Where would you like this added? There is not an international airing section on the page yet, or on any past seasons as well. --Jnorton7558 (talk) 12:12, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

The starting dates for Australia and the UK are already included at the end of the Production section. BlueMoonset (talk) 12:33, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Codifying episode inclusion standard

We came up with an idea for codifying what's needed to include a new episode on the Glee task force talk page, but this page seems a more appropriate venue for that. So here are the proposed rules. Note that, as is true anywhere on Wikipedia, each of these fields requires a reliable source citation included prior to the episode having aired, and episodes are invariably added here that soon. Fan wikis, websites, or tumblrs are not reliable sources, and information included from them, or without citations, will be summarily removed. That's how it works around here.

Here's what everyone will need:

• Episode number in the current season. Goes in "EpisodeNumber2" field. (The number in the series as a whole is easily calculated from that, and goes in "EpisodeNumber" field.)
• Two of the following three fields must also be supplied:

• Episode title. Goes in "Title" field. If you supply this, put your reference/citation in the RTitle field
• Original air date, the day the program is scheduled to air in the US. Goes in "OriginalAirDate" field.
• Short episode synopsis. Goes in the "ShortSummary" field.

The Written by ("WrittenBy") and Directed by ("DirectedBy") fields are optional, and don't count toward any requirement, but are nice to have if you know them and can reference them properly.

Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Let's figure this out now and get it settled. Thank you! BlueMoonset (talk) 01:40, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I think it's generally a very good rule of thumb (certainly I've never been a fan of tables being stretched out with a dozen air dates and absolutely no other information) and I've had no issue with its application these past few months (though re-reading it now, I would perhaps query why a plot summary is given more weight than writer or director). I would say, though, that a situation like the current one - where it's been widely publicized that Glee is going off air for around 2 months - probably merits an exception. I imagine that a lot of traffic to this article and List of Glee episodes over the hiatus will be specifically seeking the series return date, so... while it's not wonderful having only a single parameter filled in, its usefulness in this particular instance probably outweighs that.

I had been wondering about adding the return date in Production, possibly in conjunction with the "two sememsters" idea, since while the nine-episode first semester was done in one mostly contiguous chunk, the second semester is being broken into five episodes and eight episodes separated by a seven-week hiatus. But if you think we should have the hiatus marked by the single returning date—especially since the table is an easy place for people to see the date at a glance—I can see the point to it. I would be against a long list of dates with nothing else, or adding just a date marking the next episode after the final one listed if no other information was available.

As for the two of three pieces of information, I think my reasoning was that the episode summary gave significant information about the episode in the same way that a title might, but the writer or director was less so—and, at the time, less likely to be available ahead of time (though more so now that Twitter's with us, as witness the writer and director for ep 13, and writer for ep 14... but neither for ep 12). I didn't think writer and date or director and date were germane enough in and of themselves, but that might have been parochial of me. So do you think this should be a two-part requirement, with the first part being either title or date, and the second part being one of the other four fields? (So title and date would still be sufficient.) BlueMoonset (talk) 16:24, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I definitely agree re: not adding dates bereft of other information on a regular basis - it's only as this is a significant hiatus that I think an exception is warranted. Adding the return date details to Production sounds like a very good idea - what would you think of perhaps moving the "mini-seasons" sentence down to the third paragraph, marrying it with the other broadcast information? I'm also tempted to move the short fourth paragraph up to near the end of the second, so the filming and recording start dates are in close conjunction - though jumping from the Christmas album back to the first episode may be a bit awkward... I'd forgotten that writer/director info didn't previously tend to be available until post-broadcast. I think opening the requirements up as you outline in your last two sentences would be acceptable, though I do see your point about significant information. Frickative 00:11, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

The Proposal --> Yes/No

The Proposal has been renamed "Yes/No" according to this TV Guide article [1]--Harmony944 (talk) 23:25, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Changed. SchrutedIt08 (talk) 23:40, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

There was another article today that gave the title as "Proposal" without the initial "The", with the episode title coming from Morrison himself. I think we need to be more measured before we rush into changing article names: "Pot o' Gold" went through about four variants of the name in a single weekend. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:45, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Adding: It's at the end of Ausiello's article with Morrison today, with a teaser for another article to come. Heaven only knows who's right. Before I post an episode 10 article, I'm going to wait for title confirmation from another "reliable" source. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:53, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Looks like it has been changed. [2] --Jnorton7558 (talk) 02:14, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

That's pretty definitive. Thanks! And it's kind of funny that Ausiello claims exclusivity when TV Guide beat him to it... BlueMoonset (talk) 02:24, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Not done for now: Fails Wikipedia:Verifiability; no press releases have announced a fourth season, let alone independent coverage. Dru of Id (talk) 21:20, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
