[edit] Wild at Heart

Should I start moving Wild at Heart (UK) back to Wild at Heart? —Naddy 11:18, 17 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Eureka Season Two

Hi, You are not naming the source of your episode titles. VisitEureka.net go through great lengths to get ahold of those titles, so we'd really appreciate a little link back... We don't mind ya using them, as long as you give us credit which you are currently not doing which is a breach of copyright.

Cheers, VisitEureka

My friend, it's called common courtesy. Are you making the effort to get these titles? No - you're logging onto someone else's site and taking information that they've worked hard to get. Remove the reference once Sci Fi announces them officially by all means, but until they do so referencing your source would be a decent thing to do. How would you like to see something you've worked hard to get just taken from you without even saying its from you? Common courtesy is all... NBC U never announced that information, VisitEureka.net did... Not saying you're a bad guy... but how would you like it if our positions were reversed in this matter?
'Preciate the external links link. It's something - but it still doesn't show that you're getting the info from me.

[edit] The 4400/Audrey Parker's Come and Gone

I changed back the credit for Conchita Campbell to credit only because I'm pretty sure that she only appeared in the "previously on". I was going to rewatch the episode when I got home, but my TiVo has already deleted it. If you think she was in the episode then I have no problem with it being changed back.

I guess I missed where Diana looked in on her. DCEdwards1966 | Talk 21:16, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Anchorwoman

I guess it could go either way, but I see Anchorwoman as a late summer show instead of an early fall show. What would you think about moving it from the Fall 2007 grid to the Summer 2007 grid? DCEdwards1966 | Talk 22:07, 15 August 2007 (EDT)


[edit] Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

On the Main Page the text is

'It premieres Sunday January 13th at 8PM (or after the NFL playoff game) on FOX. The premiere episode will be two hours long and then the following night, January 15th, it premieres in its regular timeslot of Mondays at 9PM. Eight episodes plus the two hour pilot were finished before the writers strike shut down production so the series will air straight through to a two hour finale on March 3rd (excepting a one-week break for the State of the Union Address).'

the premiere episode was 1 hour long, January the 15th was a Tuesday, the second episode was on Monday the 14th of January, 'Eight episodes plus the two hour pilot should read' Eight episodes plus the one hour pilot.

thanks for writing a new featured article, pushing daisies was starting to push the daisies.

thanks, nicely done —Neil

[edit] IVy Awards

First of all, thanks a lot for all the work you did on them. I didn't realize how little there was left for me to do until last week, when I opened all the files you'd created and realized just what a huge chunk you did.

Just out of curiosity, why didn't you just go ahead and put them up last summer? I'm not complaining or chiding you at all, mind you. Just wondering if you thought something else needed to be done, when in fact, very little did. You'd done the overwhelming majority of the grunt work already. Or maybe you were waiting to see if I could come back and administrate them, in which case I completely understand.

In any event, I had a little computer problem last night which caused there to be a delay in putting up the other half of the categories. I'm back on it now. However, I changed your signatures to "the-jam," so you might want to go back and see if you agree with yourself six months ago and change the tags to your namestamp where appropriate.

Thanks a ton again. -- JCaesartalk 19:20, 16 January 2008 (EST)

Fair enough. Like I said, I was asking out of curiosity's sake, not as a rebuke. Regardless, you did really great work, and I can't thank you enough. -- JCaesartalk 22:02, 16 January 2008 (EST)

How'd you do that neat little trick of putting a blog post at the top as a site announce? Can you please walk me through it so I can do the same for the IVy Awards? Thanks. -- JCaesartalk 19:12, 17 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Blocking Users

Hey, just to give you a heads-up, there's a template we put on people's User pages when we block them. It's "banned|reason=[whatever the reason]" inside the double template brackets. Not that big a deal, and it's not likely to be terribly necessary for vandals and spammers, but it just helps us keep track of things should questions ever arise. Thanks. -- JCaesartalk 01:40, 29 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Guest Stars

The ABC press release for Confirmed Dead lists Leung, Davies, Mader and Fahey as guest stars. Later press releases further that trend, so I'm not sure about removing them from the guest star section of the articles or not. --Cheshire Cat 11:05, 8 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Lost Cast

Hi, sorry for my mistake in editing the Lost cast table. To be honest, the inclusion of the character aliases just plain irritates me, since I know who the characters are, but I understand if you feel some people still refer to Tom as "Zeke", to use a simple example.

About Dominic Monaghan: I am aware that he was credited with the main cast in episode 401, but the same was done with Malcolm David Kelley for all his performances in season 2 (in the opening credits for episode 201, 206, 222 & 223, Malcolm is listed with the main cast), yet you have him as recurring for season 2 on the table, that's the only reason I thought Dominic Monaghan should be recurring for season 4. So please tell me then why Malcolm is recurring for season 2 but Dominic isn't for season 4? I'm not trying to be difficult, I honestly just want to know what the difference is...

[edit] SpamBlacklist

When cleaning up a spam attack, the first thing you should do is put some of the linked sites on the SpamBlacklist. Typically there are only a limited number of target sites and they are used again and again in each accident. Once you put them on the blacklist, the attack stops right there. You can then leisurely clean up the damage. Simply blocking the throwaway users is not effective at keeping the spammers from coming back and vandalizing more pages. The blacklist is. —Naddy 13:08, 25 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Lost characters

Thanx for the update, I understand what you mean about some characters not being important enough to go on the main page's table. I did add Alan Dale since I have a feeling he will become a much more prominent character, especially since he is appearing in next week's episode - which is Juliet-centric. Anyway, I guess we could leave him off the table and see what direction his character takes in the future.

One more thing - Bea's full name was revealed in two of the mobisodes when Lost refered to her as Beatrice. Neil sa 07:25, 1 March 2008 (EST)

[edit] Default Sort Tags

To be honest, I only removed the default sort tags because it looked to me like you were removing them from all-caps shows, or maybe I was getting confused with shows where punctuation or whatever was throwing them off. Personally, I don't care, and if I removed them in cases where I shouldn't have, I'm really sorry. Personally, I don't care if they're only used on shows with preceding articles or not. I won't remove any more in the future. -- JCaesartalk 04:29, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Hell's Kitchen Fifth season

I just saw you updated Hell's Kitchen to say a fifth season will air in Summer 2008. The fourth season, which starts on April 1, will be running through the summer. So, I'm not sure what you meant. Has it gotten renewed for a fifth season, and you perhaps meant Summer 2009? -Joltman 12:10, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Battlestar Galactica - Razor

I see you changed Razor to one episode instead of two with the reason of 'by site conventions razor was one episode'. I'm not sure what you mean by that, I've seen other shows where an episode originally aired as one but was listed as two, such as The Office (USA)/Fun Run. Additionally, The Futon Critic lists it as two episodes. -Joltman 14:52, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] 90210

The statement that 90210 is a remake of Beverly Hills, 90210 is as far as I know merely speculation. If there is some source for this, please add it to the article, otherwise it can't be regarded anything more than rumors. Pierre 13:12, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

So - what the official sources say is that it is a spinoff, nothing more. Anything else - such as similarities between the two series - is personal interpretation, without any factualm, official basis. right? Pierre 13:42, 5 June 2008 (EDT)
So basically - what tviv.org calls a series is based upon individual opinions, rather than established facts?? There goes much of my confidence in the site :/ Pierre 14:21, 5 June 2008 (EDT)
If there is no valid sources calling it a remake, to say anything more than that it has been called or considered a remake is personal opinions. I wont be pushing this though; just lament that the site isn't as careful regarding its articles as I had thought and hoped. Thanks for taking your time, though. :) Pierre 14:56, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Jennifer Garner

Thanks for removing the section of the article on Jennifer Garner which claimed that Garner had had her ears "pierced" on two different occasions. The editor who put that there also tried the same thing on the original Wikipedia article several times in the past, but it had to be removed more than once because it did not meet any of Wikipedia's criteria.

The same editor also used that Wikipedia account specifically to place her claim, which is entirely unsourced and was fabricated solely for the purpose of trolling. She has repeatedly denied being the author of the articles she linked in an attempt to fool other readers of the article, but her history at Wikipedia, and now here, says otherwise...so thanks again for preserving the article's integrity.

[edit] Blocking users

I was going to block someone that spammed, but I wanted to check on how you do it. When you block, there are three checkboxes, do you leave them all checked? And you set the expiry for infinite, right? -Joltman 08:06, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Law & Order: Criminal Intent

You marked Alicia Witt's character as returning for season eight. I don't know if you watch the show, but she was only on the first part of season seven. Did you see somewhere that she was coming back? -Joltman 12:18, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Network logos

Nice job on the network logos. It really makes the Main Page look great.--CygnusTMtalk 08:42, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

[edit] TWIZ Tv.com

Thanks for the info, have submitted request for reciprocal links to them now, unless given this kind of information, it is hard for people to know what is acceptable and what is not. Perhaps in the near future, could there be a page of guidelines added, so that people have some idea of the kind of additions to make or not make, rather than receiving a response which often appears to be an abrasive scolding. Other than that, have no problem with your tips given, cheers... --Alcatel 02:17, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
