FAR for Cheers

I have nominated Cheers for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fritzpoll (talk • contribs) 08:12, March 10, 2009

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Misplaced Pages:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Misplaced Pages talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 09:45, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

List of Desperate Housewives episodes nominated at FLRC

I have nominated List of Desperate Housewives episodes for featured list removal here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured list criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks; editors may declare to "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.

Pageview stats

After a recent request, I added WikiProject Television to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Television/Popular pages.

The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr.Z-man 01:03, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Book-class

Since several Misplaced Pages-Books are TV-related, could this project adopt the book-class? This would really help WikiProject Misplaced Pages-Books, as the WP TV people can oversee books like Seasons of 30 Rock much better than we could as far as merging, deletion, content, and such are concerned. Eventually there probably will be a "Books for discussion" process, so that would be incorporated in the Article Alerts. I'm placing this here rather than on the template page since several taskforces would be concerned.

There's an article in this week Signpost if you aren't familiar with Misplaced Pages-Books and classes in general. Thanks. Headbomb {_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 21:13, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Family Guy

can someone review Misplaced Pages:Peer review/Family Guy/archive5 and Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/Family Guy (season 5)/archive2--Pedro J. 20:20, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

List of House episodes

Just wanted to drop a note that the List of House episodes articles, and the individual season articles, need some attention.
— V = I * R (talk to Ω) 17:56, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

What about ti need attention everything on the page is to what was faile don feature list staus last time nitehr nor anyoen else has bothered to take it back to feature lsit review--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 18:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

The big thing is the inappropriate transclusions being used to transclude not just the episode tables, but whole content from the season pages. That needs fixing so that only the episode lists are transcluded in the main list, using the proper template and parameters. So really its more the season pages that need fixed so that the main one is correct. It will never pass featured list status in its current form, in part because of that. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

If oyu read the feature lsit reviews they said to include a summary of each season and that was decided in the tal page a logn time ago i only translcuded the data--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 19:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

If people want to insist on a season summary, that's fine, however it should not be done through transclusion. Its a very lazy way of doing it. The content should be written for that list. However, most featured episode lists that are divided do NOT have those summaries nor are they appropriate in such a list, IMHO. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:53, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

that i agree with but i am only transcluding what was discussed and the same sumamry fo rth seaosn is used for the seaosn article so bit daft replicating, it the same with teh final diagnostic coloum its not required you can put it in the summary but there alot of peopel refusing to have it removed--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 20:34, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

That also needs to be dealt with. The "diagnosis" is an in-universe thing that has no place in the table like that, only in the summary. It doesn't need special attention, nor to be its own column. If the fans on the talk page are refusing to remove it, I'd look at opening the discussion up to a wider audience, first starting with project members, then an RfC is not enough project members response. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:49, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Unident

Unfortnally that something i dnt have time to do anymore due to work and child commitments but RfC require other memebr consent doesnt it? as i didi propuse this a logn time ago and it was jsut said there a conesus so need for it. if soeone else wants to take this up and follwo it through be my guest i wont complain and will support it :) for now until a new conesus can be mae i think it best ot leave it the way it is hopefully this can be resolve soon :)--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 22:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Since it per guidelines i am removing the content the fans are wanting to be kept so the final diagnosis coloum is getting put intot the summary and the season summaries are not being transcluded now :) i will point fans who revert ot here--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 13:09, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Navigation boxes

Soap opera

In {{infobox television}}, there is a field for both format and genre. Does format include reality television or would that go in genre? Also, would you classify My Antonio as a soap opera, reality television show, or is docu-soap a better description. Should the genre soap opera be reserved for scripted fiction? Or does it include reality television shows, which are usually partially scripted? Any input and all input at Talk:My Antonio is appreciated. After that we can discuss what colour to paint the bikeshed. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 00:19, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm starting to wonder if format should be removed all together. If you check the infobox talk page archives, it was discussed awhile ago and no one seemed to be able to remember what it was supposed to be for and the docs have no guidance. For the series, what do third-party sources call it? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 13:59, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Saturday Night Live WikiProject

Hi everyone. While Saturday Night Live is under the domain of WikiProject Television and Comedy, after spending the last few months working on it, I'm seeing more and more just how mammoth a task it is. There are literally dozens of articles dedicated to it, and most need A LOT of work. Because of this, I've proposed the WikiProject Saturday Night Live. Please leave comments, and consider joining as a potential project member. Mainly.generic (talk) 04:32, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I really don't see why it needs a separate project. A taskforce at best should be more than sufficient. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 07:17, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Nielsen ratings?

Where are the Nielsen ratings for TV shows located? An IP keeps adding them to the Law & Order: SVU Season 11 page. I have asked for a source from this person, but have received no response—not a peep. Are these numbers valid and verifiable? Thanks. --Mike Allen 05:49, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Unless they have a source for them, I'd consider them invalid and unverifiable and remove as unsourced. There is no central source for the ratings that I am aware of. Can check Google News or the like, to see its been published somewhere. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 04:18, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Is tvbythenumbers.com a reliable source? --Mike Allen 04:41, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm inclined to say yes as I found several instances of it being quoted by quite a few other reliable sources at Google News. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 04:50, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

from my experiance of it, it is realible it pass from the fact it only a one or two editors who post and they take there ratings from neilson but isnc eoyu have ot pay neilson they post them for free, abc use to do it but stop in 2007 i suspect due to costs--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 18:14, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Wait. What? --Mike Allen 05:48, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

TV by the Numbers is reliable. –thedemonhog talk • edits 06:08, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Major merge effort needed for Characters of Oz

There needs to be a major effort to merge in the myriad of character articles about characters in Oz into Characters of Oz - I poked around and saw many character articles. They don't seem to have any "creation and conception" or "reception" sourced content, and they seem to be all plot summary. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:57, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Sapphire & Steel

Any fans of this series out there? After mentioning this a year ago on the talk page, I noticed that the List of Sapphire & Steel television stories gives story titles when they never actually had any. I've come back to this now after viewing the currently released DVD which mentions both in its sleeve notes and on the bonus documentary that the stories never had titles. I believe the story name section should be changed, as it seems the titles given (although it does state they weren't official) will give the casual reader false information. Anybody agree or care?--Tuzapicabit (talk) 18:35, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

The entire list should really be done away with. Its wrongly titled (normally would be List of Sapphire & Steel episodes), but with only six episodes it is completely unnecessary. Particularly as they have no titles anyway, the plot can easily be covered in the main article (and seems to already be so). I've redirected it to the main article, which is need of a major clean up and overhaul. And yes, the titles were inappropriate as they are made up fan titles. Fansites are not reliable sources. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:53, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your agreement and your action sort of solves it, albeit a little drastically! Perhaps however the episode table could be reinstated to the main article (airdates and so on would be needed from it), sans fake titles. I'll do it but I'll wait to see if there's further comment first.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 09:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

For a series this short, I think a good option would be to have the plot section have the summary, then just note the airdates in the prose. If it aired weekly or on some other schedule, just note start and end dates and the cycle. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 17:46, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Masters of the Universe mass merger

These characters need to merged I wish to hear opinions if anyone disagrees.

Ninjor (Masters of the Universe),Icer and Scare Glow need to be merged to List of Masters of the Universe characters

Blade (Masters of the Universe) and Gwildor need to be merged Masters of the Universe (film)

Snake Face needs to be merged to Snake Men (Masters of the Universe)

Heroes

Clamp Champ need to be merged to List of Masters of the Universe characters

Zoar (He-Man) to Sorceress of Castle Grayskull

List of She-Ra: Princess of Power characters needs reorganising

Dwanyewest (talk) 02:43, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, once you tell us what "I wish to here opinions" means?--Tuzapicabit (talk) 02:58, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Support all, and more. Those articles are all in horrible shape and almost all of the individual character articles are for unnotable characters that do not meet guidelines and should not have individual articles. I'd suggest really that only He-Man and She-Ra themselves, and maybe Skeletor, might be notable enough for having standalone articles while most of the side characters and side kicks, and location articles, should be merged to the appropriate lists and articles. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 03:00, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

This also I feel needs deletion List of Masters of the Universe vehicles This article fails on multiple levels there is no third person information, it lacks notability and is really just trivia it needs deletion see the criteria. WP:TOYS Dwanyewest (talk) 12:41, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Tend to agree...why not send it to WP:AFD? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 17:35, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

If it is agreed how do these articles get merged I dunno how to do it? Dwanyewest (talk) 17:05, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Primeval

Primeval could use some editor love. Never saw the series myself, so not totally vested in trying to improve it beyond some semi-quick, rough clean up. Trying first to deal with the insane number of side articles made for this short 23 episode series. Check out Template:Primeval for the list of most of them. So far, I've:

• tagged the main article, List of Primeval episodes, and List of Primeval characters] for issues
• boldy redirected the individual creature and universe articles to the main article (Primeverse, Anomalies, Rex, Future Predator, Mer
• Sent List of creatures in Primeval to AfD as well as List of Primeval locations (AfD)
• Prodded Through the Anomaly (documentary) and the various novelization articles: Shadow of the Jaguar, The Lost Island, Extinction Event, Fire and Water (Primeval), A Rip in Time], Dangerous Dimension, The Lost Predator, Fight for Survival
• Tagged List of Primeval books and novelisations to merge back to the main (in cleaned up format)

The main article really needs some good clean up, as does the episode list. I've done some of the work on the episode list already, cleaning up the lead a bit and expanding it some, and tweaking the layout. The ratings need to be moved up to their ep tables though. The character list formatting needs fixed, its lead expanded, non-free image culling, plot trimming, and sourcing. The rest, I'm inclined to say need the actions I've done (of course), but other eyes and views on how to clean this one up would be great. Even better would be someone interested in adopting this series to get its articles into shape and clean up behind the self-proclaimed "cult" fans who have gone crazy with it. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 17:52, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
