Talk:Thomas & Friends series 2

message: Okay, I can't find evidence right now to support either way, but why do people insist on deleting the U.K. titles of the episodes?  If anything, the U.S. titles have more justification to be deleted since Thomas and Friends is a U.K. that was brought to the U.S.  So, please, can someone provide a valid reason to keep deleting U.K. titles?  Until I see justification, I think it's best to keep reverting the edits by these anonymous users who update the titles in dozens of edits in 20 minute spans.--Metros232 18:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

message: As noted on the Season 1 Discussion page, Brian Falzon is not a real character from the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends TV Series. We would appreciate it if whoever it is that insists on blatantly putting this fake character into these pages would kindly stop. Thehalford 03:36, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  "View Episode" 

message: Superfluous content has been popping up fairly regularly in this article and others recently. Please see WikiProject Thomas for further discussion on this.
Superfluous edits include: Goofs, "first time we see X's angry face", appearances of non-character rolling stock, and other such additions. Superfluous comments such as these detract from the article significantly, and will be removed or reverted.

thread_title: Superfluous content

message: A couple of points to make on this.
# How a character can be introduced in an episode, but not featured in an episode, I'll never understand... So if they're down as "introduced", they should be in "featuring" as well.
# Please do not add "not yet introduced" to cameo appearances, it is very messy. Also, it is made clear when characters are introduced, in the "Characters introduced" section.
I am considering removing the "Introducing..." points from episode summaries, and leaving that to the "characters introduced" section. The characters' introduction should surely be highlighted in the textual episode summary in any case.

thread_title:  Featuring / Introducing 

message: Why do these sentences keep getting deleted?: Percy agrees that it's a shame. Gordon scoffs that it's all about a broken signalbox. James is very annoyed by the Spiteful Brakevan. Henry says the twins did well in the snow. All the engines agreed that it's not fair.
:Firstly, the section to which you're referring is in fact The Deputation.
:And the reason... Because they are just plain superfluous. As it is, there are three paragraphs / 10 lines / 228 words of text before even getting to the episode notes. The detail above doesn't need to be gone into, to make the section longer still. The sentence "Gordon, Henry, James and Percy are equally upset, and try to think of something to help the Scottish twins" will suffice.
:Check out WP:THOMAS for further reasoning behind this.

message: Some anonymous IP keeps adding unencyclopedic rubbish to the episode description for Edward's Exploit.  I'm getting bloody tired of reverting the same thing over and over again.  This article should be protected, so as to keep annoying IP addresses away from the Edit window. SpinyMcSpleen (talk) 02:19, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edward's Exploit 

message: Removed needless, speculative (and disrespectful) "But they will be, due to Carlin's death" comment in regards to the S2 episodes that were not narrated by Ringo Starr for U.S. audiences. Not sourced, nor are U.S. narrations of these episodes even likely to exist (and if they do, I'd like to see the proof of that).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.248.6 (talk) 04:02, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Speculation 

message: There's a rumor that's been flying around for a while, that a copy of The Eight Famous Engines belonging to (maybe) David Mitton popped up on ebay, and it had handwritten notes on a few of the stories, including "Gordon Goes Foreign." Apparently the notes mentioned the possibility of basing The Foreign Engine on either Henry or one of the Scottish twins, but it looked like an idea that was dropped early becasue it was limited to the first few pages. Does anyone have a reliable source on this? Starkiller (talk) 17:17, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Per WP:TRIVIA lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. I moved almost all the trivial information to relevant sections. If you don't agree, start discussion on WT:TRIVIA and explain why Wikipedia should have trivia sections. But please don't revert it in this article without discussion and consensus. --Muhandes (talk) 20:25, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia 

message: Somebody made it a point to mention that Ringo Starr redubbed this season "for both UK and US audiences."
Ringo Starr was the first narrator for this season, it's very hard to redub what hasn't been dubbed before. Thomas is European, the initial dub is the UK dub, which he re-narrated for Shining Time Station, the American release for Thomas. You see; you can't "re"anything if it hasn't been done before; that would require whatever was redone to have already been in existence to mankind.
After he left, a Narrator for each region redubbed this season, and the one before.
Somebody else mentioned promotional stills. I'd hate to screw up whatever Thomas fans found out, but how exactly do you know for sure that five stills was the amount that was released? Unless it was mentioned in another interview. I've seen stills from that episode on DVDs and etc in other releases for other regions, i.e., Japan, and I don't know if that was one of the five.

thread_title:  Variations in Edits, i.e.: "minor edit war" 

message: It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.
To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.
To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.
Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
