Issue on uploading poster[edit]

Okay, so I need conformation to upload the title poster but when I tried to do it denied the request, any ideas? TheEpicApartmentLord (talk) 18:43, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

I am thinking of expanding the reception section to include reviews. Would it be appropriate to include material from Global Times and Daily Mail? I am aware that Wikipedia doesn't regard them as reliable sources and has deprecated them. Was wondering if we could make exceptions for these sources? Andykatib 01:50, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Andykatib: Hi, perhaps you can elaborate on them? ときさきくるみ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 13:48, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Tokisaki Kurumi:, the Global Times source talks about the response of Chinese audiences to the Netflix adaptation while the Daily Mail article is a critical review. However these two sources are blacklisted for various reasons on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, which means we cannot use them. My plan is to expand the reception section to include reviews by various media including Inverse, The Guardian and NPR. Just wanted to get advice on whether we can make an exception for the Global Times and Daily Mail articles. Andykatib (talk) 19:53, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Andykatib: Half of Global Times is summarizing content from CNN, Reuters, and Elle, while DailyMail's content looks like it's just like one random movie review. For me, there's valuable content on Global Times that's worth writing about, but they're likely to find alternatives, DailyMail's comments seem more like those on a blog site than what should be on a news site, too emotional. If you think critical reviews are necessary, maybe try this one on The Verge or this one on IndieWire. ときさきくるみ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 03:28, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Tokisaki Kurumi:, thanks for your advice. Will certainly consider The Verge and IndieWire reviews when I write up the reviews section. Cheers and happy Good Friday. Andykatib 07:31, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A section on themes would be very useful[edit]

I notice that there is no discussion of themes in the article on the novel, either. For example, I can't tell, from this article, whether this series is some kind of covert argument for the existence of god.Literaturegirl (talk) 05:53, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You may refer to The Three-Body Problem (novel)#Plot for the topic in general. ときさきくるみ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 08:20, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updated viewer count[edit]

It would be ideal to have a constant updated viewer count.

This would be ideal for many reasons, but the top reason being that it would give all fans an idea of how successful the show really is in the eyes of Netflix.

Everybody is wondering if it will get renewed for season two. And the only real way to find out, of course, is when Netflix announces it.

But there is historical precedent based on number of views.

There are always articles saying that Netflix added another 4.8 million views this last week. But no running tally here on this Wikipedia page.

I think it be super cool if there was. WilG888 (talk) 16:44, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
