2020 NBA 2k league season moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2020 NBA 2k league season, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello Hoopstercat, and welcome to Wikipedia.

While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.

2020–21 United States network television schedule

Hi! I've noticed that you made several edits to the 2020–21 United States network television schedule, but I fixed and/or reverted some of them although you continued to place the same information. Let me explain why I removed your edits: particularly on the last one, you keep adding the same info.

• The "(If cbs national late games goes beyond 8 p.m. than the 10 p.m. show will be delayed for 1 week)" is not necessary since it only happened once so it's not relevant.
• The "(The ot will not air if fox national late games goes beyond 8 p.m.)" it's okay and I'll leave it.
• The "(continued until game completion)" after the Fox NFL is not necessary either since its end is perfectly visible in the schedule, not the same with SNF or the Saturday College Football.

On this edit I reverted what you added and explained why. I come here to talk to you because I don't want to fall under the WP:3RR. I appreciate that you are encouraged to contribute to the page, so if you need any help or have any questions, feel free to contact me. Cheers! — MrE (talk) 20:52, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok thanks for explaining sometimes if you don't leave a reason why you did it then i don't understand why you did it so thanks for explaining Hoopstercat (talk) 20:55, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Nfl Protect Page Request

I want to Personally let you know that Only administrators can protect Wikipedia Articles Especially NFl Playoffs page and unfortunately User Donnowin1 won't be able to protect the nfl playoffs page anyways since User Donnowin1 is not an administrator and protecting pages is only possible if a page is Vandalize so many times. The NFL playoffs page can only be protected by a administrator and only there is enough vandalism done to that page. --Chip3004 (talk) 05:59, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh, I forget to mention this but it is only up administrators to decide if a wikipedia page (such as the Nfl play offs page) is worthy for page protection and only can be protected under one condition if a page is Vandalized, Disruptive Edit happened so many times. My advice is ask Daniel_Case because he is an administrator and here is his link to his talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Daniel_Case

                                                                              I hope this helps! --Chip3004 (talk) 20:09, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Ok thanks Hoopstercat (talk) 01:47, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

But how to you become a administrator on Wikipedia?

Your draft article, Draft:2020 NBA 2k league season

Hello, Hoopstercat. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "2020 NBA 2k league season".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 16:04, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Well I tried to work on it but it was too outdated to try to make it a real article Hoopstercat (talk) 19:07, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

2020-21 United States Network Daytime schedule

Hi, the 2020–21 United States network television schedule (daytime) page is quickly becoming overblown with non-essential information and substantially different listings than previous daytime schedules. The pages list essential daytime information that is network programmed. Listing "some" stations schedules isn't relevant. To be specific, "The National Desk" only airs on 12 CW stations. That's a very small portion of the over 200 CW affiliates. Many of the programs, specifically sports, you have listed on weekends only air for a few weeks out of the year. We should be differentiating seasonal programming, but not on a near month-to-month basis. There is also not a single listing of a program that airs weekly on previous Monday-Friday schedules, so "FOX NFL Thursday" shouldn't be on there. Monday-Friday schedules list daily programming, not weekly. Finally, please keep with the color code of previous schedules. Local/syndicated programming is blue only on late-night schedules, it's white on daytime schedules. Thematrix92498 (talk) 16:11, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

So what should be the schedule guidelines? Like the primetime schedule i followed that in order to be on schedule it has to air on the same time slot for 3 weeks if aired new or live and 4 weeks if encores And blue is also the color on the primetime schedule for local programming And light green is the color for sporting events on the other schedules so should we apply them here too? Please reply and put something up so i know what the rules to putting things on the schedule Hoopstercat (talk) 18:01, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

If you can help fix it up and put something regarding what should and shouldn't be put on there i will follow them and also primetime schedule lists every day a separate schedule and this tv season late night schedule just expanded from 1 list to weekday and weekend list separately (in which i made it happen along with some others that fixed it up from the people that work on the primetime schedule) plus i am the only one currently working on this daytime schedule so if you want to revert some stuff you can but as long as you explain why you did it so if you want to go further let me know what you say back on this Hoopstercat (talk) 18:07, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

In terms of the Saturday and Sunday schedules, I haven’t edited those in the past, so I am less familiar with precedent there. I will fix up the Monday-Friday schedules and explain my edits. I have asked user MrE to assist with the weekend schedules, primarily in terms of color-coding. I understand wanting to keep daytime consistent with prime time and late night, but unfortunately they do have separate procedures. It is way too much work to go back and change every daytime schedule from 1950 onward, so for reference to colors or regularly scheduled programming refer back to recent schedules. Obviously, the programming differs, but as a general rule if a program airs for less than a month, it’s not worth mentioning. In addition, the Monday-Friday schedule should only include programs that are broadcasted on nearly all affiliate stations. Thank you for the edits you made to the late night page, that was very helpful. Thematrix92498 (talk) 11:36, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

2021–22 United States network television schedule

Hi. I'm here to let you know that if you go to the article's talk page, you will realize that it has been deleted twice. Please check that there is already a draft in which everyone involved in the previous schedules have been working all this time. I suggest that you delete this page and start contributing to the draft that is already in the works and, if you'd like to experiment, use your sandbox. — MrE (talk) 02:31, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Ok didn't know that Hoopstercat (talk) 11:22, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

And they also already moved it to that draft i think Hoopstercat (talk) 11:32, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes, because there is not enough information yet to become a main space article, plus to avoid WP:CRYSTAL. — MrE (talk) 17:01, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Ok get you and also is there a way i can visit the draft so i can edit it there? Hoopstercat (talk) 18:48, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

And also can others view that edit and contribute to a draft? Hoopstercat (talk) 18:56, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Everyone is free to edit any draft, and is visible to everyone; but remember to delete the other page so in the future there will not be any complications when the draft is moved to the main space. — MrE (talk) 19:11, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

What do you mean by that? Hoopstercat (talk) 19:33, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

WP:HISTMERGE requested

As you clearly "cut in line" ahead of the draft, which has existed for almost a year (and, FTR, I am skeptical that this was done by accident), I have requested a WP:HISTMERGE of your article with the draft, so that the proper article creator is credited for this. And, yes – you should have checked before creating this article – what you did was irresponsible, and possibly disruptive, especially if done deliberately. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:24, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Well i was here mostly because i was going to add on top of what was already there and it said it didn't have a article and then someone merged it to somewhere else and that caused the problem and i try my best to cite and try to be specific and certin of what i add Hoopstercat (talk) 23:37, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Your trying to remove the WP:HISTMERGE has me more convinced that you are not operating in good faith. Do that again, and further action will be taken. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:11, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey guys i have to say sorry for everything that happened the last couple of days i was too out of hand and was a bit worried about getting declined for the artcle again and went too intense on it i am still new to Wikipedia and still have lots to learn so will you guys help me for success and understand all of this? If so reply Hoopstercat (talk) 17:38, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Manual of style

Hey, I just wanted to ask you please review all your edits on the schedules before publishing. You keep editing without checking the aestethic issues, like the Italics for show names, the writing of footnotes, or the backgrounds on the daytime schedule. You have been editing for long now, so you should've learned those minor things by now; it becomes very tedious to fix those minor errors. Greetings! — MrE (talk) 01:15, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Ok thanks for telling me this sometimes theres just so much that it has to get done in more then 1 edit Hoopstercat (talk) 12:32, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey, it's been months since you began editing. Please get it together with the styling of the articles, guidelines and references or I'll report you in the future. If you need help, ask for it. — MrE (talk) 19:10, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Well i am getting the hang of how to set the font correctly but with the references i don't know how to set them correctly i do make sure they redirect to the right page but however what i do set it it doesn't look like the references you guys are fixing up to so how do you resolve that? Hoopstercat (talk) 19:44, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

If you use Edit source, at the top of the box you will find Cite>Templates>Cite web to provide a well constructed reference. As for the fonts, remember to use five apostophes for new shows and two for the returning shows. — MrE (talk) 20:17, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

For the millionth time, please check the style before publishing and avoid an edit war. Check the history before making changes because you undid my constructive edits several times into wrong-MoS edits. — MrE (talk) 23:11, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

I try my best to the manual of style correctly and sorry for the edit war it was my fault and I was trying to put my edit in before you were putting your changes and the new edit didn’t go through before I was finished editing what I was about to do Hoopstercat (talk) 23:55, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Lists of United States network television schedules. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 12:51, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Late night schedules

I've noticed that you added Today With Hoda and Jenna and 1st Look encores after splitting the schedule. First, as only NBC would have different Fri scheduling, this does not mean that it can't be added to the weeknights' schedule, as it's a waste of time and space. Second, apparently you checked with TV Guide your listings, but your primarily source should be always the network, and NBC reports A Little Late With Lilly Singh and NBC Nightly News encores in that timeslot you claim; And last, why it's so hard to mantain the Manual of Style of the schedules? You've been warned several times. Please do not undo those edits or at least ask on the talk page for consensus before doing big changes. — MrE (talk) 15:14, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Tv guide is just a source for listings at times and sometimes it's just a mistake and should of looked for more sources and i am still wondering on what you mean on manual of style? Hoopstercat (talk) 22:22, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

By MoS, I mean that every schedule has some characteristics in terms of style. For example, all shows must be written in italics and new shows in both bold and italics. Other things I've seen that you don't check are the correct use of capital letters, the writing of references (for example, those from The Futon Critic should be written like this: {{cite web|title=SHOW TITLE (NETWORK)|url=link|work=The Futon Critic|access-date=month dd, yyyy}}; avoid naming refs like :0, :1, etc.) and sometimes punctuation. — MrE (talk) 22:40, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Apparently, you didn't take notice AGAIN. Here you added the information again without the proper style. Also, I removed your note regarding The OT TWICE now as there is no need to tell when a show won't air as it's expected to air on most weeks (see the example here). Seriously, you've been warned several times. — MrE (talk) 01:08, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

I've told you that "as only NBC would have different Fri scheduling, this does not mean that it can't be added to the weeknights' schedule, as it's a waste of time and space", then why did you split the tables again?. You also keep editing without checking the style. It's getting tiring now. — MrE (talk) 21:38, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

So what needs to be done then? Hoopstercat (talk) 23:20, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

And also the table needs to be split because all of the weekday morning shows are not going on Saturday morning (which it will fall in the friday night schedule) examples include early today, America's this morning, cbs overnight news, cbs morning news and abc world news now Hoopstercat (talk) 23:25, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

June 2021

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at 2020–21 United States network television schedule (daytime), you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. — MrE (talk) 22:03, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Ok i read this and at most times i do read your page revert reasons as well and you do have to understand that when i edit the moment i post it i normally have realized a mistake as i read the page and thats why multiple edits at the same duration and i am still trying to figure out somethings like how to change font of a text and so on i do love you and many others that work on it together we can have success and thanks for telling me these things before it really goes out of hand Hoopstercat (talk) 20:56, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

2021 NFL Season edits

Hello! I wanted to let you know that I reverted two out of the three edits you made today on the 2021 NFL season page. One of which was because the week 14 games aren't officially set in stone yet, due to flex scheduling. The other was removing a few words (to make the article as concise as possible.) I've also noticed that you have been working on other articles which have resulted in a few users trying to help you out, but I wasn't sure if they told you about your sandbox. It's basically a test page for you, so that you can preview edits before copy/pasting them to publish. If you would like to know more about that (and I really do think it would help you,) please don't hesitate to reach out to me! Don't worry, I'm very patient and just want to help! Spf121188 (talk) 16:32, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Well rn I am kind of in the problem with the system after sending a big report and it’s been a month and it’s still not resolved so I am kind of limited in what I can do at this moment that’s why it’s not the best and yes I am happy and willing to do this together Hoopstercat (talk) 17:08, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

ABC/Fox Saturday morning

Don't know why you removed ABC and Fox from Saturday morning listings.

ABC, CBS, CW, and NBC all lease their Sat AM time slots to Litton to program for them...it's all done the same way for each network.

Fox also leases their air time out, but to Rotfeld Productions, who does the Xploration Station programming

Rotfeld also provides a syndicated package for stations (no matter the network) to fulfill their E/I obligations, but that is separate from what they do for Fox.

Long story short, none of the networks program their Saturday morning schedules - they all lease them out, so you can't include some and not others, because they all do the exact same thing.

Vjmlhds (talk) 01:38, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Oh ok then I get it now then let’s add all of them then and we can add a few other programs that we left out as well but the question is does weekend marketplace go the same way? Hoopstercat (talk) 14:23, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

The way the article looks now is A-OK. Another thing, I wouldn't make such an issue about how some affiliates may not air certain programs or blocks, because local affiliates have preempted/bypassed network programs since the networks came into existence. ABC used to have this issue a lot for their weekday 11 a.m. slot, as a lot of the affiliates would have rather aired syndicated talk shows than the low rated slop ABC had, but then The View debuted, became a hit, and the rest is history. Back in the day the networks did their own Saturday AM fare, but nowadays lease out the Sat AM slots to the highest bidder, and if the affiliate airs the block (either whole or parts of it) great, if not, oh well. But that goes for any other network time slot as well. Weekend Marketplace on Fox is in the same boat, if the affiliates air it, great, if not, life goes on, but it's there if they want it.

2021-22 US network schedule (morning)

Hi Hoopstercat,

There is currently a discussion on the talk page of the aforementioned schedule about color-coding for the extensions of the Today Show. I believe this is an issue we have already discussed several times and resolved. Can you please visit the talk page and confirm our resolution? There is a user who is repeatedly changing the news extensions to talk shows. Your help would be appreciated. Thematrix92498 (talk) 20:30, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello Hoopstercat,

This is less of a reply to Thematrix92498 but rather that I need to say this to Hoopstercat, It is a good idea, if you remerged the 2021-22 United States network television schedule (morning) and 2021-22 United States network television schedule (afternoon) back into a normal daytime lineup. I’m fine if it doesn’t look the same as previous lineups, just that it would be nice. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Here’s my deal with Today extensions they should be news programs because it is based off the original program Today, (Today 3rd hour and H&J are considered extensions for a reason since it’s based off of the original program) Hoopstercat (talk) 17:04, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

The problem with remerging the morning and afternoon is it makes the schedule really long and the category options would be too long i agree we keep them separate Hoopstercat (talk) 17:05, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Another reason in keeping morning and afternoon separate is CW Doesn’t air any afternoon programming at all (since it removed the weekday daytime hour away) which makes more sense to not list CW in the afternoon at all than to have local programming go across the Saturday afternoon block and have to spilt blocks further Hoopstercat (talk) 17:20, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

You do realize that you can do something like the 2002-03 lineup in which Fox is not on the weekday lineup yet it’s still on the weekend lineups. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 16:53, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Also, look at some of the previous lineups, there are not that long. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 16:55, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

No the problem is CW is on the Saturday morning schedule but it’s not on the afternoon or any other morning schedule at all putting morning and afternoon schedule together would force us to put local programming across the entire Saturday afternoon block for CW and it’s not needed for that Hoopstercat (talk) 00:06, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Then just combine the lineups or make the schedules look like previous lineups. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 11:26, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Combine the lineups would cause the CW Problem mentioned earlier and it would also cause the categories list to be too long since some categories only air on mornings and others afternoons only but make them look like previous schedules makes the problem of making the main schedule (the primetime one) not look identical which they should because all of the schedules combined it’s a whole day Hoopstercat (talk) 01:53, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Plus we did put on the afternoon schedule that CW is not going to be included in any of its schedules from this season and on since it removed the daytime weekday hour clock combining with the morning schedule wouldn’t make that statement true anymore and so due to the networks that air morning and afternoon are different (4 networks air afternoon and 5 in the morning) it makes more sense to keep them separate Hoopstercat (talk) 01:57, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

First by schedules looking like previous lineups, I meant the DAYTIME lineups. Plus couldn’t you just look at the 2020-21 United States network television schedule (daytime) for reference. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 21:12, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Here’s my deal we can make the previous daytime schedule look like this 1 since If we change the current one then it becomes a problem since the color code for all schedules should be the same Hoopstercat (talk) 22:02, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

2020-2021 was the 1st year we added spring and summer schedules to the mix and adding in overnight schedules which each year we put a bit of each into the mix and this season was doing morning and afternoon and that’s why the redirect link to 2020-21 season on each of the pages redirect back to the daytime one since it comprises both of the smaller schedules Hoopstercat (talk) 22:04, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

The Spring and Summer lineups existed before. At the same time, this is going a little crazy so, can you re combine the 2021-22 United States network television schedule (morning and afternoon) lineups. Also, that is just a odd case of a excuse. I’m not trying to be mean I am just saying. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 11:27, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

At least, fix the time layout for the daytime lineup to make it look like previous lineups. That’s my comprise. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 11:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Well I already have the next tv season made spilt so that’s I guess how we are doing it going forward plus with it spilt it does reduce a lot of extra lines in the morning schedule since it doesn’t change as often as afternoon Hoopstercat (talk) 11:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Put out a topic in the article talk page and we can put it into consideration with everyone else if you want to go further since we need everyone’s thoughts on this Hoopstercat (talk) 11:38, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Yes we should. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 20:27, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

The reason why I changed the legend for the 2021-22 United States network television schedule (morning) is because I was making it more consistent to previous DAYTIME lineups. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 21:50, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Here’s the deal on this we are considering public affairs and news as 2 different categories since so we know which 1 is the morning news program and which is the program that airs only on Sunday mornings that’s why they are 2 different colors Hoopstercat (talk) 23:48, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

But I do have a opinion on this I think we should leave the legend how it is because it makes more sense now that we have all the schedules using the same type of legend so when people go back and forth between the schedule they know it’s the same since it can get confusing if it’s not Hoopstercat (talk) 23:50, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Confusing? I don’t get it. I’d recommend one thing though, recombine the 2021-22 United States network television schedule (morning and afternoon) into one daytime lineup or at least change the time slot look to look like previous daytime lineups. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 00:56, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

We can but we just need to list CW At the bottom on Saturdays since it is the only network that is different and it really messes the block combinations (the more common networks need to be grouped so more blocks can be combined to reduce a lot of extra space) don’t you agree on that? And the afternoon schedule section above the legend will have to be changed if we recombine through so how do you think on that? Hoopstercat (talk) 01:28, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

But another thing I may agree on is what do you mean by time slots? Hoopstercat (talk) 01:29, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

NBA 2K League

Hello, Hoopstercat,

As a rule, we advise moving only recently created article from main space to draft space so that they can be improved. My rule of thumb is only articles that are 6 months old or younger. But it is typically brand new articles that are "draftified". This article was 5 years old and at that point it is inappropriate to move it to Draft space. If you believe the article should be improved, then improve it yourself or start a talk page discussion on what you think should happen to improve the article. Or if they believe the article should be deleted, then either PROD it or nominate it for deletion at AFD. Thank you for your work on Wikipedia. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:47, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Serious grammatical errors.

Hi User:Hoopstercat. I love the work you have been putting into Wikipedia, however I have been noticing that some of your errors include grammatical errors that make articles unreadable after you edit them. You may want to use a third party service such as Grammarly to get rid of some of these errors. Thank you! Esolo5002 (talk) 01:38, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

I will try to make it more understandable thanks for letting me know sometimes I even read it to make sure it makes sense Hoopstercat (talk) 01:46, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Daytime schedule recombination

This is a continuation of a talk in the 2021-22 U.S. network schedule (morning) of the daytime schedules which have been split to morning and afternoon.

Not here the article talk page Hoopstercat (talk) 21:28, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

There’s already a section about the daytime schedule split. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 11:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Then put it in there Hoopstercat (talk) 11:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

April 2022

Please do not add or change content, as you did at 2022 USFL season, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Eagles 24/7 (C) 01:33, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

I did cite the source all the references are on the far right of the chart to make it more nice Hoopstercat (talk) 02:22, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

"virtually no fans" does not mean "zero fans" and you can clearly see people in the stands in the pictures from the games. That fails WP:V and someone else has already reverted you again. Do not add back until you have a definitive source stating this. Eagles 24/7 (C) 12:30, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Ok thanks that makes more sense with the explanation Hoopstercat (talk) 15:17, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

2021–22 United States network television schedule

Hi! I noticed you undid my revision to the 2021–22 United States network television schedule. I was confused by your comment on undoing the revision. Endgame ended on May 5th, and since then the Weakest Link has aired 4 times. The first was a repeat on May 30th as you mentioned in your comment. After that, the next three episodes, starting June 6th have all been new, and the one scheduled for next week is also new. Going with what you said about going with what is most constant shouldn't it be listed as new? — Ev_Thom (talk) 14:54, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

What I mean is after the finale (6/27) and after the 4 of July Holiday (7/11-8/15) that time slot is all repeats so therefore that has more airings of repeats than new that’s why it’s set to a repeat (new and repeat of the same show and time slot takes the 1 that airs more) Hoopstercat (talk) 15:37, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying, and I appreciate all the work you do on that page. Ev Thom (talk) 17:16, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

You are welcome and thanks that now you can understand what I am saying Hoopstercat (talk) 18:05, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Map in 2022 USFL season

I don't know why you can't see this, but it's impossible for a map of Birmingham, Alabama, to display a location in Canton, Ohio. Even though you seem to have finally got the right coordinates for Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium (which you could have easily obtained from our article on the place), the only effect your repeated edits have had is to introduce a line in the map's caption that doesn't correspond to anything in the map itself. I recommend that you revert the article to the state it was in before you started messing with the map. Deor (talk) 15:11, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Is there a way to display the map to where the entire US is on the map since you can technically zoom out and see the hall of fame Stadium Hoopstercat (talk) 16:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

If a U.S. map is displayed, there will be no way to distinguish between the two locations in Birmingham, since the markers for them will essentially be at the same spot. Deor (talk) 17:09, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Then we either need another map to display canton or we need to zoom It far enough out to see the 2 stadiums in Birmingham and enough to see canton Hoopstercat (talk) 17:22, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Myself, I can't see why you just don't leave the map showing regular-season venues, dropping the idea of adding the Canton one. In fact, I don't really see the point of including a map at all. The names of the venues are linked in the article, and anyone who wants to see where they are can simply click on the links and then on the coordinates in their articles. Deor (talk) 17:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

P.S. I tried repositioning the center of the map and reducing the zoom level, but any map that includes both Birmingham and Canton will have the two Birmingham location markers on top of each other. Deor (talk) 17:55, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

And the map (as revised by you) currently in the article doesn't show any of the three venues. If you don't know what you're doing, it's probably a good idea not to do anything. Deor (talk) 17:59, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

I understand that but you can always zoom in and out of the map while you are in the map to see the locations more precisely Hoopstercat (talk) 18:37, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

A random person coming to the article will see a map that's supposed to show three locations and instead shows none. In any event, I'm washing my hands of the business, as I don't care about football and was attracted to the article only because your inclusion of impossible values in a {{coord}} template resulted in an entry in Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags. Deor (talk) 18:50, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Ok then we can put it as far zoomed out to Birmingham to tell the difference between the 2 stadiums there then put make sure that the 3rd stadium is in some distance (when I first put the coordinates in I put it in decimal degrees in the Decimal, degrees and minutes box so I had to convert that) Hoopstercat (talk) 02:27, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

2022–23 United States network television schedules

Hi Hoopstercat! I think the morning, afternoon, and late-night schedules for 2022-23 somehow got cloned. There are two of each of them. The two versions of the late-night schedules have different edits. The second 2022-23 morning schedule links to the 2021-22 schedule. It's very strange. I think this has something to do with how we're providing links to past schedules in the archive box at the top and bottom of each page? We should stop linking to "daytime" schedules once they were split into morning and afternoon. Do you think we are able to fix these issues? Thematrix92498 (talk) 02:46, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes since I know I normally start the following tv seasons a year ahead like primetime and I guess someone else made the same page since they should be deleted Hoopstercat (talk) 14:45, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

But for 2021-22 yes link the morning and afternoon schedule back over to daytime but other than that lets not Hoopstercat (talk) 14:45, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Ok, sounds good. Thematrix92498 (talk) 19:07, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Major League Baseball on FS1

Hi Hoopstercat, I reverted your blanking of Major League Baseball on FS1 because that blanking was never discussed. That page allows us to shorten Major League Baseball on Fox, which is still too long. Was there ever a discussion on your move? Esolo5002 (talk) 00:14, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

The article was basically duplicating the entire article of the Fox property plus most other properties owned by Cable channels are merged into 1 so it should all be in 1 article (titled Major League Baseball on Fox Sports) Hoopstercat (talk) 01:29, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to HouseBroken, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Per WP:SYNTH, Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source.

NFL on Thanksgiving Day

It appears that you tried to give NFL on Thanksgiving Day a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into NFL on Thanksgiving. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In thus case, because the page already exists at the target title, what you should have done was follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves on how to propose renaming the page. Since you had already started such a suggestion on Talk:NFL on Thanksgiving Day, I have gone ahead and adding the requested move tags for you. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:52, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

2023–24 United States network television schedule (overnight) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to 2023–24 United States network television schedule (overnight). Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Why did you feel the need to move the Major League Baseball on ABC article to ESPN Major League Baseball on ABC back in July 2023?

Please keep in mind that as of now, Major League Baseball isn't a permanent fixture on ABC's schedule, and hasn't been so since 1995, when the network was along with NBC, a part of The Baseball Network. The Baseball Network just like with ESPN Major League Baseball already has an individual, independent article away from ABC's and NBC's articles on their respective MLB coverage. ABC bare in mind, has broadcast baseball well before ESPN ever existed, so why is it solely being defined by the ESPN branding?

Since the year 2020, there's only been a handful of MLB games to air on ABC. They broadcast about three-four Wild Card Round games in-between 2020 and 2022 and an exclusive Sunday Night Baseball game in August 2021. In the years 2021 and 2022, ABC only broadcast a single MLB game each.

If there's any official press releases and the like that clearly states the name of the coverage ESPN Major League Baseball on ABC then please let me know. Otherwise, this isn't going to be guaranteed, to be an on-going weekly series. We don't even know for sure yet if ABC will even air any of the Wild Card series games in 2023. Again, since ABC as of now, doesn't have a full-blown broadcasting contract with Major League Baseball, shouldn't these be considered "one-off" specials?

I've noticed that you did that with other sports programs on ABC's schedule like the NHL, NBA, and the NFL (which as of now, airs simulcasts from ESPN instead of exclusive coverage) when there's no hardcore evidence that the official on-air and commonly excepted branding is ESPN [insert league]] on ABC.

Merging pages also require attribution

Hi there. Similar to when you copy articles within Wikipedia, you should also link the exact pages that you are merging in the edit summaries. It is not enough to merely enter something like "combining pages" without specifying which pages they actually are. For example, when you recently edited List of Sunday Night Football results (1987–2005), you should have entered something like Merging content from [[List of Sunday Night Football on TNT results (1990–1997)]]. And when you converted List of Sunday Night Football on TNT results (1990–1997) to a redirect, you should have linked in the edit summary something like Merging content to [[List of Sunday Night Football results (1987–2005)]]. See WP:PROMERGE. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:05, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok that made sense Hoopstercat (talk) 12:06, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of NBA Sunday Showcase on ABC results

Hello, Hoopstercat,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Grahaml35, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, List of NBA Sunday Showcase on ABC results, for deletion, because it is a very short article that doesn't provide readers with enough context to determine who or what the subject is.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Grahaml35}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

3rd Hour of Today

Hi there. Please don't split articles without creating a discussion. Today 3rd Hour isn't notable enough on its own and the section Today (American TV program)#Today 3rd Hour isn't large enough to justify a separate article. Limmidy (talk) 22:06, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Well the way I was spilting it was putting the entire history of the 3 rd hour of Today as a whole even before the 2000 expansion Hoopstercat (talk) 22:09, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

My only suggestions are to create a discussion and follow the Manual of Style. It would be best to discuss with other editors whether a separate article about the third hour itself is a good idea. There is no rush for this! As for the manual of style, please be sure to check that as well since you've already been warned multiple times. Limmidy (talk) 22:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Manual of style to me i am still not as understanding in what it really means Hoopstercat (talk) 22:50, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

So it's kinda like bolding (like this) and using italics (like this) for certain things. For example, mentioning "breakfast television" on Wikipedia could mean two things: Breakfast Television (a specific Canadian TV show) or breakfast television (the topic). The Manual of Style suggests using italics for TV show titles to visually differentiate them. That way, someone reading an article will be able to tell whether a TV show named Breakfast Television is being mentioned specifically or the general topic of breakfast/morning television. Using italics and proper capitalization makes it clearer. The Manual of Style is a guideline for the visual stylization of text to make articles easier to read and understand.

Here are two examples of similar sentences:

1. A common breakfast television segment is news.
2. A common Breakfast Television segment is news.

The difference here is that the second one talks about the Breakfast Television show specifically, while the first one is just a general analysis on morning TV shows. Limmidy (talk) 00:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

TBS (American TV channel)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give TBS (American TV channel) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into TBS (American TV network). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 15:24, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes I have tried to use the page move feature but the Destination page already existed so I was trying to work around that as I currently have no idea how to delete the article Hoopstercat (talk) 19:23, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

March 2024

Hello, although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Hulu, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Just a friendly reminder. Packerfan386beer here 03:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
