Shouldn't it be described as an alleged refusal? Murphy says Adams refused to allow them to use his music; Adams insists he was NEVER contacted by anyone from Glee. With no proof being provided by either side (although the onus should be on Murphy to prove Adams turned them down), it's nothing but an alleged refusal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwazimoto69 ( talk • contribs) 14:34, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Who should be listed in the infobox as the series creator? Yes, Murphy is routinely called the creator in interviews and articles, but he's the one that does the most press, and that's really an easy shorthand for what the article details with sources - that Ian Brennan is the one who came up with the concept, and took it to Falchuk and Murphy, via Novick, for development. I think it should say either Brennan, or all three, or none, but singling out Murphy to me seems incorrect. Frickative 23:40, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

There should be a section created, which is dedicated to criticism of Glee from the LGBT community itself. Over the last couple of seasons, there have been a lot of Transphobic references made by the characters & writers alike. If a show can be condemned for calling a character a "Fag" or making a homophobic reference, then the same must be done when the term porn-terms "She-male" and "Tranny". Both of these terms have been freely used within the show by numerous characters, while songs with Trans references (such as those from "Rocky Horror" & Lady Gaga's "Born This Way") have been purposefully edited to get rid of verses that have transgender references.
It'd probably also be worthwhile putting a reference to this in the Wiki of Glee's creator, Ryan Murphy (who's openly gay & was transphobic in his previous show "Nip/Tuck") as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.234.6 ( talk) 09:58, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

For season three, we need to decide how we're going to treat the list of writers. In the first two seasons, it was just Ian, Ryan, and Brad. For the third season, they have added six writers to the staff. All of them work as writers, yet appear in episode credits under their seniormost title, from co-executive producer down to staff writer. They are:
The question is when these six should be added to the list: only once they actual receive the sole credit as the episode's writer, or at once. If at once, then what order should be used? (Adler has written the fourth episode, so we'll see a sole credit beyond the original trio fairly soon.)
However, it should be all six or one at a time. We shouldn't list the credited staff writers separately, because all six are staff writers. Does anyone know what infoboxes typically do? Or if there isn't a standard, which approach we should take. BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:28, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

I attempted adding a template saying that the information was out of date this morning, and was thoroughly rebuffed for doing so by another editor.

As a person who knows little about Glee, and not knowing much about how wikipedia works, I can't do it myself:

Hello. Although it is cited to a reliable source, the ratings average for season 4 is incorrect. The page states that season 4 avereaged 8.26 million viewers. But not a single episode had over 8 million, so mathematically, it is impossible that it's average can be that high. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.41.10.207 ( talk) 00:23, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Any thoughts?
Ijoshiexo ( talk) 12:59, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
This right here means nothing. Thievery? Last time I checked, he didn't copyright it or is he signed to any label. He made an arrangement to the song. Anyone can cover it. So there is no need for that to be on the page. Ijoshiexo ( talk) 12:59, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
I understand that for each article on the Wikipedia you guys do something different. For the upcoming season of Glee, 4 cast members have been dropped from regular and 5 have been added. I believe, we should do a "Current Cast" list on the main Glee article page with the current names under it and have a link directed to all the cast where it can show the ones who will no longer be regular and the current ones. Right now as it stands, when we do add those 5 new regulars, the list will be pretty huge for that side bar. So please consider my suggestion. Thanks. Ijoshiexo ( talk) 7:51, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

I understand a lot of people are interested in the show, and are very enthusiastic about the article. I don't want to step on any toes. But the lede seems excessively long and detailed. I realize any article attached to a fanbase is likely to go nuts at changes, so I thought I'd bring it here for discussion before editing. It seems like there's a lot of very specific information and detail that would be better off in the main body, and summarized here. I mean, in terms of TV shows, many of the most famous of all time have ledes half this length. The lede isn't poorly written, it's just a bit over-written. I'd highly recommend it be pared down and detail moved to the body. A lede should be a summary, giving a broad overview of the topic in a brief manner. 204.65.34.238 ( talk) 15:02, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

New cast members from 2012/2013 season
This feedback has a point, I realized that the "Cast and Characters" section lack of information of casts and characters of the recent season(s) especially season 4. I suggest that the section should have sub-sections under "Cast and Characters" like "First Season", "Second Season", "Third Season", "Fourth Season" and put the different casts and characters under each sub-sections OR make a table like used in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation OR can also simplify it by using a more "point-form" manner like used in Switched at Birth (TV series). Also the "Cast and Characters" section for this article seems to be too long. Any suggestions? I will start doing these changes to the section tomorrow, feel free to post any suggestions. This is a bold and big move and is better for the understanding of the article (the "Cast and Characters" section) anyway. Looking forward for any suggestions.
Nicholance ( talk) 17:10, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
Any changes to the lead needs to adhere to the WP:LEAD guidelines. Since the lead is supposed to summarize the rest of the article, taking out all the information about the cast and characters, reception, etc., is not appropriate. Each section within the article should be touched on in the lead, even if only in a sentence; if it isn't in the body of the article, it definitely doesn't belong in the lead.
Also, I feel I need to point out that Glee is one of the most frequently accessed articles on Wikipedia. As such, new text needs to be in good shape. The changes made so far are problematic, including unsourced quoting, grammatical issues, etc.: in fact, I'm going to revert to its previous state: there's far too much plot, and one person's opinion on what that is. This is a long-established Good Article, and the changes need to reflect that level of quality. BlueMoonset ( talk) 15:37, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
The Criticism section's current means of dealing with the criticism of Glee as anti-Christian (read:portraying Christians and Christianity in a negative light?) could use some work. The article is currently using a quote from Time's Nancy Gibbs, who wrote that the show could be perceived as anti-Christian because "all of the Ten Commandments" get violated at some point during the series. This is like saying a show is anti-Muslim because the characters do not all eat halal and pray five times a day. By Gibbs' same logic, the show is also antisemitic in a religious sense.
There are better quotes from the Gibbs article that actually address the question of whether Christianity itself is portrayed in a negative light; can we use one of those? I'd be glad to offer one or two myself, but I'm not a Time subscriber. Christianity Today's blog ( http://blog.christianitytoday.com/ctentertainment/2009/12/is-glee-antichristian-1.html) cites the article a couple of times. Recommend something involving the quote from Gibbs: "The point lies in the surprises that jostle us out of our smug little certainties and invite us to weigh what we value, whatever our faith tradition.”16:39, 18 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.144.234 ( talk)

This right here means nothing. Thievery? Last time I checked, he didn't copyright it or is he signed to any label. He made an arrangement to the song. Anyone can cover it. So there is no need for that to be on the page. Ijoshiexo ( talk) 12:59, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
I understand that for each article on the Wikipedia you guys do something different. For the upcoming season of Glee, 4 cast members have been dropped from regular and 5 have been added. I believe, we should do a "Current Cast" list on the main Glee article page with the current names under it and have a link directed to all the cast where it can show the ones who will no longer be regular and the current ones. Right now as it stands, when we do add those 5 new regulars, the list will be pretty huge for that side bar. So please consider my suggestion. Thanks. Ijoshiexo ( talk) 7:51, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

I understand a lot of people are interested in the show, and are very enthusiastic about the article. I don't want to step on any toes. But the lede seems excessively long and detailed. I realize any article attached to a fanbase is likely to go nuts at changes, so I thought I'd bring it here for discussion before editing. It seems like there's a lot of very specific information and detail that would be better off in the main body, and summarized here. I mean, in terms of TV shows, many of the most famous of all time have ledes half this length. The lede isn't poorly written, it's just a bit over-written. I'd highly recommend it be pared down and detail moved to the body. A lede should be a summary, giving a broad overview of the topic in a brief manner. 204.65.34.238 ( talk) 15:02, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

New cast members from 2012/2013 season
This feedback has a point, I realized that the "Cast and Characters" section lack of information of casts and characters of the recent season(s) especially season 4. I suggest that the section should have sub-sections under "Cast and Characters" like "First Season", "Second Season", "Third Season", "Fourth Season" and put the different casts and characters under each sub-sections OR make a table like used in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation OR can also simplify it by using a more "point-form" manner like used in Switched at Birth (TV series). Also the "Cast and Characters" section for this article seems to be too long. Any suggestions? I will start doing these changes to the section tomorrow, feel free to post any suggestions. This is a bold and big move and is better for the understanding of the article (the "Cast and Characters" section) anyway. Looking forward for any suggestions.

Any changes to the lead needs to adhere to the WP:LEAD guidelines. Since the lead is supposed to summarize the rest of the article, taking out all the information about the cast and characters, reception, etc., is not appropriate. Each section within the article should be touched on in the lead, even if only in a sentence; if it isn't in the body of the article, it definitely doesn't belong in the lead.
Also, I feel I need to point out that Glee is one of the most frequently accessed articles on Wikipedia. As such, new text needs to be in good shape. The changes made so far are problematic, including unsourced quoting, grammatical issues, etc.: in fact, I'm going to revert to its previous state: there's far too much plot, and one person's opinion on what that is. This is a long-established Good Article, and the changes need to reflect that level of quality. BlueMoonset ( talk) 15:37, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
The Criticism section's current means of dealing with the criticism of Glee as anti-Christian (read:portraying Christians and Christianity in a negative light?) could use some work. The article is currently using a quote from Time's Nancy Gibbs, who wrote that the show could be perceived as anti-Christian because "all of the Ten Commandments" get violated at some point during the series. This is like saying a show is anti-Muslim because the characters do not all eat halal and pray five times a day. By Gibbs' same logic, the show is also antisemitic in a religious sense.
There are better quotes from the Gibbs article that actually address the question of whether Christianity itself is portrayed in a negative light; can we use one of those? I'd be glad to offer one or two myself, but I'm not a Time subscriber. Christianity Today's blog ( http://blog.christianitytoday.com/ctentertainment/2009/12/is-glee-antichristian-1.html) cites the article a couple of times. Recommend something involving the quote from Gibbs: "The point lies in the surprises that jostle us out of our smug little certainties and invite us to weigh what we value, whatever our faith tradition.”16:39, 18 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.144.234 ( talk)

Congratulations on making it to today's listing on the "Did You Know..." section of Wikipedia Main Page. The process of making it the listing takes a bit of effort and involves the quick cooperation of many editors. All involved deserve recognition, appreciation, thanks and applause.
