Doppelgängland

Should Doppelgängland be at Doppelgängland (Buffy episode) as the instructions here say, or not? Seems like it's been recently moved from Doppelgängland (Buffy episode) to Doppelgängland, as I discovered when I was about to move it myself, as this page says. Is this an exception? If not, how can I move it so the history follows to the new article, is that possible? Maver1ck 18:13, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Is there a canonical reference for whether this episode is titled "Doppelgängland" or "Doppelgangland"? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:09, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Seasonal pages?

Would it make sense to have pages for each season which link to the episode pages? MosheZadka 10:40, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Isn't there already a list of all episodes? Wouldn't that suffice? --Allycat 11:51, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Heading case fixes

I've been updating the episodes with Wikiquote template links that jump directly to the relevant episode sections. While doing this, I've also been fixing the heading cases, which according to Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Headings should be "sentence case" (i.e., capitalize only the first word and proper nouns). I hope the Project doesn't have a problem with this. I can see there is a desire here not to follow this policy, based on the main Project page itself. I admit I don't know how WikiProjects are affected by general Wikipedia policy, but the episode articles are in the main namespace. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Quotes and trivia sections

This is sort of in response to something from Jeff Q's comment above. I'm new to the project, so maybe this has been discussed elsewhere, but I feel as though having a "quotes" section for each episode article to be a little strange for a few reasons. 1) How does one decide which quotes are proper for inclusion in an encyclopedia and which aren't? Is it based on comedic value? Relevance to the plot of the episode? The season? Where does it end? 2) Formatting is an issue, since there's no standard. 3) Most importantly, we DO have wikiquote, and with Jeff Q's templating, is it really necessary to duplicate 'information' there? NymphadoraTonks 17:16, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, Wikiquote "duplicates" a tiny amount of wikipedia in its article (a 1-2 sentence of introduction, which would in wp be a "stub"), so there's no reason wp can duplicate what in wq would be a stub. Perhaps decide on a maximum of 1-3 quotes per episodes, with justification only being extreme relevance to the plot or episode (not pithiness -- if it's just funny, it's enough that it's on wq).

Crossovers

I've added a "Crossover" notice to each of the following episodes: The Freshman; City of; The Harsh Light of Day; In the Dark; Bachelor Party; Pangs; I Will Remember You; Who Are You?; Five by Five; Sanctuary; The Yoko Factor; Fool for Love; Darla; Redefinition; Crush; Disharmony; The Gift; There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb; Orpheus; Dirty Girls (left off this list the first time); Chosen; Just Rewards. Is that all? —Tamfang 06:10, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Added sections to episodes linked to the mini crossover

• B6.04 Flooded
• A3.04 Carpe Noctem
• B6.05 Life Serial
• A3.05 Fredless

The Girl in Question on Angel?

New infoboxes?

The infobox seems to have changed on The Harvest, but I like the old one better. There should be a link to List of all Buffy eps tho, and maybe one to the specific season, but listing the names here is just redundant and makes it harder to navigate to eps around it.

Welcome to Hellmouth page location

Is there a reason why Welcome to the Hellmouth (Buffy episode) current redirects to Welcome to the Hellmouth? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Yeah it should be, just moved it. -- Paxomen 13:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Paxomen. Xiner 16:44, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Angel episodes

Thanks for adding infoboxes to all the Angel episodes Paxomen. :) I hope you don't mind, but I'll add bigger and better quality pictures later on. But they look good for now. I hope you don't take that as an insult, but I have access to better quality pics. --Cooksey 17:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh yeah absolutely, the ones I added are very low res, lataness -- Paxomen 23:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Article reviews

It'd be nice if someone with strong writing skills could do a walk thru of the articles that have been struck out and check if they are indeed up to standard. I took a look at Lover's Walk and with all due respect, it isn't ready for prime time. Xiner 15:12, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

We could put in a checkmark or something as a sign of a review of any crossing-out action. I'd like to know, too, if I say an article's finished when someone has reviewed my decision. It'd be nice to know that two people have reviewed every article.

Writing & Acting POV

Unfortunately the Writing & Acting sections (and to a lesser extent the Quotes & Trivia sections) are fairly saturated with POV. I've cut comments on how Welcome to the Hellmouth is superior to Encounter at Farpoint, comments on how exciting/funny certain episodes are, and a paragraph on how Cordelia's behaviour in Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered is the episode's "only weak point". Much of the information in these sections is simply too subjective, so I thought I'd flag it up here, partly as a warning that I may go on a POV-culling spree but also as a note to try keeping things as factual as possible.--Nalvage 13:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Episode chronology

If we have suggestions to change the chronology, where do we bring them? For instance, I'd suggest that Buffy 4x01 (The Freshman) come before rather than after Angel 1x01 (City of) because of the phone call that takes place between them (Buffy answering "Hello? Hello?" which is near the end of 4x01 but the beginning of 1x01). For this and other suggestions, where do I bring them? Kimpire 19:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

The Talk Page for the Chronology article itself is probably the best place. Here, for that particular bit. But I think that phone call is actually near the end of the Angel episode.--Nalvage 21:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I hesitated to put it there because of the whedonverse template. That talk page has nothing on it whatsoever, and has in fact never been altered. Are you sure that's the right place? From the looks of it I should be looking for whatever page was used to hash out the chronology in the first place... Kimpire 11:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where the creation of the page was hashed out, but now that the page exists, its own Talk Page is the right place for discussion. It only has the whedonverse template 'cos no-one's felt the need to discuss anything yet. Which... yeah, suggests that the article was put together in one fell swoop. Anyway, now that you've brought it up here, people might weigh in.--Nalvage 12:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Episode naming dispute

FYI, a dispute at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television) has boiled over to this WikiProject, such that one user has decided to start moving a bunch of articles around, in violation of the #Episodes guidelines here, and without any attempt at WP:RM. I have requested that these moves be reverted, but I really strongly recommend that anyone in this WikiProject who cares about the article titles (whichever way that you prefer), get involved in the discussions at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television) and Talk:List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes. --Elonka 23:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
