[edit] Episode 3

can someone put a summary for ep 3

[edit] Episode 4 - Hell on Wheels

  • I have started a rough plot synopsis for episode 4. Not the same quality as prior work done by others. Anyone else watching? Care to help? --Tony Hecht 00:07, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Episode 5 - Casualties of War

  • I posted my synopsis for episode 5. I think it could use some help. Anyone else watching? --Tony Hecht 04:16, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
I added info in the last paragraph about Voices that Carry's resistance to assimilation. I really like that kid. I didn't go into specifics, but I can if you want.
Sounds good User:63.205.15.186 re: "Voices that Carry". Please expand on it. I like that kid too. maltmomma 03:17, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Headings

  • I've tried to make each episode into a "heading" in order to have a Table of Contents but Episode 3 will not convert. Every other episode will. Does anyone know why? I used the === === on either side but it won't change. maltmomma 15:57, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • I tried, and it seems to work. Take a look at my edit and see what I did differently. --Tony Hecht 04:23, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
Thanks Tony, I think the problem was I was trying to use 3 === instead of 2 == like you used. Looks good! Appreciate the help. maltmomma 15:27, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Episode 6 - Ghost Dance

Well done, User:Tony619. Definitely a good start! --J. J. 03:14, 2005 July 26 (UTC)

[edit] a trivia section?

There's no "background information" or "trivia" section into which I can edit, and I don't wish to add one superflously. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4820582.stm is an interesting article, and would be interesting as a footnote or such. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 17:18, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Timeline and Family Tree sections

Could somebody create a timeline for the events depicted in the mini-series, as well as a fictional genealogyfor the Wheeler Family ant the Lakota people in different articles? RobertCMWV1974 20:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccuracies?

  • Episode 3 showed Quantrill's raiders operating prior to the outreak of civil war. Is this right?
  • Episode 2 showed the death of a character whose leg was broken after the "doctor" took an hour and a half to amputate the lower leg. Most surgeons of the time were very quick at this (survival not being guaranteed) and even allowing for incompetance the action of a saw would surely permit mush quicker action than this. If it did take this long surely the patient would have died of blood loss long before 90 minutes was up? Dainamo 23:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Into the West.jpg

Image:Into the West.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DVD is missing scenes

In trying to find a citation source for the missing scenes in the DVD, I found this page on Amazon.com: [1]. One poster included a short list of missing scenes:

"A few of the cut scenes appear to be: 1.) Kerri Russel's character towards the end of episode two is dragged away from her indian family; 2.)Sitting Bull's sundance prior to the Little Bighorn; 3.)Episode 6 - hodgekiss guns during battle of Wounded Knee."

Apparently there is also a 6 disc set which may be unedited. [2]
