Race

edit

I have noticed that the critical reception section of this article makes no mention of the widespread criticism of the treatment of race in this episode. As well, the visual aspects of the treatment of race in this episode have been mentioned by critics and thus may need to be elaborated in the description of the image used on this page.

I think widespread criticism is an exaggeration. Especially amongst notable sources. If you can produce some sources, let's see them. --SubSeven (talk) 19:01, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hm... So what exactly is wrong with the cast when it depicts someone with albino features resulting from incestuous relations in their lineage freeing slaves in a region that is based on ancient Egypt? 84.63.37.20 (talk) 13:38, 16 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Whether Wikipedians consider that "wrong" is unimportant. Like SubSeven said, it's all about notable sources.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 15:07, 16 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Reliable sources, you mean. Now added.  Sandstein  20:19, 19 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Plot length

edit

WP:FILMPLOT suggests that plots for feature films should be between 400 and 700 words. The current plot is 1394. I will grant that most episodes of GoT are complex - and the season finales exceptionally so - but I still feel like much of the prose is inconsequential to the plot. Do we really need these first two sentences to describe what happened at King's Landing?

The icy relationship between newly married Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) and Sansa (Sophie Turner) is thawing slightly, as they stroll and banter about how to deal with the public mockery of their shared status as outcasts. They are soon met by Podrick Payne (Daniel Portman), who tells Tyrion that he has been summoned to a Small Council meeting.

Don't get me wrong - it makes for great reading, but it's not encyclopedic. Has there ever been a consensus to allow for such verbose plot descriptions for this series? Hoof Hearted (talk) 14:10, 11 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

No, a consensus hasn't formed about it. I too like elegant writing, but I think it isn't as desirable in an encyclopedia. It certainly isn't desirable in a plot summary. Maybe a reworking is called for? - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:47, 11 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

RfC on Oathkeeper

edit

There's an RS RfC on the Oathkeeper talk page. Participation (and fresh voices) would be welcome. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:43, 16 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

RfC: Is Westeros.org an expert SPS?

edit

There is an RfC at Oathkeeper regarding whether the site Westeros.org meets the criteria for an expert self-published source (and is therefore suitable for use on Wikipedia). It is being cited as a source for the statement "This episode was based on [specific chapters of] [specific book]." This article is likely to be affected by the outcome. Participation is welcome. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:43, 2 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

The RfC concerning Westeros.org was closed with the result that the value of the disputed text should be addressed separately. This RfC is meant to determine whether Game of Thrones episode articles should have a statement like "This episode was based on [specific chapters] of [specific book]" in the body text. The outcome of this RfC is likely to affect all Game of Thrones episode articles. Participation is greatly appreciated. Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:32, 28 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
