MOS?

Is there a MOS related to British TV shows? For instance, Doctor Who uses some combination of the words "series" and "season" in a way only they understand. Today there was a question on Torchwood about "the 2008 series" versus "the 2008 season". Is there a standard? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 19:51, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Centralized TV Episode Discussion

Over the past months, TV episodes have been redirected by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here [1]. --Maniwar (talk) 00:36, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Request for comments

Hello to the members of this project. A discussion has commenced at the talk page for the sitcom The Good Life here [2]. Your input is requested to help reach a consensus on this matter. Thank you in advance for any help that you can give in this matter. MarnetteD | Talk 23:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Request for Project Comments

List of Keeping Up Appearances episodes has recently been cleaned up and put into the proper episode list format, using the episode list template, adding a decent intro, etc. An editor is wholescale edit warring over it, insisting that his preferred format is correct. This is now spilled over into List of Goodnight Sweetheart episodes (which is now protected), as well as two ANI filings mine against him and his retaliatory one. I came to the list at the request of another editor as a Television project rep to help when the edit war start, but its continuing to escalate. Several other editors have requested Edito stop, but he continues while hurling insults at anyone (but most especially me) who reverts his changes. At this point, I think some additional help from the two projects this falls under, as he claims the format has no consensus, despite my arguing that it follows the format of many of our recent FLs.

British TV shows project: Articles of unclear notability

Hello,

there are currently 36 articles in the scope of this project which are tagged with notability concerns. I have listed them here. (Note: this listing is based on a database snapshot of 12 March 2008 and may be slightly outdated.)

I would encourage members of this project to have a look at these articles, and see whether independent sources can be added, whether the articles can be merged into an article of larger scope, or possibly be deleted. Any help in cleaning up this backlog is appreciated. For further information, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Notability.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the Notability project page or on my personal talk page. (I'm not watching this page however.) Thanks! --B. Wolterding (talk) 15:51, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review request

Hi everyone, the Peer Review page suggests asking for feedback from appropriate Wikiprojects to aid in a Peer Review request. I just put up the ITC Entertainment article for Peer Review and I would greatly appreciate some feedback from members of this Wikiproject as I feel the subject matter is not too dissimilar from British TV channels. The review can be found here: [3]. Many thanks Howie ☎ 23:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Green Wing (series 2) for featured list

The second series of Green Wing was nominated for featured list status but failed, mainly because so few people commented on it. It has been put back up again so if anyone wants to comment on it, please do so. ISD (talk) 07:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review for Last of the Summer Wine

I'd be grateful if some editors would be willing to give me some feedback on Last of the Summer Wine. I still feel it is almost at FA but the editors who tipped the balance to oppose in the last FAC refused to elaborate on what they thought was wrong with the article beyond some vague and cursory comments. I've opened a peer review request at Wikipedia:Peer review/Last of the Summer Wine/archive3‎ if anyone is willing to review the article. Thanks and cheers! Redfarmer (talk) 15:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Articles flagged for cleanup

Currently, 1428 articles are assigned to this project, of which 317, or 22.2%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 14 July 2008.) Are you interested in finding out more? I am offering to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings for details. More than 150 projects and work groups have already subscribed, and adding a subscription for yours is easy - just place a template on your project page.

If you want to respond to this canned message, please do so at my user talk page; I'm not watching this page. --B. Wolterding (talk) 16:29, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Skins characters

I've never seen the show, but ran across Cassie Ainsworth recently because she's been added to the Category:Fictional bisexuals. The article is a joke - it's written almost entirely in-universe, and the only references are to episodes of the show. I thought maybe it was the one character, but Sid Jenkins is the same way.

Is there any reason not to scrap the characters and redirect them all to List of Skins characters? Do any of the characters actually pass the notability standards of WP:FICT? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Discussion on changes to WP:APPRENTICE

There is currently a discussion on whether WP:APPRENTICE should be expnded from being UK-focused to worldwide-focused. If anyone wants to join the WikiProject they can, and you can join in on the discussion here. Dalejenkins | 13:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I've recently been adding coordinates to List of Time Team episodes, using {{coord}}, which emits a Geo microformat. The set of coordinates can then be mapped, with episode titles, on Google Maps or similar tools, exported to Google Earth as a KML file, or exported to GPS devices using GXP. Are there any other lists of episodes, for programmes where each episode comes from a single, different location each time, and which would benefit from similar treatment? Things like Grand Designs, perhaps? Antiques Roadshow? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 23:01, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Postman Pat

Does anyone want to help work on Postman Pat? I've cleaned up the article a bit as it was full of fancruft and I do want to make it a GA. So if anyone wants to help, that'd be great. Thanks. TwentiethApril1986 (talk) 12:21, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review

I'd appreciate it if any members of this project could spend a bit of time and participate in the review of Survivors (2008). Thanks, Deadly∀ssassin 23:15, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Doctor Who at FAR

I have nominated Doctor Who for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Cirt (talk) 02:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Dead Set Plot proofing, please?

As part of my ongoing plot summary mission through WP Horror, Films, and TV I just took a hatchet to the episode summaries of Dead Set, the Big Brother/zombie series that aired on E4 in 2008. However, I'm a U.S. user, so American English is my reflex. Since it's a U.K. show, it seemed appropriate to ask if someone here could double check my efforts and fix any U.K. English usage and spelling errors I may have missed. I don't watch this page (though goodness knows I watch enough U.K. TV I should probably start) so please direct replies to either the Dead Set talk page or my own. Thanks in advance if you can help.

Thunderbirds timeline: Apparent inconsistencies

As I understand it, there's a good deal of debate over the timeline of Thunderbirds (TV series).

The series is apparently definitely set in the 21st century, with the consensus being that it takes place 100 years from the production of the shows (circa 2065).

Our article on the character Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward states that she is twenty-six years old and was born in 1939. It also states that her factotum Parker was born in 1913.

Can someone familiar with these matters check this?

List of Bob the Builder episodes

This page directly has many issues. This page is the mail problem the others need work but can be done at another time. All of the episodes are not correct or confussing between the the US and UK titles. Also the page has two different formats going. it needs to be refreshed. The air dates I am not sure that they are correct. Something needs to be done about this article. This is all I can think of art this time but I am sure there is alot more wrong and need s to be fixed. Hope this helps so far and we can do something about the articleSaylaveer (talk) 21:07, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Updates to TV#MOS

I'm not sure how many people monitor WP:MOSTV or even WP:TV (the basic WikiProject for all of us), but we've been trying to get some feedback on additions to the TV Manual of Style. It largely has to do with the inclusion of "Overview" tables at the start of the page, the order in which season lists are presented (currently, there is no concrete order), and what is considered too much info for DVDs (i.e. should we be placing every detail about the box set in the article, from each interview to the aspect ratio, or should be keep it more generalized). Please see discussion at WT:MOSTV#Updates to the MOS. Thank you.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

University Challenge 2011

I notice that this article, and the other University Challenge series articles, use the date on which the series finishes, rather than 2010–11. I'm not sure why, but thought I better ask here first before moving all the pages. Thanks. —Half Price 21:03, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Seasons episode list

Mhiji (talk · contribs) has moved a large number of season episode lists. Since there has been no consensus building discussions about the naming of these episode lists, I have started a discussion at WT:NC-TV. Thank you. —Farix (t | c) 03:52, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Britain's Worst Driver

Can someone take a look at this article, it provides very little information apart from the spin-offs of the show. --Svgalbertian (talk) 18:29, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
