replies: text: Agreed, but that doesn't mean everything should have been removed.  Like the trivia tag suggests, some of the following (particularly recurring themes and character attributes) ought to be reintegrated into the document under character descriptions or show format. - Brog Likes Rocks, 5/18/07
Please find sources that would indicate these "facts" should be part of the article:
* Rocket's engines are not actually rocket engines, but appear to be jet engines.  Rocket has a Backup Booster which does appear to be a rocket; it is used on a small number of missions in season 1, but more frequently in season 2.
* Rocket's nemesis, Big Jet, which appears four times during the first season of the show, debuted in the episode "Hungarian Hiccups".
*Big Jet appears to be modelled on the Russian MiG-29 Fulcrum - integrated into recurring minor characters section. It's linked to the wiki article for the Mig-29 and the resembelence is pretty clear.
**Unless you cite a source, this would be considered original research. HokieRNB 18:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ending? 

message: Hi, um, I've read the rumor of new characters for Season 2. Where does this information come from? Also, I've been playing on a couple of Little Einsteins games on Playhouse Disney's official site, and I've noticed that someone else besides Jesse Schwartz (Leo's usual Voice Actor) is voicing Leo instead. I may not have been able to find information on that, but does anyone know if there will be replacement VAs for the Little Einsteins?WikiFoxGirl (talk) 06:47, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quincy's Wikipedia Troubles 

message: My Fellow Wikipedians 
I am trying to add on a DVD release that took place only in the UK and other countries. The DVD is called "Oh Yes, it's Springtime" and I would like to add it to the DVD release list, but I am having problems. I want it to look like the other DVD releases on the list, but it isn't coming out right. The DVD, though an international release, uses the American voice versions on the DVD. Here is the link to the DVD release that was on September 1, 2009:
http://www.ezydvd.com.au/DVD/little-einsteins-oh-yes-its-springtime/dp/814425
If anyone can help so I can add this to the list properly so it will match the list properly the way that it is formatted, please let me know and I will use whatever advice that is given to me. Thanks in advance to all of you for any suggestions and advice. Frschoonover (talk) 20:44, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

text: I applied some fixes to the table.  There were some other formatting issues.  The table column names weren't displaying.  I changed "collection" to "DVD releases" to make it unambiguous that we are referring to DVD releases.  Anyone know why the DVDs are arranged that way?  Seems like they should either be ordered by title or release date. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:07, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

text: If you save the whole broken table code somewhere, for example User:Frschoonover/sandbox, then we can see what was wrong with it. The one line you saved was not broken so there must have been something else wrong. If you are not used to editing tables then it's easy to miss a detail in the syntax.

thread_title:  DVD Releases  

message: I am trying to add the latest DVD release "The Incredible Shrinking Adventure" to the list of DVD releases, but so far, I am again having difficulties trying to add this latest release to the DVD list. I am trying to format it the way that it is on the article, but again, I am having a hard time. How can I make another "box" the way that it is on the list to add this latest DVD release to the list of DVD releases. The episode titles on the latest DVD releases are as follows: "The Incredible Shrinking Adventure", "Quincy and the Instrument Dinosaurs", "Rocket the Bug", and "The Sleeping Bassoon" and the DVD release date is June 18, 2013. 
Can anyone help me out here on how I can format this to match the others on the DVD list? Thanks.Frschoonover (talk) 15:43, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The short answer is that you should copy/paste the last rows, including the |- (pipe, dash) that appears above it, and the || (pipe, pipe) that denote the end of each column, then change the data to suit your needs.  The even shorter answer is that I've prepared the row for you. Add the episode titles and the release date, then (and this is the really important part) delete the  that appears after it. Those bits of markup prevent the row from showing on the page.  Hope that helps. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:53, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

message: In these edits  editor  has added 1) Unsourced summary of critical response. 2) Content about viewer reviews from TV.com and IMDb. On the basis of WP:TVRECEPTION I have removed this content, but Anderswarr seems adamant that it should remain. I am proposing the removal on the basis that we already have a consensus on this matter. Viewer reviews are not within our scope of interest unless the fan response has reached such a point when it becomes noteworthy on its own. Also, we don't summarize critical response unless we can directly attribute the summary to a critical response aggregator, or to a reliable source that describes the series as having received "mostly positive reviews" or similar language. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:20, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: With regard to viewer reviews, I would agree with you. Viewer reviews are not notable in their own right. They are not from professional critics, and have no editorial oversight. Fan opinion is measured through TV ratings, just like in film articles where they are measured via box office numbers. Specific fan opinion is too isolated, and you cannot make an accurate description of fan response based solely on what IMDb or TV.com are listing (since that is based solely on the people that go to those pages). Fan response can be measured from third party sources (e.g., Variety) who are charting it themselves and making a professional opinion of those response (that makes them notable).   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 20:57, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thoughts about "mostly positive" critical response assessment? Metacritic doesn't have scores for any season of the series. Rotten Tomatoes doesn't have the series on its radar. This would suggest the assessment is original research. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:02, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally, I would say "no". When you have aggregate data, you don't need to say "mostly positive/negative", because the data speaks for itself. It removes interpretation from the equation. Now, I am generally ok with something with it comes to things like individual episodes, because there usually isn't aggregate data on individual episodes and you are trying to summarize a list of reviews yourself. It's a finicky line, but in the case of a parent article I don't see why you would need that when you have RT and MC. Additionally, I think that the lead may be a different beast then say the actual reception section. The reason being, you're not going to repeat the data in the lead, and it's probably best to summarize what you're seeing from the data. The one caveat that I would have is that if it becomes contentious (e.g., saying negative, mixed, positive when a series has a RT approval rating in the 40s, 50, 60s, etc) then it would probably be best left out completely (or force a consensus on the talk page on selecting one and leaving a hidden note explaining that).   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 21:20, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with everything Bignole said. I'd add though, that if you do want to go the "mostly positive/negative" route, it is best to have a third party source that looks at multiple reviews for the content make that conclusion. I am of the party that believes aggregate data speaks for itself, allowing readers to form their own opinions on what those numbers mean for reception. It we start adding ourselves these statements, that leads to edit wars because every user has a different opinion. And it is not our job to state our opinions in the articles. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:27, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
