[edit] This article will be very short for a while
Since this program has not yet aired, there is not much information about it. Please allow time for me to expand the article as more information becomes available. Thank you. Grundle2600 (talk) 00:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I've got movie night, tonight, because of this, so I'll help as much as I can. Brandonrc2 (talk) 16:21, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Looking much better now, probably since the program has since aired. :) Jmlk17 21:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The World Without Us
Is this at all based on the above book? 71.192.54.222 (talk) 04:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] in-universe
I added the {{in-universe}} tag to this article. It was removed with the summary (removed in-universe tag; this isn't "fiction" theoretical, yes, but not fiction). I disagree. This show is fictional. I have restored the tag. --Elliskev 18:00, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- I disagree it's theoretical, not fictional. If I say that if I drop a lead weight off a building, it will fall to the ground, that's an extrapolation from the theory of gravity not fiction writing. There's no chance of our readers mistaking this article for a history lesson, nor would WP:CRYSTAL apply as we're just explaining the theoretical outcomes suggested by these scientists in this program. Do you have a suggestion as to how the language here could actually be improved? -- Kendrick7talk 18:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

- User:clpo13 has made a good start. I haven't contributed much to this article, so I'll drop it. --Elliskev 19:08, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] A billion cars?
I just watched this last night, and I remember it saying 600 million cars, not 900 as currently in the article... but I deleted it from the tivo so I can't easily check. Is this accurate? --StarChaser Tyger (talk) 12:11, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Genre and Notability of 'Life After People'
find it strange that the HISTORY channel was showing this?--Jakezing (talk) 04:37, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- At one point, those channels (Discovery and its spinoffs, History, A&E, etc) were fairly true to their names, but recently they've come to have any random science stuff, or even soap operas. --StarChaser Tyger (talk) 02:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
I suppose the History Channel stepped into the breach because we don't have an 'Unverifiable Speculation Posing as Science Channel'. Does any contributor wish to make the case why 'Life after People' is worthy of an extensive entry in Wikipedia? Do we have to accept that everything shown on TV, regardless of its worth, is inevitably notable because it is seen by a lot of people and will inevitably have an impact?

Just a note: talk pages are not meant for general discussion regarding the topic. --clpo13(talk) 07:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Citations
On the article's page on the History Channel website, there is a segment of the program. Is it possible to cite this clip? --Mjrmtg (talk) 12:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Flooding
Amsterdam would take a lot less than 25 years to flood. The protection against the sea may last a few years without maintenance, but the land behind the dikes would fill up with fresh water very quickly without the constant pumping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.132.148.216 (talk) 11:12, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
