Line 1: ==merge with [[The O.C. episode plotlines]]== ~~<h3 style="-moz-border-radius: 15px; text-align: left; padding: 5px; background: #DC143C">[[Image:Crystal 128 gadu.png\|25px]] Welcome, {{PAGENAME}}!</h3>~~ Okay, so - there are two episode list articles for this series, [[Episodes of The O.C.]] and [[O.C. Episodes]]. This article has more information, so any extra stuff in the other one needs to be copied across, and then "O.C. Episodes" needs to be deleted. I have no knowledge of this programme so i cant really do it myself. I think this one then needs to be renamed to "List of The O.C. episodes" as its a more conventional name for episode lists (which i cant do because theres already a redirect page there). -- <span style="border:1px solid #ccc;background:#eee; padding:1px">[[User:Jeffthejiff\|<span style="color:#333;font-weight:bold">jeffthejiff</span>]]</span> <span style="font-size:80%;color:#999">([[User_talk:Jeffthejiff\|<span style="color:#999;">talk</span>]])</span> 15:04, 17 November 2005 (UTC) I realise people are spending a lot of time on this page; it's good work. I don't want to interupt and mess up your work. However, is there any way someone could put per-series episode numbers in here? It would probably be more useful than the overall episode number in most cases. For example; "s03e17" as well as "68".--[[User:CalPaterson\|CalPaterson]] 21:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC) ~~<div style="padding: 3px; text-align: left; background-color: #CADABA;">~~ I agree with Cal on the S(season)E(episode #) idea. I also think that we should create a suitable template and start making episode articles.--[[User:Rikkyc\|Rikkyc]] 03:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC) Hello, {{PAGENAME}}, and '''[[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers\|welcome]]''' to Wikipedia!

[[User:Iorek85\|Iorek85]] made a good point on the talk page of the main [[Talk:The_O.C.#.22Spoilers.22_for_season_4\|O.C.]] article by stating that the source of the season 4 spoilers isn't even appropriate for Wikipedia and that verifiable facts and viewpoints should be presented, not unconfirmed rumours, and especially not as fact. Furthermore, stressing the fact that [[WP:Not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball\|Wikipedia is not a crystal ball]]. Therefore I think the season 4 episodes should be removed from this article for now, until the season 4 episodes have aired, only then when all the facts be known. -- [[User:Ryan2807\|Ryan2807]] 13:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC) ~~It is frowned upon to re-create deleted articles [[User:Brookie\|Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp !]] [[User talk:Brookie\|<sup>(Whisper...)</sup>]] 17:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)~~ :Reveretd and isnerted {Future television}. <font face="Tahoma">[[User:MatthewFenton\|{{{2\|MatthewFenton}}}]] ([[User talk:MatthewFenton\|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/MatthewFenton\|contribs]])</font> 13:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC) ::What was the reliable source? FOX is a reliable source, but none of the fansites or spoiler sites are. The titles for the eps are fine, they seemed to be accurate enough last season, but the details are just rumour, unless, as the template says, they came from interviews or preview clips.

[[User:Bignole\|Bignole]] 12:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC) I have tried several times to add the new title but seemed someone did not allowed me to add it? What happened?

We should consider converting to {{tl\|Episode list}} and getting all episode summaries down to 2 lines maximum.. keeping longer synopses to the individual pages. <small>[[User:MatthewFenton\|Matthew Fenton]] ([[User talk:MatthewFenton\|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/MatthewFenton\|contribs]])</small> 16:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC) ▲== Article == : What's the best way of converting all the images to wide-screen? I've got ALL the episodes on DVD, so I can do it, but I need to know how big the wide-screen images should be and how I should add them to the article (should I just replace the existing images?) [[User:Jayden54\|Jayden54]] 16:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC) :If you have them on DVD that's great - the best way is to upload a new version over the present (click the image and scroll to the bottom) - Generally when getting images I resize to 66.77% of the original (thats around the size of most of these/the season 4 ones) - ones that need doing are: [[:Image:OC-101.jpg]], [[:Image:OC-103.jpg]], [[:Image:OC-112a.JPG]], [[:Image:OC-111.jpg]], [[:Image:OC-210.jpg]], [[:Image:OC-215.jpg]], [[:Image:OC-223.jpg]], [[:Image:OC-304.jpg]], [[:Image:OC-305.jpg]], [[:Image:OC-307.jpg]], [[:Image:OC-309.JPG]], [[:Image:OC-310.JPG]] - All the others should be a'okay - When all synopsises are trimmed down and the tables are converted it should start looking pretty good :) - Hoepfully ill be able to do some work converting them soon. <small>[[User:MatthewFenton\|Matthew Fenton]] ([[User talk:MatthewFenton\|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/MatthewFenton\|contribs]])</small> 17:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC) :: I've just uploaded a new version of [[:Image:OC-210.jpg]], let me if that's what you want, and I'll do the others, except for season 1, because I don't have the wide-screen version of that (only the regular 720x480 version).

It seems like whoever named them tried to sum up the plot of the episode, and they didn't use the actual episode title given by Fox or whoever names these episodes. Hello., Thank you for your awareness. i am creating one title called '''Min Sheng Bank''', the only private bank of China now. I submitted my article several times because I found it instantly dissappeared, I thought that was a systemic error. But soon I noticed that Brookie constantly deleted that article> I have checked the policy of accuracy on an article. I consider my original one was proper and clear and meet the quality of Wiki. I also checked the reason of deletion. It was noted as A7. Since a speedy deletion occured. I request a cautious treatment on the article I edited. Also, another important title '''Hua Xia bank''' was also deleted by Brookie. That article has been there for a period of time and retained good creditability. I request the recovery of this two articles. Thanks a lot! [[User: hulaa ]] I fixed it.[[User:Seeninator\|Seeninator]] 07:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC) == Title of episode 2.13 == ~~:The best place for your request is [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]]. ---[[User:J.smith\|J.S]] <sup>([[User_talk:J.smith\|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/J.smith\|C]])</sup> 20:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)~~ [[User:Adelyna\|Adelyna]] and I have been in a minor dispute lately about the name of episode 2.13 which I believe is called "The Test", and Adelyna believes it's called "The Father Knows Best". [http://www.fox.com/oc/recaps/213.htm According to the official website] it's called "The Test", so I'm almost certain I'm right, but Adelyna claims that the DVD of the second season lists it as "The Father Knows Best", but I can't verify this since I don't have the DVD myself. For now I've reverted all of Adelyna's actions, and will continue to do so under the assumption that it's called "The Test" (which would make more sense considering the plot of that episode). Cheers, [[User:Jayden54\|Jayden54]] 07:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC) ~~Hi, I have requested to the cabal, I think the dispute could be solved. Thank you for your attention! [[User: Hulaa]]~~ :I just did a quick Google check, and it appears that the episode is called "The Father Knows Best" on the DVD (see [http://www.amazon.com/O-C-Complete-Second-Season/dp/B0009K7QZ8]), but I think we should stick we the original title, which is also listed on the official website.

[[User:Matthew\|Matthew]] 07:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC) ==Single episodes== I plan on redirecting these per [[WP:EPISODE]] soon. Information from multiple secondary sources must be present for a single episode to need an article. This includes reception and development. Single plot summaries and trivia don't make a substantial article. I suggest [http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia Wikia] and [http://www.tv.com/ tv.com] as alternate venues for this information. [[User:TTN\|TTN]] 21:27, 30 May 2007 (UTC) == Episode naming == I noticed the episodes that need to be disambiguated from other things have the extension ''(The O.C. episode)'' rather than the conventional just ''(The O.C.)''. I would like to move all of the episodes to conform to the [[WP:TV-NC]] standards, but want to make sure I am doing the right thing and that this isn't a special exemption like for ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode articles. Let me know. '''<font color="FF4500">[[User:Bmitchelf\|bmitchelf]]</font>'''•[[User talk:Bmitchelf\|T]]•'''''<font color="FF0000">[[User:Bmitchelf/Favorites\|F]]</font>''''' 05:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
