[edit] Homicide
What about making a link with the Show Homicide, since both shows are quite based on the same line and have been widely compared? --Lvr 11:24, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Too little information...
I don't think this says much about the show other than it was profane and contained nudity. I personally never really got into the show and would like to know more about it. Can anyone help us out here? 69.17.59.230 01:49, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] City of New York
Why is there a city of New York box at the bottom of the article? This is about the fictional series, not the real New York City Policd Department. Captain Jackson 20:09, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- This doesn't make any sense to me, either. I shall remove it. Equalpants 03:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unsourced statement
"The show's "bad language" and partial nudity garnered more public controversy than its tacit approval of police brutality." Where did this come from? --rogerd 17:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, doesn't seem very NPOV. Will let others have their say before removal though. Seaphoto 22:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's accurate, but it's the type of thing that would be hard to cite support for unless someone else made the same observation. Maybe just citing to sources regarding the nudity and profanity, as contrasted with a lack of comment on the other issue. Though I think it would be better to describe it as the show's "portrayal of police brutality" rather than its "tacit approval." How does a show express "approval"? Postdlf 03:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gordon Clapp
It is suggested at the seminal NYPD Blue site,that, as Clapp appeared in episode 3 he should be considered to be a main cast member from season one. (Pally01 22:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC))
[edit] "Four phases"?
These new edits by User:Vsmakrock seem highly POV to me, overly long, and filled with interpretation. I have never heard the show being discussed as having "four phases" and no citation is provided for the phrase. The whole thing is just a mess. Any thoughts? ---Charles 05:01, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- You may as well call it the four partners. It is POV and needs some major rewriting. The genius period of Caruso. What's that all about? (Quentin X 07:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC))
- "Genius" indeed... ---Charles 18:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to do some major reworking of this article and make it sound less like a POV review and more in line with other articles on TV programmes. If you come across it while it is in a working stage, please don't fiddle with it until I'm done. Thanks (Quentin X 10:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Petition for DVD Release
Hello, is it possible to add this link http://www.petitiononline.com/nypdblue/ to the NYPD Blue article? The petition is to collect signatures to get Fox to release the next four seasons (5, 6, 7 and 8). This isn't meant to be an ad but every fan should put his / her signature into the list. Knalla 16:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- I am afraid that would violate wikipedia policy on external links. Also when you add a new topic in a talk page, please add it to the end of the page. Thanks. --rogerd 17:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Could you be more specific which policy exactly is violated? Maybe then there could be a paragraph about the petition, e.g. NYPD Blue fans try to release the next DVD seasons? Thanks for your help. Knalla 12:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Here are a couple of things from wikipedia policy on external links:
- Such pages could contain further research that is accurate and on-topic - this link provides no information about the topic
- No page should be linked from a Wikipedia article unless its inclusion is justified.
- ...there is a great temptation to use Wikipedia to advertise or promote links. This includes both commercial and non-commercial sites.
- Avoid undue weight on particular points of view
- Also, looking at WP:SPAM:
- Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam.
- --rogerd 16:22, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks to take the effort to clarify this for me. I don't like spam, too. Knalla 17:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
