hackwrench i could go either way on this the show page could serve as the page for the main character and i wouldn't have a problem with it comments on mediation added comments at mediation cabal comments from an outsider steven mccrary major restructuring major resturcturing of this article was long overdue the article was almost entirely one long long section ironically called overview i completely restructured this article to be more in line with the common wikipedia structure used for other television programs most notably the simpsons and m a s h tv series were used as examples of shows that were very popular and well organized i attempted to use logic in the categries and their order this reorganization was definitely needed but it meant a lot of the content had to be moved around but i did not remove any content yet except for correcting the episode of the danny thomas show as being the pilot it was the basis for the a new show possibly categoried as a spin off but it wasn't a pilot episode of tags i added some new content but i did not remove existing content because i figured this restructuring was such a major change that i figured to take one step at a time please note that i did not move everything all content that was not moved most of it was left where it was but the section was renamed commentary i did not want to change too much all at once much of that content is indeed commentary not strictly factual but some of it is still needs to be moved to more appropriate sections or deleted if duplicate information thanks for the hard work i wanted to work on this some time ago but because of the situation recounted above that went to the mediation cabal and the truce proposed i have been reluctant to make any changes here nice to see others are of the same mind yeah it looks a lot better just prior to its restructuring i added a bunch of stuff to fill out the article because it seemed a little light for as popular a show as it is and also simply because the sheriff andy taylor link redirects here but there was very little content about the character on this page but i didn't know where to put anything so i just kind of stuck stuff here and there i hope i didn't add any duplicate information please feel free to move it around or take it out if it isn't necessary new big problem re episodes list the list of andy griffith episodes was apparently started in october many different people have worked hard on it and it has always been the only episodes list linked to from the andy griffith show as i was revising the structure of the andy griffith show see above i noticed that the list of episodes was actually misnamed it is and has always been located at list of andy griffith show episodes please notice that the mistake is that the word the was missing from the title the name of the show is the andy griffith show noticing this i decided correct the problem by moving the article to include the word the in the title and i later planned on correcting the link on the main show's article however when i tried this i was surprised to discover that i couldn't do that because another article was already named list of the andy griffith show episodes with the the through dumb luck or bad luck i discovered that another user had started creating an list of andy griffith episode on their own under their username where nobody else knew it existed this article was started after the original and was basically hidden from others just this month the user that created the alternate episodes list moved their article to list of the andy griffith show episodes although the main show's article still doesn't point to it so there's the situation we've got two lists of episodes what to do pros and cons while staying neutral the original list is mistitled but has always been the only list linked to from the main article at the andy griffith show because it was always public more different people have worked on it the newer article is almost as old but it was hidden in a user area until just this month i will admit that the newer article looks nicer in style structure colors etc but imho i think the descriptions are better in the older public list
