Come on guys, check your references, numbers 8 through 13 need some formatting work. Good article though, I plan on watching this series.-- Isaidnoway (talk) 07:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this article would benifit from adding an image to the infobox. I wondered whether someone could upload and add a picture of the title card with the logo? Frogkermit (talk) 17:24, 31 October 2012 (UTC) Added titlecard image in infobox Frogkermit (talk) 19:23, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Many a time now I have had to revert the title for eps 9/10 from 'Fall of the Nekross' back to TBA. 'Fall of the Nekross' hasn't been confirmed in a press release by the BBC like the other titles, so can people please stop adding it. Besides, it seems like and odd name for the penultamate story, seems more like the type of name for a final story. So, can people please stop adding 'Fall of the Nekross' as a title for eps 9/10, as it is unconfirmed and very unlikley this is the name for this story. Thanks.

Unfortunately, it appears that the episode summaries have been copied from the BBC website, as per http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/keyword/?term=Wizards+vs+Aliens. Thus I've had to remove them from the article, but obviously there's no problem if someone would like to write their own summaries of each to replace them, (noting that Wikipedia can't accept the copyrighted versions). That generally works better anyway, as the official blurbs are more promotional, whereas we can write a more accurate summary of each episode. - Bilby (talk) 11:02, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This comment is mainly directed at Bilby, regarding the episode summaries for wizards vs aliens and wolfblood.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, i've had other stuff to do. I do see where you are coming from, but the thing is, this text was releasedin a press release,used to promote the show, that could also be used in other media. I genuinely don't see the BBC having a problem with us using the text. But if it must go, the summaries that you have been writing seem to be too long, remember they are meant ti be short summaries. I don't think that each episode should have a summary longer than 3 lines. Also, i don't think that the whole plot of each episode should be revealed, it just needs to have a bit of information, like the old summaries did. The summaries that heve been written for Grazlax attacks Pt 2 and Rebel Magic Pt 1 are good, this is what each episode needs. Also, just to remind you, Nekross is spelt double s. If you are willing to write summaries for each episode like the old ones, fine, go ahead, but otherwise, i really don't see the BBC having a problem with the old summaries. Thanks.

I'll write shorter summaries, and thanks for the spelling correction - somehow I'd missed that. In all honesty I agree with you that I can't see the BBC objecting. However, the problem lies with our relicensing. The text here is licensed as free use, but we can't license someone else's work that way, as only the copyright owner can release the work. We would need the BBC to relicense their descriptions to be free use as well. It would be nice to be able to use the summaries as they stand, but Wikipedia's licensing requirements prevent that from being an option. - Bilby (talk) 17:15, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
