I have gotten side-tracked with newer wacky entries and forgotten ones that need work. Ref post links here allows the other fellas to be aware and take a crack at it too. What do the rest of you think? |

I don't think vidcap citations are worth much, because they tend to wind up as busted links -- entirely too much editorial maintenance IMHO. On the other hand, I've referenced others' websites when that site noted a scene and it was my sole reason for entering it in the database, frex: David Knight's site which lists the films that appear on each anthology tape. When better information becomes available, "Bound and gagged according to David Knight's website" is replaced. I like Biff's idea about reference links, but I don't know that we need an entire page. Perhaps, we could list the various links on the Database entry page after the IMDb link. I'd suggest "The Classic TV Archive" be included |

"Perhaps, we could list the various links on the Database entry page after the IMDb link. I'd suggest "The Classic TV Archive" be included" Like that, if not too much for the already busy boy in St Louis? ;) Figure like to encourage unsure posters to put additional info in a post here, for ID'ing assistance as well. Even, I don't recognise the lady, so put "Unknown", but here were the two guest stars. etc. Assist with going through the episode guides. |
