Talk:Burn Notice season 1

tables

Something's wrong with the tables! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.12.214.89 (talk) 19:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

It's because the infobox is too long for the lead section, and the chart with the episodes can't adjust itself to fit around it. The solution is to make the intro longer (as in the article for season 2). I'll do it when I can, but someone else is welcome to go at it first. -Sketchmoose (talk) 14:36, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with the tables. It's a minor layout issue, that's about all. ThuranX (talk) 21:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Expansion

Due to the increased activity on pages of this type (such as the now-deleted In Plain Sight (season 1) and the soon-to-be-deleted White Collar (season 1)), I will be going through the Burn Notice season articles and expanding them, just as I have recently done with the Monk season articles (see Monk (season 1)). I will be reformatting the Cast section and adding a Crew and Reception section. If there is anything else you can think of, please let me know. Kevinbrogers (talk) 03:24, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Colour contrast problems

It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on Burn Notice (season 1). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Editing episode summaries

I'm a fan of the show who is simply seeking to better and/or more briefly summarize the episodes and, as I compare the episode summaries for all seven seasons of Burn Notice to those of other pages for TV shows, I notice that they tend to be shorter and/or much less detailed than those for Burn Notice, which is the purpose of a summary. In that light, I have undertaken the project of rewriting them in such a way that they are more concise yet still compelling, and would appreciate any support and help I can get from you all in that endeavor. Regards, DuckDevil90 (talk) 18:16, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

But they're not compelling. They're just shortened to remove what you characterized as "spoilers" when you were editing as an IP. These summaries have been in place for some time, and consensus is that they are appropriate as is. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 18:46, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Whether or not spoilers are removed, the summaries can be shorter/more general, and that's what a summary is supposed to be; again, there are plenty of other show pages where the episode summaries are just one or two simple, brief lines/sentences, and often happen to be free of "spoiler"-type details. Maybe they were written that way, or maybe, like I did a few years ago on these episode summaries, someone edited them along the way and took out the spoilers; in any case, based on that comparison, these episode summaries can be more brief and comprehensive, and if "spoilers" happen to be removed in the process then I frankly don't see what the issue is, other than engaging in borderline pedantic gatekeeping.
