ERRORS

There is an error in the next episode date of 2/26/07, its listed as 2/25/07. I cannot change it for some reason

Not an error at all, airs tonight in Canada, see citation given next to date. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 23:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

But is this true for everyone? Unless it airs everywhere on the 25th, it probably should be changed to the 26th. PureSoldier 23:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Why would it be changed to 2th because "it doesn't air everywhere", you do realise "it doesn't air everywhere" on the 26th? The field is for original airdates, not "Original American airdates", we go by what's verifiable. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 23:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

No need to get hostile. However, if it's airing on both dates, it should be stated as so, and where. I'm looking for a source to verify it for the next day as well. PureSoldier 23:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Then put a note on the episode page. You ain't seriously suggesting however we list every worldwide air date for episodes though, here? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 00:01, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I am seriously suggesting that if we are to state the air date, then we should be correct about it. Showing Canada's air date is not correct for the United States, and showing the United State's air date is not correct for Canada. So, what would be the best way to be the most correct? Show both dates. PureSoldier 00:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Canada's airdate is correct, the cell states (like every other LOE), "Original airdate", Canada *is* the original, regardless. A note on the episode page would probably be appropriate. Remember that Wikipedia doesn't conform to one nations views, it represents a worldwide view, as such the original (ala première airdate) is correct. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 00:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Gotcha. I misread the original air date as only air date.PureSoldier 02:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

The date for epidsode 17 (Company man) appears to only have been viewable on the 25th in eastern canada. Am i correct?

Global Television Network aired the episode a day early to make room for a new show. I believe they have affiliates as far west as Winnipeg, though someone more in tune (ha!) with Canadian television should feel free to correct me. →Bobby← 14:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

According to their web site, Global has affiliates from Halifax to Vancouver Island. They don't necessarily have the same air time in every market. Avt tor 07:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I live in Vancouver, BC and it aired here on the 25th on Global. Gary Steinke

I agree with the statements above that this is not a US centric site, but a world site. However, a date is specific to a time zone. You can't just put a date down without putting a time zone or time. Is there a standard that Wikipedia uses for dates? Perhaps UTC Time (the new way of saying Greenwich Mean Time)?

Protection

I have gotten this article semi-protected, hopefully this will prevent (at least most) people from changing the air dates. --WillMak050389 22:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Plot summary length redux

"Distractions", "Run!", "Unexpected", and "Company Man" (and even "Six Months Ago") all have excessively long plot summaries. I agree that it is importinat to ,mention all of the significant occurrences in a given episode, but Wikipedia is not the place for scene-by-scene verbatim reproduction of every episode. Pages such as "Godsend" and "The Fix" are examples of reasonable-length articles. We should work together to ensure that we don't go overboard in our episode summaries. - SigmaEpsilon → ΣΕ 18:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

episodes number

i think that season 1 has 23 episodes planned for so should we post blank entrys to show that?

Where did you here that? I haven't seen anything saying there would be 23 episodes, and besides, most tv shows only have 20 episodes. Arwen undomiel 17:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Entries should only be placed once there is verifiable information, i.e. TBA cells are unneeded. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 17:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

actually, the first season will have 22. it was announced when they said they would pick heroes up for a full season... -Xornok 17:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Further to the above, shows tend to have 22-24 shows per season. Sci-Fi has done a number of 20-episode seasons, for Stargate and BSG, but the major nets usually go a bit longer. --Ckatz^chat_spy 17:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

In an interview from Wizard Universe (TV Q&A: HEROES—TIM KRING), Tim Kring states Volume I (which spans all of season 1) will have 23 episodes. Jeff Loeb adds in another Wizard Universe interview (TV Q&A: HEROES—JEPH LOEB) that NBC wanted more episodes but there wasn't enough time to produce more than 23. - fmmarianicolon | Talk 20:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Correct. There will be a total of twenty-three episodes this season. Thus it makes sense to post TBA entries for the final five of the season. I know how much trouble it was for me to find out when the season finale was. Having the info on Wikipedia makes it a lot easier. -alongwaltz 16:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

119 Air date

The list has the Air date for 119 as April 23 but the two referencing pages both list episode 119 as airing next week, I'm wondering if anyone has a reference for the delayed air date? It doesn't seem very appropriate to show that kind of break in the schedule without any reference. -Tomaszkolo 03:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

There isn't any sorce for the airdates of episodes 19 - 23. I recommend stating "no airdate released" until one of the official websites states otherwise.-L_001_002 03:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes there is. It is April 23. [1] Arwen undomiel 03:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Episode 20

There is some information avalible about episode 20. We know that it takes place at least partially in the future (5 years hence) and that most of the heroes will be dead in this possible future. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.189.155.40 (talk) 04:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

..... -Xornok 05:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't want to believe it, but he's right. At least about the future bit. Jack Coleman and Greg Grunberg have both said it. The Coleman bit is second-hand(from a radio interview), but Greg's statement is word for word. Huh. Five years later. Weird. Valaqil 20:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

in perspective it's not really the weirdest or least plausible thing on the show. it's likely the future hiro is now visiting.130.126.130.178 16:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I will take your word(s) for it about episode 20, however if anyone can find the reference this information comes from can they citate it in the main article because after a quick search I couldn't find anything to back up your claims about episode 20. Valerieg 00:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

heres the page about it being in the future for episode 20 - http://spoilerfix.com/heroes.php

.07%

It is not just TV.com giving information about .07%, so would people please stop removing info on the episode? http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/photos/general/ and many other reliable sites have talked about .07% Arwen undomiel 19:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I've added references to official photos from NBC and the news report from CBR. - fmmarianicolon | Talk 20:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Series

when does the first season end and when it does well there be others? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.16.89.117 (talk) 03:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

The first season will end with the next episode, ".07%". A second season has already been announced by NBC. dposse 16:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

??? I'm presuming you meant after five more episodes... the next batch starts with .07%, followed by four more. --Ckatz^chat_spy 20:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Correct--the season finale isn't until May 21. Arwen undomiel 20:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

New episode titles

According to Sci-Fi Wire, see link above.

Episode 22: "Landslide" Episode 23: "How to stop an Exploding Man"

and from HeroSite.net

Episode 20: "String Theory Episode 21: "The Hard Part" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Heroesfan40 (talk • contribs) 16:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC).

Spoilerfix.com cannot be considered as a reliable source. I think we have to remove the entries. -- Magioladitis 00:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't think we need to remove them. There are now several reliable sites naming the next four episodes, the sources cited in the article are just a few. Arwen undomiel 01:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I found a reference at heroestheseries.com which redirected to scifi.com. Scifi.com is a fairly reliable source, I would say. Valaqil 13:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Can someone make a general icon for the future episodes like the one in the List of Jericho episodes? -- Magioladitis 19:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Screen captures and fair use

Ed's trying it at List of The Wire episodes now (removing them), he's also trying to get the FUC reworded to effectively "ban" screen captures, Wikipedia_talk:Fair_use#Screenshots_2. Matthew 15:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Attempt to create precedent disallowing individual episodes

There is discussion at WP:AN/I#Fancruft_issue_again, and an AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kept Man that is attempting to create a precedent disallowing individual episodes. - Peregrine Fisher 18:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Peregrine Fisher and User:Matthew are attempting to vote stack this AfD by telling other users that this AfD will effect unrelated episode articles. This AfD is only about this set of articles, and stands on it's own. AfD is not a vote. Editors coming here to support a different show's set of episode articles should take the time to comment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kept Man situation individually. -- Ned Scott 18:54, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Usage of images in LOEs

There's presently a discussion at WP:AN in regards to image usage in LOEs. With several having gone as far to edit war in the hopes of removing images. You are invited to participate and give opinions, so that another consensus (of many) may be reached, again. Matthew 12:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Wow, this looks so empty now.--156.56.151.21 00:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, it looks kinda depressing.Toxic Ninja 00:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Could someone please give me a link to the discussion? Jakk55 18:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Season 2

The summary for season 2 is wrong, the reference link cannot be followed because it says "http://http" and even after following it,to Kristin's blog, nowhere does it say anything close to the summary given. Can some admin correct this? And Why is the page protected, I mean the season is over and I am guessing there will be less vandalism, isn't it? eZio 06:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

The season ends on May 21, as far as the comment above this page, the page was protected so people stopped editing the air dates. Vicco Lizcano 14:40, 3 May 2007 (UTC) ^{(Hey! Listen!)}

Oops! Wonder why I thought that the season is done! eZio 14:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I fixed the http://http typo. Cburnett 15:00, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Could you also fix reference link number 4, it doesn't point to anything eZio 09:20, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. Cburnett 12:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

typo

At the bottom, under season 2, I think it should be "M.O." or "MO" and should link to "Modus operandi" instead of the current "m.o." HOwever, I cannot edit. DrIdiot 22:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I have seen it abbreviated as m.o. in the American Heritage New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy. [2] I'm pretty sure it could be abbreviated either way, but it should be abbreviated to MO to ensure continuity with Modus operandi. Arwen undomiel 00:50, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. Cburnett 12:48, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I can't see the link to "Modus operandi", or has it been reverted?

I would also think that the "'cause" should be changed to "because" as per an attempt at some sort of formality in the writing. Thanks! Michaeloz 17:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

New Episode....

could someone update the first sentence to show 21 episodes aired? thankee you..... Purples 04:16, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll unprotect the page. Please do not add the images back without project-wide consensus. CMummert · talk

Done. Cburnett 01:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you admins! - Purples 01:05, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Whoops

I messed up the bottom of the page where it lists the characters, episodes and etc... I really didnt mean to, could someone fix it back [Admins]

Episode titles (105 and 119) revert

Edits were made in good faith. Sources: http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/episodes/season1/105/ http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/episodes/season1/119/--unsigned

Those links don't make the titles wrong, just shows the NBC web team didn't proof-read. Matthew 09:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Episode Summaries and What Wikipedia is not

In 5 days (June 25, 2007) I will be redirecting any Heroes episode articles that do not have "real-world context and sourced analysis" as per WP:NOT#IINFO to List of Heroes episodes. I also posted this notice to WikiProject Heroes talk page, please comment there to keep the discussion in one place. Thank you. --Phirazo 17:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Please refer to Gwinva's note here. There is a proper process for reviewing episode articles, as defined through WP:EPISODE. Five days notice plus blind redirection will only cause problems, especially since the Heroes project already has plans for improving the articles. Thanks. --Ckatz^chat_spy 19:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Kevin Smith will direct the pilot episode of Heroes: Origins. It will premiere on April. In Heroes there will be a new female character named Monica from New Orleans. Heroes will also be released as a comic I think by DC. It is confirmed that Alex Ross and Jim Lee will do the art for some of the covers. I read all this in a reliable site and I didn't know if you were aware of this new info. I hope I was of help.

Tim Kring Interview With The Guardian

The part under Season 2 about Tim Kring's interview with the Guardian is totally false. There has been no such interview. I've checked.
