No, it's vandalism and wasn't in the show I'm editing and removing. SirGrant 17:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Some of today's edits sound like a joke. Can someone confirm any of it was really on the show? Art LaPella 06:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

I took off four artists from the "Episode name is based off the song by" part because they were not 80s references:

1. Celine Dion from "The Power of Love" because her cover of Jennifer Rush's song was made in 1995.

2. Destiny's Child from Mini "Hey Ladies" because they weren't even a group in the 80s

3. Alanis Morissette from "King of Pain" and replaced it with The Police becuase she covered it in her 1998 MTV Unplugged

4. Whitesnake from "Queen of Hearts" because their song with that title was released in the late 70's.

Actually, Huey Lewis & The News had a hit in the 80's with a song called "The Power of Love," The Beastie Boys had a minor hit with a song called "Hey Ladies" in 1989 and Juice Newton had a hit song called "Queen of Hearts" in the early 1980's. So, whomever listed Celine Dion, Destiny's Child and Whitesnake songs as the inspiration for Degrassi titles was probably mistaken. -- Gerkinstock 03:12, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok if someone has better references based off 80's songs then I say go ahead and replace them, but keep in mind I think some songs really are based off 90's songs so that not all episodes HAVE to be 80's references SirGrant 18:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Does anyone know where the episode title "Going Down The Road" come from????

I checked in both Doc Watson and The Greateful Dead's bios and none of them released a saong named that in the 80's. This other group The Barra MacNeils released a song named exactly that, but in the 90's. Then I read that there's Canadian movie named that, but it was released in the 70's. If anyone knows anything about this episode, please help.

• Who said everything was named after an 80's song? The introduction says exactly that. Royboycrashfan 20:24, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed MOST songs do come from the 80's but not all. But since the majority do I think it's semi safe to assume that if there are two groups that did it, one in the 80's and one in the 90's or even 2000 it's safer to assume the episode is referencing the 80's song.

[edit] Behind the Scenes show & Degrassi Unscripted

Should these be included here or not? -- Gerkinstock 01:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

• Degrassi Unscripted: Turn it into an article and include information about the specific episodes.
• Behind the Scenes: Unencyclopedic. WP:NOT. Royboycrashfan 20:17, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode Descriptions

To all editors this was removed from the introductions but should still be kept in mind. "NOTE: This page has been deleted once before due to copyrighted information being posted directly from another site. If you add episode details, please do not copy from any other site, or risk losing your work. Contents" SirGrant 22:32, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Edit: April 19, 2006 -- I edited Season 1's episode description for "Jagged Little Pill." The title of the episode is based upon the album name by Alanis Morissette; it is not a song title. This should be changed in the introduction as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.60.36.204 (talk • contribs).

• Done. Also, for future reference, you may also edit pages on here. You don't need to ask someone else to edit something for you (unless it's a protected page). Royboycrashfan 18:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding links to songs

I know it may sound like too much work or irrelevant, but do you guys think we should link the titles of the episodes to the articles of the songs they were named after (when possible, of course)? That way, anyone who wishes to learn more about these songs and maybe try to figure out why they were chosen for the episode's title will not have to look through all of Wikipedia for them. Tell me if you think that's appropriate because I'm kind of new at this and don't know if that may be unencyclopedic. --Andresg770 15:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture Use

Can we use the pictures on here on other pages, like on actor or character articles? I am not sure about the copyright... Brainboy109 Oct 4th, 2006 11:47 am (UTC)

I don't see why not...--CyberGhostface 20:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Well I just don't understand the copyright, like it says those photos are used to promote the show, so putting it in actor's article wouldn't be promoting the show...I don't really know anything about the rules on photo use --Brainboy109 Oct 5th 2006 16:00 (UTC)

[edit] Here Comes Your Man

According to the iTunes Music Store and The N's website (http://www.the-n.com/ntv/shows/episodes.php?id=67), the sixth season premiere was not two parts. It has been mistaken for this because it was as long as two episodes. Because of this, one screenshot needs to go; and the summarries need to be merged. I haven't made the edit myself because I didn't upload the separate screenshots, and there should be consensus on which will stay. —Cliff smith 02:19, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't You Want Me

The 6th season finale has also been set-up as the series finale. In other words, there are two different versions/endings to that episode (s). According to Cassie Steele, Christina Schmidt, Mastrionni and Stacy Mystsyn all return as well as 3 Degrassi: TOS alumni mostly likely Yick, Stephanie and BLT.

[edit] Season Six Episode Descriptions

About half of them appear to be fake since they detail what would be important plot developments and are written in poor grammar. mochi 12:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I went back through the history, and it appears that the anon user's IP has been logged several times as spamming and "vandalizing" other wiki entires. I'm not sure what to do about this, or how to go about reverting the edits, so I'll leave it to someone more capable. mochi 12:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Moichi, shut up. They are not fake. Just compare them to the ones for season 6 at TV.COM. JT does in fact die.74.195.3.11 23:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

TV.com isn't an official source. It has had blatantly false information in the past, like one time with an episode titled "JT and Manny in love". As such, I'm going to remove it until A.) it airs in Canada (if it has already, I apologize) or B.) a notable source has it.--CyberGhostface 02:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

CTV is behind The N this season because the season start was delayed until November 28th. They are however airing two episodes a week and will be caught up with The N the week of December 18th. More to the point of this discussion, TV.com summaries can be edited by anyone with an account (which is no harder to get than a Wikipedia account). Until someone comes up with incontrovertible proof, I think we should get rid of the summaries in question.JimboMaloi 23:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I tried removing them before but some anon user reverted my edits. Could you remove them again?--CyberGhostface 00:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. JimboMaloi 04:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Bullshit. TV.com is always reliable.18:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

First off, I would recommend WP:CIV, but it looks like several people already have. Also I regret to inform you that you are completely wrong. More importantly, anyone who meets the level 2 requirement on TV.com can alter episode summaries, and they are examined under far less scrutiny than articles on Wikipedia. Please stop your vulgarities. JimboMaloi 19:36, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
