious similarities. Some of these include: the incessant popping up behind someone else seemingly out of no-where, the black convertible, the attraction to the little blonde girl who is a mortal, killing his ex-lover only for her to somehow come back to haunt him and many more. This could partly be due to David Greenwalt (of Angel fame) doing the showrunning. I'm reluctant to do the edit myself as I don't really have much experience with Wikipedia's rules, but I just thought that I should voice my opinion as I have had conversations with many people about this and I think it needs to be said Niksko (talk) 01:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Any content for such a section would have to be from reliable sources, per Wikipedia's guidelines. Blogs, fan sites, and editor opinions do not meet that standard. If you have any links to critiques that might be suitable, please post them here for review. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 01:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Never heard if it before, so I went and looked at Stephenie Meyer and the links to her books.  Beyond having vampires in it, the two stories are nothing alike at all, IMO.  The Twilight books read like a 90210/Buffy hybrid. Tarc 13:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Fan sites should not be removed simply because they are fan sites. They should be judged individually. People frequently make the mistake of pointing to WP:EL as if it indicates all fan sites should be removed but this is not true. There have been numerous discussions on similar situations;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:External_links/Archive_19#Fan_sites.3F
WP:NOT#LINK for example states; "On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate."
--96.24.161.27 (talk) 19:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: However, one must also keep in mind that there is a need to demonstrate why a particular site merits inclusion, otherwise it can and should be removed. There is not an automatic presumption that there has to be a listing, and if a site is linked, there should be consensus as to why that particular site is best. Otherwise, the next fan that comes along may say "why not this site?" and the list grows. --Ckatzchatspy 20:04, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  For the current site listed (Moonlight Archive), I think it merits inclusion because it is one of the more well known fan sites, it features show data (promo photos, episode data) that is provided courtesy of and with approval from CBS, it is used as a reference earlier in the article itself, and it does not engage in copyright infringement like many other sites (by hosting screencaps, etc). --96.24.161.27 (talk) 14:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The so called mythology of becoming a vampire, role of a sire, stuff they can be hurt with, how they react to sunlight is not as unique as the article says (this refers also struggle between the human and the beast nature, idea how St. John gets his "food" and much more) It has a lot in common with rpg (story telling) game of Vampire: the mascarade. BTw. read the manuals, a lot of intresting ideas about vampires a lot of them exist in this TV series.

message: The DVD of the first season has already been released, I know because I'm watching it right now after I got it for Christmas, it is not a pirate, it came in four discs with each one holding four episodes and the box they came in had proper box art. There is no way the DVD is being released on January 29th, 2009. (The only difference I've noted is that the DVDs I possess have no commentary by O'Loughlin on them) 84.45.134.188 (talk) 22:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I can't speak to the release date since I only bought my copy of the set recently, but it is true that the DVD set did not include commentary from O'Loughlin (or any other bonus features), so that should probably be removed. Dissonancetheory (talk) 10:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
