We need sources

A lot of the info in the article is unsourced and some of it is just plain OR. I am sure there are some reliable and good sources to be had out there. We cannot keep anything that is not sourced. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 05:57, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm searching for some sources, but some of this is such common knowledge amongst fans that it's hard to find it in print. And as for the continuity section, I don't know anything that I could source outside of my own comments from the official message board, and that would not be valid from an encyclopedic perspective. Too bad, because newcomers really need that information. --TOOTCB 01:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Duncan.gif

Image:Duncan.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As this image a) is a gif, b) has the wrong template (it's not a screenshot), and c) its uploader hasn't contributed for nearly two years, I feel it is ill-fated anyway, and it's better if it's removed from the article. I'll do it if nobody opposes. Rosenknospe 13:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rosenknospe is correct here. I recognize that image as a press-kit release with the tv series. I do not think it is ill-fated; it needs to be more properly licensed. I am not seeing the issue of it being a gif, though. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 15:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Current policy says that pictures should be in JGP format and only inline animations should be GIFs. It also says that the uploader is supposed to tag the picture and write the fair use rationale, but I suppose someone who knows where the image comes from can do it as well, as I doubt the uploader will turn up before the deadline. I can't do it myself, because I don't know the status of this image (if it's free or fair use or whatever). However, I can help writing it, no problem. To whoever volunteers, there is a quite useful template here. As this image appears on three pages, it will need three FURs, one for each page. Rosenknospe 13:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But, as I said, this image is a gif and shouldn't be, so maybe we should find a JPG version of it before bothering about FURs. I still think the gif should be removed. I apologize if I don't seem logical, but I'm up to my neck in real life and I'm beginning to show the strain. So, what do you think ? Rosenknospe 14:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Take a deep breath and think of a field of poppies. :)

Uploaded a new Duncan McLeod pic (a capture from H:Endgame - likely the only good thing to be culled from that execrable piece of garbage). It ihas a beeter rationale and summary and is a jpg. Check it out and see if that doesn't put your world at rest a bit. :). - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 14:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOL thanks, it made my day ;D Right, matter settled, let's move to the next ! Rosenknospe 11:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Again... OK, this one is JPG, no problem, so I don't see why we shouldn't keep it. It has the wrong template through, because it's not a screenshot either, as far as I remember. If anyone can provide the source for the picture, I can change the template and write the FURs for the three pages it appears on. Thanks Rosenknospe 11:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Rosenknospe 11:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to rename the article

Arcayne has requested on Talk:Highlander (film) if someone could change the name of the article to Highlander (franchise), and I saw the matter has been discussed above (archived item #11) and everyone agreed, so I'll do it. Please bear with the mess as this occurs. Thanks Rosenknospe 12:53, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, page renamed... *lets out breath* corrected seemingly hundreds of links pointing to the redirect... *falls over* ;D Rosenknospe 14:30, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most excellent. How does one do that anyway? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 15:54, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's all explained at WP:MERGE#Renaming_/_Moving. Checking the links is the longest bit. Rosenknospe 13:26, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Audio Dramas

They follow the TV Series continuity, and they shouldn't be labelled as seperate from that continuity. They're not stand-alone stories like The Animated Series or The Search for Vengeance. They very clearly follow upon Highlander: Endgame, which itself is a story that follows upon the TV Series and THe Raven.

I have listened to them, so I know what I'm talking about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.210.179.102 (talk) 20:46, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Needless details in sections on individual movies?

There are now articles for all the movies in the Highlander series. So why do this article's sections on the individual movies go into so much detail about plot, development, and critical reception, when all that stuff appears in each film's own article anyway? Shouldn't all that stuff be removed from this article so that editors don't have to copy-and-paste the same information into separate articles? The only info I can think of that this article should have on each individual movie is some brief notes on how it relates to the rest of the series. For everything else, why not just put it in the movie's own article?--Martin IIIa (talk) 01:23, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

continuity

The last two episodes of the Tv series opens open and highlights the idea that there are multiple universes parallel to each other.It also a good source to use for that possibility.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 05:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Discussion of Highlander: The Reckoning

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result was merge into Highlander (franchise). -- Ottawa4ever (talk) 15:22, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Im thinking maybe we need to merge this article with Highlander (franchise). The article is failing Wikipedia:Notability_(films) in that we are no where near prinicpal photography. The title is even unsourced, and so is a large amount of information contained in the article is rmours and trivial in nature. Im proposing a merge (though i think this is borderline deletion) for now Where the two pieces of information that are sourced, contained in the article can be included (as they actually already are) in the aforementioned article. Please contribute to this discussion (or improve the article). It would be ideal to find additional sources if you have any information that can stregthen it to meet notability for films but i feel right now this is not possible, Thanks. Ottawa4ever (talk) 17:41, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, though I'd like to hear from other members of the Highlander Wikiproject if they have any ideas. Hooper (talk) 20:52, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More the better i think too, Ive posted a link on the project page. Ottawa4ever (talk) 12:03, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed for merge, I stumbled across the page a few wks ago and it was rife w/ conjecture and false information. I am struggling to find any sources that show the project still in development ... and not in hell. -Sharp962 (talk) 23:04, 26 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I also concur. There's not enough info on this film floating around out there to warrant an article of it's own. So yes, this should be merged. FaithLehaneTheVampireSlayer 10:35, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

K, with no opposition brought up here ill perfrom the re-driect there isnt much to integrate into the franchise article, but whatever is referenced will be moved over. Ottawa4ever (talk) 15:13, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The Reckoning title

Where is the source for the title of the Highlander remake? The reference supplied shows no evidence of this title being used at all.Ferdinandhudson (talk) 18:23, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Divergence of Story Lines

I'm not sure why the article claims that some films contradict the TV series storyline. Whilst HL2 and HL3 were at odds with each other, I always felt that the Duncan Macleod storyline was pretty clear. The TV series started on the premise that the events of the original movie were correct, EXCEPT that there were far more immortals around and the battles in 1985 (and Connor's defeat of the Kurgan) were not as part of the Gathering which hadn't yet happened. This created a divergence in continuity, i.e. the good ol' parallel universe strategy. There were a number of other differences introduced by the series, compared to the original movie, such as immortals appearing to die from serious wounds and then reviving (in the original film we only see them hovering near death and then healing) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.137.99.94 (talk) 11:35, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
