message: :Image:Namethattune2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: The article is currently written very America centric and even has "Foreign Versions" as the title of the international section. Considering that this show was long running outside of America and there were a lot of generic themes, could this article be rewritten to be generic of country and then state the international variations? --82.29.128.23 (talk) 07:23, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Last I checked, this is the English Wikipedia. As such, the article talks about the American versions of Tune and discusses the foreign versions separately. Further, some foreign versions had different formats, and making the article generic would not help anybody. Daniel Benfield (talk) 17:15, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

message: You might want to add this into the entry. Tom Kennedy and company produced a private gag reel, just like with the Rainbow twangers episode. ElMeroEse (talk) 20:08, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks but that's not really encyclopedic information. It would be like adding comments about countless other "blooper reels" for other television shows. Sottolacqua (talk) 20:28, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Would it be worth mentioning the 1950s/60s UK series Spot the Tune in the international versions given the similarities between the two. Also the article on the UK version of Name That Tune (1976-1988, 1997-1998) actually describes Spot the Tune as 'The British version' of Name That Tune and the later UK version of name Name That Tune as a revival of it).

thread_title:  Spot the Tune 

message: The current article states:
:Name That Tune ran from 1953–59 on NBC and CBS in prime time
This immediately follows this text in the preceding paragraph:
:Premiering in the United States on NBC Radio in 1952
This is not clear to readers, particularly when NBC appears in both texts.  Running "from 1953–59 on NBC and CBS in prime time" sounds like a consistent run on a single, unspecified, medium.  Many readers would reasonably assume that, since the two text sections are in separate paragraphs, that the second paragraph is in a new context, presumably TV, though no citation or details are given to support this.
It is also quite possible that the aforementioned 1952 NBC radio run continued beyond 1953 and possibly only on radio.
In addition, the current infobox states:
:Original network:
::NBC Radio (1952–54, 1974–75, 1977)
::CBS (July 6, 1953 – October 19, 1959)
::Syndicated (1970–71, 1974–81, 1984–85)
which, at least confuses, if not contradicts, the statement in the article:
:Name That Tune ran from 1953–59 on NBC and CBS in prime time
The infobox supports the previously-stated possibility that the NBC radio broadcasts overlapped the TV broadcasts, which presumably began in 1954.
  
Given these inconsistencies, I will add a Specify template to the article.  I believe this is the correct template to use in this situation.
Note that I tried to resolve these inconsistencies myself but could not find an authoritative resource.  I hope a fellow Wikipedian is able to fill in the details
