Talk:Regular Show season 3

Summaries

The summaries provided for the episodes are original research, therefore they are undesirable. Use the summaries provided by TV Guide instead of the extensive ones we have now. Whisternefet (talk) 19:45, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Your summaries are all plagiarized. If we can't write our summaries, we shouldn't have summaries at all. I will delete your plagiarism. Ratemonth (talk) 20:11, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

But... it's not plagiarism. The summaries are all properly cited. These summaries are officially used for cable providers. You clearly don't understand the meaning behind original research and why Wikipedia doesn't allow for it. Wikipedia doesn't allow for original summaries without it being extensively sourced, which they were until I corrected them. Refer to this link to see what I mean.

Wikipedia doesn't allow you to steal words from other sites. Don't. Ratemonth (talk) 20:25, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Your summary for Stick Hockey says "Benson helps the guys recover their stick-hockey table, which he threw away." Tvguide.com's summary says "Benson helps the guys recover their stick-hockey table, which he threw away." That is incredibly obvious plagarism.Ratemonth (talk) 20:28, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

You need to refer to WP:Original research which says "Despite the need to attribute content to reliable sources, you must not plagiarize them or violate their copyrights. Articles should be written in your own words while substantially retaining the meaning of the source material." If you can't stand other people watching the show and writing a summary here, then at least don't steal summaries from other websites. That already got the main Regular Show article deleted once by administrators. Ratemonth (talk) 20:35, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

As a retrospective sort of thing, sorry for misunderstanding what you were trying to say. I get it now. Whisternefet (talk) 03:07, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Episode summaries and notability

Not to discredit the show by any means, but Regular Show isn't notable enough to be as elaborated as some may want them to be. The article(s) including succeeding and preceding season pages, as well as the main page), as shown on the top of this page, have been "rated as Low-importance on the WikiProject Television project's importance scale."

For articles like these, only a good one or two sentences are good enough to explain more simple 11-minute episode such as these. More complex episode may warrant more elaboration, but so far the episodes provided don't warrant that much extraneous explanation. More in-depth reasoning behind this can be found here.

While longer descriptions may appear to provide more data to the reader, a more concise summary may in fact be more informative as it highlights the most important elements. By focusing the reader's attention on the larger structures of a plot, without drowning it in trivial detail, a shorter summary can often help the reader to understand a work much better than an overlong one. Excessively detailed plot summaries may also infringe on copyright and fair-use concerns. See Wikipedia:Plot-only description of fictional works#Copyright for more.

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)
