Here is Lewis' father in the second row
Fair enough, but I really wish they would keep his parents consistent. It makes work more complicated for us. Right now, Wikisimpsons is doing so much better than us. I'm overworked as it is and I'm seriously starting to lose hope. Who knew such a show could have such a massive influence. Well I guess this is the biggest show that the media can glamorize and push on so many people, even the smart ones who have higher standards (thanks to more developed shows like Naruto, SatAM, DuckTales, and One Piece, where the universe is so in-depth, the series has to have a writers bible. But for this series, everything is "Depending on the Writer". Makes you wonder of this wiki has a purpose, or if anything other than what's given to us on Fox's site is relevant to anything. If it's one thing I can't stand, it's inconsistency, and Season 24 is caked with it! --Kid Sonic (talk) 04:19, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. It happens a lot with shows that last this long. The inconsistency can be very confusing at times and can be tough to deal with, especially if something is already set in stone. We just need to keep moving forward is the best I can say on this matter. {{SUBST:User:THE CJ IS BACK/Signature}}. 04:29, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
- It really depends on whether or not a show as createed to have an arc or whether it is episodic. An episodic series is one where each episode is pretty much a standalone episode that may or may not have references to previous episodes. A series with a story arc is a journey, going from introducing the characters to reaching a goal that was set by the creators of the show. Lost and Babylon 5 are examples of arc series, with the latter being described as "one story told over 5 years" and was actually too big to be told entirely on TV so novels, comics and TV movies were written to cover the rest.
- The Simpsons is an episodic series and since the writing staff usually changes on a TV series about every three to five years, there is going to be inconsistencies and contradictions. The staff do what they can to limit them, but they will always creep through.
- This is where fan-run websites and wikis come into play. I have seen many examples where these sites are better than the official website because the fans' love of the show prompts them to dig into the details that someone who is paid to be a part of the show may not think is important or may not have the motivation to work on. One of the people who works on Phineas and Ferb has said that she used the Phineas and Ferb Wiki as a reference when writing an episode. And the creator of Babylon 5 used The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 website while he was writing the show.
- I have always said that each person should work on a wiki because they want to and love doing it, not because it's a competition. I have not edited much recently because I was moving, but I think I can return to more frequent editing in the next week. —RRabbit42 (leave a message) 14:39, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
