List of Batman: The Animated Series episodes[edit]

I just finished filling the tables. Before, this page was a plane copy-paste of the episode synopsis you can find anywhere on internet...

With the help of some enthusiastic editors, I design and finished this work:

Redesign the tables
Put all images (I also categorized each one), but on the one for leather wings
Added all the credits, airdate and episode number info.
Created the format that will be used when the subarticles finally develope and applied it to several.
Put all the annoying yapping you can read in this talk page :P

I basically took the page from this to THIS. --T-man, the wise 00:42, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Screenshots all lack fair use rationale statements and no references section. Other than that not a bad list at all. -- Ned Scott 03:25, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be more specific? I really want this page the be featured.--T-man, the wise 11:51, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Accurate: Support facts where appropriate with specifics and external citations (see Wikipedia:Verifiability). Includes references where appropriate, arranged in a ==References== section and enhanced by the appropriate use of inline citations (see Wikipedia:Cite sources)." for example, List of The Simpsons episodes#References

Each screenshot must have a fair use statement made on the image's description page, such as the one on Image:SouthPark101.gif#Fair use for List of South Park episodes. -- Ned Scott 11:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no fair use limit size established. Low resolution can meen a "n" number of px sizes. I'm working (even before you complained) on a fair limit. A tv screen can be thirty-something inches and the image will look good. I think 300px qualifies as low resolution. It's 1/10 the sise the image was originally made for. When I said specific, I ment a. what's the rule breaking (cite parameters not vague examples), which pictures are breaking it.--T-man, the wise 21:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You don't seem to understand, I said nothing about the image size. You must write text on the image description page that lists why the image is being used under fair use. This is not a complaint, this is a requirement, not only for featured lists, but also a requirement of the fair use criteria (see #10). -- Ned Scott 22:31, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, please teach me with using this image as an example: Image:LOGO-BTAS.jpg...I'd appreciate it a lot, you seem to know a lot about fair use.--T-man, the wise 01:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever, but please, please, show me how it's done, with that example. I'll take care of the rest as soon as posible.--T-man, the wise 01:42, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, I notice a few statements that have no source cited, such as: "The WB channel wanted more episodes of the series, but with a different format and more focus on Batman's sidekicks, so two new seasons were ordered." -- Ned Scott 15:42, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes I forget that kind of details are too familiar to me because I've read those trivvial facts like a thousand times would *you* help me by adding {{citation needed}} where you think it'd help. --T-man, the wise

oppose per too many red links. Renata 13:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm starting those articles. I've developed 10 stubs. I'll expand the plot to two or three paragraphs and complete the cast section, then move to the next ten stubs. I'm using featured article List of Oh My Goddess episodes as template for this operation.--T-man, the wise 21:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree, that the red links must be eliminated and external citations required. Simpsons and South Park are good examples. But T-Man has done a good job moving this page forward, and I've been glad to help him with his weak areas in grammar and spelling. -- Dyslexic agnostic 17:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Avoid condescending comments when you follow me to comment on a page that is important to me. Avoid sounding like a WP:WEASEL, so that I don't get confused about your intentions, ther was no need to add with his weak areas in grammar and spelling in this page, I felt that was really rude and uncalled for.--T-man, the wise 01:38, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lesson on fair use :) - first of, I really think the images are too big and don't count as "low resolution." There is even the {{Fair use reduce}} to request size reduction. And it seems 300-400px are usually said to be Low res. That means you have to resize them all. Second, you need to provide exact source (where you got the image from, most likely link to some website). Third, you need to provide fair use rationale. General guidelines and examples are available on Help:Image page#Fair use rationale, but need to be specific (i.e. tell what comics that is, who drew it, what does it show, why is it important). The law says that you need to consider 4 points. I would make sure I address them all in a rationale. Also, separate rationales need to written for every article the image is used in. Fourth, limit number of fair use images to the very minimum. You a number of free-standing pictures in the list. I believe they should be limited to only one. E.g this one seems to serve no purpose at all. Questions? :) Renata 04:43, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
