Talk:List of Seinfeld episodes

message: Maybe each episode can be listed with a brief discription of the episode, as is done with many other episode lists.
*I would be able to do up to Season 4 but someone would have to do the rest. Sfufan2005 14:27, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
I totally agree! Since there is obviously a lot of inertia to get this thing rolling, why not have a large easy-to-see link at the top of the Seinfeld Episodes list page that takes the user to a "fully Wiki!" page where everyone's energy can get something more admirable accomplished! That way we could start to do justice to the greatest show on Earth. Thoughtmark 14:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I fixed the airdates for seasons 2 and about the first ten episodes of season 3, since they were ordered according to when they were produced rather then when they aired, but there's still a lot to do. Over 150 episodes need pages for themselves and the page itself doesn't look very attractive. I'm not going for a featured list, but it would be nice if the episode list for one of my favorite shows got cleaned up a little. I'll try to add as much as I can when I can, but anyone else's help would be cool, too. Zone46 03:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why does it need a lot of work for? I mean I only changed the article to wikitables and added pictures but I think the pictures make it a lot more attractive. I'd be willing to help but you have to tell me what you think needs work. Sfufan2005 03:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe I overreacted a little, but I guess I really mean that most episodes need their own pages. I don't really know much about Templates and the design of the list, but to me, the whole thing just doesn't stand out much.  Anyway, that's just my opinion. Most of the pictures are great, but you can tell with some of them that someone just took a picture of the episode paused on their TV. Just look at the Puffy Shirt screenshot. Zone46 23:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah that one is pretty bad because I used my camera with that one. The first half of the Season 5 pictures are pretty bad (because they're blurry and have bad color) and that's my fault but I did the rest on my computer using the screen capture. I have to thank Grandstarx who did the remainder of the season photos which were of very good quality. Sfufan2005 23:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I replaced the image from The Face Painter which looked really bad and like someone took a picture with their camera. I have a TV card and that episode was on tonight so I got a screengrab that was close to the picture that was there. Aster Placed 03:28, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: all the episodes in season 2 are out of order according to airdate. why?
*Because they are in order of how they were shot according to the Seinfeld Vol 1 DVD. I'll add a production code section and fix those episodes later. Sfufan2005 21:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Mistake in Season 2 Episode 1

message: I added the  tag to this article.  It's monstrous!!!  We're supposed to keep articles under 32 KB but this one has grown to 88 KB.  Besides that, it has tons of little images!  I've got a fast cable modem and this article takes a noticeable length of time to load.  I can't imagine unfortunate folks on dial-up - it must take forever!  There's no reason this can't be broken up into individual season articles with templates for navigating, etc.  —Wknight94 (talk) 14:30, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Absoultely not, its better to keep the entire article on this page. Look at South Park's page and that is a featured article. No, I do not agree with a split merge. Plus this show isn't Lost meaning a continuous storyline and its all part of the Wiki TV project. The pictures I believe make the page seem better and less mundane compared to other "season" pages. I do not agree.Sfufan2005 14:45, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The List of South Park episodes article also takes a while to load - and it has around 25 fewer images and is only 62 KB.  They both need to be split IMHO but this one even more so.  —Wknight94 (talk) 16:06, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Feel free to take down the tag - but I'd advise hearing from someone who is stuck with dial-up.  I'm not talking about style, I'm talking about dial-up folks waiting for anywhere from 20 seconds to several minutes when they first bring up this page.  Seems cruel, esp. when it's unnecessary.  —Wknight94 (talk) 18:55, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Splitlong

message: What do people think of having the episode lists as a horizontal template at the bottm as opposed to being part of the infobox? My main reason for this is because the infobox in most articles is way longer than the actual text and looks kind of messy like that. Thoughts? Cvene64 09:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nearly all other T.V. episode articles contain a vertical bar at the right and I don't think it would be a good idea to break convention. It would be better to expand the current episodes so the infobox isn't the longest anymore.--Will2k 14:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Has anyone noticed how a lot of (or most) of these episodes have "(Sienfeld episode)" after the title? A lot of times this is unneccesary because there is no other wikipedia article with the same name. I think some of them need to be changed/ --Ted87 04:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Uh, it looks like this list is supposed to be in broadcast order (which it says it is), but some of the episodes are out of order (probably in production order). I'm going to try and fix this by putting them in broadcast order.  - 68.37.125.87 15:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it is much better to have episodes in production order because this is how the writers intended them and often episodes reference things that happened in earlier episodes.  If episodes are viewed in broadcast order, these references will not make sense.  On the South Park episodes page, it was decided to put the episodes in production order for this very reason.

message: The title of the first episode was NOT "The Seinfeld Chronicles." That was the title of the whole series when that episode aired. The actual title of the episode was "Good News, Bad News."

replies: text: Nope you're wrong there, it has been confirmed by the writers that the title of the pilot IS "The Seinfeld Chronicles" which is how it was released on the DVD and on NBC. Sfufan2005 17:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The episode list for Seinfeld still needs to be simplified. It got all those lines and its driving me crazy. If only they could cut it down so I don't have to scroll all the way down the list so that I'm a few seconds away, especially if I go between pages. If they can't resolve it, I'll do my work and I'll show what the list should look like to avoid frustration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyauau2000 (talk • contribs) 
::Could you please clarify yourself? We're trying to improve the page not make it simpler by deleting introductions and cutting down lines which help aid the show. Please do not remove anything without consulting since you have done this in the past on other Seinfeld pages and your edits were quickly reverted. Thank you. Sfufan2005 02:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: I'm mystified by the list.

message: I'm always curious about syndication, people who edit down the episodes, if it would not be too much trouble that with each episodes that they'll take notes of which parts that have been cut out, revoice or re-edit so it will be easy to know what is different from the original. Or they can make a Seinfeld Syndication page to not completely destroy the other episode pages.

message: Is it just me or are they too lazy to list all the clips into those two hour episodes. I'll put it this way. Take as much time as you can and see if you can feel in those two hour episodes. I'll be waiting until February to see if anyone can handle that challenge. If by February that all I see is a few sentence page then I wonder what is the holdup. If you're reading this page, do this honour for me and maybe it will be resolved.

message: I liked having the season logos on this list with each season's episodes.  I thought that it was interesting to see how the logo changed from season to season. It was recently removed after I put them back because it was a stretch of fair use.  I view this similarly to how I view the evolution of the NBC logo.

message: There are three types of writing credits mentioned in the show: Written by, Teleplay by, Story by. I think we should omit those who only contribute story and don't actually write lines since imdb usually doesn't credit them either. The Limo was written by Larry Charles and Larry Levin and story was by Marc Jaffe. Only Larry Charles is acknowledged on this page. There are some examples where those who are only credited for the story are put here as the writers. There is a lot of mess with this writing credits for a featured article. We should make a rule and stick to it. Fletch101 (talk) 02:17, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Writing Credits

message: I'd like to propose we move the DVD information to below the episode listing. For one, a part from the LOE pages, it's generally standard practice among TV and Film articles to put DVD info last. This is a List of Episodes page, and not a List of DVDs page, so the first thing a reader should see should be the episodes. It's also a bit misleading to have it under "Series overview" (or something similar), because it isn't an overview or a summary. It's just a table for the DVD releases. I recently adjusted List of Smallville episodes to reflect that, moving the DVD info below the episodes under the new header of "Home video release", which is more appropriate given what it actually is. This isn't a major change, but I'd rather come to the talk pages of all the relevant LOE pages first. 
P.S. I removed the image from the lead, as these have never passed WP:FUC. I'm not sure if it was there when the FLC took place or not, but someone should have mentioned that it was decided a long time ago that images for LOE pages don't meet the fair-use criteria.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 12:14, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The deletion of the article on this episode defies logic.
Virtually all other episodes have a separate article on them.
I assume this article found on a user page is the one deleted.  
There also appears to be a breach of the deletion process.

message: Have there been any discussion about whether every individual episode of the show really are notable for their own articles? I can imagine that some of the episodes, like the Soup Nazi, are notable, but all of them? Many of them are unreferenced and are simply retelling the plot in the editor's own words.
