Talk:Glee season 5

Unreliable sources for episode titles

There have been a great number of edits adding episode titles: most without any sources at all, and some with sources that are clearly not reliable, and some that may seem to be reliable but really aren't. Please remember that fan-based sources like wikias, tumblrs, and larger, fancier sites that look more professional but do not have the fact checking and editorial standards required of reliable sources should never be used. These problematic sources include:

• The various Glee wikias, tumblrs, and fan sites, including GleekOut Brasil and MJsbigblog
• IMDb, TV.com, SpoilerTV.com
• Hypable and similar "by fans for fans" sites
• Wetpaint
• BroadwayWorld.com (which has relied uncritically on the above for information, and not obtained independent confirmation)

Absent a reliable source, information on episode titles, writers, directors, production codes, short plot summaries, and so on should not be added to the article. Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper or gossip magazine: information should wait to be added until it can be verified using reliable sources. Many thanks.

• Just added Wetpaint to the above list per Wikipedia's reliable sources noticeboard: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 162#Press websites/videos. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Reception section

A large Reception section table was added that pushes down other, more important information on the page, and effectively repeats the Episode section information with the sole addition of rating/share data (a single field). This is duplicative without adding an adequate amount of useful new information, and I don't believe should be added to the season article. For an incomplete season, it's made more obtrusive by having large blank areas for not yet aired (or produced) episodes. I don't think it belongs in this article, so I have removed it.

But if it takes up too much space, why can't you just have it under the sections of production and cast? That way, the reception section would be at the end of the article and it would´t take up too much unnecessary space. And I think the section would make the article seem more professional and more developed, if you see my point. Many wikipedia pages have this section, and I think those pages seems like they have control over the useful information about the season. Twotimer17 (talk) 22:29, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I'll be honest: I don't see the value of a large table for a single piece of information, the 18–49 ratings/share. This strikes me as a classic example of WP:INDISCRIMINATE—statistics that don't add much and don't really belong in the article, but take up a lot of room. If the ratings/share information truly belonged, it would be in the episode table itself. (If it has to be included, though, putting it last where it doesn't displace more important information is the least disruptive place for it.) BlueMoonset (talk) 14:05, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Colour contrast problems

It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
