[edit] merge with The O.C. episode plotlines

Okay, so - there are two episode list articles for this series, Episodes of The O.C. and O.C. Episodes. This article has more information, so any extra stuff in the other one needs to be copied across, and then "O.C. Episodes" needs to be deleted. I have no knowledge of this programme so i cant really do it myself. I think this one then needs to be renamed to "List of The O.C. episodes" as its a more conventional name for episode lists (which i cant do because theres already a redirect page there). -- jeffthejiff (talk) 15:04, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

I realise people are spending a lot of time on this page; it's good work. I don't want to interupt and mess up your work. However, is there any way someone could put per-series episode numbers in here? It would probably be more useful than the overall episode number in most cases. For example; "s03e17" as well as "68".--CalPaterson 21:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Cal on the S(season)E(episode #) idea. I also think that we should create a suitable template and start making episode articles.--Rikkyc 03:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I have added the merge tag to The O.C. episode plotlines and after a few days, if I have no arguments, I will just use the content from this article and redirect that one to this. Masterpjz9 00:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

The O.C. episode plotlines has been merged with this one and redirected here. There was no info from the other page that I found would be useful here. Masterpjz9 12:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Season 3

Anyone know when/what the last epsiode is ? --DragonWR12LB 04:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you should read the article? The final episode is on May 18. Also, Wikipedians don't like people discussing an article's subject on its Talk Page. The Talk Page is only for discussing the article itself. --Fozi999 15:15, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I did read the article also what the hell is the point of even having an article if you don't discuss the issue? --DragonWR12LB 02:54, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Season 4

Should season 4 episodes start being included in the list? Seeing as they haven't aired and rumours still surround the plot, possibly making the episode summaries lack factual accuracy -- Ryan2807 18:02 14 August 2006 (UTC)

The current text doesnt really spoil anything and is sourced from a reliable source. It also does not reveal much. It has been okay in other Lists.. so it should be o.k here. Matthew Fenton (Talk | Contribs) 18:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I still don't think season 4 episodes should be added yet. Iorek85 made a good point on the talk page of the main O.C. article by stating that the source of the season 4 spoilers isn't even appropriate for Wikipedia and that verifiable facts and viewpoints should be presented, not unconfirmed rumours, and especially not as fact. Furthermore, stressing the fact that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Therefore I think the season 4 episodes should be removed from this article for now, until the season 4 episodes have aired, only then when all the facts be known. -- Ryan2807 13:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

What was the reliable source? FOX is a reliable source, but none of the fansites or spoiler sites are. The titles for the eps are fine, they seemed to be accurate enough last season, but the details are just rumour, unless, as the template says, they came from interviews or preview clips. (Even then, it's kinda murky; This is Wikipedia, afterall, not TV.com... Iorek85 23:37, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Individual Episode Pages

Everyone of the episode pages needs work. There are no cites, extended plots, and information that is best left out all together. Whoever is monitoring this page and those pages should read this Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Television episodes. This is the policy created to establish guidelines for episode pages. If you do not have well referenced material try developing Seasonal pages until you do. Bignole 12:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] To do..

We need to convert all episode images to wide-screen. We should consider converting to {{Episode list}} and getting all episode summaries down to 2 lines maximum.. keeping longer synopses to the individual pages. Matthew Fenton (talk • contribs) 16:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

What's the best way of converting all the images to wide-screen? I've got ALL the episodes on DVD, so I can do it, but I need to know how big the wide-screen images should be and how I should add them to the article (should I just replace the existing images?) Jayden54 16:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

If you have them on DVD that's great - the best way is to upload a new version over the present (click the image and scroll to the bottom) - Generally when getting images I resize to 66.77% of the original (thats around the size of most of these/the season 4 ones) - ones that need doing are: Image:OC-101.jpg, Image:OC-103.jpg, Image:OC-112a.JPG, Image:OC-111.jpg, Image:OC-210.jpg, Image:OC-215.jpg, Image:OC-223.jpg, Image:OC-304.jpg, Image:OC-305.jpg, Image:OC-307.jpg, Image:OC-309.JPG, Image:OC-310.JPG - All the others should be a'okay - When all synopsises are trimmed down and the tables are converted it should start looking pretty good :) - Hoepfully ill be able to do some work converting them soon. Matthew Fenton (talk • contribs) 17:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I've just uploaded a new version of Image:OC-210.jpg, let me if that's what you want, and I'll do the others, except for season 1, because I don't have the wide-screen version of that (only the regular 720x480 version). Jayden54 15:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

That looks awesome :-) Matthew Fenton (talk • contribs) 15:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
