If someone says that in Episode X of Show Y this happened, I can't imagine why I wouldn't believe it.
And I can imagine any number of ways by which if I *had* to I could verify such claim, including going to the production company or the Museum of Television and Radio or asking on craigslist to view such episode.

Why should I believe a scientific paper or textbook?
You don't have to believe it. If you choose not to believe the source, that's fine, but we have a policy on what sources we consider reliable. A few fans of a TV show is not on that list.
If you disagree with Wikipedia's definition of reliable, you should try and get consensus to change it. Until you do, that's the definition we go by, and by that definition, a scientific paper is reliable, a random fan of a TV show is not. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
