treat fictional topics in an "in the moment" manner. We write about them in a sort of permanent present tense, given that viewers could be experiencing any particular part of the story at a given time. This is also in line with our goal to produce an encyclopedic, "out-of-universe" treatment of the work, rather than a more fan-oriented "in-universe" presentation. That is why we do not rewrite first-season events into the past tense when the second season begins, and why we list

wondering how it was put into the article. Despite all of this, there is no way she would have mentioned the the BP oil "disaster" as that happend well after her decision to leave the show. So unless her character was also clairvoyent, she couldn't have known about something that HAD NOT YET HAPPENED. Sorry but Stella's character says nothing of the sort - last season nor in this season's premier, as I just now finished watching it.

According to whom? Melina Kanakaredes didn't know she wouldn't be renewing her contract at the end of the second season, which is why she wasn't written out of the show in the season finale. Since this is the case, it's impossible for her character to have given ANY reason why she was leaving, so I'm

I have undone an edit by an unregistered user that stated that it was unknown whether CBS would renew CSI: NY for season 8, due to "decreased viewership on Friday nights". This information was unsoucred/unreferenced, and after searching for several days, I found nothing to this effect on ANY sites,

I have requested direction as to where to find the information on not removing former characters, as I cannot locate it in the Television Project sections.

Yet another issue arises when editors list cast members as "main" cast based on personal feelings about their importance, or on perceived screen time, rather than based on the official status as

Hello... FYI, this is in respect to the constant move by newer editors (especially IPs) to remove certain characters rom the "main character" list. Apologies for not posting this sooner, as it has been particularly problematic on this page. What we need to remember is that Knowledge (XXG) does not

I would like to propose a major cleanup of this page as it is beginning to get cluttered and messy. The first thing I want to do is condense the cast list. What the article for the original CSI has done, and quite successfully, is to only list on the main page those characters who have appeared in

Instead of changing it to Messer everywhere as has been done since before Lindsay & Danny were even married - can we wait and see if she is really going to use it? So far, all I have seen is her answering the phone when she KNEW it was Danny and calling herself Lindsay Messer. Nobody else has

After a related character discussion, I added some sourcing to the introduction and filming (also added episode specific re: Chicago). These weren't any substantial changes. I'm working on an overhaul of the character information and attempting to source it, which I will continue to work on and

899:

Also, something I thought of. Wouldn't infobox cast lists become very unwieldy in cases such as the Law and Order series (orig. & SVU) with the number of cast members that have been on these series? That is another reason why I want to know the official rules on this. Trista

For ease of reading, the Main Characters section should be moved around so that the name of the character is first. As it stands, it's not as easy as it could be to look up a certain person as you've got to read different lengths across each line to find the person's name.

Concerning the pictures, the first two show Hawkes with a badge, but we already know he has one. The third picture shows a real NYC CSI badge with "Detective" on it, but we already know that real NYC CSIs are detectives. The question is whether Hawkes in fictional

I've began some major cleanup to this article, added new production sections, and am cleaning up the character sections. As a general rule, only those who are/have been listed in the opening credits should be listed on the main page. Others should be listed on

Well, the gun Hawkes had near the end of "Snow Day" he took from a terrorist in the morgue, so that doesn't count. I can't remember if he carries one normally. He might. And I don't know if carrying the gun makes him a

I'm an old man and really not interested in learning to edit wikipedia, but will forward occasional verifiable errors and omissions I find. E.g., Dick Enberg had a minor spot as himself on S2E19 "Super Men". See

In the 'Main Characters' section relating to Stella Bonasera, the reason she went to New Orleans is because "it's the city of Katrina, the city of BP oil, the city where people are looking for a helping hand."

We call CSI: NY the only 'indirect spin off' of the original series. What do we mean by the expression 'indirect spin-off' in this context and how is it different from 'direct spin-off'? Just a query.

besides Knowledge (XXG) itself. We are only 5 episodes into season 7 as of this writing, and though viewership has dropped, it is still a respectable 9.946 on the Nielsen ratings.

I checked my DVD of "The Party's Over". Lindsay did say that Hawkes isn't sworn NYPD. But the writers are very inconsistent in their story details. This is just another example.

I googled it and found more sites that have reported on it. I can't be certain wether it is actually true or not, but if it is, it would make for a good bit of trivia.

Has Mac Taylor not always been Lieutenant in the NYPD. Noticed on main page that he is Detective for series 1-5 and Sgt. for 6? This has only recently been changed.

There is no confirmation or valid citation for Sela Ward's character other than blog pages. Which is why it keeps getting removed. Trista (cannot log in at work)

I thought I should let you all know that I reverted the title picture to see the title of CSI:NY since the one before has it words blocked by the glare.
