Contents

[edit] Organization

I'm unfamiliar with this show, but this article seems full of repetitive language and inconsistent headings. I'd recommend some work done to improve this article's clarity.

Agreed. I do plan on attacking this article when I have a sizable amount of time to dedicate to it. I just ask for a bit of patience :) -- Huntster T@C 01:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hunster man... You removed our "incongruities section..." I hardly thought magic powers needed to be removed too... Look at the current state of the article, it features the line "Emma turned into the super dragon trainer". Not only is it misleading, its actually hilarious.

Fine, I'll rewrite this page, it certainly needs it.



Ok, I've thought about it and this article needs new headings. I'm thinking:

Plot Characters Themes Motifs Seasons : Season 1 (summary and list of episodes) Season 2 External Links

Complications needs to be removed completely. It should be included within the season summary.

Since the episode summaries have been added in, I thought the "Complications" section was no longer needed. -- Annie D 11:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

I didn't want to mark the page for speedy deletion, but the "Plot" section is a direct copy-and-paste from the copyrighted series website at http://www.jonathan-m-shiff.com.au/h2o/ -- it needs a rewrite, which I'll leave to someone more familiar with the series. -- Robster2001 00:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, this will eventually be taken care of when I have enough time to dedicate to it. -- Huntster T@C 04:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Complications

Since the episode summaries are up and sufficient to cover the series' general plot, would it be all right if the "complications" section is removed completely? It doesn't add anything to the article. -- Annie D 13:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

The summaries are just that, summaries. The complications delve into more general problems, the why and how. I agree it should be trimmed down significantly, but certainly not removed. The summaries don't say precisely what problems the moon gives, or what solutions might be available, nor do they give details about what Zane has done. If I have some time, I'll be cleaning up the article to something more reasonable. -- Huntster T@C 18:04, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bad writing

Is it just me, or is alot of this page really badly written... Must reflect on the kind of audience this show attracts... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.188.17.211 (talk • contribs) 03:04, 18 November 2007

Yes, there is a lot of bad writing, and you are correct on the second point as well. I plan on rewriting when I have some time, but I have a lot of other projects already waiting for completion. -- Huntster T@C 10:48, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

The article still needs to be more easily understood. The more younger readers will not understand words like euphemism, and pedantic. We need to give easier, more understandable words for the younger readers and the age of audience that this show attracts. XxH2Oluverxx (talk) 20:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia doesn't cater to a specific audience, though. If you want to write things in very simple terms that the target audience will more readily understand (as well as those for whom English isn't their main language), I'd suggest heading over to the Simple English Wiki at http://simple.wikipedia.org/. I think that may be exactly what you are looking for (also, we link to other wikis, from this page, so it wouldn't be as if an article on that site would be all alone). I'll be honest, I can't write that way, but folks who can are valuable to the project. Huntster (t@c) 05:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
To the anon who edited the parent paragraph (is that you, H2Oluver?), I again state that this site doesn't cater to just children or any other demographic (other than the English language). If you want very simple English, please use the Simple English Wiki, which is linked above. Huntster (t@c) 22:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Do we have non-English discussions on the English Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Val42 (talkcontribs) 12:08, 23 February 2008
While it isn't encouraged, I don't believe it is expressly forbidden; this would most appropriately go in the proper language wiki...Bulgarian correct? If such an article doesn't exist, feel free to make one! However, if this is just "I love H2O!" type stuff, get rid of it. Huntster (t@c) 11:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ocean Girl

There are no mentions of Ocean Girl, which, if I am not mistaken, was createdby thesame person for the same network.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.216.61 (talk) 18:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't see any reason why it should be mentioned. If "created by" is the standard, well, that's a lot of shows. Huntster (t@c) 06:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Created by the same person, for the same network, concepts involving female protagonists with strange water-related powers and a lot of water stuff, presumable a fair bit of underwater filming... alone maybe not criteria for a link, but all of them together? I think it merits a mention.

[edit] Filming Locations

Besides the already stated locations (which does not cover all locations, btw), shouldn't the others ne listed as well - such as the island scenes and so forth? 75.8.42.103 (talk) 03:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

That's fine, though I'd like to avoid any additions that are not sourced. Huntster (t@c) 11:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
