Bias

There is trouble with links of the characters of dis series. Some, like Luthor, Lionel, Cloe and the characters created for the show are O.K. Some others like Clark, Lana's and Clark's parents link to COMIC BOOK pages.

Please sign your comments. As for the character pages, if they go to the comics it's because that is the place they originated from, and the Smallville portion is mentioned there. If they go to their own page it's because they are not part of the comic book lore. Bignole 23:03, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cast

Ok, I think we need to all sit down and figure out what we are going to consider is what in the cast list. This can get confusing, especially when they decide to keep someone, or drop them. Jenson was supposed to be a regular cast member, and even was in the credits, but wasn't in every episode and was dropped at the end of the season. How many episodes should we require to list their status as (Season ...) or (Recurring Season...)? I think if they reach a certain number of episodes they should be upgraded. I mean, Lois started as a recurring character but since she gets the same amount of episodes every season, and has been consistant since season 4, it seems right to just list her status as (Season 4 - present).

I think it would be good to note that Shawn Ashmore appeared in Season 1 episode 12 as well as season 3 episode 9 as the character Eric Summers. Shawn is the twin brother of Aaron Ashmore who is playing the character Jimmy Olson. If it doesnt fall into a regular character catagory then it would be good to add a trivia heading to note this info. M8gen

I know that only 2 appearances isn't a regular cast member. Sarah Carter (Alicia) was in 3 episodes but she wasn't a regular, nor a recurring character. She was merely a special guest. What I'm trying to find out is what should establish a recurring role from a regular role. Bignole 04:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i assumed he was since Aaron has only appeared in 1 episode so far that has aired and is listed on IMDB as season 6 ep1 and season 6 ep 3(which has not aired yet)M8gen

Aaron is going to be in more than just 2 episodes, he was just put up on the list a little two early. Bignole 11:12, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

makes sense to wait then. any thoughts on adding a trivia section? the twin thing made me so curious and i researched it and it wasnt til i looked at images that i noticed the twin factor. i thought i had imagined seeing aarons face in the show already. M8gen

Lost (TV series)

I think we could start taking a page out of their book. Bignole 02:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bio (Smallville)

Howcome lex gets his own "Lex Luthor (Smallville)" page and Clark and Lana don't? I think it's safe to say the 3 are in the same situation and therefore should be treated the same way in wikipedia... aren't they?--201 03:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This has already been brought up. I don't know why Lex has his own page. I'll rectify that accordingly and place a "merge" tag on the smallville page, because it shouldn't be there. Bignole 03:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia sections are usually discouraged. It's more advisable to include a note in the test where he is mentioned. Also, even if it's superficial, it could be good to just have a reference to where someone else mentions that little fact. I mean it's obvious that they are twins, but sometimes it's good to have all your ducks in a row, and currently the main article is plagued with little citations.
