Under One Roof (2008 TV series) edit

U were a good editor to Under One Roof (2008 TV series). Pls do continue to add more info. I c the ratings dropped to 900,000 viewers, & Im not surprised. Do u have the ratings 4 the rest of the episodes? I cant believe this show was funded & greenlit in the 1st place. 70.108.128.109 (talk) 18:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello 70.108.128.109, I did happen to add the ratings for episode six. Episode seven's ratings will be added late Wednesday or early Thursday, when MyNetworkTV announces them, and when I get the information. Now, the series was green-lit because MyNetworkTV wanted to start airing scripted series. Believe it or not, Under One Roof is MyNetworkTV's third to fourth highest rated show each week, only behind Jail, Street Patrol, and one of the Movies of the Week. Under One Roof will also return for a second season next fall. Hope this helps. Happy editing! :) --Yankeesrj12 (talk) 02:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello. 1)So u like the show?
2) Its easy 2 believe the show is #3/4 bc the channel has no shows. I cant believe it has been renewed, as the reviews are horrible from critics & watchers.
3) I was wondering bc I read the CW is financial strain. I cant believe that bc CW is backed by 2 giants (CBS, WB) vs my which IMO is treated like Fox's cinderella. 2ndly bc it has shows (The Game (TV series),EHC,Reaper,Gossip, 1 tree, etc) that get great ratings. 70.108.128.109 (talk) 19:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Dadnapped edit

Try removing the unsourced date from the Dadnapped article since technically only a source is needed on the actual page. Grk1011 (talk) 22:13, 27 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

There you go. lol. Grk1011 (talk) 22:16, 27 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I find it strange that out of all the articles about these movies, they add the dates to the list and not the movie's page. I think you should request that the article is only editable for registered users since its only a list and its easily maintained. There's no need for anon users to add random movies with all of us watching it since we can add them when its time. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 02:27, 29 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

July 2008 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from The Johnsons. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Hello :) If you would actually like to have the entire article removed, have a look at Articles for deletion. Regards, De728631 (talk) 03:17, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Street Patrol edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Street Patrol, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.episodeworld.com/show/Street_Patrol/season=1/english. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

2008-09 prime time edit

Cool idea you had for the prime time edit - thanks for putting the time into it. If I may, here's another option to consider. For the sake of consistency, build the Sunday box like the others (i.e. don't separate out CW), just start at 7 instead of 8. Then put a note directly below the Sunday table indicating that standard prime time starts at 7, however the CW schedule begins at 5. Add a link to that specific table and you're all set.

It's less clutter/confusion (= a more consistent presentation), and a one-click pointer directly to CW's full schedule for those that want it. EDIT forgot to sign Yasha1969 (talk) 01:22, 9 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

So that you have it at hand, the CW link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_CW_Television_Network#Fall_2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yasha1969 (talkcontribs) 01:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Real Chance of Love edit

 

A tag has been placed on Real Chance of Love requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Uh, pardon me, Yankeesrj12, but... edit

...Geekboy6 asked you why you deleted the Upcoming shows group on the Disney Channel Original Series template. Could you answer both him and I?

Also, you should take a look at and download two images (in SVG format) of what I want the Disney Channel logo to look like in the future. What do you think? Do you think they'll accept it?

Regarding your email edit

This is to confirm that I have received your email regarding a block. Since there is no block directly against this account, it appears likely that it was caused by autoblock or an IP hardblock. Please follow the instructions below.

Clearing an autoblock

Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. Please follow these instructions:

  1. If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
    Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
    If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
  2. Try to edit the Sandbox.
  3. If you are still blocked, copy the {{unblock-auto|...}} code generated for you under the "IP blocked?" section. This is usually hidden within the "What do I do now?" section. If so, just click the "[show]" link to the right hand side to show this text.
  4. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing. Tim Song (talk) 20:38, 13 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

{{unblock|Autoblock?}}

Use {{unblock-auto}} to address autoblocks, and be sure to write down what it says when you try to edit. We don't get enough information in a standard unblock request to deal with autoblocks. —Jeremy (v^_^v Dittobori) 00:46, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

You are now a Reviewer edit

 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Area1 p1 en.gif edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Area1 p1 en.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Valu King edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Valu King, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Proposed deletion of Khloé & Lamar edit

 

The article Khloé & Lamar has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTINHERITED. Everything sourced is either a press release or TV by the Numbers

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Also:

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:02, 25 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
