"remove incorrect cats"

Hi. Listen, your edits to articles such as Twenty One (game show), Shop 'til You Drop, and To Tell the Truth are counter-productive. You are removing categories that detail the specific runs and condensing it into two years which, to people who do not know of such things, will seem very much incorrect. (Truth did not run straight from 1956-2002.)

As for the Infobox, that is different – individual runs are listed during the article. The categories that you removed delete this important information from those pages and do not recognize each individual run.

I have reverted your edits for the time being. If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Thanks. :-) Daniel Benfield (talk) 19:22, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Addendum – your edits also happened to Supermarket Sweep. Again, if you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Daniel Benfield (talk) 19:26, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

"So, just to clarify, the debut/ending cats should be for each run of a show?" Yes, since there are various runs. And yes, technically the show is debuting again; for example, the brand-new version of Let's Make a Deal – it's a premiere, and it has been off the air for enough time to be considered new.

(This also applies if the show comes back after a long stretch of repeats, such as Shop 'til You Drop {reran by PAX, now ION, from 1999-2000 before the network actually brought the show back in first-run}, unless the show normally does Summer repeats.)

A better example might be Hollywood Squares – when the Tom Bergeron version began in 1998, some viewers did not know the show even existed prior to that. This especially includes the original Peter Marshall era.

So basically, if a show comes back after a hiatus it can be considered a re-premiere. What's My Line? aired from 1950-1967, then 1968-1975. However, that is two seperate runs because A) It was on two different networks (CBS, then Syndicated) and B) One year passed between runs. Different networks get different run lengths unless the show moved from one to the other over the course of a weekend (Let's Make a Deal, the original Price is Right).

Sorry for the long-winded explanation (^_^;), but I hope you understand. If you still have questions, ask on my talk page. Daniel Benfield (talk) 19:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Alright. Thank you for the clarification. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 19:59, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

FG

do me a favor can you review the FG peer review, i want to take it to the next level to an FA. --Pedro J. ^{the rookie} 01:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Pedro. I'll take a look when I find the time! BOVINEBOY2008 :) 06:43, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

great i really need it.--Pedro J. ^{the rookie} 15:20, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Release dates.

I agree with your removal on The Hurt Locker, after reading and educating myself on what dates are most notable. (I shall keep an eye out and see that only Festival releases--if it's a premiere--and American releases are listed; and, of course, foreign countries when applicable. Is that the right guideline to follow?) I was debating keeping the UK and TIFF dates, but did so, because I was simultaneously working on (500) Days of Summer. And UK's AND Australia's are listed. And it seems to lack even more notability than THL's Toronto Fest dates. So should I remove them and merely keep the Sundance premiere and American theatrical release dates? Or should I lessen it further by removing the "wide" date, as the "limited" date was its theatrical premiere and is really the more truly essential date? Thanks in advance, fellow cinemaniac.--Cinemaniac⁸⁶_{Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire} 05:02, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! For (500) Days, I would include the Sundance date and the limited release date. The fact that the film opened wider could and should be explained in the article. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 05:21, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Welcome and excellent, I shall tackle that instantly. Three USA dates are excessive anyway. I'll factor it into the intro paragraph. Anyway, I'm glad that I can channel my film fanaticism into contributions here. Hope I can soon be one of the pinnacles of film/awards article editing around Wiki!--Cinemaniac⁸⁶_{Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire} 05:38, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

"What other uses does it have?"

• Who Framed Roger Rabbit (computer game)
• Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Nintendo Entertainment System)
• Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Game Boy)

also we should link people to Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, which they might be looking for, although that is in the lead.

Can I suggest moving Who Framed Roger Rabbit (video game) to Who Framed Roger Rabbit (disambiguation) and reinstating my edits to that page and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Thanks,

--MegaSloth (talk) 15:28, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I added a disambiguation notice for the video games. The other has a different title and is already linked. I don't think there are enough links to warrant a disambiguation page. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 15:34, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Per WP:D, "If there are three or more topics associated with the same term, then a disambiguation page should normally be created for that term". There are at least four in this case, so the page should normally exist. Also, WP:DDAB: "When a more specific title is still ambiguous, but not enough so to call for double disambiguation, it should redirect back to the main disambiguation page (or a section of it)."; that is, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (video game) should be a redirect to Who Framed Roger Rabbit (disambiguation). This is what I am trying to achieve. --MegaSloth (talk) 15:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay, go for it! BOVINEBOY2008 :) 15:44, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your patience. Cheers! --MegaSloth (talk) 16:30, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Brian's Got a Brand New Bag‎

I don't have cable or dish, so I can't confirm if the episode has aired on Adult Swim or not. Are you able to confirm or deny its airing? CTJF83 chat 17:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not able to. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 17:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, Grande13 confirmed it did not air, thanks anyway :) CTJF83 chat 18:51, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

It's OK, I tried to revert the Disney vandal too. For Open Season (film), is the cast and the characters section neccery? It looks like all plot and names (which are in the plot). Also, the species part could be OR. Snehvide og de syv dværge (talk) 17:27, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

The cast should be noted but the characters section can be done away with. Cast/character sections should be about the casting of the roles and character development and choices cast members made. See Star Trek (film) for a (pretty) good example. Of course, this is harder for animated films. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 17:30, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

OK, will note and do. This section seems unneccery here and bongs down the tone. You can help. Snehvide og de syv dværge (talk) 17:32, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

I have a question: I looked at the article The Fox and the Hound and it seems to be the primary Disney vandal target. I see Mersealt2004's version looks better, yet is not allowed. Then I found User talk:68.220.168.186. Do you think I should edit this or will it be reverted? The user in question that reverts this is a primere Disney vandal hunter I see. Snehvide og de syv dværge (talk) 17:57, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Edit which? BOVINEBOY2008 :) 18:01, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

The Fox and the Hound. The biggest Disney vandal target ever. Snehvide og de syv dværge (talk) 18:06, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
