Featured on Martial Law

Nowhere is it mentioned in the article that "The Price Is Right" was featured in the show "Martial Law". Detective Law was waitng in line for the show when a woman fainted. He revived her by using reflexology (meassaging her feet. He was then called down to contestants' row and subseqently went on to win the showcase. He claimed to be a long time fan of "The Price Is Right"

Burton Richardson taking over as announcer in 2010?

I've heard a rumor on YouTube saying that Burton Richardson might take over the role of announcing after the show finishes with the guests announcers for the beginning of Season 39. -MegastarLV 2:06 August 13, 2010

Rumors on YouTube are not verifiable sources that such a decision has been made. Sottolacqua (talk) 18:12, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Rotating cast members

Someone's just added two of the three current guest announcers to the personnel entry in the infobox. Since the rotating models aren't listed as show personnel, I tend to think the rotating announcers shouldn't be either. And if there are quite a few guest announcers this season, and the list gets too long, it's going to clutter up the box. Your thoughts? JTRH (talk) 00:07, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Only permanent cast members should be included in the infobox. Sottolacqua (talk) 01:25, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

One Bid image

File:Onebidseason37.jpg is currently being used in the article. User Fftest22 uploaded File:899 Wins.jpg to replace it. An IP user re-added the image when it was later tagged for deletion. C'mon people! We can't upload another image when there's already one there!

There's no reason why images can't be updated or replaced. What is your rationale for keeping the original image versus the new one? Sottolacqua (talk) 03:27, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Here's an idea: Maybe if I click "Upload a new version of this file", at least that'll be an easier way of updating it.

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was not moved.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:01, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

The Price Is Right (U.S. game show) → The Price is Right (U.S. game show) — Since when does "is" get capitalized?. Per WP:LOWERCASE CTJF83 17:11, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Comment: The show title capitalizes the I in "Is." Furthemore, a retitle/move might result in confusion and needless redirects. Keep these where they are. JTRH (talk) 18:49, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Looks lowercase to me, along with "the" CTJF83 18:54, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Your reasoning doesn't make sense. Confusion? How? The capital will seamlessly redirect to the lowercase, no issues what so ever. CTJF83 18:59, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
  - The front page of the show site (priceisright.com) displays it as a capital I. This discussion has taken place before, and it was resolved in favor of a capital I. There's no reason to reopen that can of worms, or to do an unnecessary move and redirect. JTRH (talk) 19:11, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Oppose per precedent; last discussion had several policy-based reasons for "Is" being capitalized. Also, WP:LOWERCASE seems to contradict Misplaced Pages:Manual_of_Style_(capital_letters)#Composition_titles, which says that words like "is" are capitalized in titles; also, literally every title I've ever seen on this Wiki with "is" in it has had that word capitalized. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 19:18, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Will one of you point me to past discussions. CTJF83 21:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
  - Talk:The_Price_Is_Right_(U.S._game_show)/Archive_6#TPIR_or_TPiR.3F and Talk:The_Price_Is_Right_(U.S._game_show)/Archive_2#Is:_Major_word. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 15:47, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
    - Oh, I thought they were major discussions...I'll let this RM run its course. CTJF83 16:13, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
      - Comment: There's a much longer discussion that I remember in which one of the article's major contributors insisted on the capital I. He's done quite a bit of research on the show and has (or had) connections to the production staff, so I accept what he said. I don't remember how long ago it was or how to find it - it doesn't seem to be within the last 500 changes to this page, and I wouldn't have any idea which archive it might be in. But again, why make an unnecessary change if, at best, it doesn't improve the accuracy of the article? JTRH (talk) 17:13, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Weak oppose: Being as "is" is a verb, it would make sense to be capitalized like any other verb... but if there's a more compelling reason I wouldn't be surprised. 86.6.193.43 (talk) 21:32, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Two reliable sources: Bob Barker's autobiography, Priceless Memories and show staffer Stan Blits' Come On Down! both use the capital I. That's it. How do I move to close this discussion? JTRH (talk) 17:21, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Uh...you don't, you wait 7 days....so, the opening credits of the show don't mean anything to anyone? CTJF83 17:35, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Three authoritative sources (Bob Barker, the staffer who interviews potential contestants and the show's own Website) have been provided to verify that the capital I is the correct spelling. There really isn't any need for further discussion about this, and the requested move would clearly detract from the accuracy of the article(s). And if you're talking about the opening logo, a literal reading would be "the Price is Right". Are you also planning to request a move to a lower-case "t"? I'm sorry if I come across as snotty about this, but you've come across as a bit condescending in your abrupt, snarky dismissal of anything that contradicts your view of this. You lose your attitude, and I'll lose mine. JTRH (talk) 17:53, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Oppose, per manual of style. We capitalize verbs, including "is", in titles. The show's logo is not a reliable source for orthography because the cases of particular letters are assigned for graphic reasons, not lexcial ones. (If we were to copy the show's logo capitalization scheme, we'd title this article "the PRice is Right" and that's just silly.) Powers 23:23, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
