[edit] WikiProject Munich

I noticed you're a good German speaker. I'm wondering if you could help out at WikiProject Munich. Maybe you could help out with the project's Translation page. If you're interested, you can sign up here. Kingjeff 04:08, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I might take a look but I don't think I got much time on my hands. I will keep an eye on it thought :-) --SoWhy Talk 09:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
No first hand knowledge is necissary. Remember no original research is allowed anyways. Maybe you could help out someway. Kingjeff 13:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NCIS Episode Template

No problem, for the most part I've been copying other episodes formatting and replacing relevant parts. Template should help quite a bit! :) --Sigz 00:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NCIS Kill Ari

I feel it should be two separate episodes (as should Hiatus) because they aired on different dates. If it was a continuous two hour episode then they could be one page, however they are different. Joining these episodes would be the same as joining any other episodes. Just because they have the same title (with a part 1 + 2) doesn't mean they belong in the same article.

[edit] References

Can you please show me the Wikipedia guideline that says already aired episodes of television shows don't need references? I would like to understand it for future reference. According to Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Television episodes it says:

Content about television episodes must conform to Wikipedia content policies, including but not limited to Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research.

Thanks. Shaundakulbara 18:09, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

If this was the case, you'd have to tag thousands of articles (of movies and television episodes alike). Articles about episodes that have aired already can be verified by everyone just by watching the episode. References are needed in those cases, where this can't be done, i.e. future episodes or trivia which needs background information. --SoWhy Talk 19:58, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

It is the case. The fact that a guideline hasn't been applied to "B" doesn't mean they shouldn't be applied to "A'. That's been said to me many times. I appreciate your frustration that you think I am meddling in an inappropriate way. I have been in your shoes, and that feeling sucks. But the guidelines do apply. The idea that articles can "be verified by everyone just by watching the episode" doesn't make the grade. Please don't remove notability tags. Shaundakulbara 20:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Shaundakulbara your interpretation of our sourcing guidelines is wrong. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 20:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
As Matthew said, I doubt you are right because that would mean everyone else was wrong for years. I understand you feel special but let me assure you that you are surely not the first to notice that thousands of articles could be wrong if WP:V is to applied the way you suggest it. If you want to tag all those articles as unverified, I'd suggest you discuss it on the appropriate talk pages first and don't start lecturing me for removing them.
WP:V clearly states: The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a reliable source, which should be cited in the article.
Ex contrarium material that does not fall into this category, i.e. simple facts like the plot of aired episodes. --SoWhy Talk 09:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sg1-s10e14-0.jpg

Hey. If you still have the episode at your disposal do you think you could upload a clearer cap? The one uploaded by the guy is a bit blurry and could probably be done better. I'd do it but I've started watching live on Sky One, cheers. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 12:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I will try to when I am back home. --SoWhy Talk 14:13, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
The version I had recorded at home is of not much better quality, I tried to polish it up using a graphics program, I hope it's better now. --SoWhy Talk 22:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Sg1-s10e13-0.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sg1-s10e13-0.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECUtalk 22:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
