Talk:Journey to the West (1996 TV series)

message: Hi,
I write this to User:Lonelydarksky since I have understood you prefer discussions on article talk pages.  
First I want to thank you for adding content to this article. I mean it. Second, I want to ask you why do you think synopses of episodes should not be on Wikipedia. I checked WP:Summary style, WP:Plot summaries, and What Wikipedia is not and have not found a reason for deleting the synopses from this article. 
For including them I give you three reasons; the last is the result of my thinking about what might be wrong with my synopses accoring to you, and I might have miseed a point there.
  
1) I have not found synopses of this TV series in English anywhere else, so information like this is useful for anyone intereseted in the series. Of course, if there are English sources with such information (which may no doubt happen), a link will be much appreciated, since it would be more convenient for raders, and would save my time.  
2) There are TV series articles with plot summaries that are longer than the summaries I provided. e.g. List of The Big Bang Theory episodes (season 5). 
3) The article did not consist of only synopses and the synopses were not excessively long with regard to the article - and if they were, a new page should have been created instead of deleting information ("In general, information should not be removed from Wikipedia.") I also tried to focus on those details that differ from other Journey to the West TV adaptations.  
I am quite a new user probably not acquainted with some of the deeper intricacies of wikipeadia policy so I would appreciate backed-up answers precisly to the point to avoid future mistakes. Thank you, and hope to hear from you, WikiHannibal (talk) 00:21, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The plot synopsis is unnecessary because the bulk of it is almost the same as Journey to the West#Synopsis. You've probably noticed that plot summaries are usually not written for films and television series based on the Four Great Classical Novels and others such as Jin Yong's wuxia novels, unless the adaptation significantly deviates from the original story. Even if it's the latter case, the plot summary section will not cover the whole story, but rather, it points out the differences between the original source and the adaptation. In such instances, we must be careful to avoid original research. Two examples are The Book and the Sword (2008 TV series) and Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain (2006 TV series). This earlier version is WP:PLOTONLY because nearly half of the entire article is synopsis.   Lonelydarksky (暗無天日)  contact me (聯絡) 04:56, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Level 3 (TV series)

message: Level 3 unfortunately no longer shows on TVS on Tuesday nights.  It retains two less-prestigous times, I believe one is on about 10.30pm Thursday nights (?) and the other 4am on Sunday mornings.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.53.199.241 (talk) 23:26, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I have just gone through and removed a big chunk of unsourced, non-notable information - and a lot of colourful prose; with some of the included biographies reading like a best-man's speech at a wedding.  I am having trouble finding any reliable 3rd party sources of information to even support the existence of this article in the first place, but will continue to search. It seems perhaps the most notable thing about this article is the mention of a media personality Jamie McDonald (who appeared on The Secret Life of Us and Big Brother Australia).

message: Please expand the scope of this article to discuss instances where limited series are turned into "regular" ones.
Just to take a single recent example: HBO's Perry Mason was just renamed from Perry Mason (miniseries) to Perry Mason (2020 TV series). I'm sure there are loads of other examples, and more to the point, discussion of it among the scholars of the genre (such as the "commentators" discussed here: Miniseries#History)

Talk:Michael Cutter

message: Is the fictional character of Michael Cutter really opposed of the death penalty? If I understood "Executioner" correctly, he is actually supporting the death penalty. He does not want to prosecute the doctor who partcipated in the executions, because from his point of view everything was legal (so McCoy did it). And later he does not want to cut a deal with the person who tried to murder the doctor who participated in the executions (so Conny has to convince him to do that). So perhaps it is too much to say that he is a fan of the death penalty (not enough information given on this particular episode), yet he accepts it - in my opinion, he is definitifly not an opponent of it. As an additional thought: Cutter attacks the judge in this episode because of his political views. Phil  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.172.227.140 (talk) 00:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Death Penalty?

message: Is Pro-Life really a personality trait?  If someone asked about a friend/family member's personality, their stance on abortion would probably not enter my mind.  Is there somewhere else we can put this?  Also I saw the episode, the stance of the lawyers on abortion was not particularly clear cut.  I would say it was only clear that Cutter was only definitely opposed to abortion after the fetus was a certain number of weeks old, but this seems all to be extraneous information.  If someone can come up with a better category to place the character's positions on abortion and the death penalty, this information would be relevant.Rachaella (talk) 03:50, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Multiplex (television)

message: As of today the article starts "A multiplex or mux (called virtual sub-channel in the United States and Canada...)". I won't edit the article as I'm not sure of usage, but this definition sounds wrong to me; the virtual sub-channels are encoded within the multiplex, rather than being the entire multiplex, surely? I would expect the UK sentence "the bands used by former analog channels have been given to multiplexes, each carrying several digital channels", while I would expect American English usage to be something like "channels which were dedicated to analog programming are now shared by a number of virtual sub-channels". So the equivalence is:
* UK multiplex <==> US/Can channel
* UK channel <==> US/Can virtual sub-channel
Maybe somebody who knows usage in both cases can, if what I say makes sense, modify the article. Pol098 (talk) 20:02, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Music television

message: This topic "Music television" really covers several different types of music related programs which should if they don't already have separate articles. We should discuss the different types of shows, especially TV era shows, and link to the separate articles for each type of show (we can create new article for type not currently specifically covered). We should also link to a lists of popular music programs on TV and radio by country (maybe country specific article in some cases, where an worldwide list would otherwise be too big). Here are the types of music programs I could think of that might deserve a mention:
* Music dance shows - Shows in which a live audience can dance to live bands/singers or lip-synced recordings. This includes American Bandstand and Soul Train.
* Music shows featuring live performances of bands with a seated studio audience without dancing - Think The Midnight Special, Austin City Limits, Grand Ol Oprey,  The Lawrence Welk Show, The Johnny Cash Show,  Top of the Pops, & This is Tom Jones, & The Old Grey Whistle Test.
* Music-Variety shows where music was combined with variety acts and comedy skits - Think The Ed Sullivan Show, Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, Showtime and the Apollo, Glen Camble Good-time Hour, and Hee-Haw.
* Music Video Shows - such as Friday Night Videos, Yo MTV Raps, etc. 
* Children's music shows
* Classical/World/Adult music/performing arts shows - Such as PBS's Great performances or MTV's Taking the Stage.
* Music Talent Shows (or General talent shows with a music category) - Such as American Idol, X-Factor, The Voice, Star Search, The Masked Singer, etc.
* Local Dance/Music shows only seen in one market - example: Dance Party of San Francisco's KOFY TV-20 in the 80's.
* We should also cover the decline of these types of shows and music TV channels in general (MTV,, VH-1, Much Music, etc) with the rise of the internet and music streaming/downloads.  Notcharliechaplin (talk) 21:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Network change

message: In the UK, 'Network Change' is the term currently being used by the government for an extensive long-term programme of alterations to the Post Office network, it has been a large topic of media discussion in the UK and will likely continue to be for some time, could this article be edited to include some reference to it? StainlessScissors (talk) 13:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: UK

message: We should divide this list into several categories, as the change in networks can be entirely different.  I would propose:
* Shows that were canceled by one network, only to be picked up by another (especially the ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX to UPN/WB ones)
* Moves between different channels within one broadcasting company
* Sporting events whose broadcasting rights tend to move often
Also, this list needs some checking through.  Monk, for instance,  never aired an episode on ABC.

message: Can anyone provide a reliable source that The Sopranos shot at the NHMC? Several web pages list it, but often say "according to Wikipedia, ..." This would be for episodes 2, 3, and 4 of season 6, which aired in March and April of 2006. Since other scenes from those episodes were shot in the Los Angeles region, it might be possible that they indeed shot there, but I would really like to see a source. The end credits for those episodes don't mention the NHMC, but episode 3 does mention the New Jersey Institute of Technology, which was used for the cafeteria and exteriors. Could it be that the NJIT was also used for the interior of Tony's room and the NHMC wasn't used at all? -- Sander (talk) 22:24, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I propose that the very small, unsourced page Radio personality should be merged and redirected here. Although that phrase has a few hundred incoming links, an unknown number of those are piped as "presenter" anyway (e.g. 3rd para of this section). – Fayenatic London 20:22, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose  This article ("Presenter") is just as poorly sourced: a single source to verify that "MC" stands for "master of ceremonies", a subject with its own separate article.  This article, particularly the lead, is also too broad and too UK-centric to serve as a worldwide umbrella term for all types of hosts (museum and university exhibitors have little in common with Howard Stern).  "Presenter" is rarely (if ever) used in American English to identify broadcasters; "personality" is by far the preferred term.  Note that basic Google search yields 4.5 million results for "radio personality", only 1.7 mil for "radio presenter".  Similarly, Google news search for "radio personality" yields 9,600+ results (nearly all American), while search for "radio presenter" yields some 1,400+ results.  If anything, all broadcast/media content should be placed in a separate article, and given its relative lack of an online presence, such an article should *not* have the word "presenter" in the title.
