After the Storm as a source

[edit]

Can we use After the Storm as a source for an episode plot? For example, the episode shows a weird dream at the end, and After thd Storm explains that it's Alder's memory. Thank you. IKhitron (talk) 18:03, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, episode plot summaries are supposed to be in your own words. — YoungForever(talk) 18:39, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I know that, of course, I'm asking about the facts. IKhitron (talk) 19:14, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any problem with that... and I would have assumed, myself, that the sequence was Adler's memories without the YouTube confirmation, so if I had written the summary, that's what it would have said. But clearly After the Storm is about as official a source as you can get, so if there were disagreement on a plot point in a summary and the aftershow clarified it, then that seems like a highly reliable source to use. In general we do not list sources for plot summaries, so I wouldn't think we'd need to list a citation unless for some reason a plot point was highly contentious among editors and the aftershow provided an answer to the debate. I.e. write the summary referring to it as Adler's memories... if there is someone who disagrees, point them to the aftershow... if they are still being unreasonable after that, we should talk it through here until the hypothetical non-understander is illuminated. —Joeyconnick (talk) 19:06, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"three witches conscripted" in the lead and premise

[edit]

So currently we have "three witches conscripted" in the lead and the premise sections... but Tally wasn't conscripted, was she? Wasn't she specifically exempted but, to her mother's dismay, chose to serve anyway?

I mean... I suppose we could leave it as an over-simplification but it would be more accurate to say "three young witches serving in the US Army". —Joeyconnick (talk) 02:09, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why no descriptive notations for all characters?

[edit]

Why are the Bellwether characters not mention in depth like the other characters. 2601:743:300:3D50:39CA:23B8:CD5A:2B17 (talk) 05:41, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scylla's last name

[edit]

It's strange to me that Scylla's last name is listed after the fact, instead of just writing out her full name and sourcing it directly, like all of the other characters. This show is in the third season and her last name has been reliably sourced many, many times by now. I have tried to change this in the past and it got reverted, which is ridiculous.

As per WP:TVCAST – we go by WP:COMMONNAME, and Scylla's last name is trivial, as it is hardly ever mentioned in the series itself. So she is simply ID'ed by her first name. That is different than someone like Raelle, whose surname is mentioned on the show often. Fictional character are not real people, so guidelines like MOS:SURNAME do not apply. --IJBall (contribstalk) 15:48, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
