Forum:Implications of US premiere for our Torchwood Miracle Day coverage

With the annoucement that Torchwood Series 4, will air 6 days after the US, Canada and Austrilia, which leaves the question - when do we create the relevant pages and add the relevant information to existing pages? I think we should wait till after the UK airing, as its only 6 days and we can easily keep an eye on any pages be created. Also, we create Doctor Who and SJA pages after the UK airing, so we should continue to do the same. I know Doctor Who airs first in the UK, but it can be weeks or months before the US or another country gets it so the wiki should be able to wait 6 days before page creation?

 * We should create the pages 6 days before it airs for the first time, and then add the info immediately after the episode airs for the first time. That's what we've done before, and I see no reason to be hypocrites now. -- Bold  Clone  17:38, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * We absolutely shouldn't wait to create. Tardis:spoiler policy is quite clear.  We go with the country of first publication, according to the first (and totally unambiguous) paragraph  of that policy.  Personally, speaking as an American, I think it's great to finally have the advantage of this policy, and I see no reason to kowtow to British viewers.  British viewers, with all the respect in the world, can cry me a freakin' river. I didn't hear anyone bitchin' about the creation of K9 story pages prior to the British debut.


 * The real question with Miracle Day is what we're going to do about the fact that there are different US and UK cuts. Which one do we view as "correct"?  The one where Captain Jack is holding a can of Coca-Cola, or the one where you don't see the brand?  I ask, because it could well have an effect upon our "from the real world" pages.   17:50:05 Mon 27 Jun 2011


 * As a UK viewer, I find it weird that it will air in the US first, however, I will be watching online the day after it airs in the US and I'll also watch it when it airs on BBC 1. I accept that the pages will be created after it airs, now I now how you felt with the eariler series or Torchwood, Doctor Who and SJA.


 * As for the cuts, since I am planning to watch both (The US version online and the UK version on BBC 1) I may try and spot the differences. Also, once episode one airs in the UK, we can have a forum discussion and have Users raise note things they think might be different in the cuts. I.e I could say "There was an advert for a British company in place X", whereas you, Czechout could said "No there wasn't there was an American company advertised". But would this not affect all the episodes of Torchwood and Doctor Who? Or have they been the same? Mini-mitch\talk 18:02, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
