Talk:Information Please

message: Full disclosure: I work for Information Please. I've also been a user and editor here for some time, and I'm committed to Wikipedia's principles, including NPOV and Wikipedia articles are not advertisements. With that said, this article is a bit of a muddle as written. Unless there are any objections in the next day or so, I'm going to be bold and do a bit of restructuring, but I'm also going to account for it here.
As it stands, this article is primarily about the Information Please radio show, hosted by Clifton Fadiman, with a couple of sentences strewn here and there alluding to the Information Please Almanac, Infoplease.com, and Fact Monster. It seems to me that
*the print almanac deserves more attention than one sentence (see World Almanac for the treatment of a comparative work),
*this article isn't the place for it, and
*furthermore, the websites have nothing at all to do with the radio show.
I think the most straightforward solution would be to confine this article to the radio show (mentioning the print spinoff only insofar as it was a sign of the show's popularity and influence), and create Information Please Almanac for the almanac.
(The name of this proposed article is taken from the pre-existing link on List of almanacs. The current full title is the TIME Almanac with Information Please, and a redirect from Time Almanac would not be amiss, but I'm willing to use the historical name for the main article.) -- Shmuel 15:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Further edits should include mention of Gordon Kahn who was with the show from the beginning and, according to Roger Kahn ( his son, in his  "The Boys of Summer,")  was the originator of the idea, since his head full of facts inspired the producer to think in terms of making answers to obscure questions into a radio program.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.161.123.121 (talk) 20:13, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

message: There is a Wikipedia page for Barry Jones (Australian Politician) who was a regular panelist on the Australian version of Information Please.  Unfortunately, I'm having trouble establishing a link on the Information Please page.

replies: text: Fixed! (The issue was that the "p" in "politician" needed to be lowercased.) — Shmuel (talk) 13:58, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
