Talk:Dangers dans le ciel

Thirty Years Ago

On 1st September 1983, the drama of KE007. In memory of all the people victims of these fateful circumstances.
Further episodes will follow in the coming days but feel free to complete this wide TV aviation serie as I haven't all of them.
All the 109 episodes (at this date) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mayday_episodes
LVCDC 14:30, 2 September 2013 (MDT)

The second upload will be about the other flight with a similar fate : Iran Air 655 (already 25 years !). LVCDC 11:55, 22 September 2013 (MDT)

Is this Episode Online and (un)completed ?

Please, remember that a TV serie is split by seasons but not by episodes (look at TV Series section in : http://www.impdb.org/index.php?title=Help:Contents#Formatting ).
Inside each season, the aircraft types are given once but inside each of them, you can list the different episodes in which the viewer will find them.
The following list is built from the data found on wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mayday_episodes ) which could be different from your country's broadcasting or the DVD edition.
The Status Column gives how to consider each episode :

• Empty : for episodes not yet online;
• C : indicates an episode coming soon;
• O : for those uncompleted (please, try to list what is missing on the right column):
• OK : if all is right.

Please, do not change the order even if it's different from an other list (even from a DVD edition) ! Many thanks for your help and contributions.

Name

Should this be renamed "Mayday", as it's the original name of the series and it seems to be policy on the rest of the site that movies and shows should be titled by their original name? Corkeyandpals 22:24, 17 September 2013 (MDT)

Interesting problem ! The serie is canadian and seems baptised with the both names, sold with the one that suits the best depending the nationality of the customer broadcasting network. If you search 'Mayday', the page will be returned as the title is given at the line 'also known as'.

I've mostly worked from the french langage variant which could be slighty different from the british langage one (I'm not sure Gérard Feltzer -despite fully bilingual as a former pilot instructor on Boeings and Airbuses- would appear in the english world). This problem of rework movies/TV series should have a debate on the forum as I've already uploaded pages which refers to such cases : how to consider them ?

Even a movie could have several issues as noted by Puterboy for Lord of the Flies (1963), for example. LVCDC 11:17, 19 September 2013 (MDT)

Maybe we should make a redirect for "Mayday" then? Corkeyandpals 21:38, 19 September 2013 (MDT)

Why not ? But I think we really need a debate on the forum about such question : how to consider variants from countries (or times) regarding the original work ? LVCDC 02:21, 20 September 2013 (MDT)

Bug

Any info when we shall recover thumbnails? Sixcyl 14:02, 19 September 2013 (MDT)

I'm not the Administrator ! I think the first problem are the spammers. The thumbnails could be overrun by uploading pictures of the size usually display on the pages : 500 pixel wide. LVCDC 02:24, 20 September 2013 (MDT)

I know you're not admin. But the bug seems still not fixed. Have you got any info? I don't see any on the forum neither.Sixcyl 13:22, 20 September 2013 (MDT)

You're right but I think the forum is the crossroad to express our distress ! Writing this from page to page is like throwing a pebble in the sea ! I will add to the subject on the forum, the list of the movies suffering from this bug (ten by myself) without forgotten the "Frequently Seen Aircraft" page ! LVCDC 09:39, 23 September 2013 (MDT)

I know, that kind of chat should be better on the forum, But each time I post a comment on the forum, it takes "ages" for my it to be displayed on !!Sixcyl 14:29, 23 September 2013 (MDT)
