[edit] Episode IDs

Would someone please check http://www.scifi.com/eureka/episodes/, I think a mistake might have been made with the ids --pevarnj (t/c/@) 01:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Webisodes

What about the webisodes? aren't they canon as well? --TorriTorriTalk to me! 05:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I'd have added them had I known they existed. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 05:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The List

Is there any reason that the list on this page only goes to S02E08, when the pages have already been written for:

[edit] Episode notability

All of the episodes of this series fail the notability guidelines for television episodes. The way for these articles to be improved is through the inclusion of real-world information from reliable sources to assert notability. That is unlikely to happen, and these only have certain bad aspects (though all may not apply) like containing overly long or one sentence plot summaries, trivia, and quotes. Per that, they need to be a small part of this list.

If there are no objections, these will be redirected soon. Otherwise, discussion will take place here. Please remember that this is not a vote. If you like the information, that's fine and dandy, but your opinion doesn't really count towards anything. The only opinions that do count are ones that that lean towards the inclusion of real world information. TTN 21:25, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Per: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:EPISODE#Dealing_with_problem_articles , I'm going to object to the merge. Looking at your talk page, it seems that rather than try and improve articles, your on a one man campaign to eliminate every television episode page you find. Please consider *improving* the articles, rather than eliminating them outright. Give the nearly one million results on google for Eureka Episodes, I find it highly unlikely that there are insufficient external sources to improve the existing articles.

Remember, mindless destruction for the sake of brevity is *not* a good thing.

  1. Oppose per Carterhawk and the others. This stinks of you whining about not getting your way so you just try to impose your will on lesser-well-known shows. Kuralyov 16:57, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The trouble is....

Whilst I agree that the episodes of Eureka may fail the notability guidelines as mentioned, this failure also applies to many other television series. For instance, there are longer pages devoted to each episode of the original series of Battlestar Galactica, Friends, Futurama etc. If these guidelines are to be applied to Eureka episodes, then all these other programmes should also have the detailed pages removed as, as far as I can tell, they provide no more of the 'real-world analysis and sourced analysis' that the WP criteria require than the Eureka pages and, personally speaking, I can't see why episodes of, for example, Futurama have more social impact that Eureka.

So by all means enforce the guidelines if you have to, but enforce them equally across ALL television programmes - either that or review the WP criteria.

I'm slowly doing that, but as I'm sure you know, there are many, many series to go over. Though, there are other series that can have some episodes pass, so don't be so quick to put all on the same level. Futurama, for example, can probably get ten to twenty up and running.

The more prominent shows are clearly better to make your point, so go there and come back here with precedent, not the other way round. --87.189.71.128

[edit] What about a fan episode I made up?

This is anonymous. It's called Ehreka (pronounced Eh-reka). A Canadian Scientist comes to town, bringing a device that can simulate and make anything. Failsafes have been installed so disaster does not happen. But, when the machine's shelter is hit by lightning, the failsafes are removed. In the local Eureka show set up by him which allows the Scientist to show off his invention, he will show off the failsafe, simulating a miniature black hole and stating that when he presses the "make object" button, it'll beep, saying, in a way, cannot make this. He gets sick before he can perform, so he hires Jack Carter to present. But when he presses the button, it says "in process of making." Now, everybody tries to deactivate it, but one person accidentaly makes it a "supermassive black hole." Now, Jack has only 5 minutes to find the close-by scientist and get him to shut off the machine, because only the scientist knows how to operate the device-and how to deactivate it. This black hole could destroy not only the Earth, not only the Solar System, but the entire galaxy. This could be the end of Eureka-and life.

What?! With all due respect... what?! First off, why are you writing it here? Second off, don't write it here. Third off, Eureka usually toy with some scientific theory bending and using it to make a show. There are honestly so many many bad points with your idea that I dont know where to start, so I wont start to whine about it all but rather... do not write it here. Begone! Thank you. Now I am quite new to wikipedia so can someone please please, with sugar, remove this... fan episode? 213.66.178.225 (talk) 01:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
