[edit] That page rocks!

Be An Interplanetary Spy I mean. I so felt twelve again when I looked it over. You might want to have a look at Help:Show preview about keeping it to fewer edits, though. - 152.91.9.144 06:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Sliders

Hi, I do not agree with you. Wikipedia goes by original airdates only, and if that means Sliders ended in Dec. 99 in the UK, than that's what Wikipedia needs to have. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 13:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The consensus among Wikipedians is to use the original airdate not original American airdate. This ensures factual accuracy. This is the generally accepted norm, for example Stargate SG-1 ended in the UK prior to the U.S., the UK airdates are used - even though it's an American show, and that's because the original airdates are UK. Space Precinct is a British television series, it aired in the U.S. first, hence U.S. airdates are used in its LOE. Matthew 13:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
You two do acknowledge that I left the UK air date in my edits? My other comments were just trying to head off confusion, and it's *obvious* there is confusion because people keep trying to change it back to the American air date. Your "DO NOT CHANGE" doesn't cut it; people are going to keep changing it until you explain it (which I did in my edits). That's the problem I see here; we shouldn't get so hung up on anal accuracy that we forget people actually USE this site. It's fine if a standard is decided upon, but that standard should be explained in at least some respect (especially in light of such obvious and continued public confusion on the matter).
