Cast chart

Please discuss here, rather than risking 3RR. Sephiroth storm (talk) 11:55, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What about making the table grey for the characters who no longer are in the show? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.241.139.221 (talk) 21:45, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Abby Sciuto: Forensic, Evidence, and Ballistics Specialist, NCIS

I was just wondering why Abby's title is so long. I believe that "Forensic Specialist" covers both evidence and ballistics; at the very least, both are listed as subdivisions on the page for forensics. Simply listing her as "Forensic Specialist, NCIS" seems sufficient to me. SapphireSkies (talk) 02:08, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Sephiroth storm (talk) 05:22, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As do I, so I've been bold and changed it. --AussieLegend (talk) 05:55, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TV.com as a source

Recently, I have noticed the quality of recaps and info decline at TV.com, and now it is very obvious it is edited by anyone who cares to. Therefore, I believe we should watch that TV.com is NOT being used as a valid source to cite edits. One example of poor info was "FBI Agent Spano", when actor Joe Spano plays Agent Fornell. Just want Wikipedia to be right, and not a mess nor a playground for bored computer users.

No disagreement here. TV.com is user-contributed and not a reliable source. It should never be used except in very few circumstances where an exception is necessary. Regards SoWhy 20:57, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thats a bit ironic, given the nature of Wikipedia!! 125.254.34.82 (talk) 05:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. Wikipedia is not areliable source either. --AussieLegend (talk) 07:40, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Averaging"

The article contains the words:

NCIS delivered its largest audience to date in the Season 7 episode "Reunion", averaging 21.37 million viewers.

I don't see how an average figure can apply to the audience size of a single episode. Is there something I'm missing?

It's an average taken over the course of the show. Viewing figures fluctuate throughout due to people tuning in late or switching off early. Peak viewing figures are the statistic that they usually go for because it tends to be a couple of million higher. Averaging is better at showing the popularity of a show.

Oh, I see. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.130.156 (talk) 22:42, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting

This article uses inconsistent formatting when it comes to naming seasons of the show. I see "Season 1" (which I believe to be correct), "Season One", and "season one". Shouldn't some consistency be brought to this, since this is a featured article?--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 21:40, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

International Distribution section

Is this really necessary for the US version of Wikipedia? It takes up quite a bit of room, and it seems a bit silly to have all the information on what season is currently being shown in Japan. Not trying to be a witch, just trying to keep the page clean and nice without too much clutter. Trista TristaBella (talk) 04:55, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's no such thing as the "US" version of Wikipedia; it's the English version. I'm not sure we need "currently" airing information. It's enough to have a list of the stations. --AussieLegend (talk) 08:07, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Character/Cast List

Is it really necessary to have the character biographies listed in the cast table, the bios have their own page, List of NCIS characters, wouldn't a link to the main article be sufficient? Thanks. --Rizzoli Isles (talk) 16:26, 12 November 2010 (GMT)

There needs to be at least a short introduction to each character in the series although, preferably, this should be presented in prose form, not a table. --AussieLegend (talk) 16:40, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Shall I amend that or does it need to be discussed further? --Rizzoli Isles (talk) 22:01, 12 November 2010 (GMT)
