AussieLegend has recently suffered a significant loss and is grieving. Consequently, his ability to work on Wikipedia and his time available to do so may be affected – an unplanned short wikibreak is also possible. Your patience with delays in handling Wikipedia responsibilities and in responding to talk page messages or e-mails is appreciated, as is your compassion and understanding. Thank you.

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

AAA

Hi, the article I am writing (waste management in Australia), or at least trying to, is part of an assignment. As such, I would really appreciate any help or suggestion in order to improve it as much as time allows me, and I got it due this Friday. If you would like to spend a bit more of your time for any improvement I can make, about writing style (you might have figure out already that mine is a non-native English speaking background), Wiki conventions etc., I will really appreciate that. If you prefer you can contact me on esagramma56@gmail.com , my spare email, as communication might be easier. Thanks for have read until here, hope to hear from you again 江波 ~ quellatizia (talk) 13:29, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Press Your Luck

I reverted your reversion of my edit as well as your hidden note. First, you provided NO actual citation (i.e., link) to the alleged "infobox instructions" supporting your claim. Second, even if correct, there are OTHER entries in that infobox that violate your claim; it makes ZERO SENSE to ban years ONLY on the hosts entry I edited when several other entries in the SAME infobox (directors, producers, production companies, networks, video format) have them.

The real issue here is that this infobox refers to TWO SEPARATE versions of the Press Your Luck game show in the U.S. (which you may be unaware of as an Australian) -- the "original" 1983-1986 version (actually a revamp of a previous show) on CBS hosted by Peter Tomarken, and an upcoming summer revival on the U.S. ABC network to be hosted by Elizabeth Banks. Without years, the "presented by" entry essentially reads as if Tomarken & Banks hosted BOTH versions together, which is clearly wrong; Banks was only 9 when the original version debuted, while Tomarken died in 2006. As long as BOTH versions share the same infobox, the years are REQUIRED for disambiguation unless the entry is the same for both versions. (Indeed, I will be adding years to the announcer entry as Rod Roddy died in 2003 so he can't announce the revival.) If there's any actual problem with my edit then the two versions need to be in SEPARATE infoboxes if not separate articles, which IMO is inappropriate at this time as the upcoming short-term revival isn't currently notable separately from the original. --RBBrittain (talk) 12:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, there is a classic example of your "infobox instructions" claim being disregarded if not ignored because it's blatantly inappropriate under the circumstances: The Price Is Right (U.S. game show), which uses years in its infobox to distinguish between original host Bob Barker and current host Drew Carey (in addition to the hosts of various nighttime spin-offs). --RBBrittain (talk) 13:33, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
