Citation needed for "based on magazine" assertion[edit]

As the content of the series differs so much from the magazine (which is a genre fan magazine focusing on actress profiles), I think a citation is probably in order for the statement that the TV series is based on the magazine. I looked for one myself but unfortunately could only find blogs and other websites that aren't allowed by Wikipedia as reliable sources. I'm not disputing the accuracy of the statement - I happen to know it's correct - but it should be sourced; maybe there's a reference in Variety or some place like that? Same goes for the reference in the magazine article. 70.72.223.215 (talk) 12:52, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rfc about the word “naked” in the “Bad Science” episode of Femme Fatales[edit]

In the episode “Bad Science”, Matilda West materializes naked; Should the word “naked” be used here? Some editors put it there and another keeps removing it without discussing it. After watching this part of the episode she definetly materializes naked. 80.187.100.232 (talk) 12:43, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that Matilda West materializing in a bikini wouldn’t make any sense, so I decided to rephrase the entire episode summary without using the word “naked” because I thought that word would be very offensive. The only time we are naked is when we are either taking a bath or taking a shower. AdamDeanHall (talk) 14:45, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We are naked when we are in the shower, or if a field doesn't transport our clothes.

Why would the word “naked” be offensive? As that's what happens in the episode. One should discuss it first before removing other's edits. In any case it describes what happens in the episode so I don't see an issue with it. We are also talking about a series "intercut with softcore pornographic scenes". 2A02:908:182:AF40:481B:4E0F:1E1:22D0 (talk) 15:48, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To quote the character Kyle Reese from the 1984 sci-fi film The Terminator: “You go naked. Something about the field generated by a living organism; nothing dead will go.” Sound familiar to you? What do you really think? AdamDeanHall (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's not at all related to what happens in this TV series or episodes. The fact is that she materializes naked, so I don't see an issue with someone writing that she does. 2A02:908:182:AF40:481B:4E0F:1E1:22D0 (talk) 16:09, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The word “naked” is not offensive, but even if it was, that would be irrelevant since Wikipedia is not censored and all of Wikipedia is covered by our content disclaimer. As no policy-based arguments have been put forth on why describing the character as appearing naked have been put forth, I support keeping the wording that includes the word “naked”.

Comment (Summoned by bot) – I'm new to this, and need some help from regulars: I'm trying to figure out what actually happened in the episode. When I do this neutral search not geared to either outcome, there are almost equal numbers of the results (4-6) with the expression naked and vulnerable as in a bikini and vulnerable, so what am I missing here—did she materialize twice? Were there multiple dimensions where she materialized differently each time? Note also that the wording is so close in all of these results, that we may have to discard some of them when trying to decide this Rfc question; WP:Verifiability requires WP:INDEPENDENT sources, and websites that copy wording from each other are not independent and so can only be counted once. If possible, we should try to find the sites which independently watched and summarized the episode without regard to what other ones said, although that may be difficult to determine; completely unique and different wording and subtopics mentioned in the review might be a clue.

No Opinion until I can read at least one reliable source that refers to the scene in question. (Summoned by bot) Robert McClenon (talk) 04:49, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
