Network television schedules

The first "NBC Week" was in 1965, not in 1964, and My Favorite Martian premiered in 1963. I know you mean well, but that doesn't mean you can destroy the feeling of these schedules for the rest of us, especially when you ignore what the newspaper microfilms have to say, or disregard the ratings as listed by classictvhits.com.

Therefore, I am going to have to revert the schedules to what they were before; if you have a problem with that, please take your wrath out in the sandbox.149.175.37.202 (talk) 22:50, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

All reverted back to your (Firsfron's) version as pure edit-warring vandalism. Anon user should be blocked. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 23:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem :) Let me know if I can be of assistance in your updating of the pages. Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • 01:28, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Listen, wise guy:

I've had too much with your acceptance of the book "Watching TV" as gospel truth. You must refer to newspaper microfilms. They'll show you that there was no "NBC Week" in September 1964.97.120.137.22 (talk) 00:30, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

About those television schedules

Firs-

I realize now that you're too crazy about color coding the schedules, so I'm taking your suggestion and will show each of the top 30 programs of each season with its respective (rank/rating), as determined by Nielsen Media Research. I intend to use the ratings charts at classictvhits.com as my primary source.

In addition, if I find anything in your commentary to these schedules that I feel doesn't ring true, I'll let you know as reasonably as possible so you can dip into the appropriate further research.97.120.137.22 (talk) 05:30, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I discovered in the Brooks/Marsh book that Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts and You Bet Your Life were actually tied for 3rd in 1953-54, so I added bronze to the latter; I hope you don't mind. By the way, I'm using a capital "T" in the rankings to indicate a tie.97.120.137.22 (talk) 19:15, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I had to include Rawhide in the 1958-59 schedule because it finished in the top 30. Please try to understand.97.120.137.22 (talk) 13:54, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

In 1963-64 The Fight of the Week wasn't new; it was just on a new night. It had been running on Saturdays under that title since 1960. IYMK. these were the shows that "the new ABC" listed as new in fall 1963:

• The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters
• Arrest and Trial
• 100 Grand
• The Outer Limits
• Breaking Point
• The Greatest Show on Earth
• The Fugitive
• The Patty Duke Show
• Channing
• The Jimmy Dean Show
• Sid Caesar alternating with Edie Adams
• Burke's Law
• The Farmer's Daughter
• The Jerry Lewis Show

I also suggest that you look further into Castleman/Podriazik's TV Schedule Book which does include mid-season schedules.97.120.137.22 (talk) 06:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Independence, Iowa

First off, let me state that this was an error on my part: I seem to have looked at the article about Independence, Kansas, as "governmentally independent" is a Kansas term that really does apply to the Kansas city, and I have a vague memory of thinking that this was a Kansas township.

Secondly — this Census Bureau map says the same thing as the map you provided. If you open this file and look at cities that really are separate from their township, such as Waterloo, you'll see a slightly more solid city border and a little º next to the city name, but neither is present in this map's version of Independence.

Between what I've said in the first and the second paragraphs, I've realised my error and reverted to what you wrote. Thanks for pointing out the error! Nyttend (talk) 00:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

'peton

Have I stirred up some kind of controversy with C/Galverpeton? I'm grateful you stopped by, but I'm wondering why this incident is getting so much attention. :P Abyssal (talk) 02:32, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Constant vandalism and disruption

I don't understand why you admins turn blind to Tajik (talk · contribs) when he goes around use sockpuppets in your faces and vandalize pages after pages. Is Wikipedia some type of gang related website? User:Tajik is removing sourced material from articles, this is vandalism and you admins allow it. He uses the excuse "falsification and POVs" but it's really him doing those if you concentrate on his edits. These are only few examples: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] He and Inuit18 (talk · contribs) (sockpuppet of Anoshirawan) pops up as a tag-team and usually at the same time, I believe that account is shared by him and someone in USA who's English is not so great. It's so strange that he comes everyday but only edit very little, so it's very likely that he's using sockpuppets to evade his 1 RR restriction. Tajik pretends that he is against POVs but it's he that is a POV pusher."The author - in this case al-Biruni - is referring to the Suleiman Mountains. In that case, it is highly probable that he was referring to Pashtuns, because he had described them as a "Hindu people" before.... Tajik (talk) 01:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)". It's very clear for readers here that Tajik hates Pashtuns with great passion so he wants to give them a new history which would make them being Hindus when all the scholars, history books, encyclopedias, and the Pashtuns themselves, disagree. There is "zero traces" of any Hindu culture among the Pashtuns. Anyway, Tajik was blocked 17 times and banned for a whole year but he doesn't seem to care about any of that, he just wants to remove things from articles that he doesn't agree with or doesn't like. This is a serious problem and you guys should put an end to it. I also believe Muxlim (talk · contribs) is him.

Mapusaurus

"Teleocrater"

Hi, Firs;

My regular library only got Annales de Paleontologie through 1996, and it doesn't look like they've signed up for online access. That said, I've been surprised before. I will probably be doing a library run next Friday and I'll be sure to check it out. J. Spencer (talk) 23:47, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

RE: Fourth television network

Hey Firs!! Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner - work really got nuts on me the past month. I found several newspaper articles that may be of interest to you, which I copied. Although they should be public domain, I got them from the archive site I'm subscribed to, so I don't want to post them here. If you're comfortable doing so, send me an e-mail and I'll respond with the articles attached. My wikipedia handle at q.com serves as my e-mail address. Otherwise, we can figure something else out. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:06, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

How odd! I never received your e-mail. Let me try one more time, just in case I misled you: dhett at q dot com. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

HA!! Got it this time! That address looks familiar - I probably should have scoured my archive and could have sent you the articles last week. Oh well, they're on their way. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:52, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

"Name"?

I know the scientific name should type in Name. But i see lots of scientific name in wikipedia were type in "Name". Why?

Is that official rules that Nomen nudum, Nomen oblitum, Nomen dubium should type in "Name"? or it is just a wikipedia rules? 01:43, 26 Nov. 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Devilfish1962 (talk • contribs)

Astrodon

i read WP:STUB. i'm still not sure why this article wouldn't be under the purview of sauropodomorph-stubs. what am i not getting? Μετανοιδ (talk, email)

i don't see why a stub tag shouldn't be added to an entry that is clearly rated as "stub-class". please explain. Μετανοιδ Μετανοιδ (talk, email) 17:36, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

96.239.237.62

Hi, Firs;

I noticed you reverted 96.239.237.62 (talk · contribs) on "Bayosaurus". Having fixed a string of their edits this morning, I am 99% certain that this is the latest version of an editor who was recently blocked at 96.242.198.33 (talk · contribs) for inserting false dates, locations, and other information to paleo articles, and false episodes and voice actors to television shows. Something to keep an eye on, I suppose. J. Spencer (talk) 16:21, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up on that! J. Spencer (talk) 19:55, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Your indefinite semi-protection of some chemical elements

Hello,

Following a recent specific case at Vanadium, I have reviewed the semi-protection status of all chemical element articles, and found that many of them were either not warranted or have excessive protection lengths.

Keeping in mind that it was concluded that Vanadium's protection length of 6 months was too long given the circumstances, and that it has been shortened to 24 hours, I invite you to reconsider the indefinite semi-protection you granted to Iron, Calcium and Beryllium.

Please bear in mind Wikipedia's semi-protection policy, specifically its suggestion that indefinite protections should be considered only as a last resort after other measures have failed.

You may also want to review other indefinite protections that you have granted in the past. Thank you. 124.87.98.194 (talk) 04:42, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
