[edit] Categorisation work

Hi. I've done some refactoring work on your Project's categories and templates today (along with several other WikiProjects). I'm confident you'll find that the new organisation a big improvement. For more information and a rationale please see what I've written at Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best_practices#Categorisation or drop me a line on my talk page.

If you're not yet assessing articles for Wikipedia 1.0 and using Mathbot, you might also find Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Index of subjects and it's talk page very useful. --kingboyk 17:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

Have a shufti at the template I just created! Feel free to mess around with it. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 06:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Blackadder
Blackadders Other Characters The Series

In chronological order

The Black Adder

Blackadder II

Blackadder the Third

Blackadder Goes Forth

In chronological order

I changed the template to this (above), didn't really change much though, just the title wording

[edit] A Cunning Plan

This project is so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel. Happy to be part of it. If no one else is on it, I'll do the infobox for us tonight. --Bookgrrl 17:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode List

Hey guys, this is my first real contribution to wiki so just running some ideas before i start making articles and what not. I'm intererested in having a crack at the episode lists and am just wondering what sort of naming convention you guys think we should use. I was thinking a summary page, say "List of Blackadded Episodes by Season" and then individual pages fore ach episode using naming convention "Episode name (Blackadder)"--frendy 06:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Following from this, I got bored at work so knocked this together. What you guys think? Still need to know what page to copy it to.. --frendy 08:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Excellent!! My only suggestions would be to (a) de-link the dates as that doesn't add anything to someone's understanding of Blackadder (see Wikipedia's link guidelines) and (b) make the background black and the text white (I did it on one, take a look). --Bookgrrl 11:54, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, the black and white does look a lot better, and is more fitting with the theme... Pinkadder just doesn't sound as good does it. Good call on the date-linking, makes sense to link every single item on the page :) Will make those few changes and flesh out the rest of the page tonite. Still need to know what to call the article though. and what the episode article naming scheme will look like (see below). --frendy 00:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm, just found this. Shall we just use this one since it's already up. Looks OK to me, perhaps just tweak it slightly. I'm not sure if I like having screenshots from episodes on their as I don't believe they actually help at all, a single random screenshot with no context doesn't really compliment the article much. Other than that though the page does fairly well follow the conventions that most other episode lists use. If we do use this we just need to create episode articles and start linking. --frendy 02:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


Suggest moving future discussion of this to Talk:List_of_Blackadder_episodes --frendy 06:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode naming

something like: Blackadder_II_Episode_name_in_full

seems logical to me...

I bought the blackadder DVD set (all series) a few weeks back, I recently watched all episodes...

Ill go and make some articles after I've drunk a couple of liters of coffee, and maybe even slept...

The way I've got it in the episode list currently is "Episode_Name_(blackadder)" which is the way a lot of other series do it. Do we want to show the actual seasons as well? If so then theres the question of what to do with things like "blackadder back and forth"
I've got all the episodes at home as well as the blackadder book, so I'm happy to have a crack at a few articles as well. Do people want nominate which episodes thye want to do or something? Perhaps we could indicate in the comments section of the episoades list whos doing which one? --frendy 00:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Based on this we should just have the episode names (eg. "The Queen of Spain's Beard") and then if they are ambiguous have Episode Name (Blackadder) (eg. "Bells (Blackadder)"). Personally I think it makes more sense to have it consistent throughout, so just puut (blackadder) on the end of each title, but I'm assuming we want to follow the standard naming conventions? Also, for season 4 we should use the full titles (ie "Plan A: Captain Cook") or we could leave off the Plan X: part and just hace "Captain Cook", which would again lead to ambiguity. Thoughts? --frendy 02:36, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article sections

What do we think about the sections that should be included in each article? I'm thinking:

  • summary
  • what we learn about the characters (e.g., "Ape creatures of the Indus are better at mathematics than Baldrick"
  • guest stars/guest characters (e.g. the Duke of Wellington, the stupid actors)
  • trivia

Also, for the first episode of each season, I suggest the first section be "historical setting" with a brief (1 para) explanation of the time period in which the season (or special) is set, e.g. "'Blackadder Goes Forth' is set during the first World War and gives a glorious send-up of everything from army food to vaudeville to carrier pigeons to the "honest Tommy's" real opinion of King and Country..."

Thoughts?

An infobox would be nice if someone wants to knock one up? I'm happy to have a go at it, will prolly just copy one from a different series again and modify it, but if someone else wants to then go ahead.
Do we want to put it in the article for the first episode, or create a seperate overview page, or put it on the episode list page? I'm just thinking that because it applies to the whole season it might be better to not put it in with a particular episode. --frendy 00:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Television_episodes#Format --frendy 02:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

As for the structure of the episode articles, what about following the Fawlty Towers model and including the following:

  1. Synopsis
  2. Cast
  3. Plot
  4. Trivia (this could include the "what we learn about the characters" stuff, like the ape creatures of the Indus bit)

Thoughts? --Bookgrrl 04:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

No consensus on what the structure of the episode articles should be yet...I'm thinking as a first step, I'll pull the series information out of the main Blackadder article (which is waaaay too long) and put it into four separate articles named by the first episode of that season; so for example the section Blackadder#Series_1:_The_Black_Adder will go into an article entitled The Foretelling (blackadder). Any objections to this? -- Bookgrrl 02:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox for Episodes

{{Infobox Blackadder episode}} Copy-pasted from the red dwarf/futurama ones so will still need a few changes. I've created series lists for each of the 4 main seasons so they work as well, need to decide what to do with the non-series specials, ie 'back and forth' etc. Will probably need to adjust the items slightly, let me know of any extra fields that are required. You can see this in action here. --frendy 05:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Whoops, I was working on one as well. Yours is quite a bit more sophisticated in the coding than mine :) Take a look here -- maybe we can combine some of the features? I'm really fond of the white-on-black, because after all he is the Black Adder. --Bookgrrl 01:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Personally I would vote for not listing all episodes in a season in the infobox, but rather "Next" and "Previous" ... --Bookgrrl 15:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I personally like Bookgrrl's, it's black!, but a few minor issues, prehaps change The Black Adder to Blackadder episode and maybe add a screen from that episode to the picture box (The Bread 04:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC))

Do we have a consensus on this yet as to what template we're using? I'd like to get it set up so we can start formatting the episode articles... --Bookgrrl 02:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, I made a few changes -- altered the background color on the top and bottom to match the character infobox and added Next/Previous link capability (this replaces the longer "list of episodes" that was there). So I think we're ready to go on the episode articles...any takers?? --Bookgrrl 03:34, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

The previous and next links don't seem to be working (The Bread 05:47, 9 September 2006 (UTC))

They work on the pages I've checked...which ones aren't working? Bookgrrl 23:36, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sidebar

Ok, I've created a sidebar that will give us some idea as to what we have to do to get this Project fully operational. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 00:54, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prince Edmund page

I'm thinking that the bulk of this should be distributed among the various episode articles (which we're going to be writing...), leaving only a brief outline similar to that for the other characters similar to Lord Percy Percy or King Richard IV of England... --Bookgrrl 02:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

What about others like Flashheart, who only appear in a couple of episodes? (The Bread 05:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC))

I think he deserves his own character article. Because he plays the same character in both seasons (he's Lord Flashheart in one and Squadron Commander the Lord Flashheart in the other), they could be combined into a single article so as not to have two very small articles. --Bookgrrl 15:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Great

(The Bread 01:50, 20 August 2006 (UTC))


[edit] Character Page structure

I'm gonna sugest a we use a structure similar to the one used in the Prison Break character articles eg something like this

  • Backround (Character)
  • Character Development
    • The Black Adder
    • Blackadder II
    • Blackadder the Third
    • Blackadder goes Forth
    • Christmas Carol
    • Back and Fourth
  • References

You wou only include the seasons in which they appear but i think this structure would be easy and effective to use, any thoughts?

I'm gonna redo Lord Flashheart in this fasion first so people can get a good idea of what it would look like

Sounds good -- do we need an infobox for characters, do you think? Or will it be simpler to do without? --Bookgrrl 04:17, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I reckon we do I've slapped together a basic one using the same sort of format as the Prison Break one (once again), here it is (The Bread 05:16, 20 August 2006 (UTC))

Looks good. Is first app/last app to be within a single series or across all series (e.g. first app: ep3 seas2, last app: ep4 seas3)? And how do we handle first app/last app for characters that come and go? --Bookgrrl 13:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and how about including a "Quotes" section at the end, just before references, so we can get in things like "I have a very cunning plan" and "..or did I just put a canoe in my pocket? WOOF!" --Bookgrrl 13:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
  1. The first appearence last appearence things would be across the whole series e.g. Edmund Blackadder, first appearence Pilot, last appearence Goodbyeee... like that
  2. Characters that come and go (like Flashheart, again) would be first appearence Bells Last appearence Private Plane; episode count 2
  3. Quotes section for episodes is also a good idea
  4. All that aside prehaps we should merge all the Blackadders together (Like the Baldrick article), although i'm not a big fan of merging i think from there we could get a really good Blackadder article out of there (We could call it Edmund Blackadder, or prehaps Blackadder (character))

(The Bread 03:51, 21 August 2006 (UTC))

I'm gonna create the box and test it out on the Lord Flashheart page to see how it fits

(The Bread 04:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Character infobox

Right i've gone and done it here it is, it is currently only in action on the Lord Flashheart page if you want to see it fully used, the instructions for using it are under the talk section of {{Blackadder character}}

Blackadder character
{{{name}}}
Nationality {{{nationality}}}
Occupation(s) {{{occupation}}}
First appearance {{{first appearance}}}
Last appearance {{{last appearance}}}
Episode count {{{episode count}}}
Played by {{{played by}}}
Nice! I like it. --Bookgrrl 12:26, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Cheers

(The Bread 03:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Blackadders

I think it may be a good idea to merge all the Blackadders together (like the Baldricks). You would end up with a really good article that way, i'm no way near doing it myself but i'd like some thoughts on the subject

(The Bread 05:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC))

I think that might be a good idea, although in the case of the massive Prince Edmund article it might be a good idea to have a "main article" link. I might have a go at this tonight, if you like. Bob talk 19:17, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm cool with you doing it, the Prince Edmund page could be shortened a bit, why don't we leave that one out for now and do the rest, then we can asses the Prince page on its own later

(The Bread 04:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Nursie article formatted

The Nursie article is now formatted per our article layout and infobox (thanks, Bread!) --Bookgrrl 02:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, as of 29th August, the following articles are formatted

I think we should leave the Blackadder pages until the merge decision is decided apon, but top priority at the moment should be Baldrick, Percy, so I'm wondering which image we should use for those characters, i suggest the most recnet one (eg Pt. Baldrick for Baldrick) but it may be a good idea to use the Back and Forth character images, any thoughts

(The Bread 04:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC))

Hmm, good question since there are several incarnations of the character... I vote you choose whichever one you like best -- then if you're feeling ambitious you can include the others in the body of the article someplace. How 'bout that? --Bookgrrl 02:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Great

(The Bread 03:06, 9 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] George

I think i might merge Price George and Lt. George (like Lord Percy Percy) into one article called George (Blackadder character). Anyone oppose this? (The Bread 02:29, 26 August 2006 (UTC))

I'm OK with it -- if it turns out too long we can always split it up again... --Bookgrrl 16:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Exactly, I've gone and done it...it's looking pretty good acutally

(The Bread 01:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Mrs. Miggins and King Richard IV

I'll sign up to do Mrs. Miggins and King Richard IV. Should be able to get to it in the next couple of days. --Bookgrrl 02:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Alrighty; In that case I'll take Melchett

(The Bread 08:39, 9 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Season 3 episode articles done

All season three episode articles are done, see here where I have removed the episode info, leaving only the generic season info and a simple list. Somebody else feel free to tackle the remaining two seasons, I'm beat!! --Bookgrrl 18:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll take 4, I think Goodbyeee already has one though (The Bread 04:15, 10 September 2006 (UTC))

Are you using the same article structure I used for season 3? If not we should settle on what the structure's going to be so they can be consistent... --Bookgrrl 23:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah probably, I can't see any problems with your format, I'll do it on 23rd September as part of my 1000 Edit Programme

†he Bread 03:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I've done season 4 according to your format, I've also added a "see also" link to List of Blackadder episodes to every article, but I have been thinking, should we link the last episode of one season to the first episode of the next season (via the next part of the infobox) e.g. The Black Seal → Bells, Chains → Dish and Dishonesty, and Duel and Duelality(sp?) → Captain Cook?

†he Bread 01:37, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Mm. Yeah, I like that idea. Maybe make the visible part say "Next season" or "Season X" rather than an episode name, so it's clear they're going to the next season? --Bookgrrl 01:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Sweet as, it's a good idea to put Season X rather than the next episode, do you want to do it or should I

[edit] A message from the founder

I'm currently more occupied with WikiProject Dad's Army at moment. So, therefore I have decided to give control of the project to Thefourdotelipsis as he has done a lot for this project so far, and I hope will continue to help out this project in the future. However, i'm not quitting the role as project founder and controller, if you like I am doing what Bill Gates did a few months back. Thankyou --Mollsmolyneux 19:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Goodbyeeee

†he Bread 01:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Season 1 Done

As above, we've completed our first goal, full credit to Frendy for creating the season 2 articles and Bookgrrl for creating the infobox and season 3

†he Bread 02:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Importance (sp?)

I'm going to try and rate all the article on their importance (sp?) to the project, some are easy while some are harder to do, here's the ones I think will be difficult to rate and would like some feedback on

  • Episode articles
  • Baldrick
  • Bob (Kate)
  • Lord Flashheart

Personally I think Baldrick should be either "Top" or "High" while all the episode articles be "Mid" and Flashheart and Bob be "Low" but, y'know, I've got a feeling that I may have gone wrong

[edit] Project Directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:

  • User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
  • User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
  • User:Badbilltucker/Science directory

and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 21:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now put the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 00:38, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Black Adder episode titles especially season one

I have copied the following discussion here from the list of Blackadder talk page so that those of you who are overseeing the project will be able to help assist user Sambda in straightening out the confusion over the order of season one's episodes. Although there haven't been any direct requests for the info the user hasn't explained where they live or when and how how the tapes were made. As I am not a member of the project and as I live in the US I don't know that I can be of any more assistance than I already have in getting this info right on the relevnt page so I am hoping that you all can be a part of straightening this situation out. Thanks for taking such good care of The BlackAdder here at wikipedia. MarnetteD | Talk 23:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


Does anybody know why in series 1, episode 2 Born to be King has the number 4 over the top of the episode title, and episode two The Queen of Spain's Beard has 2? Presumably they were originally intended to be in this order, but that seems somewhat unlikely. Bob Castle 23:45, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Just wondering which release of the series you have seen this on (TV, VHS or DVD?) - I don't seem to have the same version as you, since my old tapes have "2" above "Born to be King" and "4" above "The Queen of Spain's Beard"--Lox (t,c) 19:38, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I've just bought a 5 DVD special box sold at Spain and also the Born to be king has a number 4 over it on the on-screen caption. --81.36.250.193 08:15, 1 July 2006 (UTC) (ca:entfe001)
Some of the confusion over this may come from the order in which they were filmed as opposed to the order in which they were aired. I know that in the US this series was originally shown on the A&E network with The Queen of Spain's Beard shown as Ep 2 and Born to be King as Ep4. and the numbers on the eps also matched this. But, as the table shows the original UK showing was the reverse of this. When the series moved to PBS here in the US they were shown in the UK airing order and the opening credits numbering was changed to match this. This was apparent as they were shown in a black or white circle which covered up what they had been previously been (the other four episodes numbers don't have this circle). As they episodes were released in the VHS, and later DVD, formats it would depend on the version transferred as to which set of numbers were used. This is all somewhat confusiing but the US has a history of airing programs in their production number order and not their story (or UK airing) order. I have seen episodes of Doctor Who and Eastenders (try watching a soap opera where things that happen in this weeks eps come before things you saw last week or the week before!) shown totally out of order in my time. One last note A&E also showed Head before Bells.MarnetteD | Talk 15:33, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
The episode list is wrong. I have the first 5 episodes taped from the original screenings. "...Spain's Beard" was transmitted second, "...King" was fourth.Sambda 23:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Did you tape them in the US? As I stated above the arder that they showed them over here us different than the order that they showed themn in the UK. The order that is on the main page is the order that they showed them in the UK as that is where they were broadcast first. There are several websites that back up this airing order. MarnetteD | Talk 00:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

You are incorrect. I still have the original tape of the first 5 episodes as originally aired in UK in 1983. Most web-sites have it wrong (probably because they all just copied each other!) - and "several websites back up..." is not good enough for Wiki, I'm afraid. The "Cunning" book has it right - a far more official source.Sambda 14:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
The first question is what are you playing these tapes on (and are they beta?) as the machines used in 1983 and their parts are long gone from most places. But, all of that aside, if what you are saying is correct my suggestion is that you click on the link above that will take you to the wikiproject Blackadder and present your evidence (they are good people who like taking care of these pages). I am afraid that you will find that google searches of other websites IS what wikiP relies on. I have resolved some misinformation on shows and films by going to my local library and digging into the microfilm files of my cities newspapers and that may be your best bet, in that, if you can find the listing in the 'Radio Times' from 1983 for the episodes in question that will clinch it one way or the other. Good luck and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 17:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I am playing the tape on a VHS machine. The machines used in 1983 may indeed be gone, but a modern VHS deck will play the tapes just as well!?! The only difference is that, back then, there was no hi-fi sound - only the linear edge track. Also, probably the LP speed may not have been in the specs back then (can't remember). I will grab the opening to the second ep and post it somewhere (the numbering on the opening is also different - if you look at the copies on home-video/DVD you can see where they fixed it later on!), and then it's up to you lot whether you want to perpetuate the right or wrong info. I really can't be bothered with all the library stuff! Sambda 22:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually the library stuff is going to be the only thing that will confirm things. If you read the postings in this category we are already aware of the differences in the opening titles with the 2 and 4 looking dofferent in various releases of the episodes from all of the others. Unless your VHS tapes are date stamped with the relevant 1983 days there is no way of knowing when they were taped. Please don't get me wrong I am not doubting you but even the BBC's website lists them in the order that is presently on the episode listing page. I am also transfering this discussion to the wikiproject Blackadder page so they can help you in your attempts to clear this up. MarnetteD | Talk 23:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prince Edmund (Blackadder) article split.

I've just split the article up (episode descriptions to the relevant pages). Perhaps small reviews of each episode could still be included? In which case the former contents of the episode-pages (which I've renamed to 'Introduction' on each page) could be cut & pasted over? .... Lots of ways this could be carried forward, of course.

[edit] General Melchett

"Melchett refers to work as "disgusting" in one episode" (from Melchett).

Does this refer to the quote, "now job is a positively disgusting word"? If so I am pretty sure the word is not being used in the sense of "occupation". Just a minor query, though. Andrewwyld 02:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Lol, it probably does refer to that scene. I think the writer of the section has missed the lavatorial humour of the quote. Thus, it should probably be removed as a misinterpretation - good "job". Bob talk 17:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I dunno, Melchett doesn't seem very interested in work, either, so it could go either way :) --Bookgrrl holler/lookee here 16:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
