License tagging for Image:DIALogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DIALogo.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 22:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --Crossmr 21:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NUMB3RS

Hello. Thanks for adding the U.S. Television Ratings section to the NUMB3RS article. Would you be able to provide references for the facts in that section, please? If you want information about how to provide references, please see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Thanks. Mike Peel 16:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the references. Much appreciated. Mike Peel 17:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of most-watched television episodes

Hey Dechnique23,

Did you intend to revert my formatting changes to List of most-watched television episodes? Your summary indicates a relatively minor addition. What happened? — EncMstr 00:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a communication failure somewhere. My original message was responding to this change you made which basically reverted the significant changes I had just made. Perhaps you edited text offline and placed that into the edit box? Or maybe you missed an editing conflict notification? — EncMstr 01:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Top programs of 2001-2002

I've pulled these from the individual network articles; that year is not any more or less notable than any other year. As such, there is no reason that that season's programming should go in the article. --Mhking 00:21, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't so much that I was only going to post 2001-2002. I was in the process of including all the seasons starting from 2001-2002. Would you mind if I continue that process? --Dechnique23 00:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say that putting each year since that point would be too much with those articles; they are already very top-heavy to begin with. At most, I'd suggest last season's information only -- and that's if even that much. --Mhking 00:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But if I have all the information of top shows since 2001-2002, why shouldn't I put it online? This is supposed to be an informational web site. And why be a stickler for eliminating this particular information? Do you suggest any other page for this content? Just wondering --Dechnique23 00:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia policy explicitly states that it is not a mere repository for indiscriminate information (WP:NOT); i.e., just because it is out there doesn't mean that it should be on Wikipedia. Just because you have it, or access to it, doesn't necessarily mean it belongs here. I'd suggest mentioning it on the talk pages to the individual articles and getting input from other posters; my personal feeling is that most folks would suggest that it is too much, but I could be wrong. --Mhking 00:35, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps tviv.com ? Lambertman 00:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion but users would have to register with that site too. I'm just wondering what the whole bug-a-boo is with posting that info here on each network's Wiki page? --Dechnique23 00:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

About the Color indicators for highest rated network TV shows.

I see you have added the color indicators for the top-rated programs starting with the 1980-81 television season and going further in time to the current primetime season. I, on the other hand, have started doing the same thing to the 1979-80 one and going back, ending with 1964-65. I skipped the top-rated midseason replacements and miniseries. (For example, I coloured only 15 shows on the 1975-76 United States network television schedule) I followed the color scheme for the top-rated programs:

1 program is in lime
2-10 programs are in yellow
11-20 programs are in cyan

I recently put this color scheme on the 1963-64 season, but most programs were in black-and-white during that period and I shouldn't put the lime-yellow-cyan scheme on a primarily B&W TV show schedule. Can you get me a primarily gray color scheme for top-rated TV shows during the black-and-white TV seasons? Jim856796 22:11, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So you want to emulate the period of B&W TV by providing colors in grayscale? But for the purposes of these pages, you could probably keep the same color scheme because the table is already in a gray color Dechnique23 18:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The envelope site on Nielsen ratings gets dumped

I noticed that theenvelope.latimes.com site got changed and I couldn't find the section on Nielsen Ratings. I was supposed to get the rest of the high-rated shows of the 1950s TV seasons, including the first one (1950-51), but I couldn't do that since the envelope's section on Nielsen ratings was the only site I can get information on highly-rated TV shows from. If I don't find another site about Nielsen Ratings for every season since 1950, I will have to quit Wikipedia. Jim856796 17:19, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
