[edit] A Few Notes

I've made seperate sections for each episode in line with the Season 1-3 pages so that if anyone wants to edit an episode they can. Also, I can't for the life of me remember seeing Diesel in this season. Can anyone tell me in which episode he appeared and where? Otherwise, the note regarding him will have to be removed. Thanks.

The only time Diesel "appears" is in Rusty to the Rescue, and that's not a 'real' appearance of Diesel, as it's only Diesel's model, not his character, which appears. As such, no diesels (apart from Rusty) appear in this episode. Gonzerelli 06:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Character links

Please note that simply putting the character's name into square brackets (ie. "[[Thomas]]") is not sufficient, and will not link to the corect page. I've taken the time to show how to link to all characters below:

  • THOMAS: [[Thomas the Tank Engine|Thomas]]
  • EDWARD: [[Edward the Blue Engine|Edward]]
  • HENRY: [[Henry the Green Engine|Henry]]
  • GORDON: [[Gordon the Big Engine|Gordon]]
  • JAMES: [[James the Red Engine|James]]
  • PERCY: [[Percy the Small Engine|Percy]]
  • TOBY: [[Toby the Tram Engine|Toby]]
  • DUCK: [[Duck the Great Western Engine|Duck]]
  • DONALD: [[Donald and Douglas|Donald]]
  • DOUGLAS: [[Donald and Douglas|Douglas]]
  • DONALD & DOUGLAS (both): [[Donald and Douglas]]
  • EMILY: [[Emily (Thomas the Tank Engine)|Emily]]

ALL OTHER ENGINES: [[Railway engines (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends)#<name>|<name>]]. NOTE: this includes Narrow Gauge engines!

eg. SKARLOEY: [[Railway engines (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends)#Skarloey|Skarloey]]

  • THE FAT CONTROLLER: [[The Fat Controller]]
  • BERTIE: [[Bertie the Bus|Bertie]]
  • TERENCE: [[Terence the Tractor|Terence]]
  • TREVOR: [[Trevor the Traction Engine|Trevor]]
  • HAROLD: [[Harold the Helicopter|Harold]]

ALL OTHER CHARACTERS: link to any of the other TV Series character pages (ie. Rolling stock (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends), Non-rail vehicles (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends), Minor Characters (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends), etc).

eg. ELIZABETH: [[Non-rail vehicles (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends)#Elizabeth|Elizabeth]]

Please follow this format when adding characters to episode descriptions.

[edit] Superfluous content

Superfluous content has been popping up fairly regularly in this article and others recently. Please see WikiProject Thomas for further discussion on this.

Superfluous edits include: Goofs, "first time we see X's angry face", appearances of non-character rolling stock, and other such additions. Superfluous comments such as these detract from the article significantly, and will be removed or reverted.

[edit] Last Appearances (thus far)

Several times over the last few weeks, unregistered users have consistently edited notes such as Last appearance of <character> (thus far) by adding a date to the end of the particular note. Given that these dates are from future seasons, they cannot be confirmed and as such will continue to be reverted. Thehalford 03:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bulls' Eyes

Shouldn't it be noted that Bulls Eyes takes place between Daisy and Percy's Predicament although the latter stories were made in season 2? Jienum 19:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, no. The TV Series does not correspond exactly with the Railway Series (hence WP:THOMAS' major objective of clear deliniation between TV Series and Railway Series). By memory, there is nothing within the episode itself to suggest the episode took place between the two Season 2 episodes - not even a reference to Thomas being mended at the works. So, no, it shouldn't be noted. Gonzerelli 00:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featuring / Introducing

If a character is "introduced", they must also be "featured". This is now a "rule" across articles for all seasons. For WP:THOMAS, Gonzerelli 06:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] _

This is an example of a superfluous comment. I'm not arguing its "correctness", but it would not add anything to the article if it was included. It may be of interest to avid fans of the series, but this kind of information belongs on a fan site, not an encyclopedia. See WP:THOMAS/FAQ for more info on this.

Sorry about that i'll delete it right away and by the way, how do I create my own fan site can you help me.CourtneyBonnick 01:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rusty to the rescue

If Boco cameoed in the episode Rusty to the rescue (in which he didn't they only use his body) then how could he mention Oliver and it was Rusty was mentioned Oliver and I have seen this episode many times so I did not vandalise anything.C.bonnick 15:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
