Where is the information regarding future episode titles and summaries coming from? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matthew Massey (talk • contribs) .

The information was added by various Users. This list was originally included in the Dexter (TV series) article, but I moved it to this list page. Looking at the edit history of Dexter (TV series), the list began with an edit on October 2, 2006 by 209.120.170.189. You can view tthe history by clicking here.

Come on people, sign your remarks, and try to be a little bit more helpfull. I think Matthew knew how to search the history. don't know the source of the title's myself. But I think if they are wrong that they will be changed later. --Soyweiser 20:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Synopsis

All of the synopsis with the exception of "Seeing Red" were copied word for word from http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/episodes.do - I have removed them. Mrfridays 21:25, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. Sort of. The descriptions you pulled were not ALL posted verbatum. I should know, just look at my contributions to this page. Besides, I would like to note that other TV series share the same practice. By all means, investigate it yourself. I have reverted your edit for the time being, and urge you to take a moment to reword whatever portions of this page you may feel need to be. Thanks in advance.

I went ahead and removed the 3 or 4 that were still verbatim copies and replaced them with original material. I also edited down some of the other ones that read more like recaps than synopsis. Mrfridays 19:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The current (much shorter) synopses are far better - the old ones gave away far too much information without Spoiler warnings. Thanks for trimming them to reasonable length. MattHucke^(t) 22:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Go Mrfridays! Should we reitterate the long synopses into the articles? Somnabot 00:33, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshots

The supplied screenshots don't really say anything about an episode - mostly they just show Dexter. They should show an essential scene if possible. Wikidicted 23:16, 28 December 2006

Feel free to make adjustments... Just to prevent a messy cleanup, let me suggest that you upload your new pictures to the current picture locations. Somnabot 21:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lead paragraph

Why was the lead paragraph deleted and considered to be redundant? Most pages which contain links to episode articles all contain a lead (or opening) paragraph. In fact, you need a lead in order to be considered for a fair use candidate. I just don't believe it should have been deleted. Sfufan2005 21:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The information was already covered on the lead-in page. Ask Mrfridays for more details--he was the one who made the edit. Somnabot 18:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I think it's pretty self-explanatory. The information that is on the main page was repeated here. This is not necessary. The lead-in page should have that information, not this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mrfridays (talk • contribs) 17:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC).
