Vandalizing Vandalism

List of Young Sheldon episodes: Very recently, someone inserted false information, someone replaced it with different false information, etc. These were in regard to the last name of Leonard after whom Sheldon's son Leonard was named. I leave it to other to decide how to deal with that. I made the last edit as of right now, which I believe is correct. If there's an error, please fix it.

Golden Girl mistake on season 2 episode 9

Georgie said to George while outside throwing the football that Blanche dated a little person who broke up with her because she wasn't Jewish. But It was Rose (Betty White) who dated him , His name was Dr. Johnathon Newmen. (Brent Collins). 2601:547:C800:D950:E499:519F:DEF0:DF3E (talk) 01:17, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Separate pages for each season.

Since the show has six seasons and over one hundred episodes, I think its time to let each season have its own detailed page full of cast members and production information just like its predecessor; 'The Big Bang Theory'. 105.161.156.7 (talk) 06:52, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. 2600:8802:3A0B:3000:B5F7:BD8B:543F:7623 (talk) 17:16, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, most of the cast members appear in each season (except for Tam and Pastor Jeff) so I think it's fine to just merge this into the original and keep the original cast members. 2600:8802:3A0B:3000:B5F7:BD8B:543F:7623 (talk) 17:17, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Season 7 listed as final season

They haven't officially said this. Therefore this is speculation. While they haven't renewed the show, they also haven't officially cancelled it. BaggyCEO89 (talk) 12:03, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sources say otherwise, https://deadline.com/2023/11/young-sheldon-end-season-7-cbs-canceled-series-finale-date-1235612167/ Magical Golden Whip (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Connie/Meemaw and Dr. Sturgis/John character references

Before watching the show itself, I thought Connie and Meemaw were different characters. There needs to be some way to reconcile the two names as they refer to the same character and it could be confusing. 2600:8802:3A0B:3000:D101:FACC:F14C:B765 (talk) 17:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is made quite clear in the "Cast and characters" section of the main Young Sheldon article, and the context in which each name is used makes it clear to anyone who watches the show. As for someone who never watches it, why would they care? ;-) --Blurryman (talk) 19:59, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but people who visit this page (who may just want to know about the descriptions of the episodes themselves), won't nessecarily visit the main article. I think one way to clarify this is to have this article just merge into the original Young Sheldon article. Also, if someone never watches it, it is still important in the description as having Connie/Meemaw as different characters creates major discrepancies and plot holes from Wikipedia's point of view. 2600:8802:3A0B:3000:B5F7:BD8B:543F:7623 (talk) 17:16, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the episode synopses and found there were just THREE occurrences of "Meemaw", including two in episode IV/12 where it is part of the episode title and clearly refers to Connie. I have changed the other one, in III/10. Does that solve the problem? --Blurryman (talk) 21:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but there is also the requirement for the distinction between Dr. Sturgis and John (as his full name is John Sturgis). 2600:8802:3A0B:3000:B875:A7D8:A2D9:46B3 (talk) 22:50, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't seem to be a problem for anybody else, but if you think it is a problem, feel free to fix it. --Blurryman (talk) 20:56, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Season 7

@Blurryman: You quoted MOS:TVUPCOMING. TVUPCOMING states When a series is renewed for an additional season, a section is not to be added for that season until such time as an episode table can be created. This does not concern the nature or timing of its airing. It then goes on to state Years should not be added to a season section heading until an episode airs in that calendar year. Again, the inclusion of the table is not concerned by the fact whether it has broadcast yet or not, only what is included in the header. Hopefully this has helped clear the situation up for you. -- Alex_21_TALK 01:06, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to what Alex 21 said above, I also want to point that an Episode table is allow when it is reliably sourced, please see MOS:TVEPISODELIST. — YoungForever^(talk) 02:03, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It also conforms with WP:CRYSTALBALL: All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable. We are not making predictions, we are including reliably sourced information about future events. -- Alex_21_TALK 03:25, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CRYSTALBALL also states: Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place, as even otherwise-notable events can be cancelled or postponed at the last minute by a major incident. I am quite happy that the article lead contains announced information about planned scheduling of the new series, but it is quite ludicrous to have a "Series overview" stating that episodes "Originally aired", "First aired" and "Last aired" (i.e. all using the PAST tense) when the dates given are up to more than four months into the future. This is an abuse of language. Furthermore, various events can lead to TV schedules being changed, even at short notice. Why can't you just wait until the programmes are actually broadcast? --Blurryman (talk) 01:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, and the episode is reliably sourced to be taking place on February 15. We recognize dates are not definite, which is why the lead says the season is scheduled to premiere on that date, not that it will premiere then. The lead (of any article) is also expected to summarize the body of the article, not introduce/include new information - i.e. if the premiere date is included in the lead, it should be included in the body of the article. The way this article is currently set up completely conforms with the long-running standard practice of MOS:TV and WP:TV - if you disagree, or want to change the language of the templates used, I suggest you start a new discussion at those relevant talk pages, otherwise this article is in violation of no guidelines or policies. -- Alex_21_TALK 03:53, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
