IMO, adding the episode numbers provided on the discs to the "simple episode list" does not make it any less simple. It's still a "simple" list.

And that's exactly it - as you say, it's your opinion. The "no" voters obviously have a different opinion as to what constitutes "simple". As the rules give no explanation as to what a simple list is, who are we to say their opinion is any less valid than anyone elses?

but there are more of us...

The discs use the production episode numbers, the rear cover art (not the paper cover but the actual plastic case) uses the production episode numbers. No where in the packaging or disc menus are the episodes numbered 1, 2, 3, etc, etc, etc.

As I said it depends entirely what you are talking about, relative to cast and crew...yes. Relative to Overview, it depends on the individula title, for example we know that some Overviews don't exist, but in general Overview is a different dataset from the On Screen. Though i understand what you are saying and why.

Why anyone would number the episodes in the Overview differently than what they are numbered in the dividers, is beyond me.

Ithink he is suggesting that the Overview is not numbered, which many times is the way it is, and if they are not numkbered relative to the Overview then they are NOT numbered per the Rules. The dividers is a totally different issue.

Please site the rule that states that the episodes in a simple episode list do not get numbered relative to the overview . Remember, we're discussing a simple episode list for Star Trek: Voyager here where there is no episode list on the rear cover art.

The Rule says to copy the Overview EXACTLY as it appears, 8Ball. If there are no numbers then you are inventing data and violating the Rules.

The TV Rule is in addition to the general Overview Rule NOT instead of.

I don't believe he's talking about that part of the Rule.

He's talking about the part that says you can add a simple episode list.  This is in addition to the actual overview that appears on the back cover.  That's what has to be EXACT.  There is no direction about how to number the simple episode list.

I ask again, why would anyone want to number it differently than the way the episode dividers are numbered?

Why would anyone want to invent data that isn't there?

As to your question, normally this would not happen, but there have been rare instances where the numbering involved differs from that used on the Disc, that's why. For example a an Overview may be numbered 1, 2, 3 but the On screen data relative to the dividers uses Production Numbers or some other numbering scheme. It's not commonplace, but it does happen and if that's what the data is, that's what it is relative to the Online, you are of course free to do whatever you wish locally and your mileage may vary.
