Hey guys.

Every once in a while (probably at least once a week), I'll go exploring the Lost Media Wiki and wonder what you all determine is "partially found" and "partially lost". I say this because there are times when I think something that's listed as "partially found" should be listed as "partially lost" and vice versa; and times when one can't possibly know whether it is partially found/lost. So what is the standard you use to determine between the two?

Thanks.

Here is my take on this:

Partially Lost is when most of the episodes are available to watch. Most are "found"
Partially Found is when few (the minority) of the episodes are available to watch. Most are "lost"

I could be wrong, but this is how I see the difference. This was a very good question.

I think partially found is when less than half of the episodes are found and partially lost when over half of the episodes are found

This is how I’ve always interpreted it too, I feel like these are basically the widely-accepted definitions of the two terms.

Thinking back to this question, I can see why it would be confusing to some people.

Maybe the terms should be changed to "Mostly Found" and "Mostly Lost" instead?

I think they should be too. I always get mixed up on it.

That's how I viewed those terms
