Episode 1 Name[edit]

Based on what appears on the episode, the all the tv guide descriptions, and most websites it looks like 3.1 was renamed to "Pack Of Wolves" instead of the listed "Bad Blood".

I actually agreed, since that's what my TV guide said also, right up until I went to get a citation from HBO to confirm. They have it as "Bad Blood" (see [1]) and I think we have to accept that as reasonably authoritative. It may be that they simply haven't updated the HBO website; I'll check back in a while.

Well, if the episode wasn't renamed as suggested above, then what happened? "Pack of Wolves" name actually is appearing in many places, so what does it mean? Was it renamed FROM "Pack of Wolves" to "Bad Blood", or what? 85.217.34.218 (talk) 03:23, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the topic of that episode, the citation on the 2.9/8 rating links to a forum. Should we wait an see if someone else finds a better source, or should that line be deleted for now?DrProsec (talk) 04:36, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ratings issue[edit]

Why not include the DVR numbers? These are low. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truth And Relative Dissention In Space (talk • contribs) 16:06, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]


- I've been updating ratings for a few weeks and someone seems to have a problem with the 3x09 episode. The ratings given by TVbythenumbers is 4.996 for the Aug. 15th episode. So rounded, it gives 5.00, but someone keeps erasing it to replace by 4.99. Please respect math, and stop changing it. - Aug. 19th 2010

I've been watching these back and forth edits but didn't realize what was going on until you posted here. You are correct; 4.996 rounded up by one place does equal 5, and not 4.99, because the 6, of course, rounds up not down. However, not being very familiar with the episode ratings aspect of the WP:TV group (I'm a text nerd in wiki terms), I'm not positive that there isn't some precedent or consensus that violates the rules of math in such a way. If the issue is the number of decimal points included, then 5.00 would seem to be the math accurate way to go. Again though, I'm not familiar with the ratings guidelines for the project. Can someone who has been reverting these changes chime in? There's nothing in WP:TVMOS to indicate rounding in such an unusual manner is preferred.

- That's what I realized but I didn't know of these talk page... we would have spare time :D No harm done. I don't really know if there is any rule about tv ratings though but as a TB fan i prefer to see (in a math logical) 5 million rather than 4. Again sorry for the wasting of time. Next time (not saying there has to be another one) i'll use the box first ^^ - (19 Aug 2010) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.236.90.245 (talk) 00:15, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well there's some info in the MOS about different ways to list ratings (by episode, season, etc., it's pretty flexible depending on what each show needs). I couldn't find anything that pertains to rounding that specifically covered this issue, however. I searched through the talk page archives on the main project and couldn't find anything there either. In the future, yes, bringing something up on the talk page can be helpful but you were being WP:BOLD so no harm done. Edit summaries can help, too; I can't recall if you used one when you first made the change. It's possible you've been reverted out of well-intentioned reflex since sneaky single digit number changes are a specific kind of vandalism we see in TV and film articles. In any case, the math nerd in me says thanks for catching the error and also "d'oh!" for my not catching on sooner. Millahnna (mouse)talk 00:58, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My only problem is that the number doesn't match the reference. Why doesn't the source round them up? Ravenscroft32 (talk) 10:15, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
For whatever reason they seem to be fine with going all the way to the third decimal. Is there any particular reason we couldn't do that? I haven't looked too closely at how the ratings line up in the tables; would it bork the alignment or something? I know that can be tricky in infoboxes so I'm guessing it might be an issue here.

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]
