Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because... (your reason here) --C.bonnick (talk) 18:46, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that page should be redirected to the main Thomas page until it gains sufficient context to identify its subject. C.bonnick (talk) 18:46, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adaptation[edit]

I believe that Henry's Hero is based on the Railway Series story Out of Puff. Both stories involve Henry taking on bad coal.

We Want 2 More Season 17 Episodes!![edit]

Season 18 had already started in August 25 and I wish the No More Mr. Nice Engine and Thomas' Shortcut can be released. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.16.8 (talk) 14:38, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Did No More Mr. Nice Engine and Thomas' Shortcut really air on 15 August 2014? And what channel did it air on? CourtneyBonnick (talk) 19:23, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Channel 5 followed their current practice throughout August of airing one Thomas episode a day, Monday to Friday but not weekends. They started the month part-way through series 14 (airing episodes 9 - 20 but excluding the three Christmassy episodes, giving 9 in total), followed by episodes 1 - 7 of series 15 (7 episodes) and then the first 5 (new) episodes of series 18 (21 weekdays, 21 episodes). As far as I am aware Nick Jr. did not broadcast any Thomas episodes during August; they start again this week with a "special" on the 3rd and then one (two-episode) program daily from Saturday 6th. The first airing of the two final episodes of series 17 currently remains outstanding. Kwerty (talk) 02:32, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Colour contrast problems[edit]

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) 05:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
