Noah's Regeneration[edit]

Is it me or is there some ambiguity remaining as to whose blood it is that saves him. It could still be Adam Monroe's blood that saves HRG so should we not leave it at that? ZoneGhost (talk) 18:08, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

since the blood is not clearly labeled we shouldn't assume who's it is.harlock_jds (talk) 18:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand the confusion, we see Bob get blood from Claire pre exchange, I don't think there is reasonable evidence for it being adam's blood. Just because Adam cured Nathan with his blood doesn't mean that it's going to be his blood everytime that they use regenerative blood to heal others. I thought it was pretty well established that it was indeed claire's blood. maybe it's just me....Jjkayes (talk) 19:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a reliable source that it's Claire's blood. Josh (talk | contribs) 19:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well that ends that :D harlock_jds (talk) 01:56, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hiro/Kaito[edit]

Quite a lot of the episode is based around Hiro and his father, and yet there is no mention of them at all. TheFishMan92 (talk) 18:29, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a very short paragraph about them. I'll expand it. Josh (talk | contribs) 18:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like someone beat me to it. Josh (talk | contribs) 18:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Australia[edit]

This episode is being advertised in Australia as the season final - which it isn't, even with the writer's strike. Sould this be noted somewhere on the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.20.199 (talk) 00:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I added that a few days back, Personally i have no idea why they called that the Final with 2 unseen episodes left —comment added by Slogger9 16:25, 20 January 2008. (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slogger9 (talk • contribs)

Hiro's Religion?[edit]

What religion was involved in the funeral for Hiro's dad? I'm guessing Buddhism, but I'm not familiar with Shinto. I think it's worth mentioning on here or Hiro's article. 69.220.2.188 (talk) 22:47, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 11 August 2015[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Also a consensus to move the dab page to the base location. Jenks24 (talk) 14:18, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cautionary Tales → Cautionary Tales (Heroes) – Another one; a TV episode is not the only capital T, see Cautionary Tales (disambiguation), and if anything it's the shorter title of the Belloc book 1907 which has any claim to be absolute majority topic. Try searching "Cautionary Tales was" + Belloc in Google Books and see. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:06, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Since this is the only other article title with that name, no disambiguation is required. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 16:47, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How exactly does e.g. Cautionary Tales (album) have a title different from Cautionary Tales (Heroes)? In ictu oculi (talk) 17:08, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As far as "Cautionary Tales" goes, this is the primary topic. All other articles you refer to have either subtitles or are sections of other articles, so they do not qualify for dismabiguation for this title. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 17:23, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Look again, please look at Cautionary Tales (album) Tales with an s.

Then look at the dab page.

Then please click the Google search link. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:28, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I looked, and as I said; this is the primary topic for "Cautionary Tales", not the album. Why is Google relevant here? -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 18:43, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because Google Books indicates the classic children's book being the most common subject in books. Take for example Quentin Blake's edition of Belloc's stories just "Cautionary Tales" no "for Children", the "for Children" is often dropped, making the 1907 book the most common subject both of the full title and short title. However out of deference to WP:RECENT less encyclopedic subjects, we can let Cautionary Tales be a dab. There is no absolute majority subject, and if there was it wouldn't be the (Heroes) TV episode which like all others is referencing Belloc's title. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:50, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is about more then books. I get different result when I search for Cautionary tales. I still don't know what you mean with "majority dubject"... I suspect you mean primary topic. We usually determin the primary topic by local statistics, not Google results. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 11:01, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I'm using absolute majority not primary is because so often the guideline is misread. And if we don't use books we can't use page views because it's a circular argument. Many people have never even heard of this TV show. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:18, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. There are plenty of works called Cautionary Tales. The most famous, far more so than this episode, is Cautionary Tales for Children, usually just referred to using its first two words. And rename Cautionary Tales (disambiguation) to Cautionary Tales. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:18, 12 August 2015 (UTC)-- Necrothesp (talk) 14:18, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Necrothesp , move the disambiguation page to the base location -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:14, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also support rename Cautionary Tales (disambiguation) to Cautionary Tales per Necrothesp and 67.70.32.190 In ictu oculi (talk) 07:19, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
