Talk:List of programs broadcast by Adult Swim

message: I am requesting the person who keeps removing all of the info to stop what he is doing. Even if it contains original research it is no reason to delete everything. Original research is deleted anyway unless it has actual proof, which pretty much everything does! This page has been like this for years with no problem. I don't see why it needs to change now. This is useful info you can't get anywhere else. Stop changing everything. It pains me to see such an excellent page be reduced so much. And also, this page is VERY navigable. I have the slowest computer in the world and this page loads up perfectly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.53.83.234 (talk) 00:55, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

text: This page should absolutely be consistent with other television 'programs broadcast' lists.  The colors and formatting choices used on this page are arbitrary and inappropriate.  Also, there should be an encyclopedic reason to include rating information other than "it's useful."  With regards to unaired pilots- if unaired pilots on broadcast networks were listed, that section would be longer than the actual produced shows.  That information is not appropriate for a "programs broadcast" list, since they were not broadcast.  Finally: on Wikipedia, in your comments and edit summaries please remember to be civil and not resort to threats.  Thanks.  --  Wikipedical (talk) 09:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

text: Again, please do not resort to threats.  As I have said and as you have mentioned in your comments above, the unique formatting with colors is purely decorative and inappropriate.  I believe that the page should be consistent with other "programs broadcast" lists, and thus it should be organized by airing status (current, upcoming, past), not by type of content (original programming, syndicated, etc.).  You have not mentioned why a Ratings column is needed.  Finally, no one needs "permission" to make changes on Wikipedia.  --  Wikipedical (talk) 05:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: How exactly is having a TV ratings column "vital information" the article? Including it in the article is extraneous and its existence doesn't meet the notability guidelines. It's existence is merely decorative. Likewise, having random color palettes is just as decorative, and aesthetically it makes it look inconsistent with other programing list articles (see WP:COLOR and WP:DEW). I'd also advise you'd read WP:DRNC and WP:OWN: "No one "owns" an article or any page at Wikipedia. If you create or edit an article, others can make changes, and you can not prevent them from doing so. In addition, you should not undo their efforts without good reason. Disagreements should be calmly resolved, starting with a discussion on the article talk page."Whisternefet©®℠℗™ 01:27, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

text: Wikipedical isn't trying to assert ownership here. He brings legitimate arguments against the existence of certain issues of the article in this talk page through WP:DR. Had he not have discussed it, the argument that he is dominating the article would hold more water. So far, there hasn't been anyone properly refuting Wikipedical's arguments, aside claims that it is informative and somehow vital to the article, without proper reasoning. The fact that you find the content in question important isn't grounds for its existence on Wikipedia, please see WP:DRNC and WP:JDLI. Whisternefet©®℠℗™ 01:48, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I see your points, and do not disrespect Wikipedical for making these arguments. However, I think it would be best to keep information instead of deleting it, as the article would be much more useful and informative. I truly do not mind him cleaning up the article, as long as he keeps it organized and keeps information that was in the original article, discusses it beforehand and does not delete massive amounts of info. I am not saying that he does not bring up unreasonable arguments, it's just that I am much happier with the original version of this article, as it had large amounts of useful information that could be used in research, or things of that nature. Either way, the main reason he has said that he changed it was when he stated in an edit "Changed the page to make it more organized, like channels such as NBC and Comedy Central", which is really a invalid point, as this is actually more of a block, and therefore may need to be treated differently. Also, responding more deeply in the "do not own the article" discussion, how exactly is restoring an article so it may help others find info quickly and easily any worse than making extreme, uncalled for decisions and continuing to restore them with no permission?UPDATE: Alright, I think all I did was continue to argue, which was very rude and probably made me sound a bit childish, but I get what you are saying now. So, you are saying we should reach, more or less, a compramise or an agreement?65.121.222.242 (talk) 02:13, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Should these even be in the Original Programming section? They do air on Cartoon Network, the daytime portion of the channel, but they are not originals, due to Adult Swim and Cartoon Network technically being different channels. Also, Sym-Bionic Titan is the only real "original" program of any network. ThunderCats & Star Wars: The Clone Wars are technically Syndicated. I recommend they be moved to the Syndicated programming section.--173.53.83.234 (talk) 20:58, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  They're only different according to Nielsen ratings, but they're both part of the same legal entity. All original content produced by either side of the channel is property of The Cartoon Network, Inc. Syndication implies the network is renting programs from a third party company and those programs will eventually leave the network once the contract is not renewed. Cartoon Network and Adult Swim have the ability to run each others' original content forever, because they're both under the same corporate umbrella. --Tv's emory (talk) 08:26, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Super Milk Chan

message: The color codes were used to help readers differentiate between different categorys of programs appearing on the channel. The merging of the "Currently premiering" sections was done because that category is ever changing and it is very easy to become outdated when the article is neglected (which is often is). Theres my reasoning I thought I'd try even though you all will just bypass it and continue the cyberbullying. Grapesoda22 (talk) 22:29, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Explanation

message: I think it's time to collapse this section and merge it into the Specials column, and possibly rename it "Specials/Pilots." There is never enough concrete information on what happens to pilots after they're not announced for a series, as networks typically don't announce when they strike down their pilots. I suggest there be a new column for all pilots that have been broadcast, but never went to series afterwards; a combination of the "Pilots of unknown status" and "Failed pilots" sections. The pilots in development should go the way of the old "Series in Development" section from years and years ago, and then development statuses should never be listed here again. After all this article is called "List of programs BROADCAST by Adult Swim." --Tv's emory (talk) 00:35, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not merge the failed pilots into the ended original series, as they were created to be actual shows not made as specials. PS Willis said Cheyenne Cinnamon failed on twitter a while back. Grapesoda22 (talk) 03:57, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: They were never really specials either. Shows in the failed pilots section such as Welcome to Eltingville and Korgoth of Barbaria were television pilots made with the original intention of become a full series. Whereas shows in the specials section such as Young Person's Guide to History and Freaknik: The Musical were made as one-off specials with the intention of being just that.Grapesoda22 (talk) 04:38, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

text: I'm fine with this. More than anything, I want to get rid of that speculative "Pilots of unknown status" section, since they'll often get announced or made, and then never spoken about again, but as long as officials don't confirm their death any attempt to remove them gets undone by people still holding out hope. At least for pilots that have been finished and broadcast, be it on the air or online, we can have an entry for them, and I'd only want to focus on those any not anything that's in development limbo. I mean how much longer is "Let's Do This!" going to be on this list? --Tv's emory (talk) 02:15, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: The Pilots Section

message: I have noticed that there are some programs on this page that were never really aired on the network itself, but were instead aired on its website. I don't want to move them out, as it would be inconvenient, so should there be a section noting these programs? --Toonipedia (talk) 04:23, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not? Adult Swim has several web-exclusive series', not just "Rude Removal", such as Carl's Stone Cold Lock of the Century and On Cinema at the Cinema. Grapesoda22 (talk) 04:40, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: On Cinema at the Cinema is borrowed from Thing X, Adult Swim's latest web comedy portal attempt. Likewise they did the same with Super Deluxe, so you may want to think carefully about this section. --Tv's emory (talk) 02:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Online Exclusives Section 

message: The Blocks section should be moved to a separate section as neither are shows but rather blocks of shows. They should also not be italicized as they are titles for programming blocks and shouldn't be italicized see: WP:ITALIC. Grapesoda22 (talk) 07:04, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blocks section 

message: Having verbose summaries of every show, with inconsistent, poor formatting in the 'Description' column (I copy-edited probably more than 10-dozen grammatical/formatting errors) was my primary concern with the article. Such information is readily available in each show's respective article. Acknowledging in mind that removing the descriptions would probably be met with poor reception, I relegated it to only the most relevant information regarding its broadcast status to make sure that I wasn't removing most every source (as practically all sources dealt with scheduling); any series that didn't have an article would retain its description in the 'Notes' section.
I admit that the columns for 'Creators' and 'Co-productions' are considerably lengthy and awkward to look at (I adapted the column largely from the information listed in the 'Description' column), and I propose that they should be omitted entirely per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Similarly, considering the fact that almost every other programming list article is compact (here's a search query) makes me wonder why this article is the odd one out when it comes to presentation.
Perhaps it's because Adult Swim has a bizarre way of scheduling that cataloging this sort of information becomes a hobby for some people, but as I said, it distracts the purpose of this article; conversely, maybe I'm overstepping some boundaries with deciding what is excessive and what is not based on Wikipedia documentation alone, which is why I wish to establish some consensus before going any further.
I apologize in advance if what I'm saying is sort of tangential. — Whisternefet (talk/contribs) 04:40, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  You're Whole 

message: A lot of Wikipedia users hate these kinds of lists. I don't, but listening to their points, I get where they're coming from about how articles should be timeless. For the AS programs list this thing needs constant updating. When shows premiere, when they leave, when they expire, and so on. It's getting pretty messy. Eighteen categories? Goddamn! So I was wondering what people would think about collapsing a lot of these categories. Maybe into something like this: 
1 Originals
1.1 Television Series
1.2 Television Pilots
1.3 Specials
1.4 Online Series
1.5 Films
2 Acquired programming
2.1 Syndicated series
2.2 Pre-owned programming
2.3 Specials
2.4 Films
If a show has been canceled, it can be indicated in the year column. This is just an example of how the categories can be trimmed down. Anyone on a similar page? --Tv's emory (talk) 23:53, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The categories like "Currently Premiering" were what I was primarily targeting, because they require frequent maintenance. Not to mention those description boxes that have to be updated when shows are or are not on the air. The lists for Comedy Central, VH1, Spike, are much more simplified. The USA, MTV,Syfy, MTV2 articles have chosen to break their lists into genres, but I still find those easier to navigate because I'm more aware of their genre than their status in production. --Tv's emory (talk) 10:31, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Nonsense, bring back the TV ratings. That's the only reason I even went on this page, and the TV ratings were very informative and gave me as well as many others an idea of how 'adult' each show on [adult swim] was.

message: It seems more than just me are upset about the removal of the ratings, so I might as well just post them here.
 
For many shows, I have individual ratings for each show on my Google Site, Poprojo. Not trying to advertise here, I don't get any revenue from it (no ads are present on the site); just trying to keep these easy to find, due to their rarity. Not sure if posting this violates guidelines or not, so delete this if you must, but I'm just trying to keep these on the web.

message: The fake infomercials are piling up in the Shorts/Specials section, and with In Search of Miracle Man, Book of Christ, and Smart Pipe on deck they show no signs of stopping. Adult Swim's website and DVR guides list all these as episodes of the Infomercials series, so I've considered creating an article called "Infomercials (Adult Swim series)" that can be linked to from this list instead of having an entry for every single fake infomercial. --Tv's emory (talk) 03:59, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: What exactly is the WP:V consideration for this content? Series exist and it is pretty easy to verify that they exist, but interstitial shorts, fake infomercials and the such are fleeting. How do the highly-energetic fans of this network plan to ensure that the content being added is verifiable? (Not a dig on you personally, TV.
