The synopsis' seem to be copyed directly from the NOVA website. This is probably not allowed as that text is not under the GFDL. Qutezuce 20:38, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Would a link to the NOVA official site within the episode list be appropriate? Catbar (Brian Rock) 02:13, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

This page should indicate which espisodes are re-edited/narrated episodes of Horizon Jooler 15:26, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
I have converted this episode list to use Template:Episode list. In the process I found and added many episodes which were missing from this list and the list on the PBS website. As a result, I decided to remove the running episode count, since there may be more missing episodes. The total episode count can be found in the code at the end of the list. I have also removed the topics column because it may be a copyright violation as almost all of the topics were taken directly from the list on the PBS website. Instead of topics, it seems more appropriate to add an original short summary. I have also moved all of the superscripted production information from the title cell into a summary cell. Finally, to further differentiate this list from the version on the PBS website, I divided this list into actual broadcast seasons rather than by year. Sarilox (talk) 23:58, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Some of the later "Secrets of Lost Empires" are labeled on the cover as "Secrets of Lost Empires II". I made the correction to the Medieval Siege episode; however, this change was reverted. Comments?Phillipbeynon (talk) 06:40, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
A new season of NOVA has premiered. It should be mentioned.

Ground Zero Supertower and Megastorm Aftermath are part of Season 41.

I am re-posting my issue here from the main Talk page:
The issue relates to the season "codes" resetting for no apparent reason and it starts between seasons 6 and 7. On March 29, 1979, the episode is coded as 0610 (i.e., s06e10 for season 6, episode 10). But for some reason the next episode -- the first one in Season 7 -- is coded as 0611 -- seemingly referring to season 6, episode 11. Where did that code sequence emerge? It disrupts the sequence for the rest of the list.
This is wrong, in my opinion. The season code should just continue the sequence for the remainder of the season. Therefore, I would like to change the numbering system used here to mirror the one at IMBD. Does that seem reasonable?
Thoughts? Eux2010
Thank you Bflaminio. That is a very helpful suggestion for me. I appreciate that and I will create a new column as you suggest. Good thinking!
Update: I can add a column heading but am unable to insert data in that column -- the formatting goes a bit crazy. Unless someone can explain what edit must be made to insert this data the only way for me to do it would be to recreate the entire table on the page. That seems too drastic for this minor change. So I shall leave this as status quo for now until I hear or learn further. I think adding an episode reference is helpful metadata but the wikipedia style html gremlins are not permitting it at this time. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eux2010 (talk • contribs) 01:26, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

While all the episodes listed on these tables are named in quotes like episode names usually are, about half the ones that have their own articles have italicized titles as if they were stand-alone films. For the multi-part episodes I guess that makes sense, but for stand-alone ones I'm not sure where the separation is supposed to be here between episode and film. --Jessietail (talk) 08:31, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Might want to consider whether NOVA Wonders is really a different TV show. The structure of the episodes is quite different. They are possibly targeted at a different audience. It has a separate website http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wonders/ where it is called a "6-part series" rather than, say, six episodes.

A question on The Teahouse concerned the January 11, 1978 episode. Why is the episode code for that episode from season 4 when it follows a season 5 episode?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:39, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
The actual Nova series producers database of episodes needs to be here as they are used as the main reference by three different major brick and mortar libraries as primary references for this series

The IMDB is so often wrong that it shouldn't be used as as a reference here in wiki. ESPECIALLY when there are source references of the quality linked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Egilman (talk • contribs) 05:22, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
