[edit] Ranks

"Detective 3rd Grade"is NOT a rank in the NYPD. The detective designations go as follows:

Detective - Investigator Detective - Specialist Detective - 2nd Grade Detective - 1st Grade

[edit] Actual body found while filming

I don't know what is considered a credible source here at wiki, but while filming an actual "near mumified" body was found.

I googled it and found more sites that have reported on it. I can't be certain wether it is actually true or not, but if it is, it would make for a good bit of trivia.The Real Stucco 04:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I thought this would make for a better source.

The link states that this was confirmed by CBS.The Real Stucco 04:46, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dec 20 episode

Does anyone know who and what song was the first song on the December 20 episode of CSI NY? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Karen0215 (talk • contribs) 06:26, 20 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Thurs. Jan. 3rd ending song

What is the title of the song that the show ended with on the 3rd? And who was singing it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.153.117.112 (talk) 02:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Main Characters

For ease of reading, the Main Characters section should be moved around so that the name of the character is first. As it stands, it's not as easy as it could be to look up a certain person as you've got to read different lengths across each line to find the person's name. CrashCart9 04:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Good point. Taking care of that next. -- Redfarmer 23:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main Characters (Mac)

In the episode "Charge of This Post" Mac's USMC ID is briefly shown, and states his rank was (at one time) lieutenant, so I added that information.

[edit] Music

In the paintballing episode, when the rogue cop is arrested, does anybody know the name of the music that's playing.84.13.120.60 01:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

If I remembered correctly, it was Keane - Atlantic. Chibiheart 14:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a lot.84.13.120.60 01:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Renewal

Is there any news of this show being renewed for a fourth season? All the csi articles are fairly unspecific on the future of the shows.

All three have been renewed. - Triviaa 18:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stella's HIV Test

Might this warrant a new section on the page? Much of what is in her character description now is about HIV, not the character. - Triviaa 18:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup of article

I would like to propose a major cleanup of this page as it is beginning to get cluttered and messy. The first thing I want to do is condense the cast list. What the article for the original CSI has done, and quite successfully, is to only list on the main page those characters who have appeared in the opening credits of the show, past or present. Any recurring characters are listed on a seperate page which is linked from the cast section. Any comments/suggestions/objections? -- Redfarmer 19:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree with this proposal. The original CSI page is much easier to read and to navigate. Shawn W 02:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
I've began some major cleanup to this article, added new production sections, and am cleaning up the character sections. As a general rule, only those who are/have been listed in the opening credits should be listed on the main page. Others should be listed on Minor characters in CSI: NY. -- Redfarmer 23:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, for the record, here's what I did today. I would love some feedback as I do not like the prospect of doing all of this by myself:

  • Cleaned up character sections by deleting enormously long and cumbersome titles, making it easier to navigate, and moving recurring characters to Minor characters in CSI: NY article.
  • Taken out cumbersome information in the opening two paragraphs of the article and moved to sections of their own.
  • Added production section with information on filming locations, music, and crew. This should be pretty solid for now unless someone wants to expand with more information. I did not expand because I could find no more sources.
  • Added information on CSI franchise (novels, comic books, video game).
  • Added crossover section for crossovers between CSI: NY and both CSI: Miami and Cold Case. I don't see how this can be expanded without becoming an episode synopsis.
  • Cleaned up "See Also" section.
  • Deleted Trivia section per Wikipedia policy on trivia.

I think I'm done for the day. I'm getting tired I can see since I'm beginning to forget to sign comments lol. -- Redfarmer 00:20, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

I added a Trivia template to help clean up this page Shawn W 02:38, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

After looking over the trivia section, I do not believe there was anything relevant that could have or should have been integrated into the article so I deleted the secion. -- Redfarmer 23:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

After a related character discussion, I added some sourcing to the introduction and filming (also added episode specific re: Chicago). These weren't any substantial changes. I'm working on an overhaul of the character information and attempting to source it, which I will continue to work on and update as needed so as not to have the same information in three places.

[edit] Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series

I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 16:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
