Validity of episode titles
What validity do the episode titles have? The ones used here for S1-3 are all cited from the German language DVD for sale on Amazon.de. There, they are in German; I cannot see them there in English, let alone a claim that they are the English titles when translated back. This latter seems important, as the DVDs are subtitled "Cops Under Suspicion" which as a subtitle not seen in English (as far as I have found) does a great job of undermining the validity of this approach. I've not yet found an English RS for what the English titles are, if they exist. I had a quick look at an episode but did not see it given a title. I'd be very happy to see titles in use - these or others, if they exist - but they must be properly referenced.

It seems to me that in their current form, cited as they are, these titles have very limited legitimacy here on the English Wikipedia though I imagine they are fine, in German, in the German article. I suggest they should either be referenced to an English RS, or simply removed and replaced with the episode number. This seems to work fine for S4 in our article.

 * I agree with removing them. Wishing you all the best!&#160;Cheers! Gareth&#160;Griffith&#8209;Jones  ( The Welsh Buzzard ) 10:50, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

IMDB - Wikipedia cannot accept IMDb as a reliable source
I won't challenge this - however these references are everywhere in Wikipedia. Particularly when in TV shows and episode lists. :: Kevinalewis  : (Talk Page) /(Desk)  08:47, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Content from websites whose content is largely user-generated is also generally unacceptable. Sites with user-generated content include personal websites, personal blogs, group blogs, internet forums, IMDb, Ancestry.com, Find-a-Grave, ODMP, content farms, most wikis including Wikipedia, and other collaboratively created websites. Although review aggregator sites such as Rotten Tomatoes are used across the site, audience ratings based on the reviews of site members from the public are not. In particular, a wikilink is not a reliable source. Cheers! Gareth Griffith-Jones (contribs) (talk) 11:16, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Season 5 Episode 4
The title on Acorn.tv is The Betrayl - a misspelling of the word "Betrayal":.

The title on IMDb does not have that misspelling. Likewise the fandom.

I know that both IMDb and the fandom are not WP:RS&ZeroWidthSpace;es. Do we have any further evidence that Acorn is correct with the misspelling? Timtjtim (talk) 19:39, 30 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Apple TV doesn't have the misspelling either. It's not a great source, but when compared to Acorn it's roughly on the same level, so I went ahead and corrected it to Betrayal and added it as a source. The Doctor Who  (talk) 04:34, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
