[edit] Final Season
Supposedly the 15th season is going to be the final season of The Red Green Show. Perhaps this could be added to the article somehow? Torin Darkflight 06:59, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Done. -- user:zanimum
I took out the reference to March 17th.. according to cbc.ca (as well as the guide on my TV) the episode Rain Man is on then, and according to the ep guide on the offical Red Green site it is ep #297, with the last episode being 300. Priester 05:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Character descriptions
Since the character descriptions "come from the Red Green DVDs", they are clearly in copyright violation. Has permission been granted to put them here? If not, they need to go. Rhindle The Red 13:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Character section tags
I have tagged the character section for having several problems, the worst of which is the obvious copyright violation of almost the entire section being directly copied from a copyrighted source (I assume, it would be truly bizarre if it wasn't copyrighted). A side-effect of this is that section having an extremely informal tone, also a problem. Additionally, a huge size of that section is cumbersome and makes the page significantly longer than it needs to be. I propose rewriting and moving at least part (if not all) of the section to a page entitled "Minor characters on The Red Green Show" or "List of minor characters on The Red Green Show" or "List of characters on The Red Green Show". If Split so the new page only includes minor characters, I suggest the following should be moved to it:
- Buzz Sherwood
- Bob Stuyvesant
- Glen Brackston
- Dougie Franklin (Perhaps the page for Dougie Franklin should be deleted if this new page is created?)
- Ben Franklin
- Hap Shaughnessy (possibly)
- Kevin Black
- Arnie Dogan
- Dwight Cardiff
- Adventurer Walter
- Bonnie
- All the unseen characters

- Absolutely seconded. As it stands right now, this has to be one of the worst-written articles I've ever seen. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 07:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

- I moved the minor/secondary/unseen/guest characters to the new article you suggested. (A few more people got moved than the ones you suggested, btw.) Aside from a bit of reformatting, I haven't so far changed any other content. The debatable "secondaries" that might end up getting moved back here are Ranger Gord, Hap Shaughnessy and Edgar Montrose - they almost never appear in the main story segments, but they have been a part of the show for a long time and do frequently appear on the show. They're in a bit of a grey area as far as I'm concerned. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 04:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

- Okay, moved those three and Ed Frid back to the main article as Secondary characters. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 05:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

- It looks quite good! I suppose the next step would be to rewrite, um, everything. I'm not sure if I'll have time to help with that, but if I do have spare time I'll put some work in on this (I'm an avid fan of the show). --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 12:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks! So am I - my wife got me into it. :) I've got a head start - so far took care of Red and Harold. :) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 20:53, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Progress update: All main characters have been revised and the tags removed. I moved the tone/copyright/in-progress tags to the Secondary Characters section. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 01:03, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Took care of the Secondary characters today. All done! Please feel free to edit - these are just rough drafts. In the meantime, all the Minor characters on The Red Green Show need to be similarly edited. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 21:48, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Red Green Wiki
This is slightly off-topic, but I have been giving some thought to starting up a new wiki site for The Red Green Show, similar in scope to the Runner Wiki. I'm curious to know if such a project would be welcomed and could be linked from Wikipedia. I'm not suggesting that this wiki would/should become a source for Wikipedia or what not, but it may very well help the quality of this article since there's a whole body of information about the show that fans would find interesting, but is not suitable for WP. Opinions? — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:18, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
