This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the The Flash (2014 TV series) page.


This article falls within a proposed limits on quotations policy.

The subject of this article is a television show, and as a result, the proposal would set a limitation of one quote for less than 30 minutes, two quotes for 30 minute shows, and five quotes for 60 minute shows (see our TV policy for shows of other lengths).

If you would like to add another quote to the page, you should consider whether to remove one that is already there in order to keep within the bounds of fair use of copyright material.
For reference, the length of this work is: 60 min.


Supergirl Worlds Finest crossover section[edit]

I'm aware that there is no Supergirl page in Wikiquote. (Why there isn't is beyond me, as it's popular and been renewed for another season.)

That said, I don't see why there's a problem with having a small section here in The Flash for a few quotes from the Worlds Finest episode. My header acknowledges that 1. Yes, this is a Supergirl episode; 2. It still ties in with the "Versus Zoom" episode (watch it, you'll like it!); 3. It's separate from the other quotes, so it won't throw off the order number and allows room for future crossovers, if any; 4. This is an atypical cross-network crossover event, so it should be acknowledged and featured here in The Flash; 5. I limited the quotes to Barry as the Flash to allow for any other quotes made in a Supergirl page.

FTR BTW, I don't watch Supergirl. I've seen clips and parts of it, but it hasn't grabbed me the way Flash or Arrow did. (I defer on Legends of Tomorrow for now.) I only watched "Worlds Finest" because of the Flash crossover. So I can't really create a Supergirl page. Somebody else, please, go for it.

Comments? Questions?

@Ooznoz: I think the place for it is on the Supergirl page, same as Flash and Arrow crossover episodes appear in the page of the show they happened on. I don't think there's a problem for you to create Supergirl page just with that episode and more stuff will join later. I'd do it, but I was caught up with a lot of uni work lately and haven't had much time. (Side note: Thanks heaps for keeping Arrow, Flash and LOT up-to-date!).
I have a break now and some uni work to catch up on and also TV shows :) Maybe if I have time I'll create a Supergirl page. If you get it started though it would be easier! :D
Also I think a problem of having it on The Flash page is that all the universe and characters apart from the Flash are Supergirl universe and characters.

@Ooznoz: As you are not answering I shall assume you agree with me and re-remove the episode? --SuperJew (talk) 05:20, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that. Busy day of my own and a lot on my plate.
I'm intrigued at creating a Supergirl page and I'll see about doing it over the weekend. If I did, I would use other quotes from "Worlds Finest" that are more "Supergirl"-centric. The one of Calista Flockhart saying everyone looks like a CW cast - on a CBS show - is a classic and needs to be displayed. Since such a page would be THE Supergirl page ostensibly, it makes sense that initial quotes be of the episode. I can only hope others will fill in the gaps. So, I will try to rise to the challenge of creating a Supergirl page.
I still believe that the quotes here need to remain. Like I said before, "Versus Zoom" and "Worlds Finest" are tied together, and as long as quotes are kept restricted to Barry as the Flash on "Supergil", showcasing his appearance while keeping Supergirl Supergirl, I don't see that there would be any confusion with readers. Especially if there were notations or any "see also" notes.
I would like to know what other readers think about this before any potential removal is made. If we can get a further discussion going than just you and me, I think it would help matters. Anybody else want to weigh in? Please?
Either way, let's leave it for now, I'll work on a Supergirl page when I can, and hopefully we can accomplish something fun. :)
BTW, you're welcome about my keeping up the Arrow, Flash and LOT pages. It's actually kinda fun.

The problem with having the episode on both pages is it creates a situation where there is a repetition of information, or one episode gets to have 10 quotes on wikiquote, as opposed to all the rest which only have 5. If the tying in is very important you can just link to it like has been done (I think by you) on Arrow/Flash crossovers --SuperJew (talk) 12:57, 22 April 2016 (UTC) FTR, that was the 2-part "Legends" crossover, which was the same story told over 2 episodes.Ooznoz (talk) 13:36, 22 April 2016 (UTC)Ooznoz[reply]
That's why I limited the Flash section to only "Barry as Flash", which are fewer than 5 (it comes to 3 - the heart-to-heart that they have is more Kara/Barry, and that belongs on Supergirl). Also, this is a rather unique circumstance, since it's cross-network, not just cross-show pollination, so I believe it should be featured in The Flash page. Any "Supergirl" quotes I, you or anyone else puts in a Supergirl page would be more generalized and have quotes related to the episode in a Supergirl-centered way. That way, no confusion, no repetition.
Also, there's plenty of repetition between Wikiquote pages. Just look at Doctor Who pages (pages my fingerprints are also all over). There are many episodes that have multiple appearances on different characters' pages, coming to more than 10 quotes per show, and it's all good there. So, this can work out here as well. :)

New "Supergirl" page[edit]

Greetings, SuperJew.

There is now a Supergirl TV series page in Wikiquote: Supergirl (TV series)

Sadly, the only quotes are for the "Worlds Finest" episode, there's only one external link (I'm not a Hulu or IMDb subscriber) and I accidentally created a page template before making the page through the Help page. But, hey, it's my first page! :'(

Anyway... go wild, love child. Have fun with it, and spread the word. :D
