Unsorted message

I used to actively work on this page for the disambiguation project and when I totaled the edits I did it worked out that something over 95% of them were links to Nickelodeon (tv channel) and so I redirected Nickelodeon to that page. Has there been a change?Barkeep49 00:27, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting into 2 pages

I went ahead and moved the other page to List of Nickelodeon international channels, which I think makes more sense. Added the link here. --User:Woohookitty ^{Disamming fool!} 07:46, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're too obsessed about TV

Wake up. The world doesn't revolve around your TV set. Quote: "Nickelodeon is an American cable TV channel". Wrong. The term MAY refer to a TV channel (among others). BTW, you omitted the "jukebox" meaning.Srelu (talk) 23:43, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It starts like that as Nickelodeon the article is on the TV channel, because it's the main, or primary, meaning of "Nickelodeon". Even outside the US it's widely used for the TV channel and the associated company. Other uses are largely historical and/or very minor (the names of particular things, such as an album, a movie theatre). I had a look at jukebox and there's no mention of "Nickelodeon" there, and I've never come across it as a name for them, so it seems unrelated.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 01:25, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Let me help you with a reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXYwP6PNYRA.

Anther reference is the dictionary itself: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nickelodeon

The fact that the "jukebox" article is poorly written is not an excuse especially if you were warned.

Th fact that some meanings are "largely historical and/or very minor" isn't an excuse either, an encyclopedia must talk about all of them regarless of how important the author of the article sees them. Srelu (talk) 02:03, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing mistaken, just what some folks called the thing

qte - A coin-operated player piano or orchestrion or a jukebox, due to mistaken use of the name in the 1949 song "Music! Music! Music!" - Someone probably did some fine wikipedia research for this garbage. If you allow me some input as Original Research. . Nickelodeon is what us old folks called the juke box that was sitting in the corner of the diner and your daddy would give you a coin to make it play music. I think it was more than a nickel by then, but that's what that thing was called. I don't recall them being called jukebox until much later, in my teens. Now you can go and have fun digging up your permitted sources for this. But this is what actually happened in history, rather than what you wrote it as. 107.117.180.30 (talk) 107.117.180.30 (talk) 13:05, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user is correct. Those who need printed evidence, check out Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy, Book 1, Chapter 17, where a coin-operated player piano is called a "Nickelodeon" (p. 129 in my Vintage Classics edition). Dreiser's novel is from 1925, long before "Music! Music! Music!" I've removed the bit describing this use as "mistaken" from the page. 71.105.240.13 (talk) 21:30, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
