Regarding the One Piece airdates - Alright, I'm going to compromise with you here. I'm adding DVD information to the bottom of the page in the same format that the DVDs are cataloged on the List of One Piece episodes page.

"Airdates", as the word implies, refers to the date that the episode aired. This does not refer to the date that an episode was released on DVD. Wikipedia episode always refer to the date of an episode airing, with the exception of episodes that failed to air on television (such as the dub of episodes 196-206 of One Piece), in which case DVD release dates are perfectly acceptable.

To provide an example, look at List of Naruto Shippuden episodes. Viz Media has released every episode of their dub prior to any television airdates, but the english airdates on that page refer to the show's airings on Disney XD or Neon Alley. Why? Because those are the DATES when they AIRed! This is the case with practically every single other "List of ____ Episodes" page on Wikipedia as well.

And to borrow the terminology you used before, putting the DVD release dates in the airdate columns "ruins the integrity" of the episode lists more than putting in the Toonami airdates. We don't need the same date listed 13 times in a row when a box listing the DVD release dates would suffice. Gibshamari (talk) 01:19, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
