Talk:List of H2O: Just Add Water episodes

Spoilers

I have noticed that somebody has been giving away episode summaries before they air in Australia. I think we should wait and not give the plot away to people who haven't seen the episodes yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by XxH2Oluverxx (talk • contribs) 22:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, though the one adding it is saying that they have already aired in another country. Regardless, they really shouldn't be added until after the home-country airs. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 06:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Not Agreed! It's an encyclopedia not an H2O sponsored advertisement. In the spirit of making the maximum possible knowledge available, all seasons should be available. If we follow your argument, all summaries of all episodes (or any summary of any book on wikipedia) should be removed just in case not every person on earth had a chance to watch them ... clearly not reasonable. They have been aired in Belgium and Netherlands. Maybe we can add a spoiler warning at the beginning. (it was suggested days ago and removed. At least the titles should be left in, but I vote also for the summaries.— wik!_t (t • @ • c) 15:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I can see both sides of the story here. Though I wasn't logged in at the time, I have been providing the summaries for these episodes. I am aware of the fact that in Australia, these episodes haven't been aired yet, but I thought I was doing something good by - as the previous contributor said - making the maximum possible knowledge available. I am prepared to put summaries for the remaining episodes up, but I'm also prepared to do this only as they air in Australia, or do it with a spoiler warning. I'm not going to force my opinions nor summaries on anybody; it's up to you. — Calliope_epoillaC (t • @ • c) 19:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I have heard about other countries airing the series and I think your point on maximum possible knowledge is very important too. I agree that the names of the episodes should be left in aswell. But in Australia they have only aired up to episode 17. Many people would not want to know what happens next by spoilers, but watch them to see for themselves. I think that what was suggested, putting the episode names in, is reasonable. Some fans of the show may not want to know what happens next and that would ruin the other episodes for them. Some people may want to know so, as they air in Australia or maybe one or two days before, we could put in the summaries for each episode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by XxH2Oluverxx (talk • contribs) 21:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the episode names and Australian airdates are fine for inclusion, it was the summaries I was concerned with. I'm curious, though, where are the episode names coming from? I can find no sources for any of them (they aren't included anywhere in the broadcast and there have been no press kits issued for this season). — Huntster (t • @ • c) 22:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

That's a good idea to include the airdates for Australia aswell as the names of the episodes. The episode names are coming from, possibly, people who are from Netherlands or Belgium. Maybe there is some other source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by XxH2Oluverxx (talk • contribs) 22:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I still disagree with the notion of suppressing available information. Wikipedia is not about protecting people form possibly "harmful" facts. In the case of a television show this is relatively minor problem. In the greater content of information management, this is a horrendous problem that wikipedia has to deal with all over the place. The current solution of simply leaving out the summaries for the latter episodes seems dicey. But since we are only talking a couple of weeks, and the issue is a fairly trivial one, I think it would be silly to fight about this.

— wik!_t (t • @ • c) 16:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering about the episode names as well, but then I found the website of the channel the episodes were aired on (Nederland 3). When I looked up the programme schedule, I saw that the names were mentioned there, so that's where I got them. — Calliope_epoillaC (t • @ • c) 19:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I agree with the fact that it isn't fair, however I can see both sides of the story. After all, there might be someone who can't watch H20 and would like to read about it, or someone in Australia might want to watch it or read about it online earlier. I think this could be resolved by maybe writing the episode plots, while not giving away too much. That way, when people in Australia have watched it, they can add in facts. Or, there could be 2 pages. The English/American page for it, and the Australian page for it. Vitual aelita (talk) 18:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Even if we write in the episode plots we are giving away something. Many people do not want their viewing to be spoiled and watch the episode for themselves. The series is almost finished so there wouldn't be much point to filling the summaries in.

Vandalism

A couple of days ago, I was looking at the Australian air dates, and found that all of season 1 had been deleted!

It was reverted, but we should look out for this, as it has happened 3 times now. Vitual aelita (talk) 19:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Someone has been writing fake episodes summaries for series 3. (Which are ridiculous both plotwise and spellingwise...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.73.151 (talk) 14:18, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Summary

I was wondering if the summary of each episode is done right. I mean, if this is an encyclopedia, shoudn't the summary be complete, not like an advert for atracting watchers "Will Lewis arrive in time to save the mermaid secret?" that sort of thing. I think that it shoud say exactly what happens "...but Louis comes in time to save the girls secret." I don't mean any disrespect to the one that made the summary, but I don't think that kind of thing works on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bia deadly delight (talk • contribs) 12:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

You are absolutely correct. Also, the problem exists that people are pulling summaries from the australiantelevision.net/h2o website and pasting them here, which is a copyright violation. I'm no longer able to watch the series, so I cannot contribute. If you would like to do so, please feel free to write brief summaries in place of the ones currently there. If you need any assistance, let me know. (This reply goes for anyone who would like to contribute, so long as the summary is encyclopaedic and, well, not written at a fifth grade level :) — Huntster (t • @ • c) 14:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

For those who wish to help you might find this website helpful as episodes 29-51 are available to watch there. Also this page is apparently a copyright violation of http://australiantelevision.net/h2o as already stated above by hunster. I would help but with my writing ability it would probably be better to have the copyright violations. ;) Alexfusco⁵ 15:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Huntster,what do you mean you cannot watch H2O any longer? Also why was spoiler alerts abolished? It's nice to know that there is something there that stops you from reading something you do not wish to find out on this website until you see it.Nosebutton (talk) 22:17, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I used to be able to watch online, but don't have that option now. As for spoiler alerts, they used to be placed in articles just to warn people as you say, however, it was determined amongst a wide number of editors that they were unnecessary and in fact detremental to the website. We do not censor material and we do not hold people's hands on the pages they visit. Do not replace such an alert either here or on any other Wikipedia page. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 23:52, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay Huntster. Thank you for that info. Forgive me if I am getting on your nerves. But you don't need to be so blunt!"Don't replace such an alert on here or any other wikpedia page!" Okay I am sorry if I've angered you. If I wasn't saved,I probably would've ben angry. But the bible tells us to love others as you would like to be loved. I mean, Treat your neighbors the way you would like to be treated. God bless you Huntster.Nosebutton (talk) 00:15, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Just because I am blunt does not mean I am angry. I just do not believe it is necessary to expend unnecessary words on flowery language. When I am angry is when I tend to get more wordy. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 00:20, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Huntster,

Please forgive me for calling you blunt. I didn't mean it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nosebutton (talk • contribs) 04:12, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Done

There I put a spoiler alert on the episode article.Nosebutton (talk) 00:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Nosebutton, we do not place spoiler alerts on articles. This was done a couple of years ago, but has been abolished since. We aren't here to protect readers from themselves. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 04:45, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Terminology

I noticed that in many places each year is referred to as "series one" and "series two". I'm not familiar with the show, and don't have access to it (that I'm aware of). My question is: would it be better to say "season one" and "season two" rather than series? — Ched (talk) 15:31, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

example: The following is an episode list for the Australian television show H2O: Just Add Water, which airs on Network Ten, Disney Channel Australia, Nickelodeon, Nickelodeon UK and other television networks worldwide. The series premiered on 7 July 2006, and season two concluded on 21 March 2008. A third season is being filmed for broadcast in early 2009.[1]

Since I'm from the US, and I know there are subtle differences in the Aussie language, I'm hesitant to just change it. — Ched (talk) 15:59, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Heh, this is indeed a language difference (are we following each other in circles? lol). Most of the English-speaking world uses "series" to describe different sets of episodes. The U.S. is pretty much alone with "season". — Huntster (t • @ • c) 22:20, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm ... glad I didn't edit. So much I don't know about the world outside the US .. lol. — Ched (talk) 16:50, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

date time

when is the date of series three broadcasting? Nosebutton (talk) 18:16, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Some say it's in October, but, personally, I've never seen any (official) sources that say when the (official) air date is. ... BEst wishes, Tina1812talkova1995 (talk) 18:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Apparently Nick UK just announced that series 3 will be airing there in mid-October, so I would assume that it will air before or around that same time in Australia (thus coinciding with the long-standing rumours of an October release). I'm disappointed that the producer hasn't been more active in promoting the new series. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 10:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for telling us. : ) Btw, just a question - where exactlly did you read/see it? If it's somewhere on the Net, could you give me the link, please? Best wishes, Tina T. 14:27, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Series 3 airs in the uk Monday to Friday from the 26th October at 9am and 5pm (The 5pm showing I assume will be a repeat of the 9am showing.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.236.165 (talk) 21:26, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

That's what I'm seeing too. Very odd that the 8pm showing is a rerun... — Huntster (t @ c) 22:01, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

According to the Sky magazine in UK new episodes will air on Monday 18th, Tuesday 19th & Thursday 21st Janaury at 4.55pm on Nickelodeon (604)

Who keeps edditing the dates of 3.11? What is the source of these dates? Thet keep comming out wrong! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.148.231.3 (talk) 12:03, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I know, last time i checked this page yesterday and it said it will "premiere 5 March 2010" next thing I know, it's not. Checked the listings in sky magazine -- tomorrow's episode is "Lovesick". tv.com says it already premiered 18 November 2009. What is wrong with internet, people?!?! Altarep (talk) 02:17, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

This week, Nickelodeon UK is showing two brand new episodes of season 3 until episode 26! Altarep (talk) 01:21, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Edit summaries

If anybody is wondering why I've changed some edit summaries,[1] one reason is because I've noticed that many of the summaries appear to be copyright violations and chages are required to eliminate these. --AussieLegend (talk) 11:39, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Episodes using ..., etc.

OK, I have been reading over this page and, it may just be me, but it seems to be...not opinionated, but...I don't know what, unencyclopedic I guess. It uses things that I would generally write when creating a fictional story. I can't recall a particular line, but I'll try to make it sound something to do with the plot. "But there's a surprise for Emma-Charlotte discovers she's a mermaid." "But Lewis figures out he's in love with someone...Cleo." "But will the girls be able to keep their secret?" It sounds more...this wouldn't be included in an Encyclopedia, which is exactly what Wikipedia is meant to be. I tried to edit it out, but it's semi-protected, and I don't have an account, so could someone edit this and make it better and less, for lack of a better term, biased, if you feel the way I feel? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.111.171.12 (talk) 23:57, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

You are very correct. Unfortunately, over time, these things have crept in. You know, you are very welcome to create an account, get autoconfirmed status, and make these fixes. With my new job, I just don't have time right now. Or, if you don't want to do that, let me know here and I'd be willing to unprotect for a few days if you want to take on this task. — Huntster (t @ c) 07:54, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Title error

Series 2 episodes #29 and #42 show the same title which is unlikely. I believe #42 is incorrect.--Billymac00 (talk) 03:20, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it was #29 that was incorrect. --AussieLegend (talk) 05:33, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
