Card Sharks broadcast history

You recently added the names of other game shows hosted by Card Sharks hosts. This practice has been discouraged in the past, because it leads to information being repeated in multiple articles. The information is also not directly relevant to this article. In general, the expectation has been that is one wishes to learn about other shows featuring a host, the user will go to the article for that host. -- Seitz 22:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are adding far too much trivia on show pages that has nothing to do with the show at hand. I know you love showing off your game show knowledge, but cluttering wikipedia is not the place for it. Perhaps you should make your own website? Lambertman 16:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I have deleted all the needless info about the show's buzzers and graphics and the hosts and names of all the shows involved with the scheduling moves. This information is completely unneccessary. Do not attempt to add it back without making an attempt to talk to your fellow editors. other editors like you who have refused to communicate have found themselves indefinitely banned for editing Wikipedia.

Michele Lee article

I have deleted a lot of extraneous material out of the Michele Lee article. We don't need to know that her father gave her birthday parties. That is unimportant. We don't need to know that Joan Van Ark supported her during the time of her divorce. Of course her friends supported her, but that does not need to be included in an encyclopedia article. We don't need to know that she was devastated at Bill Bixby's death. Of course she was sad to lose a friend, but again that does not need to be included in an encyclopedia article. These things are fairly inconsequential in relating the life and career of Michele Lee as an actress.Dbart

Bill Bixby article

The paragraph that you added back to the Bill Bixby article about his friendship with his young costar Brandon Cruz is VERY badly written. If you insist on having this information in the article, then you must clean the paragraph up and make it readable. Otherwise, it will more than likely be deleted again.Dbart 14:39, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have revised the paragraph in question so that it is more readable.Dbart 15:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

link to British

Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom or Great Britain by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]].

The Price Is Right

I'm curious -- what evidence do you have of the dates you've provided for the debuts of the Double Showcase rule and the bonus spin? They make sense, but I've seen nothing that sets them in stone. -TPIRFanSteve 01:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign your posts with ~~~~

I have noticed you commonly don't enter an edit summary as you didn't when you edited Perry Mason (see this edit). This causes me problems. When I patrol for vandalism, I use the summary to make a preliminary decision on whether or not the post is a vandal edit or not. If the summary is present (or at least a section header, the part inside the /* */), I commonly decide the edit is legit and move on.

However, if no edit summary is available, I typically resort to loading the diff for the edit. This takes time. For that reason, if your edits are all valid, I ask that you provide edit summaries. For more on how to enter an edit summary, please read Help:Edit summary.

Incidentally, it is not just me that appreciate having edit summaries. When you omit your summary, you may be telling various bots that you are vandalizing pages. For this reason, please consider providing that summary. It is very important. You can enter that summary via the edit summary box on edit pages (as shown below).

The edit summary appears in black italics in the following places:

Page history - list of changes to the page you edited
User contributions - list of all your edits
Watchlist* - list of recent changes to watched pages (logged-in users only)
diff page - shows the difference between two edits
Recent changes - list of all recent edits
Wikipedia IRC channels - real time list of all edits
Related changes - list of recent changes to pages linked to the page you edited
List of new pages: shows the edit summary of the creation.

* Use the enhanced watchlist to see all recent changes in the watched pages, not just the last change in each page.

Stop with the trivial edits

I am getting tired of seeing your insignificant trivia edits on every single game show page. If I catch you doing it again, I will report you as a vandal. --ChrisP2K5 04:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
