I've been seeing a lot of nitpicks on TV series where the submitter didn't identify a particular episode but instead submitted it as "General for Series". "General for Series" is for nitpicks that happen either in every episode or repeatedly throughout the series. If the nitpick happens in just one or two episodes, submit it under that episode or those episodes.
For example:
itle : Comic books
Series : M*A*S*H
Episode : General for Series
Detail :
In one episode(I forget which one) Radar is reading an issue of Marvel Comics' The Avengers. The Avengers weren't created until 1963.
This is incorrectly submitted under "General for Series". A correct vote, if someone submits something for one particular episode using the designation "General for series" even though it didn't happen generally in the series, is "Didn't happen in the show." No one should cast a positive vote for a nitpick like this, whether or not the particular episode has been added yet or not. Plus, why would you vote for something like this? If the nitpicker can't even remember enough about the episode's plot to look it up on tvtome.com or Wikipedia, why would anyone believe she/he got this detail right?
At the moment, the TV episodes are kind of a mess. But submitting everything under "General for Series" just makes a bigger mess. We can't go through all the nitpicks later and move them to the right episodes, even if the nitpicker has correctly identified the right episode (which, as you see from the example I posted, they don't always). Identifying the episode is the nitpicker's job. Also, anyone else can submit the very same nitpick on the right TV episode (and in many cases has already done that) and then we have duplicate nitpicks, one on the right episode and one in "General for Series".
