Hello. My name is Scott Stone. I created my username as my actual name in order for you to be assured that I am myself. The changes I made to the Paradise Run wiki page were made because the facts on the page are simply wrong. The facts that I added, or changed, are a matter of public record, not things that could be in any way construed as promoting any company over another. On the contrary, the fact that wiki associated the show with Stone Stanley Entertainment (also a company I owned until it was dissolved in 2008) is not even as Stone Stanley no longer exists and was out of business long before Paradise Run was created. If there is a better way to achieve the edits, please inform me and and I will be happy to do so. I am not asking for anything beyond adhering to actual factual information. As far as sources are concerned, all of this information can be confirmed by Nickelodeon, the network which airs and owns the program. Thank you. Scott A.

Hint: Next time, try signing with actual tildes rather than the Unicode characters you used (copy this – but not the nowiki tags: ~~~~). nyuszika7h (talk) 11:32, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hi, Scott. Wikipedia is a confusing place if you haven't been editing for a while. Basically, one of the mottos of Wikipedia is "Verifiability, not truth". What this means is that it is most important that facts be verified by sourcing to a reliable secondary reference. So, what we need is this – we need a secondary source (something like Variety or The Hollywood Reporter or something like that) which lists the correct production companies that produce Paradise Run. (A so-called "primary source", i.e. from your production company, isn't quite as good, but it might work in this case...) If you can find even a URL like that, then one of us can add it to the Paradise Run article, and correct the information. --IJBall (contribstalk) 13:19, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
