Talk:The Flash season 4

The Flash Season 4 colour
Does anyone have any opinions on the colours presented here and here? --  Alex TW 03:00, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This looks much better in the article. The other is almost black. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 04:08, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree that 360E17 looks nearly black... but I do think it is extremely important to be able to easily and quickly differentiate between season colours (the colours for seasons 1 and 2 are waaaaaaaay too close to one another, for example) so I'm glad to hear Alex arguing that colour prominence needn't be the only factor considered. That being said, I find the difference between season 3 and the lighter red here (7C1C1A) different enough in this case. The darker red and the season 1 and 2 colours also look far too close to one another, so if the darker red were chosen, we'd have 3 seasons with very similar colours and 3 would stand out more than it should. Looking at the colour map, though, I'd probably go with 43307D just to be clearly distinct. —Joeyconnick (talk) 06:03, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, was the first colour picked by Alex when the poster was released (see here). I had originally changed the colour since I was under the impression that the MOST prominent colour should always be picked, but since that doesn't seem to be the case I don't mind using that one since it is to most distinct. - Brojam (talk) 22:48, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Taking names from the series episodes
We don't usually take the names of the characters from the eps themselves. We use references. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:08, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * "We don't usually?" That sounds worded in a way as to support your POV without you having to provide backup for that opinion of yours. Can you point us to a guideline or policy that specifies this? Because I am pretty sure I could likewise say "we usually go with whatever Cisco calls them in an episode and don't bother waiting for a secondary source since character names or monikers are elements that can clearly be sourced using primary sources, much like we do with plot details" and that would be as valid as your interpretation that we for some unexplained reason need a different standard before including character names/superheroic aliases/etc.
 * Also, since "The Fiddler" was listed (and was fine by everyone) until you came along, could you revert your removal of it until we've finished this discussion, as per WP:BRD? Thanks. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:26, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, when I used "we", it was the royal 'We', as in 'We at Wikipedia'. We use sources here. Plot outlines are often excepted from that requirement, with the understanding that group consensus is going to arrive at the version that most fits "reality". If someone challenges it, it is out unless it can be cited.
 * I recall an exemplar situation with someone being called the Joker at the Gotham article. It took forever; people going back and forth with the 'was he or was he not' arguments ad nauseum. The way it was settled was to use reliably-sourced references only. I find it works best, and it fits perfectly within our policies regarding the use of references.
 * Just because a character in an episode one-offs a name doesn't make it that character's name. the comic book character is male and has an entirely different backstory. So, without references, it cannot be in the article. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:53, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
