Get the Picture

[edit]

The reason why I am removing your edits is because "your" (assuming that you are indeed Bill Timberlake) name alone in the article is not verifiable, notable, or otherwise contributes to the article in any way.

Your edits are not verifiable because a Google Search turns nothing up. A quick check at other TV-related sites does not list "your" name.

It follows that your name alone is not notable. The only name in the article that is notable is Mike O'Malley, who is a star of other television programs other than "Get the Picture."

Your addition to the article interrupts the prose of the article, and does not create any tangible reason of being in there besides your own personal benefit.

The aforementioned reasons all point to why I have reverted your edits on multiple occasions. If you continue to add unreferenced and non-notable information, you risk being blocked.

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia did not provide specific references or sources. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Editors may choose to remove material you have contributed if it is not verifiable. Please provide specific references in your contributions to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content. You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks!

Alright, I admit I was too much over the top in my response. Given the fact that you are not listed at either IMdB nor TV.com, I have to assume that you were not part of the show.
Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and the Television WikiProject does not have any provisions for listing the crew, save the executive producer, creator, and the like. So, for your name to get into the article is unlikely.
As for if Wikipedia is only for "famous people," Wikipedia is just trying not to become a sponge for any random trivia and snippets of knowledge. Mike O'Malley sounding like he said a swear word is borderline notable, but listing the key grip for the series' run probably isn't. I, too, would like to see cast and crew mentioned, but Wikipedia's policies don't allow for this to happen. See Criticism of Wikipedia for more complaints and gripes. This page will probably be helpful for your radio show.
In reference to the quote you just mentioned (the Return of the Jedi), that is particularly non-notable, and does not have any references. I didn't notice that the last time I looked at the article. Admittedly, the "Get the Picture" page is of low quality to begin with, and I hope we can weed out junk that isn't very relevant to the article.
