Q1: Why is Sara Gilbert, who portrayed Leslie Winkle, still listed in a starring role, even though she left the series in season 3?
A1:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television#Cast and characters information states, "The cast should be organized according to the series original broadcast credits, with new cast members being added to the end of the list. Please keep in mind that "main" cast status is determined by the series producers, not by popularity or screen time. Furthermore, articles should reflect the entire history of a series, and as such actors remain on the list even after their departure from the series."
Since Sara Gilbert was a main cast member at one time she remains listed as a main cast member even though she is not in that role any more. This is necessary to ensure that the article reflects the entire history of the series. This has been discussed at length. Previous discussions may be found at:
A2: There have been several lengthy page move discussions with none reaching a consensus that this is not the primary topic. For more information, please see the discussions listed below:
Please consider these discussions before suggesting another move. Note that the cosmological model is simply called Big Bang and the name does not include "The" or "Theory", and redirects have been setup to take this, including capitalisation, into account. A list of redirects is shown below:

The Big Bang Theory is a sitcom/TV show. The story begins when two roommates, Leonard Hofstadter(an experimental physicist at cal tech) and Sheldon Lee Cooper(a theoretical physicist at cal tech) meet their new neighbor who just moved in across the hall. Her name is Penny. Penny is later introduced to Sheldon and Leonard's friends, Howard Wolowits(an engineer at cal tech) and Rajesh Ramayan Koothrappali(an astrophysicist at cal tech). From this beginning, the story of their lives continues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.205.249.128 (talk) 11:18, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have a question for discussion. Is it possible that the "series logo used for print" can be used as the main image of The Big Bang Theory Wikipedia page? I believe there is no real need to use the title card as the main image, and the series official logo would be define the main image of this Wikipedia page. Clearly, I want to get some insight in this topic to see if I can move forward with making this change or not. If you approve of this change, may I ask how I can make the logo a little smaller for the main image? BradfordNewton (talk) 04:16, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see nothing wrong using an official title card. Per MOS:TVIMAGE, For a main article, use an intertitle shot of the show (i.e., a screenshot capture of the show's title) or a promotional poster used to represent the show itself. Alternatively, use a home media cover. If a show has multiple intertitles throughout its run, the most representative one should be used; the intertitle does not need to be updated each time a new version is used. — YoungForever(talk)15:35, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The list of cast and characters has Leslie Winkle before Bernadette, Amy and Stuart.
the former is only an occasional characters whereas Amy and Bernadette become starring characters in later series. 146.199.238.88 (talk) 06:39, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
