Reason to change the big bang theory season 5 color

the reason to change the color of the fifth season is that this is the original color of the DVD, and in the other seasons so are the colors, as the DVD

I see that now, but it is still very similar to the season 4 color, so it should be more distinctive. Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:58, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

ok, then I think we should put it a different color than the fourth but more like the DVD of the fifth, what you think? we can even leave it in that color if you like

I will create a section on the talk page so others can weigh in. Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:19, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

List of The Big Bang Theory episodes (season 6)

I've removed the production code from the first episode again. As I indicated last time,[1] there is nothing in the tweet or image that links the production code to this episode title. In fact the episode title has been deliberately concealed. Sources must directly support claims that are made and the sources do not do this. Assigning the production code to this episode therefore constitutes WP:SYNTH, which is not permitted. I've also removed the episode summary, as that is a copyvio. --AussieLegend (talk) 23:24, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

If you look at the twitter photo, you can see, that while the title is concealed, you can make out #601 below the dice and gum, as well episode 112 in the lower left corner. This associates it with the first episode of the season, as last season's finale was overall episode #111, and 601 implies season 6 episode 1. In addition, when I started editing season 5 around mid-January last year, I would look to Prady's twitter photos to see the production codes for the episodes, with titles concealed, such as this from the finale last year, while the other episode info was gain from other places such as Futon Critic. If that is not enough common association, the director and writers are the same from the Futon source similar to how they were for last season. I am also wondering how the episode summary is a copyvio, when it was taken from the Futon Critic page. Again, the same tactic was used for last season's episodes when they would appear on Futon before they aired, so were those done wrongly as well? Thanks. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:32, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

This still constitutes WP:SYNTH. You need a source that directly links the episode title. Summaries taken from press releases constitute copyright violations.[2][3] You need to write episode summaries in your own words. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:08, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Here is an example of an edit I did on last season's page where I used the Futon Critic source, as well as the photo of the table draft, with title covered, from Bill Prady to add info for the episode. In episode 23 (at the time of this edit), the RTitle, from Futon Critic, cites everything except for the production code, which is done by the twitter photo. For episode 24, the next twitter photo of the table draft, again with title covered, cites production code, director and writers. Based on what you are saying, this was done incorrectly as well? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:10, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that would seem to be the case. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:35, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

And you say in the short summary section for episode one now, future episodes "require a citation unless the episode summary is directly supported by the citation in the "RTitle" field". If Futon Critic is the source in RTitle, then isn't the summary they give, while a press release, covered by that citation because you are citing in? That seems like you are contradicting what you told me before. I know after episodes air, the summaries must be in their own words, but for the small synopsis before hand, those have to be own words as well? I would just like to know the thinking so my future edits will be correct. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:18, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

The source can support the summary, but that doesn't mean that you can directly copy the episode summary from the source. You need to change the summary substantially, which effectively means writing it in your own words, regardless of whether that's done before or after the episode airs. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:38, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Okay. As I was thinking more about the production code, where is it suggested that for TV episodes, WP:SYNTH has to match the title of the episode? If I wanted to get accurate info, I would look to the episode number for the season (601 here) or the overall number (112). To me, that is a more definitive connection between the sources than the title because the title may have changed or have been altered by the studio for some reason (such as Season 1 episode 15, The Shiksa Indeterminacy/The Pork Chop Indeterminacy). And a second question to you would be where can we get the production code for the episode, if not through Prady's pictures? I have not seen them listed on any other reliable source when they talk about the episodes. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 13:25, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Chicken dance

I thought mentioning the particular song was the best info of all that part. I guess there are lots of people who wonder what song that was. I'm sorry you feel different about that. Ziyalistix (talk) 12:54, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Whether people feel the need to know the song is irrelevant. When writing summaries, we are just giving a general overview of the episode, not every specific detail. For the episode, it doesn't matter if it was the chicken dance, the electric slide or the foxtrot. What's important to the plot is Amy wanted to Leonard to dance with her and as a result he strained his groin. In addition, we have already talked on the talk page about the length of the episodes summaries, per {{Episode list}} and this unnecessary detail puts this episode over that limit. -Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

It was all about the chicken song (a scare to dance - or not - with Amy) and therefore a mentionable pun. I hate how it is killed here just because it's 3 more words than allowed. This just killes everything here. Please, let Sheldon be autistic and we here at wp not Ziyalistix (talk) 20:26, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

A Nightmare on Facetime

Hi. Thanks for creating the A Nightmare on Facetime article. However, if you're going to include plot material, please do not cut and paste copyright-protected material verbatim from the source. Doing so is copyright infringement, and can result legal trouble for Wikipedia. Always make sure to paraphrase the material you find. Thanks again. :-) Nightscream (talk) 05:02, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! Yeah I know about the whole copy/paste from press releases and the copyright infringement. I just created the page quickly and was going to go back to fix it but forgot. I always try to paraphrase, but forgot this time. I'll try to be more diligent in the future. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:13, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Remove remaining personal attack on POI

Favre, what would you think if I were to delete the remainder of the NPA thread regarding the spelling of Judgment on the POI talk page? SpacePirates seems to have flown away, and the part that remains, to which you and I responded when we thought he could be reasoned with, includes a lot more personal attack language. I'd like it all to go, but don't feel I can remove without getting an OK from you since our replies would go, too. Any objection to my removing your response along with the original post and my response? --Drmargi (talk) 09:34, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Please by all means go right ahead! I see no purpose that the current state of the thread will provide. However, i don't know if it is worthwhile to create a new thread, possibly titled "Judgment vs. Judgement", just explaining that they are variant spellings and that reliable sources for the episode (CBS, TVGuide, the DVD guide, etc.) all list it as Judgment. SpacePirates was the only editor that had an issue with the spelling so a new thread might not be needed. But for the current thread, go right ahead and do what you want with it. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:31, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Dandy! I'll get rid of the mess. I don't think a new thread is needed until the issue comes up again (see WP:BEANS, if only for a laugh). I doubt it will; this was a person with spelling issues who was determined to be right. Most reasonable editors know the standard spelling and that CBS is the most reliable source for the correct title and title spelling. --Drmargi (talk) 20:50, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:34, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
