The 2008 one season, 6 episode BBC series is the main Lab Rats on an encyclopedia? While the 2011-15 four season, 68 episodes (and counting) Disney XD series with a much larger viewership is on redirect? OK, someone may love the BBC, but this is against all rules and just makes Wikipedia look stupid. Can someone please change it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.205.181.231 ( talk) 12:04, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
As I said to User:Islander on his talk page regarding this edit
Hello. Your removal of quotes from Lab Rats had the following edit summary:
"(Block quotes should be avoided, as NPOV is hard to maintain - 'reception' should, as with the rest of the article, be prose.)"
That's nonsensical and does not accord with any Wikipedia policies I'm aware of (please place a link on my talk page if you know better).
As far as I'm aware blockquotes are to be used when substantive amounts of text are being quoted (that is, more than a phrase or sentence). The issue of NPOV doesn't arise since quotes from the media are a matter of referenced/recorded fact. No user (unless they are the journalist themselves) can create these quotes of their own free will.
In any case: since your argument is that they should be in a different format (ie, "be prose") that's not a reason for you to remove them, rather merely to reformat. On that basis I'm reverting your removal. -- bodnotbod ( talk) 23:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Just for the record, the word "critical" doesn't necessarily mean "negative" unless used in specific contexts. " Critical reception" acknowledges that these are the opinions of television critics, be they negative or positive. Bob talk 17:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
This revision has a slightly messed up edit summary. Was supposed to be about unexplained removal of content. My bad. --Krenair ( talk • contribs) 04:57, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
I think this page should be moved to Lab Rats (2008 TV series) because there is a film and 2012 series this series doesn't stand out over the others Christopher10006 ( talk) 20:11, 9 June 2014
