IPs and PBS funding edits

Funny how user 142.26.141.158 shows up four days after 24.66.6.42 gets blocked and immediately starts picking up where the latter left off. --Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:56, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply on my talk page

Since I was adding the section "Controversy with The Lion and Bear from Teletubbies on PBS Kids" section, I couldn't find a source (e.g. a news article) to make it referenced. I wish I can post it on the Teletubbies page, but one of the buttons said "View Source" instead of "Edit." Someone needs to un-protect it, NOW!!!!

I don't know, and article talk pages are not discussion boards. Try searching online for an answer, or try posting your question on a discussion board somewhere. Further, please do not post on my talk page again demanding answers from me about anything. -Dwimble (talk) 05:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What's A Reliable Source?

Please, do tell. Also, prove existing sources are reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.227.220.81 (talk) 05:03, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See: Reliable sources, for an answer to your question. You should also check out The five pillars of Wikipedia for some helpful info about what Wikipedia is and how to use it. You may have some very real and heartfelt complaints about RIM, but Wikipedia is not a soapbox on which to air them; it is an encyclopedia. If you have some links to news articles, court cases, or some other verifiable sources regarding your accusations, then by all means provide them in a future edit to a relevant section of the article (perhaps after some discussion on the article's talk page). Keep in mind, however, that any edits should be written from a neutral point of view. Otherwise, I'd suggest taking your grievances to some other forum more suited to your purpose. -Dwimble (talk) 06:14, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My Edits

On PBS Kids page, I noticed there were major differences from their noted website on what is running and what ran. I wanted to fix this false information to clear it up. Sorry for the mistake of not listing it. I didn't know I had to. --Shaniack77 (talk) 18:11, 14 December 2012 (UTC) Shaniack77[reply]

PBS Kids Go!

What did you erase PBS Kids Go dissolved by imploding? --71.40.58.182 (talk) 17:04, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because PBS Kids GO! didn't "implode". That's ridiculous. PBS simply ended the brand, switching to "PBS Kids" only branding.

It's not ridiculous. --71.40.58.182 (talk) 20:42, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is a simple branding change, as outlined in the source I provided in the article. To use an extreme term like "imploding" to refer to something like that is hyperbole to say the least. Perhaps "by imploding" is some sort of slang term that I'm not aware of, used in the entertainment industry to refer to a modest branding change, but I doubt it. And even if that were true, it might be appropriate to use it in some sort of trade publication, but not in an encyclopedia.

Why did you erase Peg + Cat postponed due to Boston bombing? --71.40.58.182 (talk) 21:16, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because it is an unsourced claim. If you have a legitimate news source or statement from the producers verifying that claim, then feel free to post that statement again with a reference and link. Without a reference it just looks like an unverifiable rumor or vandalism.

Come on, PBS Kids always premiered their new shows in Labor Day. --24.170.77.177 (talk) 23:09, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PBS doing something different than the way they have "always" done it in the past doesn't entitle Wikipedia editors to invent a reason for the change and pass it off as fact. Without a verifiable, legitimate source it is just hearsay and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Perhaps you should read a bit about how to use Wikipedia, because contributions are always welcome, but there are certain guidelines that need to be followed. Here's the info taken from the Welcome message at the top of this page (I also just added this to your Talk page, along with some other info):

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

I looked on Disney Wiki, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse aired for last time in December 27, 2013. Go on it, and prove that I'm right or wrong: http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Mickey_Mouse_Clubhouse — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oswald Vitor (talk • contribs) 18:37, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a valid source. It is a site that anyone can edit, using content from Wikipedia. Minnie-rella is scheduled to air on 2/14 for the first time. It is Season 5 episode 3. A simple search of any online TV guide will show that. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse may or may not have been cancelled...but even if it has, its final episode hasn't yet aired. -Dwimble (talk) 18:50, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

TVGuide.com

Oswald did not run for two seasons; TVGuide.com, which is not affiliated with Nickelodeon in any way, falsely claims this because iTunes divided the season into two "volumes" at one point. However, iTunes has since corrected this issue. Both iTunes and Amazon have their content provided directly by Viacom, and the series was never renewed for a second season (no record is found through Nick press releases, although they do mention the season one finale being the last episode aired). I hope that you will see understand my reasoning here. Pablor2010 (talk) 19:36, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
