Creators leaving?

More details? And its loss, not lose. The ref for that sentance has nothing on old producers.--86.139.41.4 (talk) 20:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How much more detail are you looking for? I added "at the end of the seventh season" for a time frame reference. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Viewers?

Where are you guys comming up with these ratings? On Krypton site, there is in one case up to a million more viewers than what you have here. ChaosMaster16 (talk) 15:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC) ChaosMaster16[reply]

Because Kryptonsite posts the "estimated" ratings based on the night after the showed aired. The ratings we have were posted 1 week later, and are the official ratings (i.e. the literal number). That is why there was such a stark difference in that one episode, because there were quite a few episodes that did not air in some locations because of the Baseball playoffs, so they had to estimate the viewers based on the viewers in other locations. When the show was officially aired the next night (or night after that), they took those numbers. Chances are, most people didn't realize that the show was moved to a different night for those games, and didn't tune in to actually watch the show.

Bulletproof

Hi, I would like to add the plot and the cast section to episode 12 called "Bulletroof". If someone wants to take a look at it first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sha-Sanio/Smallville/Bulletproof: You can leave a message on my talk page, if you don't agree with my contribution. Thanks! Sha-Sanio (talk) 20:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you are referring to. Do you mean a page (ala Bulletproof (Smallville)), or just to add a plot description to this page? If it's the former, than I don't think there is independent coverage from professional reviewers on "Bulletproof" to warrant a separate mentioning. If it is the latter, well it's already on this page. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 21:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Season 9

I have created a season nine page (Smallville (Season 9) and redirected it here.ChaosMaster16 (talk) 02:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)ChaosMaster16[reply]

The proper title should not have "season" capitalized. It should also be redirected to Smallville, not here, because this page won't contain any information about season nine. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Air Dates

I have found the official airdate for Stilleto (not splled correctly). It is April 23, 2009. From this, we can now predict the airdate of the following episodes. I have also sourced it.ChaosMaster16 (talk) 00:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)ChaosMaster16[reply]

We cannot predict airdates, they can change all the way up to the night it airs (i.e. it gets pulled). TV.com is user submitted, just like IMDb, so I removed those sources. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:33, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Colour contrast problems

It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
