:It should be [[I Do (Lost)]] and not [[I Do (Lost episode)]] per [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television)|naming conventions]]. –'''[[User:thedemonhog|<span style="color:#B22222">thedemonhog</span>]]''' <small>''[[User talk:thedemonhog|<span style="color:green">talk</span>]] • [[Special:Contributions/thedemonhog|<span style="color:green">edits</span>]]''</small> 04:55, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

::I would also spell out the series, to prevent any possible future conflicts as well, eg "[[Entropy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)]]". --[[User:Masem|M<fontspan sizestyle="font-3size:x-small;">ASEM</fontspan>]] 05:08, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

:Using the network descriptions/recaps of episodes ''is'' a copyright violation. We expect editors to craft their own non-interpretative summaries from the primary work to use for episode lists and pages. --[[User:Masem|M<fontspan sizestyle="font-3size:x-small;">ASEM</fontspan>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 20:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

::I always try to avoid network/production company descriptions even when other people don't. When I was working on the [[List of That Girl episodes]] I left a lot of descriptions blank, while I believe others may have swiped them from IMDb and other sources. I don't think whole lists should be elimiated because of all these copyvios, though. ----[[User:DanTD|DanTD]] ([[User talk:DanTD|talk]]) 02:21, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

:::It most certainly is a copyright violation. I haven't read through all the policies and guidelines recently, but I'm pretty sure this was explicitly stated at one point. [[User:Jay32183|Jay32183]] ([[User talk:Jay32183|talk]]) 23:58, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

:::In response to DanTD, definitely it is the case that if the episode descriptions seem pulled from an external site , they should be removed, but the whole list shouldn't be removed because of that. --[[User:Masem|M<fontspan sizestyle="font-3size:x-small;">ASEM</fontspan>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 00:11, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

::::I'm glad you agree that the whole list shouldn't be removed. It seems most of the copyvios were made by [[User:Hardy1956]]. The main issue now is how we're going to do a total rewrite. ----[[User:DanTD|DanTD]] ([[User talk:DanTD|talk]]) 01:55, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
