Talk:Black Friday (South Park)

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please do not add mention of pop cultural references, continuity notes, trivia, or who the targets of a given episode's parody are, without accompanying such material with an inline citation of a reliable, published, secondary source. Adding such material without such sources violates Wikipedia's policies pertaining to Verifiability, No Original Research, and Synthesis.

While a primary source (such as the episode itself, or a screencap or clip from it at South Park Studios) is acceptable for material that is merely descriptive, such as the synopsis, it is not enough to cite a primary source for material that constitutes analytic, evaluative or interpretative claims, such as cultural references in works of satire or parody, because in such cases, such claims are being made by the editor. This is called synthesis, which is a form of original research, and is not permitted on Wikipedia, regardless of whether one thinks the meaning of the reference is "obvious". Sources for such claims must be secondary sources in which reliable persons, such as TV critics or reviewers, explicitly mention the reference.

In addition, trivial information that is not salient or relevant enough to be incorporated into the major sections of an article should not be included, per WP:PLOTSUMMARIZE and WP:TRIVIA, and this includes the plot summary. As indicated by WP:TVPLOT, the plot summary is an overview of a work's main events, so avoid any minutiae that is not needed for a reader's understanding of the story's three fundamental elements: plot, characterization and theme. This includes such minutiae as scene-by-scene breakdowns, technical information or detailed explanations of individual gags or lines of dialogue.

Second part?[edit]

Any word if or not this is the first episode of a potential two-parter or more? --Matt723star (talk) 14:42, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Matt and Trey have announced it is. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 23:46, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lady McCormick[edit]

As the page is protected, I can't edit it - Kenny's character is "Lady McCormick", not "Princess McCormick", could somebody please update it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.9.139.96 (talk) 08:10, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Who wins the 80% discount? The first 20, 30 or 60 persons?[edit]

The South park wikia article states that a 80% discount would be applied to the first 60 persons, then the wikipedia entry says it's the first 30 people, but then I rewatched the episode and at the start of the episodes, the main cop of the mall states clearly that the first 20 persons would be the winners of the discount. But then later in the episode, it is implied that the winners would be the first 30. Help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.136.82.37 (talk) 01:28, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, it was error on the production's part. I've changed the figure in the synopsis back to 20, as it was when I first wrote it, not only because it was the first figure given but because it was the one given by the mall security supervisor, whom one would expect to have the most accurate, up-to-date information before anyone else. I also added a clarifying note to the article explaining this. Is this okay with everyone? Nightscream (talk) 04:41, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, there is a banner at the mall reading "BLACK FRIDAY! 80% OFF Anything to First 30 customers!" around minute 6 in the episode 84.118.104.166 (talk) 23:13, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh. Great, so now what do we do? I thought of perhaps summarizing the passage without specifying a figure, ("few dozen" or "20 - 30 people"), but the nature of that plot point seems to call for a specific number. A non-specific or vague number just doesn't seem to work. What does everyone else think? Nightscream (talk) 03:35, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
