OK, the major gap in the articles that we have are episode articles for all three shows and lists of cast members and characters for CSI:Miami and CSI:NY. I have a lot of CSI:Vegas on DVD, so I'll start writing more episode articles for it. If anyone could help with Miami and NY, especially the new series of Miami (not yet aired in the UK), could they work on the episodes and lists for the two spin-offs. For images of characters, visit Yahoo, the website used for the CSI:Vegas character list. Editus Reloaded 09:14, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Right, forget that. I suggest using the photos from their individual character articles instead (saves time, no risk of copy violation). Editus Reloaded 17:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Someone has been breaking links so that they do not work from the main episode list. However, the articles remain. I will get to fixing them.
Rome Leader 22:06, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
The main templates are a concern for me. I've raised the issue here but this might be the best venue. Basically I think we need 4 templates - strip the current 3 of the common content (links to the franchise, comics, novels, etc.) to make a main template and then you can mix and match: All 4 on the main franchise page; the main one and the relevant one on most pages; and just the main one on some of the others (like comics and novels). That would allow maximum flexibility and reduce redundancy.
Thoughts? ( Emperor 20:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC))
Yeah, that seems like a better plan, having {{Template:CSI franchise}} and {{Template:relevant show}}. I'll work on that; I think there's already a general template for the franchise so I can use that as a basis. My work in progress will be here. Editus Reloaded 09:14, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
OK, templates done. The show templates are v.3 and the franchise template is v.1. For past versions, see here. Editus Reloaded 09:51, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I've added it here and we need it spread around as much as possible. Use: {{Template:WikiProject CSI}} ( Emperor 15:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC))
Most of the episodes lack links so I wanted to kickstart a discussion on appropriate links so we can target the issue. I added what I think are OK at MIA/NYC NonStop - let me know what you think. CSI Guide would also be easy to template to make things easy for everyone. Once we have more people on board we can have people go through the entries and drop in the links. It should really help beef things up on that front. Also once there is a standard as new entries get created they should all get done to the same standard. ( Emperor 18:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC))
Yeah, that's about the right number of external links, especially since we can use the sites to write episode plot summaries (not word for word obviously). On a related note, many episodes do not have articles at all, and most that do do not have - in my opinion - sufficient detail. Others, notably the pilot episode of CSI Vegas contain far too much; from my experience at WP:007, it is possible to write an 800-word summary of a 2 hour film. On that basis, summaries for 40-minute episodes should run to no more that 250-300 words. I will begin work on this as soon as I have finished sorting the list of CSI:Miami cast members, but please start before me if you want to ;). Editus Reloaded 15:54, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
It'd be handy to have a notice board for adding things in to let people know what is going on in the general area. All they need to is watch that and they can keep an eye on developments. An example: Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Notice Board. For example we have a lot of episodes that need creating. As they are made they could be added to the "new entries" list and then people can drop in and check them over to make sure everything is standard and working and they can add any additional infomration. That kind of thing. It can also keep a track on merges, deletions, renamings, moves and any other issues that might arise. ( Emperor 14:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC))

A number of the boxes for the CSI (video games) are being removed as non-free content due to lack of a license. See e.g.: Talk:CSI: Dark Motives, Talk:CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (computer game) and Talk:CSI: Miami (computer game). This is part of a wider ongoing process to tighen up the justifications for using them and I believe adding in one is (so I'm told) fairly straightforward. If someone could sort that out it'd save the hassle of having to add them in again (when we'd only have to provide the justification) I need to go and flag similar things in other projecs. ( Emperor 12:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC))
OK, I fixed that annoying bit of legalese for the cited cases and for CSI:3 Dimensions of Murder. Just in case Jerry Bruckheimer and the head of UBI come round to my house with some hired goons to ask how I dared to use an image belonging to them. Did I mention that I hate legalese? Editus Reloaded 10:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Looking at List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation cast members, I think we should dump everyone who's only in one episode, if we're going to keep this at all. Otherwise these list pages are going to become obscene. Using Law and Order as a basis, they call their page "a list of major, notable, and recurring characters" on their page and I think that's the way we should go. -- Ipstenu ( talk • contribs) 14:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough. Unless they contribute significantly to the plot, e.g. Ellie Rebecca Brass has appeared twice in the series, but was portrayed by different people on each occasion, so both actresses should stay in the list. Another example is the Blue Paint Killer, who only actually appears once, but is mentioned in seasons 3 and 5. Editus Reloaded 14:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

A Grizzly Murder was created so User:Jerzy could ask if Ed Beagly Jr was in the episode. Since no other eps from that season are written, I put the article up for deletion. There's nothing of use on the page that's worth saving anyway. If we can get back to it later, we can rewrite it properly. -- Ipstenu ( talk • contribs) 15:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I've proposed a merge because it seems redundant to have both. See the discussion here (where I've put my rational). -- Ipstenu ( talk • contribs) 15:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I kinda-sorta got the List of CSI<foo> episode pages back on track, but the CSI <foo> (season <bar>) pages need some serious reformatting to use the right templates. It's grunt labor, I'm afraid, but it also brings up the worry that some of the episode links are ... well wrong. We shouldn't need to have the qualifier (CSI episode) on all the pages. Sure, Run Silent, Run Deep is going to need one, but Necrophilia Americana shouldn't. This is going to end up monkey work to go through the redlinks, see what should and shouldn't be qualified, and then go back and see what's pointing to what. -- Ipstenu ( talk • contribs) 15:54, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Eeek! No no no! I'm thinking for Episode List on the "CSI: NY (season 2)" type pages, not the all over list-of! Unless we could get it to ignore the summary field, which I recall it leaves in as a weird space when not in use. Sorry, not enough caffeine in my system today. That was a bad explanation on my part! And seeing as I'm the one who listified the heck out of NY and Miami just recently, I'd look pretty silly ;) -- Ipstenu ( talk • contribs) 19:36, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
:OK, I get it now. You want to do to NY seasons 2+3 what I did to Miami S1-5 and NY S1. It's a cow of a task, you have to copy all the data from the old table format to the new template format 1 episode at a time. How about we split the load - you do season 2 and I do season 3?

I am trying to find images of characters to add to various CSI character articles (specifically: The Blue Paint Killer, Mandy Webster, Archie Johnson and David Hodges) and have resolved to take screenshots from DVDs, but I have encountered a technical problem. My process is this:
Wrong. When I save the image, or close Media Player, the image goes black. If I do neither, and press Play in Media Player, the image in Paint begins to move in synch with the version displayed on M.P. Any advice? Editus Reloaded 20:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
There are some articles ( Who Shot Sherlock?, Viva Las Vegas (CSI episode)) that have
at the bottom of their page. How are we supposed to make references in an article? The only references I would know to make are to the episode itself, and that seems redundant. - Freak104 13:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I noticed a lot of the Futurama episodes have been tagged as not complying with WP:EPISODE and I'd like to head this off at the pass before the tags start flying. They are largely failing on the simpler WP:V by not including IMDB, TV.com links which we have worked to address, but reading through the episode notability guidelines it does look like we'll need to raise our game once we've done the initial run through and got the episodes up to standard. So things to keep an eye out for:
This would then let us aim for extra sections which would help provide notability as well as showing the importance of the episode:
I was looking at how it is done at Buffy (e,g, The Harvest (Buffy episode)) and, while their production seems to be an excuse for trivia (quotes and music - the kind of thing specifically verboten according to episode notability), the way they divide things up looks solid. I especially like the cast section which would be handy for the guest stars too.
So hopefully we can stay ahead of the curve which should mean we can learn from any mistakes other TV episodes make and so avoid going through any hassle on the deletion/notbility front which of course should result in a very solid set of entries (we should easily be able to shape up some solid examples like Grave Danger and Fur and Loathing to help people base their work on). Everyone wins :) ( Emperor 17:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC))
20 minutes later, police officers and CSIs swarm the scene. Ecklie arrives and assures Grissom and Catherine that "the crime lab only has one case tonight". As they search the scene, they find Nick's stab vest, camera and kit lying on the ground. They see the bagged coffee cup and realise that Nick didn't bag it.
I would like to bring two points to the attention of project members:
Given that the episodes make up the bulk of the articles under this project's purview, we really need to flesh out the existing articles and create new ones. Editus Reloaded 09:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
On the list of episodes it is Snow Day (CSI: NY episode) but other links point to Snow Day (CSI episode). Can we get a decision on this? I doubt the different series will have episodes with the same name. ( Emperor 23:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC))
I am curious about this cat: Category:CSI: Crime Scene Investigation articles - it seems like it is intended to include every CSI entry and I don't see the point (it'll be too large and too general to be of any use - people would always go to the more specialised version). I also work on a number of projects and none of them do anything like this. ( Emperor 00:50, 15 July 2007 (UTC))
CSI: London Do we really need this at the moment? ( Emperor 19:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC))
Random clicking took me to Hell on Earth 2006 and I note they use the optional episode list template and it looks good and has the potential to be useful. If people are interested I could throw together an example for us to look at to see if it works. ( Emperor 16:08, 20 July 2007 (UTC))
Ok, people tonight i've worked a lot in these article so as to have at least one descent character article (within the project) from which it's possible to template the others. I would like other people to revise it, and maybe later get it nominated to a good article status. By the way, how come we haven't made CSI worthy of being nominated for a good article?? The people of 24 are beating us, even Lost has a better article. Let's make CSI featured article by the end of the month COME ONNNN who's with me? -- Yamanbaiia 01:14, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
A few issues have emerged and it'd need some input - I have thrown some thoughts onto the talk page. ( Emperor 23:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC))
I'm just a Wikipedia reader but I was reading through some CSI episode summaries and they seem directly lifted (cut and pasted) from those at TV.COM. I would think that most of the content of the series pages would be written by fans and would be original material. Or perhaps the same person is writing summaries for both websites. Suspicious summaries are those that are just about a paragraph long, 3-6 sentences, and which provide no conclusion to the plot (TV.com discourages spoilers). Nwjerseyliz 01:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
There are a few problems with season 6 (from about episode 12 on - sporadically) - it looks like the initial run through sketched out the episodes to stub level but there were gaps. Some of these have been filled but the content is just about a stub and in some cases less than that. Some have been tagged for lacking notability - I Like To Watch, The Unusual Suspect and Rashomama), some should be ( Spellbound (CSI episode)) and one has been redirected to the episode list (Killer). It looks like we'll have to do a few runs through to make sure things are expanded and up to standard or we could see the entries starting to be rolled back taking out better quality work. I'll try and address the most obvious problems (like Spellbound and try and sort Killer out) but it will require a bit of effort and I'm short on time so any extra hands would be handy. ( Emperor 04:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC))
I've added a to do list (first time I've done that) and added in the general season 6 clean-up with articles that need doing, expanding or bringing out of notability. Also noted that we should be working to expand season 8 as we go along (much easier than paying catch-up later) - although this will depend on when each of us get to watch them but once I do I'll try and jump in and see what I can do ( Emperor) —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 15:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Is there a "wiki-reason" for changing "episode chronolgy" for "list of episodes template"?. Yamanbaiia 17:02, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
i just took a look at
wiki project LOST and they have some awesome stuff. The Character template is really good and i think if we changed ours to one similar it would help make the character's less in universe.
Check out LOST's character's template:
Template:Infobox Lost character
Infobox Lost character
Title=
Image=
First=<-- Episodes are not in italics -->
Last=<--optional-->
Flashback1=<--optional--><-- Episodes are not in italics -->
Name=
Place=
Profession=
Actor=
The one we have now is a bit ridiculous talking about the character's hair, gender, "status" (it was recently mentioned in
Talk:Sara Sidle how crazy this seems becuase she doesn't have a status since she doesn't really exist), i know i'm becoming annoying but i just want to improve all this articles :) , i'll change all the characters infobox if you guys agree.

Hello, I wanted to give your project a heads up that all the individual season one episode summaries for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation have been proposed for deletion per WP:NOT#PLOT since every article is simply a synopsis of the episode along with some trivia (which violates WP:TRIVIA). The relevant discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pilot (CSI). I am waiting for the outcome to see what the consenses is for the rest of the seasons. If anyone would like to expand any of these articles for notability, I would happily withdraw the nomination for that episode. -- Redfarmer ( talk) 22:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I'll post this here, just in case people don't regularly check the template talk page. I recently removed Sofia Curtis from the Characters list, as she is no longer a main cast member. This begs the question, what do we do about Sara Sidle? Jorja Fox was on the show for 8 years, so is that major enough to warrant a permanent place on the template? I think yes, which is not mutually exclusive to removing Sofia Curtis because Lombard was only in the main character list for 2-3 seasons, and so is not a major character with reference to the show's overarching continuity.
Put it another way, if Grissom was killed off next season would we keep him on the template? Editus Reloaded ( talk) 20:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I've already removed from the List of CSI:Crime_Scene Investigation episodes invented titles for new CSI episodes twice in a week, someone went as far as inventing a year's worth of titles ( see). Someones also edited Bull (CSI) with the full plot of "next week's episode" ( see) As far as i know the writer's strike is still on, and no more episodes have been filmed because they have not been written, therefore no plot nor titles exist. We should keep an eye on this, i already saw that year long episode list on a CSI forum.-- Yamanbaiia( free hugs!) 21:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey just to give everyone a heads up, the user Travellingcari is proding various CSI:NY articles for deletion based on very sketchy reasons. I contested both prods I found on the talk page. His reasons:
On Minor characters in CSI: NY: 1) this is no different to List of CSI: NY characters, with significant overlap 2) several of the characters here, espec0ially Adam Ross and Sid Hammerback have their own pages, and this is duplication. Many of those remaining could be covered easily in CSI:NY. (Sounds like he should be using merge proposal instead of a prod. Gives no reason why to simply delete the page and loose information about characters not given elsewhere.0
On Stella Bonasera: No real means of writing it out of universe style and there is little substance apart from the episode by episode recount of her actions. Anything pre Season 4 is not sourceable due to the changes on the show's official site. Any crucial information on the character of Stella can be mentioned in the main article, namely that she's Mac's second in command and that her career started in Brooklyn North. (He gives no real reason why he thinks the article cannot be sourced out of universe and I pointed out that it is very possible since Gil Grissom is currently a good article. He also says on the discussion page he thinks, if his prod of this page is successful, he intends to prod every individual character page for CSI:NY for the same reason, which is getting out of hand.)
Just thought I'd give you a heads up on this guy so you can keep on eye on them. If they take this to AfD, I intend to fight it all the way as what he is complaining about is cleanup issues, not reasons for deletion. Redfarmer ( talk) 16:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Someone needs to set up an article for the Season 1 episode " $35K O.B.O.". It is the only CSI episode article that just redirects to the episode list in the season's article.-- Ifrit ( talk) 10:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
A number of episodes have been put up for speedy deletion. I got a note for Snow Day (CSI: NY episode) and there appears to be a list here: User talk:WJBscribe#"More" Copyvio's. Nancy seems to reversed most of them (it seems the nominator got the wrong end of the stick for some, mistaking Wikipedia mirrors for the original content, and removing copy violating material in other cases). It looks like there has been a tug of war of some (like Raising Caine) and we need to keep an eye out for problems - I removed some copy vio material from an entry a bit ago.
Obviously, the best answer is to remove the offending material and start again, however, it seems to be a lot are being speedied. I'll look at the ones that have been deleted and reverse those that were due to mistakes and then look into the others. If you spot anything drop a note in here, although if it is copyright violations remove the text first - we can always put it back in if it is a mistake. ( Emperor ( talk) 20:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC))

How about instead of just using yellow on everyone's infobox, we use different colo(u)rs depending on the series (for example the stargate infobox does it by the persons race) that they star in, and if we wanted to we could break it down to say a different shade if the person is deceased or if they have left the show (for example the actor one uses yellow if they are alive and silver they are dead.).

Dear WikiProject CSI franchise participants... WikiProject Media franchises needs some help from other projects which are similar. Media franchises' scope deals primarily with the coordination of articles within the hundreds if not thousands of media franchises which exist. Sometimes a franchise might just need color coordination of the various templates used; it could mean creating an article for the franchise as a jump off point for the children of it; or the creation of a new templating system for media franchise articles. The project primarily focuses on multimedia franchises. It would be great if some of this project's participants would come over and help the project get back on solid footing. Also, if you know of similar projects which have not received this, let Lady Aleena ( talk · contribs) know. Please come and take a look at the project and see if you wish to lend a hand. You can sign up here if you wish. Thank you. LA @ 05:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I admit, I am a picky bitch sometimes....but I am getting really tired of the people who are speculating about Lindsay's baby and changing her last name to Messer every two days. Also, only on the Lindsay/Danny pages - episode synopses are being posted that are almost directly cribbed from the CSI Files website. I would like to see all the CSI pages semi-protected from new and anonymous users, but I know that will not happen (my own personal gripe and I won't get on my soapbox about it here).
Would it be possible to semi-protect the Lindsay Monroe and Danny Messer pages for a period of 2 to 4 weeks from new and anon users? I think this might be long enough to get many of these people to give up on turning these pages into a soap opera and borderline fan fiction of late. Warning doesn't work - a new name or ip address just shows up two days later.
The only thing that hasn't been done to the Lindsay page is a name for the baby. Watch, as I write this, somebody probably is out there typing "Lindsay and Danny's daughter will be named Danniella Stella MacKenna Monroe-Messer". Pardon my sarcasm. Anyway, the season will be over relatively soon and much of the problem should go away after that unless CSI:NY ends the season with a big cliffhanger involving Lindsay in some sort of peril with her pregnancy or something else happens to her in Montana.
I simply want Wikipedia in general to be a good source of information and not so much of the crap I have been seeing lately, especially due to speculative posts from people who think CSI:NY is only about two supporting cast members. I'll shut up now, but look forward to replies. Bloo ( talk) 04:47, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how many people monitor WP:MOSTV or even WP:TV (the basic WikiProject for all of us), but we've been trying to get some feedback on additions to the TV Manual of Style. It largely has to do with the inclusion of "Overview" tables at the start of the page, the order in which season lists are presented (currently, there is no concrete order), and what is considered too much info for DVDs (i.e. should we be placing every detail about the box set in the article, from each interview to the aspect ratio, or should be keep it more generalized).

This is a little complicated to explain, but an editor has redirected most CSI articles as non-notable without establishing consensus and then nominated Template:CSI season 1 episode list, Template:CSI season 2 episode list, Template:CSI season 3 episode list, etc. for deletion using the fact that they link to redirects as rationale. Also, Category:CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episodes has been nominated for speedy after the nom removed it from articles and templates by redirecting the articles (see above) and simply removing it from the templates s/he nominated for deletion. I'm opposing the template deletions. I don't know whether the articles formerly in the templates are notable, but that should be decided by consensus before they're redirected and their templates are nominated for deletion on that rationale.

I have noticed that episode pages range in content. It's been at least 18 months since this was last raised on this page and apparently not much has been done since. Many of these do not seem notable as they are two sentence plot summaries and basic credits which can be found in this article itself and/or the season pages. Tagging the poorer ones (including ones with just longer summaries and guest stars) with notability and eventually AfD seems like a good idea. Such has been done with List of CSI: NY episodes and List of CSI: Miami episodes, while only a handful over there are actually wikilinked. Redirecting to season pages is a viable option. Socby19 ( talk) 22:06, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey all, I just went through a bunch of episodes from season 8 and deleted plots that were blatant copyright violations (taken from the episode guide at CBS's CSI site). In most cases I was able to restore to an earlier version of the plot, though not in all cases. A couple of the ones I looked at appeared OK but the whole thing was getting tiresome so I might not have looked closely enough. Anyway, here are the ones I checked and edited; I strongly recommend other editors double-check my work and maybe fill out more of the plots.
These are the ones I looked at that I think are OK but should be vetted by someone else:
I found all these episodes after noticing one copyvio that editor Green Pirate had done and then went through and checked all their other edits. I did not look at any other episodes from season 8 (or any other season for that matter) so someone will probably want to look at those as well. SQGibbon ( talk) 08:24, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
An editor, Jane Rizzoli, has made many changes to these three pages: "List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation characters", "List of CSI: Miami characters", and "List of CSI: NY characters". I don't like those changes and have started a discussion on the "Talk:List of CSI: NY characters" page. If anyone likes or dislikes the new look please comment on that page. If no one comments, her new look will probably prevail. I won't like it, but I'll go along with the consensus. Jaguar766 ( talk) 23:45, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

OK, the major gap in the articles that we have are episode articles for all three shows and lists of cast members and characters for CSI:Miami and CSI:NY. I have a lot of CSI:Vegas on DVD, so I'll start writing more episode articles for it. If anyone could help with Miami and NY, especially the new series of Miami (not yet aired in the UK), could they work on the episodes and lists for the two spin-offs. For images of characters, visit Yahoo, the website used for the CSI:Vegas character list. Editus Reloaded 09:14, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Right, forget that. I suggest using the photos from their individual character articles instead (saves time, no risk of copy violation). Editus Reloaded 17:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Someone has been breaking links so that they do not work from the main episode list. However, the articles remain. I will get to fixing them.
Rome Leader 22:06, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
The main templates are a concern for me. I've raised the issue here but this might be the best venue. Basically I think we need 4 templates - strip the current 3 of the common content (links to the franchise, comics, novels, etc.) to make a main template and then you can mix and match: All 4 on the main franchise page; the main one and the relevant one on most pages; and just the main one on some of the others (like comics and novels). That would allow maximum flexibility and reduce redundancy.
Thoughts? ( Emperor 20:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC))
Yeah, that seems like a better plan, having {{Template:CSI franchise}} and {{Template:relevant show}}. I'll work on that; I think there's already a general template for the franchise so I can use that as a basis. My work in progress will be here. Editus Reloaded 09:14, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
OK, templates done. The show templates are v.3 and the franchise template is v.1. For past versions, see here. Editus Reloaded 09:51, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I've added it here and we need it spread around as much as possible. Use: {{Template:WikiProject CSI}} ( Emperor 15:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC))
Most of the episodes lack links so I wanted to kickstart a discussion on appropriate links so we can target the issue. I added what I think are OK at MIA/NYC NonStop - let me know what you think. CSI Guide would also be easy to template to make things easy for everyone. Once we have more people on board we can have people go through the entries and drop in the links. It should really help beef things up on that front. Also once there is a standard as new entries get created they should all get done to the same standard. ( Emperor 18:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC))
Yeah, that's about the right number of external links, especially since we can use the sites to write episode plot summaries (not word for word obviously). On a related note, many episodes do not have articles at all, and most that do do not have - in my opinion - sufficient detail. Others, notably the pilot episode of CSI Vegas contain far too much; from my experience at WP:007, it is possible to write an 800-word summary of a 2 hour film. On that basis, summaries for 40-minute episodes should run to no more that 250-300 words. I will begin work on this as soon as I have finished sorting the list of CSI:Miami cast members, but please start before me if you want to ;). Editus Reloaded 15:54, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
It'd be handy to have a notice board for adding things in to let people know what is going on in the general area. All they need to is watch that and they can keep an eye on developments. An example: Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Notice Board. For example we have a lot of episodes that need creating. As they are made they could be added to the "new entries" list and then people can drop in and check them over to make sure everything is standard and working and they can add any additional infomration. That kind of thing. It can also keep a track on merges, deletions, renamings, moves and any other issues that might arise. ( Emperor 14:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC))

A number of the boxes for the CSI (video games) are being removed as non-free content due to lack of a license. See e.g.: Talk:CSI: Dark Motives, Talk:CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (computer game) and Talk:CSI: Miami (computer game). This is part of a wider ongoing process to tighen up the justifications for using them and I believe adding in one is (so I'm told) fairly straightforward. If someone could sort that out it'd save the hassle of having to add them in again (when we'd only have to provide the justification) I need to go and flag similar things in other projecs. ( Emperor 12:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC))
OK, I fixed that annoying bit of legalese for the cited cases and for CSI:3 Dimensions of Murder. Just in case Jerry Bruckheimer and the head of UBI come round to my house with some hired goons to ask how I dared to use an image belonging to them. Did I mention that I hate legalese? Editus Reloaded 10:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Looking at List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation cast members, I think we should dump everyone who's only in one episode, if we're going to keep this at all. Otherwise these list pages are going to become obscene. Using Law and Order as a basis, they call their page "a list of major, notable, and recurring characters" on their page and I think that's the way we should go. -- Ipstenu ( talk • contribs) 14:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough. Unless they contribute significantly to the plot, e.g. Ellie Rebecca Brass has appeared twice in the series, but was portrayed by different people on each occasion, so both actresses should stay in the list. Another example is the Blue Paint Killer, who only actually appears once, but is mentioned in seasons 3 and 5. Editus Reloaded 14:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

A Grizzly Murder was created so User:Jerzy could ask if Ed Beagly Jr was in the episode. Since no other eps from that season are written, I put the article up for deletion.

I've proposed a merge because it seems redundant to have both. See the discussion here (where I've put my rational). -- Ipstenu ( talk • contribs) 15:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I kinda-sorta got the List of CSI<foo> episode pages back on track, but the CSI <foo> (season <bar>) pages need some serious reformatting to use the right templates. It's grunt labor, I'm afraid, but it also brings up the worry that some of the episode links are ... well wrong. We shouldn't need to have the qualifier (CSI episode) on all the pages. Sure, Run Silent, Run Deep is going to need one, but Necrophilia Americana shouldn't. This is going to end up monkey work to go through the redlinks, see what should and shouldn't be qualified, and then go back and see what's pointing to what. -- Ipstenu ( talk • contribs) 15:54, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Eeek! No no no! I'm thinking for Episode List on the "CSI: NY (season 2)" type pages, not the all over list-of! Unless we could get it to ignore the summary field, which I recall it leaves in as a weird space when not in use. Sorry, not enough caffeine in my system today. That was a bad explanation on my part! And seeing as I'm the one who listified the heck out of NY and Miami just recently, I'd look pretty silly ;) -- Ipstenu ( talk • contribs) 19:36, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
:OK, I get it now. You want to do to NY seasons 2+3 what I did to Miami S1-5 and NY S1. It's a cow of a task, you have to copy all the data from the old table format to the new template format 1 episode at a time. How about we split the load - you do season 2 and I do season 3?

I am trying to find images of characters to add to various CSI character articles (specifically: The Blue Paint Killer, Mandy Webster, Archie Johnson and David Hodges) and have resolved to take screenshots from DVDs, but I have encountered a technical problem. My process is this:
Wrong. When I save the image, or close Media Player, the image goes black. If I do neither, and press Play in Media Player, the image in Paint begins to move in synch with the version displayed on M.P. Any advice? Editus Reloaded 20:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
There are some articles ( Who Shot Sherlock?, Viva Las Vegas (CSI episode)) that have
at the bottom of their page. How are we supposed to make references in an article? The only references I would know to make are to the episode itself, and that seems redundant. - Freak104 13:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I noticed a lot of the Futurama episodes have been tagged as not complying with WP:EPISODE and I'd like to head this off at the pass before the tags start flying. They are largely failing on the simpler WP:V by not including IMDB, TV.com links which we have worked to address, but reading through the episode notability guidelines it does look like we'll need to raise our game once we've done the initial run through and got the episodes up to standard. So things to keep an eye out for:
This would then let us aim for extra sections which would help provide notability as well as showing the importance of the episode:
I was looking at how it is done at Buffy (e,g, The Harvest (Buffy episode)) and, while their production seems to be an excuse for trivia (quotes and music - the kind of thing specifically verboten according to episode notability), the way they divide things up looks solid. I especially like the cast section which would be handy for the guest stars too.
So hopefully we can stay ahead of the curve which should mean we can learn from any mistakes other TV episodes make and so avoid going through any hassle on the deletion/notbility front which of course should result in a very solid set of entries (we should easily be able to shape up some solid examples like Grave Danger and Fur and Loathing to help people base their work on). Everyone wins :) ( Emperor 17:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC))
20 minutes later, police officers and CSIs swarm the scene. Ecklie arrives and assures Grissom and Catherine that "the crime lab only has one case tonight". As they search the scene, they find Nick's stab vest, camera and kit lying on the ground. They see the bagged coffee cup and realise that Nick didn't bag it.
I would like to bring two points to the attention of project members:
Given that the episodes make up the bulk of the articles under this project's purview, we really need to flesh out the existing articles and create new ones. Editus Reloaded 09:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
On the list of episodes it is Snow Day (CSI: NY episode) but other links point to Snow Day (CSI episode). Can we get a decision on this? I doubt the different series will have episodes with the same name. ( Emperor 23:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC))
I am curious about this cat: Category:CSI: Crime Scene Investigation articles - it seems like it is intended to include every CSI entry and I don't see the point (it'll be too large and too general to be of any use - people would always go to the more specialised version).

Ok, people tonight i've worked a lot in these article so as to have at least one descent character article (within the project) from which it's possible to template the others.

A few issues have emerged and it'd need some input - I have thrown some thoughts onto the talk page. ( Emperor 23:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC))
I'm just a Wikipedia reader but I was reading through some CSI episode summaries and they seem directly lifted (cut and pasted) from those at TV.COM. I would think that most of the content of the series pages would be written by fans and would be original material. Or perhaps the same person is writing summaries for both websites. Suspicious summaries are those that are just about a paragraph long, 3-6 sentences, and which provide no conclusion to the plot (TV.com discourages spoilers). Nwjerseyliz 01:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
There are a few problems with season 6 (from about episode 12 on - sporadically) - it looks like the initial run through sketched out the episodes to stub level but there were gaps. Some of these have been filled but the content is just about a stub and in some cases less than that. Some have been tagged for lacking notability - I Like To Watch, The Unusual Suspect and Rashomama), some should be ( Spellbound (CSI episode)) and one has been redirected to the episode list (Killer). It looks like we'll have to do a few runs through to make sure things are expanded and up to standard or we could see the entries starting to be rolled back taking out better quality work. I'll try and address the most obvious problems (like Spellbound and try and sort Killer out) but it will require a bit of effort and I'm short on time so any extra hands would be handy. ( Emperor 04:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC))
I've added a to do list (first time I've done that) and added in the general season 6 clean-up with articles that need doing, expanding or bringing out of notability. Also noted that we should be working to expand season 8 as we go along (much easier than paying catch-up later) - although this will depend on when each of us get to watch them but once I do I'll try and jump in and see what I can do ( Emperor) —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 15:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

i just took a look at

Hello, I wanted to give your project a heads up that all the individual season one episode summaries for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation have been proposed for deletion per WP:NOT#PLOT since every article is simply a synopsis of the episode along with some trivia (which violates WP:TRIVIA). The relevant discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pilot (CSI). I am waiting for the outcome to see what the consenses is for the rest of the seasons. If anyone would like to expand any of these articles for notability, I would happily withdraw the nomination for that episode. -- Redfarmer ( talk) 22:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I'll post this here, just in case people don't regularly check the template talk page. I recently removed Sofia Curtis from the Characters list, as she is no longer a main cast member. This begs the question, what do we do about Sara Sidle? Jorja Fox was on the show for 8 years, so is that major enough to warrant a permanent place on the template? I think yes, which is not mutually exclusive to removing Sofia Curtis because Lombard was only in the main character list for 2-3 seasons, and so is not a major character with reference to the show's overarching continuity.
Put it another way, if Grissom was killed off next season would we keep him on the template? Editus Reloaded ( talk) 20:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I've already removed from the List of CSI:Crime_Scene Investigation episodes invented titles for new CSI episodes twice in a week, someone went as far as inventing a year's worth of titles ( see). Someones also edited Bull (CSI) with the full plot of "next week's episode" ( see) As far as i know the writer's strike is still on, and no more episodes have been filmed because they have not been written, therefore no plot nor titles exist. We should keep an eye on this, i already saw that year long episode list on a CSI forum.-- Yamanbaiia( free hugs!) 21:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey just to give everyone a heads up, the user Travellingcari is proding various CSI:NY articles for deletion based on very sketchy reasons. I contested both prods I found on the talk page. His reasons:
On Minor characters in CSI: NY: 1) this is no different to List of CSI: NY characters, with significant overlap 2) several of the characters here, espec0ially Adam Ross and Sid Hammerback have their own pages, and this is duplication. Many of those remaining could be covered easily in CSI:NY. (Sounds like he should be using merge proposal instead of a prod. Gives no reason why to simply delete the page and loose information about characters not given elsewhere.0
On Stella Bonasera: No real means of writing it out of universe style and there is little substance apart from the episode by episode recount of her actions. Anything pre Season 4 is not sourceable due to the changes on the show's official site. Any crucial information on the character of Stella can be mentioned in the main article, namely that she's Mac's second in command and that her career started in Brooklyn North. (He gives no real reason why he thinks the article cannot be sourced out of universe and I pointed out that it is very possible since Gil Grissom is currently a good article. He also says on the discussion page he thinks, if his prod of this page is successful, he intends to prod every individual character page for CSI:NY for the same reason, which is getting out of hand.)
Just thought I'd give you a heads up on this guy so you can keep on eye on them. If they take this to AfD, I intend to fight it all the way as what he is complaining about is cleanup issues, not reasons for deletion. Redfarmer ( talk) 16:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Someone needs to set up an article for the Season 1 episode " $35K O.B.O.". It is the only CSI episode article that just redirects to the episode list in the season's article.-- Ifrit ( talk) 10:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
A number of episodes have been put up for speedy deletion. I got a note for Snow Day (CSI: NY episode) and there appears to be a list here: User talk:WJBscribe#"More" Copyvio's. Nancy seems to reversed most of them (it seems the nominator got the wrong end of the stick for some, mistaking Wikipedia mirrors for the original content, and removing copy violating material in other cases). It looks like there has been a tug of war of some (like Raising Caine) and we need to keep an eye out for problems - I removed some copy vio material from an entry a bit ago.
Obviously, the best answer is to remove the offending material and start again, however, it seems to be a lot are being speedied. I'll look at the ones that have been deleted and reverse those that were due to mistakes and then look into the others. If you spot anything drop a note in here, although if it is copyright violations remove the text first - we can always put it back in if it is a mistake. ( Emperor ( talk) 20:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC))

How about instead of just using yellow on everyone's infobox, we use different colo(u)rs depending on the series (for example the stargate infobox does it by the persons race) that they star in, and if we wanted to we could break it down to say a different shade if the person is deceased or if they have left the show (for example the actor one uses yellow if they are alive and silver they are dead.). Here are some sample colo(u)rs I have randomly come up. Peachey88 ( Talk Page | Contribs) 03:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear WikiProject CSI franchise participants... WikiProject Media franchises needs some help from other projects which are similar. Media franchises' scope deals primarily with the coordination of articles within the hundreds if not thousands of media franchises which exist. Sometimes a franchise might just need color coordination of the various templates used; it could mean creating an article for the franchise as a jump off point for the children of it; or the creation of a new templating system for media franchise articles. The project primarily focuses on multimedia franchises. It would be great if some of this project's participants would come over and help the project get back on solid footing. Also, if you know of similar projects which have not received this, let Lady Aleena ( talk · contribs) know. Please come and take a look at the project and see if you wish to lend a hand. You can sign up here if you wish. Thank you. LA @ 05:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Dear WikiProject CSI franchise participants... WikiProject Media franchises is currently discussing a naming convention for franchise articles.

Around a month ago, I compiled a list of episode articles below 3,072 bytes, as potential targets for merging into episode lists or the like, based on the assumption that they would fail to stand on their own were they to go to AFD. A lot of them are from the CSI franchise (at least half), so I'm posting here to get a few opinions on what should be done about the episodes, before doing anything unilateral. Relevant wikilinks: WP:N, WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:WAF. Thanks, Sceptre ( talk) 11:54, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
I admit, I am a picky bitch sometimes....but I am getting really tired of the people who are speculating about Lindsay's baby and changing her last name to Messer every two days. Also, only on the Lindsay/Danny pages - episode synopses are being posted that are almost directly cribbed from the CSI Files website. I would like to see all the CSI pages semi-protected from new and anonymous users, but I know that will not happen (my own personal gripe and I won't get on my soapbox about it here).
Would it be possible to semi-protect the Lindsay Monroe and Danny Messer pages for a period of 2 to 4 weeks from new and anon users? I think this might be long enough to get many of these people to give up on turning these pages into a soap opera and borderline fan fiction of late. Warning doesn't work - a new name or ip address just shows up two days later.
The only thing that hasn't been done to the Lindsay page is a name for the baby. Watch, as I write this, somebody probably is out there typing "Lindsay and Danny's daughter will be named Danniella Stella MacKenna Monroe-Messer". Pardon my sarcasm. Anyway, the season will be over relatively soon and much of the problem should go away after that unless CSI:NY ends the season with a big cliffhanger involving Lindsay in some sort of peril with her pregnancy or something else happens to her in Montana.
I simply want Wikipedia in general to be a good source of information and not so much of the crap I have been seeing lately, especially due to speculative posts from people who think CSI:NY is only about two supporting cast members. I'll shut up now, but look forward to replies. Bloo ( talk) 04:47, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how many people monitor WP:MOSTV or even WP:TV (the basic WikiProject for all of us), but we've been trying to get some feedback on additions to the TV Manual of Style. It largely has to do with the inclusion of "Overview" tables at the start of the page, the order in which season lists are presented (currently, there is no concrete order), and what is considered too much info for DVDs (i.e. should we be placing every detail about the box set in the article, from each interview to the aspect ratio, or should be keep it more generalized). Please see discussion at WT:MOSTV#Updates to the MOS. Thank you. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 22:07, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
This is a little complicated to explain, but an editor has redirected most CSI articles as non-notable without establishing consensus and then nominated Template:CSI season 1 episode list, Template:CSI season 2 episode list, Template:CSI season 3 episode list, etc. for deletion using the fact that they link to redirects as rationale. Also, Category:CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episodes has been nominated for speedy after the nom removed it from articles and templates by redirecting the articles (see above) and simply removing it from the templates s/he nominated for deletion. I'm opposing the template deletions. I don't know whether the articles formerly in the templates are notable, but that should be decided by consensus before they're redirected and their templates are nominated for deletion on that rationale.

I have noticed that episode pages range in content. It's been at least 18 months since this was last raised on this page and apparently not much has been done since. Many of these do not seem notable as they are two sentence plot summaries and basic credits which can be found in this article itself and/or the season pages. Tagging the poorer ones (including ones with just longer summaries and guest stars) with notability and eventually AfD seems like a good idea. Such has been done with List of CSI: NY episodes and List of CSI: Miami episodes, while only a handful over there are actually wikilinked. Redirecting to season pages is a viable option. Socby19 ( talk) 22:06, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey all, I just went through a bunch of episodes from season 8 and deleted plots that were blatant copyright violations (taken from the episode guide at CBS's CSI site). In most cases I was able to restore to an earlier version of the plot, though not in all cases. A couple of the ones I looked at appeared OK but the whole thing was getting tiresome so I might not have looked closely enough. Anyway, here are the ones I checked and edited; I strongly recommend other editors double-check my work and maybe fill out more of the plots.
These are the ones I looked at that I think are OK but should be vetted by someone else:
I found all these episodes after noticing one copyvio that editor Green Pirate had done and then went through and checked all their other edits. I did not look at any other episodes from season 8 (or any other season for that matter) so someone will probably want to look at those as well. SQGibbon ( talk) 08:24, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
An editor, Jane Rizzoli, has made many changes to these three pages: "List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation characters", "List of CSI: Miami characters", and "List of CSI: NY characters". I don't like those changes and have started a discussion on the "Talk:List of CSI: NY characters" page. If anyone likes or dislikes the new look please comment on that page. If no one comments, her new look will probably prevail. I won't like it, but I'll go along with the consensus. Jaguar766 ( talk) 23:45, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
User JDDJS ( talk) has converted the vast majority of CSI episode articles for season four and five to redirects example with the comment "(#REDIRECT CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (season 5) not a notable episode)".

It has been suggested that WikiProject CSI franchise be merged into WikiProject Television as a task force since the project might be inactive or semi-active. After reviewing this project that it appears that there have not been any active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial.

Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
