Talk:Casualty series 29

Connie is sufficient
/* Main Characters */ She is only Known as Connie. Reference removed as it had no connection with Connie. Soap characters are not "born" so removed neé. Do we want her maiden name here in her Lead paragraph? I think not. — &#124; Gareth Griffith-Jones &#124; The Welsh Buzzard&#124; — 12:04, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Short summaries
Multiple times have I seen short summaries copied from another website (such as Radio Times or Digital Spy) and pasted onto the page, with a bit of tweaking applied. This is COPY-EDITING. Please stop this as ALL written material should be in your own words. 109.147.111.205 (talk) 12:08, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Concur. Thank you. I have been battling these blatent attempts to avoid breaching copyright infringements for many months. — &#124; Gareth Griffith-Jones &#124; The Welsh Buzzard&#124; — 20:36, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * My IP address is changing a lot for some reason, and I despise mobile editing, but this is the only way I can keep my IP address the same, so apologies for any spelling errors which may occur. I have noticed in the history you've been reverting many copy-editing issues, which is brilliant. I'll help keep this page free from copy-editing as well. Many thanks for the support, and it's nice to see a few people helping to keep this page free from copyright infringement!  Keep up the great work!  109.147.111.205 (talk) 14:47, 5 Janaury 2015 (UTC)

Episodes
I've identified two issues in the 'Episodes' section of this article:

1) Short summaries (again!) are being copied from other sources such as Radio Times, BBC, Digital Spy; short summaries CANNOT be copied from other articles, even when provided with a source, as this breaches copyright rules. Furthermore, I've noticed some information being added to the episodes which provides no enhancement to the summary whatsoever, but only extends it, could we refrain from this in the future?

2) Episode count DOES NOT add up. I know we've taken the episode number (48) from the BBC website, but with Radio Times excluding the three exclusive Casualty episodes (DEADFALL, THE ROAD NOT TAKEN, HOLBY SIN CITY) taking their episode count total to 46. As there have been three exclusive episodes, there would be 49 episodes in series 29, not 48. Furthermore, this would mean Series 30 starts before it is really scheduled to, particularly as the first two episodes in Series 30 have been written and directed by Paul Unwin, and focus massively on Charlie. Would it be a wise idea to move the three episodes to the List of Casualty episodes page, class the episodes in a new section named: "Holby Noir", and then take the count down to 46?

Please say if you feel the idea suggested in bracket two would not be appropriate. 86.190.91.49 (talk) 14:23, 2 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I'd be more inclined to believe the tally on the BBC site than the Radio Times one. Skarloey (talk) 16:28, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Episode descriptions from TV guide
Where do you get the episode descriptions from if not the official TV guide? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt14451 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 15 August 2015 (UTC)


 * You write them yourself. Wikipedia has a zero tolerance to copyright. All summaries must be written in your own words. 86.190.91.4 (talk) 21:35, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Episode 960

 * The episode description says "Dylan ... runs down to get his lucky talisman before escaping". What was that talisman? When I watched this episode, I got the impression that Dylan was trying to rescue the piece of paper with his obsessive–compulsive disorder-related checklist written on it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:20, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Was it not some sort of coin or necklace thing on the table? I was just copy-editing what had been written initially, but I've missed a few episodes before the series finale so not completely up to speed on the context. Skarloey (talk) 20:22, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I re-watched the scene on BBC iPlayer, and can confirm it was his 'lucky' talisman. 86.128.48.252 (talk) 22:12, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
