Netflix

No mention of Netflix in the article yet, but (presumably depending on the country) it is being marketed as a Netflix Original.

It seems to be on Netflix (UK) within 48-72 hours, I'm not entirely sure, it might be several days after its US air date. It's definitely within a week though. Mongoletsi (talk) 17:52, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Episodes

I can't actually be bothered to work out who did what and when; but whoever ****** up the Episodes section, could you please fix it? Mongoletsi (talk) 17:53, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has fixed it, but there was no reason why you could not - "aw but mum i don't wanna" is not a reason. -- Alex^TW 18:08, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Given I was supposed to be implementing a UK-wide service for all FE colleges, and not looking at DC characters... I didn't exactly have time. But I did come back to check :) Mongoletsi (talk) 21:17, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is a tool that can show how a sentence/paragraph and who made it, but I can't recall the name of it, and only used it once, several years ago... - Jack Sebastian (talk) 23:19, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LaWanda stylization

@Brojam and AlexTheWhovian: It should be LaWanda, with a capital "W". You can see this on IMDB, IGN, AV Club, TV Tropes, Spoiler TV, etc. Also the name itself is stylized that way (such as LaWanda Cox and LaWanda Page), as it is a combination of the prefix "La" and the name "Wanda", as you can read here. --SuperJew (talk) 21:39, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb and SpoilerTV are not considered reliable sources, to start off with. And Futon lists them with a lowercase "w" in its official episode listing, not some reviews. Futon's episode listing is also comprised of press releases direct from the network itself, not the choices of Futon's editorial team. -- Alex^TW 21:44, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewers often make mistakes with episode titles. Also, all three major tv guides have it without a capital "w". Futon TV Guide Zap2it. - Brojam (talk) 21:48, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Brojam and AlexTheWhovian: What about anything official from the CW or Black Lightning? Found that the CW's site has it as LaWanda. --SuperJew (talk) 18:15, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
