Frequently asked questions

Q: Why are the names of the episodes different to what I have seen aired?

A: For a show like Mayday almost every broadcaster has changed the ordering of the episodes and even changed the name of the episodes and series, but this article is on the series as it was produced and first aired in Canada.

Q: Why are sources are required for the air dates?

A: The original air date is when the episode first aired in Canada, not the United States, UK or Australia. As such to prove the air date is the air date for Canada not anywhere else a reliable source is required.

Q: Why can't I add new episodes?

A: If the episode hasn't aired yet, then a reliable source is required. This is the same for any other TV show on Wikipedia.

Episode Numbering and Order

Someone rewrote the Season 20 episode numbers and ordering according to the IMDB which uses production date. But this is never how this page ordered them. It should be by air date and how every TV database other than IMDB numbers them. I'm going to revert these changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.244.29.151 (talk) 20:55, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

...And somebody locked out the page. What dufuses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.244.29.151 (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The correct episode numbering for Season 20 can be found here: https://thetvdb.com/series/mayday/seasons/official/20

Could someone please fix it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.244.29.151 (talk) 23:27, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Accident Files Season 4

Adding episodes before airing discussion. Present your arguments here and back them up.

I guess we'll have this discussion again because of an outdated conservative approach of holding off before putting them up after the first episode shows up. I have not seen any list of show episodes page that has done this. I guess we'll have this discussion again...

I think they should go up before they air (essentially right now). National Geographic is a major network that runs ads for the show. A recent ad [1] in the UK showed Lion Air Flight 610 and Execuflight Flight 1526. The counterargument to this was an Air New Zealand Flight 901 listing despite that it never appeared on National Geographic. Instead, the episode was replaced with Itavia Flight 870. That was an isolated case because National Geographic was not used to cite the existence of the episodes. It was merely a pamphlet of the entire shows run as Season 13 was initially indented to be the final episode of the whole show. So, that argument does not add up. The initial compromise was the strange 7 day gap between the 16th and 17th seasons that was part of their unusual airing schedule at the time. That era has long passed.

1) National Geographic is a reliable source and it is a major network that, you know, airs the episodes on their network.

2) It has a 100% success rate on the episodes

3) Advertisements on the same network provide clips from the episodes themselves, because that's what an advertisement of a show does.

I don't see any reason to continue with this nonsensical approach of holding back. Thanks. Tntad (talk) 23:16, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: Update on my post above. Here's the link to the story of Qantas 32 being the original final episode of the entire show [2]. It was written by the Captain Richard de Crespigny, the captain of Qantas Flight 32. Tntad (talk) 23:24, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bullshit to #2. An episode on Air NZ Flight 901 was announced and never made. It was never made. You even say it above. So saying NatGeo has a 100% success rate does not compute. Overall there has been too much bs on this page. Read this[3]....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:26, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The "It" refers to the website, National Geographic. Could you point to me where National Geographic, not Cineflix, National Geographic, announced Air New Zealand Flight 901 for the 13th season of the show? That "mythical episodes" post also does not reference National Geographic as a source. Plus that post is obviously not reliable since there are no citations. That post is completely irrelevant to the whole matter on a citation perspective. Tntad (talk) 23:29, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Update: The Air New Zealand case was also never listed on the National Geographic websites under Season 13 at any point, even using the Wayback Machine too. Regardless of where it was announced initially, it never made it to the final listings page. Also, claiming "everything is bs" does not help your case. Tntad (talk) 23:33, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
