Anne Holton

Thank you for catching my error in the Anne Holton article. I had just noticed my error and was going back to fix it when you did. --TommyBoy (talk) 14:44, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

P.O.V.

Thank you for your work on this page. You flagged the history section because you couldn't find any verification for it. I'm the creator of the series and the history that was posted there was completely incorrect, so I tried to delete it. However, it reverted to the original page. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Marcnweiss (talk) 21:22, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

List of Wide Angle episodes

Hi there. I thought I'd move this page into the larger Wide Angle (TV series) page, so all the information is in one place. Thanks for updating the episodes! Seelbach (talk) 22:20, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

• Please don't combine the episode list article with the main article for Wide Angle. The convention here at Wikipedia is to give lengthy episode lists their own "List of..." article. To combine them would create a main article that is too large and cumbersome for users not seeking specific episode information. Sarilox (talk) 22:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Gotcha, thanks. I'll just update the info on the "List of..." page. One other thing I'm curious about - right now there's some description and a review of the first episode of the series. We have tons of reviews and descriptions for all of our shows, but it seems like adding all of that would be very cumbersome. If we can't do that for all or many shows, should we have that section at all? Does the "List of" page suffice for episode info? Thanks. Seelbach (talk) 15:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
    • Ideally, the "Reception" section should contain reviews that address the series as a whole since that is what the article is about. If you can provide reviews from major publications please do so, but be sure to cite your sources. Otherwise, another editor will probably delete it for not being verifiable. Go ahead and add descriptions to the episodes as well, but they should be original summaries and not someone elses copyrighted content. Unless an episode has its own article there is really nowhere to put more detailed infomation like episode reviews or a thorough plot description. Also, you should read the television style guidelines which will help you with the editing of any television related article. Sarilox (talk) 23:46, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry mate. You are correct, I did not read closely enough. Thanks for reverting. Cheers. L0b0t (talk) 22:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Tv Infoboxes

I have to admit, I'm not going for 100% perfection when adding these infoboxes simply because there are so many of them. I've got the list down from 2,500 to less then 800 now and it would take me (by myself) years to thoroughly investigate all of these shows. What I'm trying to do is get the infoboxes up there and provide a reasonable level of accuracy which can be bettered by someone else. It might take me 20 minutes to put an infobox up but it'll take whoever is correcting one erroneous fact on an infobox a couple of seconds. That way, everything gets an infobox and the work to improve the article gets infinitely easier for everyone involved.

With regards to the number of shows a series has had I go by how many have been broadcast, rather than how many have been created, there doesn't seem to be a guideline on what to do with this and I'm trying to be consistent. However, if there is a guideline I'd love to see it!

However, the errors you pointed out are a bit too numerous to ignore. I am definitely using imdb.com and tv.com as sources as they allow me to get the information I need for the infobox quickly. As there are some obvious problems with these do you have any alternative suggestions?

Thanks for pointing this out to me. If you find anything else please let me know! Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 16:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

No one expects perfection. There will always be spelling errors, markup problems, wrong wikilinks, non-compliance to the MoS, etc. However, knowingly adding new information of which you have no idea of its validity is completely different, and detrimental to the integrity of Wikipedia. If you don't want to do the research, then perhaps you could fill out the infobox with what's already in the article, and leave the rest for another editor.

According to the documentation for the Template:Infobox Television the number of episodes produced is what should go in the infobox.

As far as sources go, WikiProject Television has recently started compiling a list of reliable sources, but it's nowhere near a useful stage yet. In the mean time, searching Google news and Google books is fairly easy, and even though you are usually limited in how much of the article you can read, sometimes that's all you need. You could also do a site search. That's what I did in my example for you with History vs. Hollywood. The article said it aired in the U.S. so I searched a couple major U.S. publications. My Google site search of Variety magazine looked like this:

site:variety.com "History vs. Hollywood"

And then I did another site search of the Los Angeles Times which looked like this:

site:latimes.com "History vs. Hollywood"

Both sites have been useful in the past so I search them with many of the U.S. TV articles I edit. They dont always pay off, but sometimes they do. Hope that helps. Sarilox (talk) 21:50, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your help with this! I really appreciate it. I will proceed with due caution. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 17:53, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Lockup

Hi there. I was wondering why you removed this:

• Lockup, a marketing/branding term implying the final version of a company's logo

It's a term I recently encountered in a graphic design context, which I considered somewhat obscure, but its inclusion on Wikipedia confirmed to me that it's valid. FrancoisJordaan (talk) 13:29, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I removed it from the Lock up disambiguation page because there was no article about it, nor did any of the articles linked in the description use the term. A disambiguation page is not a list of dictionary definitions. Disambiguation pages are for linking to articles that share a particular title, or for linking to articles that use that term in a meaningful way. The use of the term lockup as you've demonstrated above does not appear to be used on Wikipedia, and therefore does not belong on a disambiguation page. This is in keeping with the manual of style for disambiguation pages. If you can find a reliable source that defines this term in this way, then perhaps you could add it to the logo article or whatever article seems most appropriate. Then you could link to that article from the disambiguation page. Sarilox (talk) 23:45, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Once a Ranger

The fact that the book was published before the episode aired should not mean anything. The Japanese publishers for similar television programs publish content that does not appear in the television shows until weeks later. Also, the significance of the episode is stated within the article (being celebratory of the 15th anniversary of the franchise). I'm not sure where to find the reception/ratings for this particular episode.

And other than the reception and significance, what is wrong about having plot summary in an article about TV episodes?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:01, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

I have replied at the AfD where this discussion belongs. Sarilox (talk) 00:23, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
