Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Episode lists/Archive 1

message: Exceptions to this rule come if a television series is very new (i.e. less than two seasons on the air), in which case a table would clutter the page instead of providing clarity.
I suggest always using a table unless there were only ever less than two seasons on the air.  This way:
# There's no rework required when further episodes are aired
# People less familiar with the convention will add lines to the table by default

message: Hi, I'm a member of the Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper.  We recently began assessing using these criteria, and we are looking for A-Class and good B-Class articles, with no POV or copyright problems.  Can you recommend any suitable articles?  Please post your suggestions here. Thanks a lot! Walkerma 21:50, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Articles for the Wikipedia 1.0 project 

message: Just curious if there was a consensus on what television shows should get their own page for an episode list, and which should just have the list on their original article page. For example, I'm pretty sure that The Andy Griffith Show's eight seasons and significant popularity make it worthy of a seperate page. But what about the spinoff shows Mayberry RFD or Gomer Pyle, USMC? If I create List of Gomer Pyle, USMC Episodes, will it get nominated for deletion as being "listcruft" or "non-notable"? Or are all television shows notable enough to warrant a seperate episode list article?
Thank you. Dan the Man Khan 01:26, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It is important information, and should be listed somewhere. Personally, I think that more than one season would warrant a separate page.  Otherwise the page for the TV show just gets too crowded.  Do you agree? Tomtheman5 23:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Which Television Shows Should Get Their Own Page?

message: Hello, is there anybody working in this project ? Isn't it duplicated with the sub-page Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episode list style guide of the proejct Wikipedia:WikiProject Television ? Shouldn't we merge these two articles, and may be close one this project, which is not really active ! Lvr 16:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's funny, both have the same content and were created at the same time. I think they should be merged.--Will2k 14:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is there anybody here ? 

message: I've been looking through some tv series I'm interested in and have begun improving their episode lists in line with this project. I suggest that production codes are always included along with air dates as episode numbers are subject to debate and are sometimes confused. Perhaps it should also be mentioned at the top of the page whether the DVD releases are sorted by production number or air dates for example the family guy DVDs are sorted by the air dates, however Futurama was released in exact production order. Also how about a list on the project page of all episode lists in line with this project? Also there is nothing about multipart episodes and quotation marks do they go here  "Two Part Episode (Part I)" or here "Two Part Episode" (Part II). I think the (part II) is not part of the episode title so it should be outside the quotations especially as the links are supposed to point to one article for a multi-part episode.

replies: text: The project is on hiatus pending a volunteer to take control of the project. All the points you made are agreeable and I say go ahead with all the ideas presented (I also recommend modifying the main page as required). Can you add a section to the main page that is a list of lists that match the criteria. "Two Part Episode (Part I)" sounds best to me. Capitalization issues are probably best left for the other project (The one dedicated to how individual episode articles should look). Come to think of it, two part episodes probably should be referred to that project too. For images, I was under the assumption that screenshots are always fair-use. If this is not always the case, refer the question to the Wikipedia helpdesk or a relatable licensing project. Sorry I have to leave you dangling there but I trust you, or another eager volunteer can step up to command this thing.--Will2k 04:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  I'm interested 

message: I have been in the home video business for over twenty years and the historical footage business for nearly as long. I also wrote a book on the great television series, The Prisoner, starring Patrick McGoohan.
My family happens to own a video portal and British Pathe...On teh video portal, there are CLEARED VIDEO clips for streaming. This includes The Honeymooners Lost Episodes, Lucy, Jack Paar, and literally dozens of quality stuff.
I started linking to external resources and was targeted for "Link Spamming" and self-promotion. I made it known that I was connected to EVTV1.com, the video portal.
I agreed that I would no longer link videos. By the way, each video clip is preceded by a :15 commercial... I would be willing to compose a list of all video clips dealing with television shows and make these available to any Wiki editor or writer. I will no longer link myself...it appears to be a conflict of interest.
The thing about the list is that there is no question regarding the rights... these have ALL been cleared (the ones I would make available. I will also post this message in "Resources". Please let me know if I should go through the work to do this. I am willing to do it if teh community thinks it is worthwhile. Please post responses. 
Thank you, 
Jaffer

message: Just asking for a bit of help with the Samurai Jack episode guide. I can't seem to make the table function correctly. You can see on the page that Season 3 has only parts of the coloured spacers showing and doesn't display 100%. Also when rendered in Internet Explorer the coloured spacers disappear completely. Could anyone please help clean it up a bit. Jack 20:58, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
