message: The opening shots of Kyle XY, with Kyle waking up naked in the forest, the camera spinning down on him, are shockingly close to the opening sequence of John Doe, the short-lived (one season) show cancelled by FOX starring Dominic Purcell.

text: John Doe can be seen on the SciFi Channel once in a while. I managed to see a couple of episodes during a marathon they were running. Kyle XY definitely reminds me of John Doe, but the sources of their information and reason they have it are different. Both are really good shows.

text: Because the writing (dialogue, plot, etc.) is copyright of the original writer(s). Quoting a line or two is fair use, because it's not the entire episode. In case you doubt this, try looking around online for why sites like Wikipedia won't let you include lyrics from songs that aren't in the public domain, even if the lyrics were "verbal" and then you wrote them down (by the way, "verbal" can include writing; you're thinking of aural, which is purely sound). If it is a summary, that's one thing; that's fair use, since it's your own description, even if it features a handful of quotes. It's not intended to be a full copy of the original, unlike a "transcript". Runa27 23:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

ABC Family will start reshowing Season 1 on April 2nd and plan to start Season 2 hopefully on June 4th or 11th.

message: I know why Kyle doesn't have a belly button. He was consumated (sorry about the spelling) in an artifical womb, therefor he diddn't need a umbillical cord, and the lack of an umbilical cord means, say it with me everybody, no belly button! I found this out by watching the end of Regis & Kelly, because I have that time now, and they had on the guy who plays Kyle and they showed that scene. Yeah.

message: OK. What I did to the page was give the  on the page a major overhaul, giving more details that were not there before. Also, I went and removed unnecessary blank spaces in lists, and the page overall, updated the cast lists to give specific season numbers and order them appropriately, and I went and fixed the list in the soundtrack information. Hopefully, this makes the article more concise and easier to read and manage. —TRAiNER4 (talk • contrib) 00:35, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is it relevant that the series is filmed in Vancouver? Isn't it more relevant that it is set in Seattle? How many other wikipedia entries for films or television programs feature so prominently where they are filmed, at the expense of the setting for the film or television program? I can find none. Film and television program entries include the setting for the story, and mention filming locations secondarily, if at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.200.252.2 (talk) 06:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm writing this in something of a response to the criticism of this Wikipedia article (seen here). I'd like to explain the problem we have with discussing the campaign and hopefully reach an understanding. I have no prior involvement with this article, nor am I involved with the people who reverted the earlier addition of information about the campaign. I'm just coming here having seen a report about it on a noticeboard. It's also of note that I am not a Wikipedia administrator, though even if I were what I say here would be no more binding.
Please understand that Wikipedia has some basic rules about what should be mentioned in an article. For example, there is a policy on verifiability (see WP:V) which discusses what sorts of sources are acceptable for attributing statements in Wikipedia articles (see WP:SOURCES and WP:SPS). In this case, there is no source available which meets these criteria to discuss the campaign. The closest we have are two about.com blog postings (here and here). However, blogs are generally not considered reliable sources in terms of our policies and guidelines as they do not have the editorial oversight present in more typical secondary sources (see WP:PSTS).
Even so, there's still no evidence provided that the campaign is even significant, and unless that is shown we have a problem of "undue weight" being assigned to the idea of this campaign (see WP:UNDUE). This goes along with the problem of sourcing; were the campaign significant enough to bear mention in the Wikipedia article, then it should be no problem to find sources which meet Wikipedia's reliable sourcing criteria.
I apologize if this comes off as arrogant, but Wikipedia's policies and guidelines attempt to describe what the overall Wikipedia community considers to be the procedures for article writing (see WP:PG for how our policies and guidelines work). If you disagree with this assessment, feel free to reply here or ask at WP:RSN or WP:EAR for more uninvolved opinions. I cannot stress enough that edit warring to include information will not succeed and will only result in varying degrees of protection to this and related articles, along with the revocation of editing privileges. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 23:13, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The first season was different from season 2 and 3. The last 2 seasons were soap operas (see sources below), and the Sci-Fi premises of the first season morphed into Fantasy or Magic to justify anything extraordinary Kyle would do (slowing down the speed of electrons in an electric cable, resuscitating Jessi, etc). Yet the article makes no mention of such difference between the original season and the others. As such, the article is either incomplete, or misleading.
