Talk:Top Gear (series 1)

[edit] Copyright

Disagree Agree, I'm afraid User:CorenSearchBot is right. This article does look almost identical to the referenced page. --P shadoh (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC) Changed vote; see below. --P shadoh (talk) 01:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

It'll be cleanedup, just give me some time to clean it up. You're welcomed to help if you know anything about the show. El Greco(talk) 16:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I've seen some of the more recent episodes, but none from '02. I'll see what I can do, though. --P shadoh (talk) 18:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Disagree, the referenced page is actually a copy of an old version of the episode list page (when the episode list template wasn't being used and it was largely coloured green). The author of the referenced page are the ones who have violated copyright. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 00:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC) Additional proof - Found a similar example from the page history for List of Top Gear episodes. If you look further back in the history you can see the natural progression of the article as each part was added in stages, not copied as a whole. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 00:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC) Even further proof - The picture in the referenced link is actually stored on Wikipedia servers. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 00:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Huh, well I hope that puts the issue to rest. Good work Peteb16. El Greco(talk) 00:31, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, sorry I didn't spot it earlier before you went through all that copyediting. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 00:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
No worries, I actually think this is a better layout than before. What do you think? El Greco(talk) 00:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Actually I do prefer it, it seems much more pleasant to read. Very good work and thanks for adding the guests to the other list too. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 00:38, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Agreed; I like it as well. You might want to put in a heading. E.G., "this is a list of episodes for Top Gear..." etc. --P shadoh (talk) 00:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
How does that intro look? El Greco(talk) 01:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Nice! --P shadoh (talk) 01:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I do agree with your point, Peteb16, but just because it was copied off of a copy of a copy... doesn't negate the fact that it violates copyright. However, I am inclined to change my vote given this new information, not to mention all the edits El Greco has done. Nice investigative work. --P shadoh (talk) 00:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Color usage

IMHO the new coloring scheme proposed is not an improvement. Although the different sections are more visually separated, the colors are "loud" and the contrast between the text in the table header and its background is too low (i.e. it's hard to read). Please consider reverting to the orginial format (as present on Series 2 to 10). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.86.115.87 (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
