Title

I'm slightly curious as to why this isn't titled "Season 8 (Game of Thrones)". --NoToleranceForIntolerance (talk) 04:04, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just to comply with WP:TV-NC. It's the way people have agreed to do it and as has been kept uniform across the overwhelming majority of articles; Game of Thrones (season 7), Game of Thrones (season 6), Game of Thrones (season 5), Game of Thrones (season 4), Game of Thrones (season 3), Game of Thrones (season 2), Game of Thrones (season 1) etc — IVORK Discuss 04:18, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because "season 8" isn't the official title. People just informally refer to the season as such. ----Kailash29792 (talk) 04:19, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
More details can be found at WP:TVSEASON: For an article that describes one season of a television show (possibly containing a section for episode summaries), the article should be named first by the name of the show, and then by the season/series number. -- AlexTW 05:37, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Even without WP:TV-NC imagine for EVERY series which now can be found with a list of episodes, and the sucessfull ones even with articles about seperate Seasons, there would be Hundreds if not Thousands "Season 1 (Series)" articles... it would sound so stupid... the whole release dates etc. are another thing I came here and leave disappointed with another thing not understanding thing about US Companies. ABC, HBO, CBS, first Mid-Season, than 3 years to create 7 episodes without any budget problems. However, who decides such things like above? definition of tq? Mods, users or mods only? Many things make no sense in Wikipedia but this does! For me the day soon ends, but enjoy yours in the American Countries/AUS Greetings Kilon22 (talk) 22:45, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't make sense of that. But it's determined per WP:CONSENSUS. -- AlexTW 00:15, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit suggestions

I realise that the page is protected to prevent vandalism - rightfully so. So can we suggest edits here:

Episode 2: The episode summary does not include Missandei's encounter with racism - which might play a greater role in the rest of the season - as a basis for the Unsullied departure from Westeros Neoconfi (talk) 02:37, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, it's not really racism so much as xenophobia, and even to a degree (in this fictional world), one which is justified, considering she is part of a foreign army which invaded the continent and whose leader, daughter of a previous despot, forced theirs to abdicate. It'd only be racism proper if they only targeted POC Non-Westerosi leaving white ones be.
But in any case, crystal ball policy applies: we have no way of knowing whether that minor detail will be of importance in the remaining four episodes, so it should not be added. 181.115.111.234 (talk) 03:11, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It mentions the "dead hoard"—this is clearly a typo, since it's not like someone is hoarding the dead, but rather, it's a dead horde. Softwaremills (talk) 13:53, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the description for episode 3, it is stated that Arya took the face of a white walker to attack the night king. Not only is there no evidence of this, but for someone's face to be taken, they have to be dead. Not only would the Night King have been made aware of this, but it must be rather difficult to take a face off of a white walker once it has been shattered to pieces by valerian steel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.26.25 (talk) 00:24, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please add a new cast member to the 'in the north' section of characters. Bea Glancy as Teela.2A00:23C5:5011:2A01:3886:EED5:F756:2D2 (talk) 21:14, 25 April 2019 (UTC) 2A00:23C5:5011:2A01:3886:EED5:F756:2D2 (talk) 21:14, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 04:16, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Episode Names

HBO are not confirming episode titles until the episode airs this season. Both episodes shown so far have had incorrect names added to this article beforehand, and there have been multiple attempts to set the name of the third episode as "Battle for Winterfell" from dubious sources.

Episode titles for forthcoming episodes should not be added in until provided by a reliable source WP:RS and WP:Crystal. Until HBO or another verifiable source (i.e. not something like nextgot.com which is a fan site with no affiliation to Game of Thrones or HBO) provide an episode title, this should be left blank.

"The Night King and his wights disintegrate" should read "The Night King and his White Walkers disintegrate" source: https://www.insider.com/game-of-thrones-white-walkers-wights-skeletons-difference-2017-8 Benikahn (talk) 13:38, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. You are correct, and was revised. Thanks. --Zefr (talk) 15:36, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fake Casting News

The source claiming that Edmure Tully and Robyn Arryn will appear in the premier episode is obviously fake. Please remove that. 98.187.239.5 (talk) 17:20, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of actors

@TedEdwards: This is how it originally was about 10 days ago. I also want to point out that WP:TVCAST is a guideline, not a policy, but since you're eager to follow it, I just wanted to ask whether you changed the order for all of the previous seasons or not? Because I believe the general format needs to be consistent for all of these articles. Keivan.fTalk 19:24, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tobias Menzies as Edmure Tully[

The source expicitly says he would appear in the first episode, which was not the case. Please provide a source generally stating his possible appearance in this season or remove the actor from the list. --94.134.89.21 (talk) 20:31, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
