Yay, new blood! Thanks for joining in :-) Good work on that episode page. I keep meaning to go back through old episodes of Star Wars and Empire, but I'm currently concentrating on the weekend edition. Maybe I'll find some Empire episodes to do next! Spookypeanut (talk) 03:23, 11 July 2016 (PDT)

Hi. Sorry for not responding sooner. No worries and thanks for your hard work as well; the site is looking great. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll just keep grinding away on the episodes in order. There's no rush - we'll get there. Also, let me know if you have any feedback or if I'm doing anything wrong - all comments will be greatly appreciated. Dl1846 06:44, 18 July 2016 (PDT)

No problem 🙂 Your pages look fab, you're being much more thorough than i ever am! There's no rush, except that p&a are constantly doing more episodes faster than we can get them on the wiki! But I've realised recently that I must learn to care less about that: much better to enjoy the podcast! Spookypeanut (talk) 12:18, 18 July 2016 (PDT)

Things to do:

• Restart and clean-up Star Wars articles (eg standardise the format, date, quote counts etc).
• Hyperlinks (I keep forgetting these - eg Treadwell).
• Find out the first time Alex apologised to Pete for mentioning the prequels. Highlight this in the relevant article and 'running jokes'.

I like the idea of better standardizing formats, especially for quotes - we can't seem to nail it down. We've got the templates on the Etiquette and Protocol page, but they don't yet say how to format the quotes. I like the way that you've been doing it (bolding the names and putting them ahead of the quote), although I'm daunted by the prospect of hunting down the timestamps for the each of the existing quotes. The good news is that there are still only a few of us working on this thing, so we should be able to come to an agreement between us. I'm glad you're thinking about hyperlinks (I like to make this thing as internally connected as possible, better's the chance that readers will discover a page they didn't know they wanted)--Kabutton (talk) 09:53, 19 August 2016 (PDT)

I've updated the pages I've worked on to get back to the templates (I got away from them by accident). I've removed the timestamps from the quotes as I totally agree with your point. Going forward, I'll check any format changes / ideas with you before making them (sorry about that!). I'll also factor hyperlinks in going forward - I keep overlooking them and completely agree with making this thing internally connected. Thanks for the ongoing guidance.

Pop culture references

Here's my thought process when it comes to Pop culture referenced on the show: my goal is to include (and elaborate on) references that are not fully explained, or are not super well known so that people listening to the show can use the corresponding wiki article as a companion instead of having to stop and hunt down the reference themselves. I sometimes feel like the hosts and guests speak only in references, and it can be difficult to try and document them all, so I've been focusing on writing up the ones that either I did not immediately get, and/or those I think many others might not get.
Alternatively, if you want to remember which episode it was that they dropped a specific reference, you should be able to locate the episode in the archive by searching for that reference.
I'm interested to hear your thoughts on all that. --Kabutton (talk) 11:51, 22 August 2016 (PDT)
