Adding Quesada's storyboards

Marvel and/or Quesada himself released a good number of the storyboards he created for the episode direct. They can be viewed here in the slideshow by clicking the image in the article. I think one would definitely be great to add in the article, as it would satisfy the WP:NFC policy as serving as additional visual commentary to Quesada's quote/info in the filming section about this. What do others think about this (mainly making sure my thoughts on NFC usage are correct) and which one would you want to use? I think either the one labeled "2-24" through "2-26" with close ups on Coulson, Yo-Yo and Yo-Yo reaching for her phone as it is a nice "clean" one, or the one labeled "3-1B" through "3-1D" as that gives a good look at Quesada's idea for character and camera movements. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:07, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think using one would be good, and those would both be fine. Perhaps the latter to illustrate the movements? - adamstom97 (talk) 05:12, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was leaning a bit towards the second too from a commentary standpoint, despite liking the first a bit more. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:35, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Created by" is a writing credit, not used for this series.

In this case, the executive producer being listed as such by an editor on this article is not a writer. The Twitter link does not work and even if it did that cannot be used for making up credits that don't exist. "Created by" is a writing credit given by the WGA to the writer of the pilot of a series, but here it's based on and is a continuation of a pre-existing series. That's why there is no creator credit. - Gothicfilm (talk) 20:32, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think much of that is true. "Created by" has nothing to do with writing credit from the WGA, nor is is based on who writes the pilot. Both can be independent of the other. And as I stated, "Created by" or "Developed by" are generally a series EPs (who subsequently can be the series' writers). That is true in this case. Yes Slingshot is based upon the existing main series, but Colo was the one who conceived this series (ie the "creator"), so placing him in the field is correct. Additionally, the Twitter link does not work is false, as both are still active, and we get the info from the embedded Tweet from Mark Kolpack who says "[Colo] is the mastermind behind this." - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:47, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Twitter link didn't show me that. But even if it did, what you are doing here goes against WP:OR because a Tweet that someone is a "mastermind" is not a credit. There is no doubt "Created by" and "Developed by" are writing credits under WGA jurisdiction. The EPs you've seen with the credit in other shows were obviously writers with approved credits. This is an encyclopedia. We do not make up credits that don't exist. - Gothicfilm (talk) 23:12, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In all my years working on here, I've never once heard or seen that "Created by" credit is in relation to the WGA. Please provide me with information to back that up, because I don't believe those have any relation for TV series as I've stated. Regardless, I can rework the info to remove Colo as it is not an "official" credit. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:48, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
