[edit] New format

The format of the episode lists takes after my original format from List of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. Ideally these would happen:

  • A screenshot for each episode
  • A concise description of each episode in the list
  • A full overview/synopsis of each episode would go on [[EPISODE NAME (NUMB3RS episode)]]
  • A season infobox on each episode (see Volcano (South Park episode))
  • A succession box at the bottom of each episode (again see Volcano (South Park episode))

[edit] Separate pages for separate seasons

I noticed the page was getting larger and with season 3 coming soon, I thought I might separate the seasons into their own page so they can be expanded with more information as well, without making the main page too long and big. -- Ladida 14:19, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

There are other episode lists that are much longer than 3 seasons. For example, list of South Park episodes. Cburnett 03:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

I don't think it's a good idea to copy blind episode spoilers from Spoilerfix.com. (Season three episodes from "Brutus" on are from Spoilerfix) 1. They are not being credited as the source 2. They are frequently wrong 3. A simple shorter description after the episode airs would give better information. --LadyShelley 22:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Credit the source!

If you are going to insist on copying verbatim a source have the decency to credit it. I have half a mind to go through and delete any spoilers that are copied over from spoilerfix.com --LadyShelley 05:07, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

If content has been copied verbatim from a non-GFDL source then it must be removed. Cburnett 05:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I will remove any episode descriptions that are pulled directly from spoilerfix (or any other site for that matter). --LadyShelley 19:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Just make sure that the other site didn't copy WP's text first. :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cburnett (talk • contribs) 21:10, 14 March 2007 (UTC).
Unfortunately that's not how it works. Spoilerfix gets their info from script calls and the like. they aren't getting any info from here.  :-) --LadyShelley 21:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
You did say "any site" so I thought I'd clarify. Cburnett 22:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Massive copyright violation

The descriptions of all episodes from #311 on are taken word-for-word from the TV.com website[1]. I believe this is a copyright violation. I suggest the folks who have been consistently editing this article take this opportunity to describe the episodes using their own words; the Wikipedia copyright policy indicates that such violations need to be removed from articles. Since this is such a well-maintained page generally, there are probably enough editors familiar with the program to be able to clean this up without having the rest of their work adversely affected.

[edit] Episode 209

Hi guys, in episode 209, there's a suspect on a pile of a load of explosives with a flare and the cops have surrounded him. If the man drops the flare they all die, if he surrenders he could go to jail/be executed for his crime, so he's stuffed either way. David Krumholtz comes up with more magical math, he says if you give the man more leverage, he'll be able to negotiate to a desirable peaceful outcome. What was this equation (or whatever) called please? Ryan4314 (talk) 08:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
