[edit] Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series

I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 16:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Where are the Darlin's?

How cum there are no references to the several appearances of the Dillards as the Darlin's? Mark Sublette (talk) 18:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 18:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Somebody apparently made a decision to only list recurring characters who appeared in 10 or more episodes. The Darlings are mentioned in List of The Andy Griffith Show cast members. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:57, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
According to The Darlings article, they appeared in six episodes. --rogerd (talk) 20:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay - I guess it is reasonable to establish a minimum for inclusion. Mark Sublette (talk) 21:54, 19 April 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 21:54, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
But that also disqualifies Ernest T. - Sub* Mark Sublette (talk) 21:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 21:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Third opinion(s)

  1. We were wondering if certain info in The Andy Griffith Show is appropriate, in either its original form or its current toned-down version. The discussion is here. 18:30, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Taken from WP:3O#Active disagreements - I'd prefer to answer on the article talk page rather than individual users' pages. From what I can see, information on the number or percentage of married characters would fall squarely under original research, and should not be included. The current version also appears to be non-neutral, it talks of "only 2 characters" being married, and implies this is contrary to the show's family values. A NPOV version would at least draw comparison with other shows with family values, but then this would involve even more OR. If there are interviews, articles, books, DVD commentaries that discuss the proportion of married characters and it's relevance then the information could be included. I'd also like to re-iterate that while many of the 'policies' people link to in debates are indeed guidelines, WP:OR is a policy and should as such is "considered a standard that all users should follow" Paulbrock (talk) 23:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
