Strike It Rich

Desperately needs some help. I, seriously, never saw the show, so I can't do anything with it. Can you help out, or do you know someone who can? --Amnewsboy 22:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's an improvement, but I think we might need a third set of eyes there. Know of anybody who knows this show better than us? --Amnewsboy 01:10, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pay_Less_Food_Markets

Sorry. Tag is misleading, I ran past quickly while checking randompages. The source that's there is fine, but another source independent of Kroger/Pay Less really need needs to be there if at all possible. I sincerely apologize for not being clear. I'm removing the tag as it doesn't say exactly what it needs to say. - Stephanie Daugherty (Triona) - Talk - Comment - 03:10, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: NBC chimes & Nostradamus: Ahem . . .

See the updated copy, and visit Talk: NBC chimes. It's easy to misread the meaning of "handwritten note on a memo", I'll admit!

(just discovered how to do this)

Thanks on User:Mason34

Thanks for the reverts and the vandalism warning on Mason34's talk page. I was working my way through his "contributions" and reverting, and had just made the connection to Boyertown kid as well, but my wireless connection was responding too slowly... :-) -- Pawl 02:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WRTV callsign meaning source

This happened to be the source containing WRTV's callsign -- a more clearer weblink: http://smecc.org/call_sign_letter__meaning.htm. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.162.174.135 (talk) 172.162.174.135 01:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)00:59, 14 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Hong Kong Phooey? (Somewhat a hero)

OK, I have never heard of him, until July 2006, I know that he is a Chinese character, or else that is his "secret identity", but while I know nothing about "kung fu" - But would it be fine to air the cartoon on WRTV Channel 6, (Indianapolis) perhaps canceling the half-hour newscast at 5 P.M. or 5:30 P.M or else broadcasting it on the weekends. - I cannot find the show on any of those stations.

that site

I passed this on to an admin for further review... I agree with your comments about it. (You ever seen "Indiana 9", BTW?) Amnewsboy 08:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agh, don't send her after me! :) And no, I haven't... Lambertman 12:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wheel of Fortune (1975 US game show)

What did you find "crufty and incomplete" about the list of introductions? JTRH 22:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you quote the opening from 1975? Lambertman 22:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You mean "Just look at this studio, filled with glamorous merchandise," etc.? I didn't go all the way back to '75 because the intent of that particular section was to illustrate the differences between the daytime and nighttime versions while they were both on the air. JTRH 23:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which is more than a little obsessive, and doesn't really fit in an article intended to be about the daytime version. I'm not going to claim I don't notice this stuff as well, but it's info that's better suited for a fansite than an encyclopedia. Lambertman 20:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Point taken about suitability for a fansite rather than here. JTRH 20:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your last edits are quite sensible, as is your reasoning for them, though I did re-insert one sentence. I think you've managed to convey the same information I did without a lot of my extraneous detail. JTRH 15:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I appreciate that. I was that uber-obsessive fan not too long ago myself :) Lambertman 15:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I get for watching 1991 daytime and nighttime versions back-to-back and then thinking every single detail was relevant to a wikipedia article. I'm actually more of an uber-obsessive Wheel fan now that I've been on the show. :) JTRH 18:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One Tiny Question

Whatever happened to your "List of programs broadcast by PBS" article? Wikiman232 06:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops never mind! Wikiman232 06:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replied

I've replied to your query about the Countdown article at my talk page, just a heads up. Goodnightmush 03:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kline

You're joking on Kline actually hosting the TTTT '90 pilot, correct? Granted, I've only seen some poor condition screenshots, but if it's him then MAN he didn't age well...FamicomJL 03:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The screencaps DO suck, but yeah, it's Larry Dallas. Lambertman 03:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch, he hasn't aged well at all then. My apologies, looked like a totally different person...how was he as host, anyway? FamicomJL 03:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Considering he'd never emceed before, he was actually very good. Better than Robin Ward, and much better than Lynn Swann. Lambertman 03:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But really, ANYONE was better than Swann on that show, why he was chosen over...hell, anyone, is beyond me. Ward was okay but he just seemed too rude to me. Moore is the best in my opinion, followed by Garagiola, then Eliott. FamicomJL 03:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Illinois' Instant Riches / Second Opinion

This article was in horrible shape before I tried to overhaul it; you mind giving it a onceover to make sure I hit everything and got it right? Amnewsboy 10:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wheel of Fortune (1975 US game show)

Hi. Somebody (who had never contributed to the page before) unilaterally renamed the WoF 1975 page "Wheel of Fortune (daytime game show)," notwithstanding that there was a great deal of discussion a few months ago before it was renamed from "daytime" to "1975," and it was decided that the "1975" title was more consistent with WP standards and more easily distinguished that version from both the current US show and the international versions. I'm not an experienced enough Wikipedian to remember how to revert a page title -- I tried the normal edit/rv process and it didn't seem to work. Sorry to take up your personal discussion page space with this, but since you've contributed to the page, I'd like your advice as to (a) whether I should care about the title change and (b) how to fix it if that's the right thing to do. Thanks. JTRH 11:59, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologize, that's what Talkspace is for. You are right; I've gone ahead and done another move to put it back where it was, and left a hopefully not-too-snarky explanation (I think I know the guy who did it). 1975 just makes sense; in reality, the daytime show page is nothing more than a subpage to the nighttime version, and given the interests of Joe Wikipedian, that's the way it should remain.

Cedar Point

I have some other (pun not intended) slides of Cedar Point. I can let you know when I scan them. TheSquirrel 01:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Losing Horns

While I appreciate your reverting the page (honestly, I do - this is meant informatively, not chastisingly), you technically should not revert an edit to delete a deleteprod template. The deleteprod template is for (hopefully) undisputed deletes. If there is any dispute (however lame), such as someone deleting the template, the policy is to go through wp:AFD procedure instead, allowing a discussion page to be setup and whatnot. If it gets reverted again, the AFD procedure is what ought to be implimented, as described on the page I linked to. That said, the poorly written Family Guy mention, if reverted, is quite deletable.

Replaceable fair use Image:Janice_pennington.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Janice_pennington.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ^(talk) 20:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Janice_pennington.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Janice_pennington.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 06:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
