episode tags

I see no evidence that you have evaluated the episode articles that you added the tags to - you made no attempt to discuss, just stuck your tags on in an arbitrary manner, and pointed to a guideline. I don't think this is a valid way of constructing the encyclopedia, and find it disruptive and rude. On the other hand, my involvement in these particular pages has been minimal - mostly trying to bring them up to standard in terms of language, grammar, and comprehensibility - so I'm not sure how I'll proceed. But I do object to the arbitray way this is being done. Tvoz |talk 21:41, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't want to see you spam the episode articles. I think you might try understanding that people other than you have points of view about how Wikipedia should work - and that includes whether the guideline WP:Episode must be considered gospel - and you might try a more collegial attitude.

Also, having just read your notice on the main page, I'd add that giving 14 days and threatening to delete the work that many editors have contributed to is not in keeping with the spirit of Wikipedia. Tvoz |talk 23:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I too am a bit bothered about the tags you added all over. I realize that you only mean to improve Wikipedia, but, WP:OWN or not, these tags clearly step on quite a few toes. My problem with this however is, that you are just adding them to all Futurama pages by default (correct me if I'm wrong!). You ask that every single article be reviewed, but you attach the tags without any explanation or other notification on the talk page. I hope you can see how this can be viewed as attacking other people's efforts. I am not saying that they might not all be reasonable (The notability section in WP:EPISODE definitely has apoint), but I strongly suggest you go about this differently – individually. Maybe set those (huge!) things on the talk pages, not the top of the articles. — Mütze 01:19, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Do you really expect to receive any sort of response on separate episode talk pages? The point of doing it on the episode list is to actually get a discussion going (it's not that hard for people to find it). Separate cases can easily be discussed there. TTN 01:36, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Then why not start a discussion on the "List of..." talk pages rather than adding the tags to each episode page? Tvoz |talk 01:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Because there needs to be no room to complain about a lack of open discussion. TTN 01:56, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

How about there actually being an open discussion, rather than what sounds like the construction of a case and a priori pre-judging? Tvoz |talk 02:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

We tag episodes, open a discussion, and wait. If people respond and show that these can meet standards, they stay. Otherwise, people take a quick look over them and keep or redirect them depending on potential. The episodes are bad, so they must assert notability. This is the best way to deal with them while having minimal complaints. I'm not getting why you find the tags to be bad. These are essentially cleanup and merge tags in one. One of those would be added otherwise. TTN 02:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you, Tvoz, 100%! What you have been doing for months has been nothing but disruptive. Angie Y. 04:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
